Excited for all of you getting your tops soon. Ordered mine just a couple of weeks ago so I don't expect it until early 2025. Looking forward to the reviews with photos.
I shouid be ready to Ship. Hah if I was 20 years younger, I would drive Jessabelle down to Texas and get it done. But alas, Miami to Texas is a looooooooooong way. I do not think butt would survive the drive.

Do it!I shouid be ready to Ship. Hah if I was 20 years younger, I would drive Jessabelle down to Texas and get it done. But alas, Miami to Texas is a looooooooooong way. I do not think butt would survive the drive.
It's only 18 hours roughly from ya.
BB isn't THAT much further. (only 9 MORE hours)
Less than 3 more hours to the hill country where the TX off-roadeo is held.
Make an adventure out of it!
Take that $1000 you would have spent on shipping and spend it on fuel and adventure!
When we head to points west (AZ, UT, etc.), we hardcore it all the way to Amarillo (almost 20 hours), then do the more laid back daily treks to destinations/waypoints after that first hard push.
It is difficult, but helps to enjoy the extra time exploring you've gained by making that initial push.
But hey, I'm just that guy. Not everyone is wired that way. I once drove an 18 hour round trip just to save $300 on an item and justified it by adventuring and road tripping OTW back.
Yeah, fuel and eats ate up the savings but we gained some memories.
@broadicustomworks : Haha! I get it. When I was in, I drve from Cleveland OH to Ft Bliss El Passo TX. In a 1984 not so new Calivere. (100 mph tape holding on the left headlight) yeah, it can be done, but as I said, now days, if it's over 4 hours, I'm flying !
That's a BIG box! So yeah.....going to need to do that in the driveway lol!

Install video is here. Also found that it arrives assembled. Woot. Assumed it would be in a few sections. But nope! Winning!
@BroncoBill44 : Ya beat me to it! Yeap just watched the install vid, easy peazy. Just need a few guys to help you seat the top on, and some to help you take the old top off. Love the fact it comes assembled, and that they are giving you some bolts. Out of locktite, so I need to grab some.
I am rather surprised it is just that simple. The team made good use of where to put what. I also see why this is a permanent install, as I would not want to be taking off all those bolts, especially in the front. With the wide open panels, that will not be an issue.
Oh its a reality now........Vid released, I am just waiting on that email saying it's on its way to Miami!

I would recommend some adhesion promoter as well. Alcohol is good, but put this on after. (Gloves aren’t a bad call) Stuff makes a world of difference with double sided tape.

There is no way I’m calling anyone for help with this. That’s embarrassing
