Things that are overrated...

[jaruss01]

Dont have a garage, so i'll probably take off the doors and clamshell probably once...for the day...but who knows...

But front panels will be removed frequently, and the mid panel will be removed on nicer weekend days and spirited drives.

Which is better?

if only using screen for carplay, then 8 is better!

The comment by the single person about needing help removing the hard top gives me another reason I’m glad I switched to the soft top. I’m not single, but it would be a cold day in hell before my wife could be bothered to help for two minutes take a top off the Bronco that she’s already sick of hearing about. Or to put it back on quickly if it rains.

I have a ratchet strap setup in my garage. Four eye bolts screwed into ceiling trusses with the straps hanging down from them. It's an easy one person job when you do that, and cheap.

It is funny to read so many comments about doors and roof off in the summer when you live in a place where the doors and roof can be off all the time except summer.

Well... All the time as long as you have a bikini top or a big hat.

You may be shopping for the wrong vehicle.

Ditto. On some...
I have owned a couple of Wranglers and currently own another 01.
Taking the doors off (and I was pondering this just this morning while driving in open-air bald eagle freedom style) is a snap in that 01.
Literally lift and done.
The Bronc is going to add a bit of effort, time, and (relatively) complexity to it. Honestly I for sure won't have the doors on and off nearly as often, but the fact that it is designed to be done and is going to be awesome...I'll definitely be taking them off the Bronc every chance I get when torrential downpours aren't forecasted.
A little rain and such ain't no big deal.
Toad-strangler-level rain?
Nah, that isn't fun at all. Been there, done that in a Jeep and on a Motorcycle.
But it will happen, for sure it will happen.
And agreed on the screen. It fits the dash design so much better. And aging eyes trying to look at the Nav...yeah, gimme the big 'un, please, Ford. ("that's what she said" obligatory statement).

Not to mention when you’re on trails with trees and rocks trying to scratch your doors ...

I might take the doors off once just to see how that is, but going anywhere fun from my house means freeway and that just doesn't sound like fun to me without doors, too windy, too loud. Plus I like my arm rest. I'm not even sure I'll ever take the whole roof off, I like that the rear keeps my dog more contained, he gets too hyper seeing other dogs.
I can see it being great if you're close to a beach where you can drive around, no such thing here.

The bigger screen is a must for me, would drive me nuts looking at where it should be, but isn't. (Same with the missing hero buttons on some trims, would drive me nuts).

I just want quick open air, windows down. But if I end up in traffic, I can roll the windows back up and block some of the noise. Plus the radiating heat off the pavement in summer.

Hope that somebody will make a sunrider style soft top part for the entire front of the 4door MIC top, that would be the perfect combo for me. Easy open, easy closed to keep the sun/fingers/dirt out when parked.

That grab handle in the middle for the passenger can go. Getting a Base model or aftermarket delete ASAP

The missing buttons baffle me on their design decision.

Same on the sunrider.

I grew up in Yuma, which is even sunnier and hotter than Tucson. I'd actually put the soft top on in the winter since I was more acclimated to the heat. Definitely required a bikini top though in the summer... I'm a redhead and the sun makes us pay. I still make sure my jeeps have a bikini top and am planning to spend my ford bucks to get one when my Bronco arrives. In Washington its more for both the sun and rain... and have been "lucky" to have it in the rain. In Yuma, I would get excited when it rained and just drive in it -getting completely wet... and loving it! Weird what a lack of rain can do to someone. I am making up for those dry years now living in the Pacific Northwest. My love affair with the rain is over.

Don't forget about the signature lighting.

The last time I was in Yuma it was over 120 degrees!!!!!

You could feel the wind burning your skin even in the shade.

I will take the doors off once, that’s about it. The 12” screen was mandatory for me. I don’t like the look of the bezel around the 8” at all.

1. Front doors might be off all summer.

Front axle disco is totally useless to me.

I agree disconnecting an axle is highly overrated- sway bar not so much….but then I guess IFS is kinda like an axle disconnect, so there is that point. I’m so confused.

Took the doors off the jeep today, meh.
Like the half doors better, haven’t had the full doors on in almost 3 years. Some people chose the 4 door because you can carry the doors, I bet that doesn’t happen much
