it's pretty easy to do - bunch of threads on here from those of us who took them off and repainted them. They are held on with the body tape and the clips, so use some floss to break the tape away from the body, and then you can use a plastic trim tool to press in toward the center to release...
Hi! There is a pretty good thread on this process - try a couple searches for Bestop - I cannot think of it right now, but lots of good info. The "net" of it is that most of seem to spend about 3-4 hours for the first time installing the Bestop, but we all feel like it will be under 2 the next...
They actually did not even recommend that one. My goal was to put it on and use one of my upfitter switches as a relay to turn on and off and they wanted it direct to the battery.
You are quite welcome on the info - my pleasure. I like your kill switch. I talked to Warn about this and they were adamant about not using it, which I thought was odd.
I agree - wear it with pride - it makes a great story to tell someone about how other cars shouldn't mess with a Bronco! :ROFLMAO:
At some point those will be easily available from people who have swapped bumpers (or crashed theirs) and you can change it out easily. But I also understand...
Yeah - I had the room, so I was able to move it and liked having access to the wires, but with an IP68 waterproof rating, you certainly don't need to. I also wasn't sure it would fit, but you proved me wrong there! ;-)
You are going to laugh at what I used to attach to the clutch. I had...
I get it, but I have yet to see any function for the frame extensions (at least that I might use or need on my Badlands) and while it was a bit of a pain, it was only an hour or so of careful destruction and then a little more work for the install and in return I have a hidden winch. I wanted...
NIce work! Your video brought back a lot of memories of when I did mine. I took the exact same route - "let's try the grinder - oh crap, this is too slow - get out the sawzall with a heavy duty metal blade and just be careful - then bring back the grinder for cleanup!"
I differed a bit as I...
It is a bit more work, but the only game in town for this season most likely. There is a pretty good thread on this and I think we all came to the conclusion it will take us an hour or two to remove, and then probably another couple to put back on again, now that we have done it once. Not...
The weather has not exactly been cooperating to use it a lot, but I like being able to open it up and not worry about the weather turning cold or rainy and having left my MIC top sections at home. For some people the fact that this Treetop does NOT go all the way down (like the jeep ultra...
He just can't help himself, but no worries, he's got at least half his 9-lives left...give him another month or two though to get angry again... It's almost worth the 900 page read...
No, the Bestop did not put a seam there, so it will not channel water the same way. It was not when you stepped outside, simply opening the window let it stream in (you could see it hitting the window when it was closed).
I remember people complaining about going to drive-thru windows and...
So @KillerPenz (and anyone else with a Ford soft top) - I forgot to ask this. Is your soft-top a "personal shower device" or a "drink refill station" when you open your window while stopped in the rain?
When we were at Off Roadeo we all had soft tops and it starting raining in the afternoon...
