Erm, what happened to the missing studs?

Looks great.

PS the headlight switch is on the dash to the left - has a shiny light icon.😁

Although the bolts are not shown correct in the photo - if you only have 4, they go in the holes with the green circles. The red x location is just for alignment and don’t get bolted down. So they aren’t needed after all.

I’m #298, did he give you a range by chance that was in this batch?

fabian just told me it was almost ready to go to powder coat and a week later they posted a picture of a bunch of square backs about to be sent to PC. With the holidays … I’d imagine it’ll be a month or so to get all of through that process. Once they have it back they’d have to do final assembly and qc. My guess is late January or early Feb before the batch is ready to ship. He didn’t give me a range but that’s just my assumption based on being in manufacturing myself.

It has gotten a little quiet on this thread over the holiday. @Ninjak #176 hopefully got a top today. @SierraBronco and @BroncoBill44 got theirs before even though their order numbers were later. Nice install pics @BroncoBill44! @crabsquatch may be complete and @Pseudoko is heading to powdercoat then 3-4 more weeks of final processing/crating. @Chritaka is at the end of the line with order #298 without any progress notifications and is the last point of information unless someone with a later number rings in. Anyone take advantage of the year end discount?

Can we piece together enough data points to get an idea of throughput capability or did these few get processed out of order?

yup I got that email a few days ago. Because of the holidays I’d pad that for few additional weeks since nothing is going to happen until after new years most likely. Bad part is I am going to king of the hammers so probably won’t be driving to TX until mid February for install if that’s the case.

I’ve had 2 more emails with an update of still in ā€œWelding and Blendingā€ since my last update, so not much progress. I sent an email to Fabian on Tuesday and got his reply yesterday :

ā€œHey Chris,

Doing our best to keep things moving along with our minimal staff. You should be moving to powdercoat in the next few weeks. I will check with the team on where we are with production and will have your order updated soon.

Thank you,
Fabianā€

Before I left for a deployment I dropped off my Bronco with Armadillo Designs so they could make Instagram Videos with it. But mostly so they could test out their Aluminum hard top! Well I’m finally back from my deployment and got some pictures of their mock-up on my Raptor! There were a few spots they have to adjust because of the brace the raptor has on the roof. Other than that it fits and looks great! Obviously there isn’t a window on the back, but I was able to play with one on the shop floor and it was much bigger than it looks in their pictures (so to speak). The interior sound deadening was a 1/2 inch hard foam material that seems like it’ll be good at sound deadening, but won’t hold any Velcro patches. While touring around their shop in Bellville, TX I was blown away with how much they have going on. Seems like they are going to have some super cool stuff coming to the market soon and I’m really looking forward to seeing their finished top in just a few months! If anyone has questions drop them here and I can probably answer them, I’m not sure they if they are on this forum or not. (I’m not paid or endorsed by them, just a fan of their hard top)

Welcome home brother and Bellville is also close so I may have to drop in and take a look. Much obliged for you standing the line.
