It might be a bit hard to see, but I simply created a "U shaped" metal sleeve that sits on the factory handle (it has some rubber to make it snug). It does not come "up" because I have it limit the vertical travel with the flange coupler on the rod. As for insurance, it is about a 1/4" hole -...

I looked at the Vice kit when I was installing and decided it was not going to work for me as I figured I didn't want to count on having access in the mud if this was in the wheel well or under the bumper, so I simply created my solution (drew inspiration from another B6G member) and put my...

Agreed - I paid in the same range at both Chapman in Egg Harbor and Medford Ford (scheduling and location). Both needed to be taught the 5 tire rotation (both said Ford service manual only called for 4 tire), but added that any time I came back to just please let them know b4 what I wanted, no...

It was sitting on the loft in my garage for 6+ months...but back on again. Sorry!

Happy Birthday to my Bronco! Hard top is back on for the winter, though the last few days have been nice. And happy birthday to yours too, @KillerPenz! The dogs really enjoyed their "roof-off time" this year (that is the mesh top - close enough) First day pic, and then one from this summer

Now that more people have their Broncos I wanted to 'bump this' as they are still available. Just noticed them again when putting my soft top away for the winter...

Wow - Yeah - I'd be hard pressed to do the swap-around for weekends...that would get old quickly. Good luck - gotta believe the has to be an alternative for the kayaks from somebody someday

Very nice write-up! Hadn't even looked to see if anyone had documented this - did mine this morning and was going to report my experience (but I was not thoughtful enough to document the process like you did!) I concur that this was easy - I did the pretty much the same and was actually...

I have the MIC and found that while it was nice to pull the front sections, the middle was a pain because it could not fit in the Bronco, so it had to be left at home, and I still had the rear enclosed. I went ahead and bought the Bestop fastback twill soft-top as I was not fond of the look of...

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...

Sorry, that was a while ago…though that sounds like the range of the connectors I used

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...
