I pre-ordered an item from Archetype back in April that was supposed to ship out in July. I still have yet to receive it and getting no response from them after 2 emails to customer service. Given the price of their products and the lack of response, I won't order from them again.
I purchased the GearShade top as well, however, I'm not a fan. 2 of the bungee cords have already snapped and I've only had the top down twice so far this season (due to all the damn east coast rain so far).
I have a 2010 Tacoma TRD and a Badlands. If you can only have one due to financial reasons, etc, don't get rid of your Tacoma. Murphy's Law - the day you get rid of your truck is the day you'll need it. To me, vehicles like Broncos and Wranglers are made for fun. If it's a matter of...
Upgrading tie rods is one thing, adding spacers and 37's is a whole different ballgame. The more you jack any vehicle higher in the air, the more issues you're going to potentially face.
Yes, this system has a couple more features that the Ford enclosure doesn't have. However, I can live without them given the difference in cost. I installed my Ford enclosure last week and love it.
Anyone who throws money at these guys for a protocol on a animated Bronco is crazy. The couple features added puts this at over $6k. That’s nuts for something they can’t show a real picture of. Who knows, this could rattle, whistle, leak, shake, or simple not look like the cartoon.
Sticker shock on this hard top for sure. I was planning on around $4k, but this simply makes it easier to wait and see what the competitors come out with.
