At least a new tidbit slips out ………. never heard about the 16 beta tops out.

I guess none are connected with 6g or we would of heard something ?

if they’re beta tops they’re like for like quality control and testing and aren’t allowed to talk because they’re changing things based on that.

What's so sad about that picture is I'm remembering how much time has passed since they said the tops were "ready."

Good point but with sixteen out in the wild you would think someone would have some info.

They driving em around Area 51 ?

im not going to cancel until I am sure that
adv is going to take longer to get than a replacement
off road is actually up and running with shipments and has a firm shipping schedule.

Turn Offroad is NOT up and running with shipments and is likely months away from delivering their first products. I was one of the first on their list and I am also on the list for an Anderson Composites top. We’ll see who wins the race.

yup, i know off road is not up and running, thats why i will not do anything until I am sure they are .
i am monitoring then , watching to see the timing. looking forward to actually some shipments from them and hopefully positive reviews.
i hope as people on the forum receive their tops they will post pictures and reviews. I believe Andersson is shipping as I have seen comments on the forum to that extent, but thats basically the ford design, I believe with that many individual parts the chances of noise, leaks ,etc. increases and that is why its adv, then off road, then the soft top.
please post anything you get from either one so we can all be kept informed.

I guess but the people with them may have some sort of NDA and I think most people wouldn’t pay enough attention to realize it’s aftermarket. Most bronco owners I’ve met/talked to have no clue what these forums are and likely don’t know about something still being developed.

Oh I get about 2 out of 10 that even say Bronco not Jeep and that includes people with a “off road vehicle “

But with the roll out of this whole brand you could see / hear if somebody changed the badges or days of wheel offset discovery, not to mention bars , lifts , lights


But with this top it is like a skunk works project

You would think they would want to show case their product , accidentally ……. In a good light out and about

I don’t see a good enough alternative to change course but it is starting to get frustrating


Beta should have happened months ago

They did showcase that guys blue bronco who’s been using the hardtop. Wanna hear something crazy? I’m about to jump into the order pool even after all this. I really just want the 2 (technically 3) piece modular that’s actually black and I don’t necessarily like the turn offroad prototype. But I want to get in before they jack up the price. Also I kind of want to get a paintable one but I don’t want to think about also having to pay to have it painted.

We have said numerous times what the reason for the recent delay was in this thread. However the fact that more and more posts come in this thread, start to bury the old post. So to clarify, here is the current update:

We could have been shipping the tops back in May. However they were not dialed with foam injection and paint (This was the final assembly QC problems). We made the executive decision to dial in the process by investing MUCH more money and time in foam injection steel tools and other equipment.

The tops were technically acceptable back in May and was better than the OEM hardtop but we do not settle. We always need to ensure that we are very happy with the end product. Our level of detail and product development is unmatched by any other company out there. We never had any intentions of taking this long to develop and produce the hardtops. However, between supply chain delays (out of our control) and our dedication to perfection (Fixing QC issues) that has caused many, many delays.

So to put it in perspective, we could have either shipped products in May and dealt with potential customer complaints of product quality or we push out ship dates, dial in the quality and ship at a later date and produce happier customers from the quality. Yes, there are trade offs. We decided that although it will be tough to deal with angry customers because of another delay, it would be harder to deal with customers complaining about quality. So to summarize it, we are always chasing the best possible product. Some customers see that, others only see the delays which is fine. No further delays are in the equation, we are simply working through the final assembly process and taking care of a large backlog. If the customer wishes to wait (A little longer) then they will be happy once they receive the hardtop. If they do not wish to wait, then we are more than happy to offer a full refund.

I very much appreciate this explanation. I would rather wait and have you get it right instead of being an involuntary beta tester. I appreciate the dedication to build a quality product. I would have appreciated getting this explanation sooner. My anxiety level would have been much lower. I look forward to receiving my hardtop in January.

I don’t know what everyone is complaining about. Instagram says the top is HERE!

They took the road less traveled and got lost

Found someone on CL selling their AC top here. So I guess AC indeed ship out their top.

That post looks sketchy as all out. Misspelled words, bad sentence structure, and most notably no picture of the ACTUAL TOP. If it's still in the crate, take a pic of it and add it to the post.

Scammers look on these forums just as users, see what's hot and what could pass as a high-value item, and here ya go.

If the ad is real, he should have no issues selling it.

Will you still look forward to receiving it in June?
