Rampage TrailView Fastback Soft Top for 2 door Bronco -- installed first impressions & photos

[Mscdman]

So my issue was same as yours, with an added issue. The passenger side was slightly loose fitting, but I crimped down the rivnut tight and it fits great. The drivers side....the rivnuts would NOT FIT! Way smaller holes. I started to dwell on it and then with the help of my neighbor we just decided to router it out with a drill bit just enough to get the rivnut to fit. Not something I wanted to do, but it worked great and now I am past it. Loving rhe top these past few days!

What model year is yours? Wondering if the holes are diff sizes based on year. If the hole is too small I’m not drilling into my new car…

Just found this for $799. Is this the correct 2-door version? If so I’m ordering. It’s 1/2 what others are selling at..hopefully a reputable vendor :/

Read their reviews...and they will not send you a top. You will get a refund.

I am in Oklahoma and was able to pick up a brand new in box Bestop Trektop for $1k off marketplace. I really like it but was considering the rampage trail view before I found the Bestop. I am personally glad I went this route. I still don’t necessarily know if the Bestop is better quality but it looks better than the other options in my opinion and for $1k it’s hard to beat. Been seeing other deals on there lately too. Just saw another trektop for like $800.

I didn’t have any issues or play with the rivnuts on mine

What Model year is yours?

 

[Mscdman]

Same here. I had to leave a locking washer off on one side.

Hmm why didn’t you just buy longer bolts?

Now I’m scared. Hope I didn’t throw away $750. Reviews say they won’t cancel orders even up to a year and in some cases cancelled but only gave store credit. Not gonna work for me.

Their disclaimers don’t say this and if several months pass without a shipping number and if my card was charged in full, I would think I could successfully dispute this with my credit card company as paid and mot received. Not sure how they would escape that

Watch your statement. You'll probably see an initial pending charge that never actually gets charged. It will eventually drop.

It does say pending…man I hope I didn’t get ripped off. I’m fine if it drops but review indicate otherwise… . Hope my credit card has my back

I got a refund. Wheew.

Question; for those who have installed the riv nuts without having to widen the hole what year and body style did you have?? I don’t want to buy this and find out the riv nuts don’t fit

I have a 21 2 door and the rivnuts went in fine

Thanks. Mines a 23… I should also ask the person who had the issue

 

[STX Bronco]

Mine went in fine also. I have a 23. I have gotten the vibration under control too. I just have the Velcro straps 1/3 way done above the driver and passenger seat and it’s gone away. It does bubble a little in the middle. But hey, I don’t have to look at it. lol.

Well struck out a 2nd time. Real truck told me they had 13 in stock. Placed order. Was told I’d have in 3 days. No shipping notification…

I call them and they tell me the 13 are already paid for by some “company” and they don’t have them. So if anyone has a lead on the 2-door version please let me know. Else I’m giving up on this BS endeavor.

why would a company suddenly discontinue a product after they are popular. Not a happy camper.

@Bestop_Team please make a 2-door soft top that is better than what you have. The demand is there. Your competitors have one. Can you??!

It's pretty much a one company town in terms of Bronco soft tops unfortunately. I miss the days back when I had a selection of aftermarket tops available in various styles and features for my CJs.
