Update Log ???
Sigh,

So FedEx has yet again found a reason not to deliver. They are now saying the package is too big for residential delivery. Then he recanted and said they did not have a truck big enough, even though they said they had the truck earlier. After he was made aware that the delivery was promised for today, he went on to say that the people who scheduled the deliveries do not know what is actually happening in the depot.

After a supervisor was asked to get involved, so everyone could understand these policies, it was then determined that a large enough vehicle would be there in the morning and I will receive my package between 9~12.

So we are now a week late from the original delivery.

Interesting how these shipping companies can be so…mismanaged (?)…on this. It was a whole big thing with estes too. We had tell them to come back adequately prepared and they said they would handle it. Second attempt? No changes. But at least that guy wasn’t going to simply dump it off the back of the truck. He still only put it in the driveway though. Garage was too hard.

You can fit a lot of clowns in a 2dr...

And y'know, to stay on topic, I'd figure they'd show up with a flatbed trailer and forklift. That's what they do with roofing supplies.

hoping they come through tomorrow for you bud. Kind of happy I decided to drive halfway across the country at this point to have AD install it in their shop when it’s ready.

Confirmation that it is indeed quieter on the interstate. If you are dumping your exhaust in front of the axle it won’t do anything to dampen that noise if you’re on the throttle, but just cruising is much quieter on wind.

Awweeeeee shit. Here we go!

Don’t fret when you watch the instructional video and your stud count doesn’t match theirs. Apparently they updated and you only need the four studs now.

Well I am all prepped and ready to go. Just waiting on my "help" to get here and help me take the soft top off, and put the hard on. Have to say it was packed well. Some pics:

Do you find the orange is closer to the cyber orange body color or the code orange package/trim?

Def Code Orange. It's not as reddish as code orange, could it could pass without a sniff test. I have some other orange accents so it will be ok.

Lol still waiting on the "help". Man, this Miami time is a real thing here, so now its dark. I guess I'll leave it till the morning.

Huzzah! The Top has finally come.....HOME. (In The ROCK's voice)

 

[Ninjak]

Welp, the help came through! 3 hours late, but they came! In force! I guess they were ready to see this top I kept talking about lol. So broke out the work lights and did a little night install!

Overall I am happy. I have to do a few things in the morning, put back my overhead molle, install the DV8 pocket rear molle, and put my reverse Wolbox cam up. The top went relatively easy...there were a few parts that did not quite line up with what the video said would be so easy lol. But overall not to bad. I would say the hardest part was getting it off that scaffolding, and placing it on the Bronco. Some of the help was height challenged.

A few pics until I can get some better ones tomorrow.
