Diy hoist using this video as a starting point.
I didn't like weight of the top resting on just the hooks so I made an aluminum frame that the top sits on and has holes for the guide pins.
Also went with a harbor freight electric hoist instead of the rope hoist in the video.
I've got a Raptor and a Badlands, I can take pictures of each side by side easier than each of us trying to recreate the same picture. Also happy to do measurements.
The hoods are definitely different blanks from the start.
Raw dimensions of panel gap, I don't see anything that immediately...
I didn't know if it meets your easy to remove criteria but recently got the OEM tonneau cover and after doing this suction cup mod, it works great.
I can't find the thread I used which didn't glue the suction cups on, but used a leather punch and bolted these on.
Cheaper 3rd party version...
Same concern for me, and as another person said, I barely have enough floor space for the doors, let alone the top which is why I wanted the top to rest on something even while hoisted.
Either way, these floor carts are cool and fun projects that I'm glad people are making.
I was a big fan of the Trektop Pro on my JK and enjoyed it for many years. It was a great compromise between a hard top and traditional soft top. I would love to see a Bronco version.
I don't have those boards or the attic shelf so I don't definitively know but I think they will be .5-.75" too wide.
Attic shelf specs says it's 44.5" wide, my traction boards (the other ones available from Ford Performance) are speced at 45". The ones you linked are 45.67"
You can see how...
For me it's pretty simple, I don't value it as a feature and without "unauthorized" circumvention, it's active at every startup. Simply make the on/off state fixed and I couldn't care less.
An example of when I don't like it when active is pulling into my garage, holding idle for a few...
I did something similar. I wanted to have the weight of the top rest in its normal mounting surface so built an aluminum frame that the guide pins index into. I put the middle section on top of the rear cap and can put the two front panels inside if I need to.
I have these and would recommend over the film as they are so easy to use/swap.
I did find them to be more yellow than amber and I've been contemplating picking these up in hopes they match the OEM amber a little better...
There may be others but Pura Vida Off-road is what I have.
Tucks them up into the hard top and if the traction boards themselves didn't sag slightly, you wouldn't even see them out the rear view.

Just finished mine using Cricut, not perfect either but pretty close and honestly close enough as with my traction boards mounted, no one is ever going to see it 🤣.
The only thing I can think to add is that FE should have a different interior color than what is available in the 21'-24' Wildtrak. I don't care for the sand/tan interior of the Wildtrak and it is one reason we were looking at the FE.
