The quality of the current MIC top is probably the biggest issue holding me back from purchasing a Bronco. I personally have no desire to ever remove or open the top and feel that the risk of annoyances or major issues from leaks, noise, damage, and/or deterioration is to great to be worth the...
Yes.
My main priority is having a roof with greater quality. No interest in taking the top off so not worth taking any risk of annoyances from leaks, noise, cracks etc.
Have been watching since before the release and thought that I'd be in a Bronco by now - if not for the roof issues (though...
Yes - AI (although it did what it was asked) has created something that the manufacturer will undoubtedly be unable to support.
Wait! Can AI teach Ford to engineer and support their current electronic technology to higher reliability standards ??

I was surprised to see the Bronco...
Wondering the same thing. Have been holding out for a better roof and was hoping the modular top would be good enough and not have to wait for a normal/permanment/fixed/metal roof...
Turn Offroad,
Just logged in to provide some words of encouragement and wishes for your success with this project.
Seems like the group has a long wish list of desired features, and mine falls at the minimalist end of the spectrum for a 2 door single piece top. Please don't loose sight of...
1. Fixed roof (metal, pemanent, sound proofed).
2. A La Carte configuration from the factory to allow selection and installation of various components that are available in/from the various trims. Would be willing to spend $1,000 maybe $1,500 to be able to select wheels , fender flares , grill...
Have been watching the Bronco news since before the initial release and thought that I would have one by now. Have the money saved up. But,, the current roof quality is a show stopper for me.
Went back to window shopping the Jeep Wrangler again but also having quality concerns.
Now waiting...
I voted YES for a fixed top.
1. Just not a convertible person.
2. Interested in less noise and increased insulation.
3. Interested in less maintenance as in the ability to wax a metal roof along with the rest of the vehicle.
4. Interested in less maintenance from any minor scratch and dent...

OH Wait !! Are we saying that the smaller silloutte in the photo is an Old model and not a new pre-release model?? If so I am really sad.
Need to find some other endeavor in life to provide meaning and value - other than looking for my ideal vehicle. :(
Excited to see how the 2 door turns out.
Have been wanting a short-wheelbase, 2 door, hard top with decent 4x4 capabilities.
((plus a number of other features such as reliability, good road manners,, etc ... .. . .))
Seems that MOD Fever is contagious across all brands of autos:

Ok Doc, I'm just here because of my wife - I don't really have a problem.
I need you to give me a clean bill of health to shut her up.
She thinks I have a case of Mod Fever, but she just dosen't...
I am waiting for a 2 Door with a one-piece roof. And, at least a single locker like the Black Diamond model. This is the only config I am interested in.
Thought that this would have been available by now....

RAK2 here....
I support the effort to establish some local connections and communications.
Unfortunately I am apparently quite some time away from being able to order/own one.
But happy to be here as a lurker.
Do some research on 'Radical Acceptance' ,,, could be helpful for other things in life.
It that ain't enough, might try some Logotherapy.
Sadly, my experiences and feelings following the Bronco saga has driven me to seek these self-help concepts.

SAFETY WARNING !
It is possible to induce Oversteer behavior with a wide variety of vehicles.
This is a condition where there is some combination of low levels of contact/friction on the rear tires and a lateral force that overcomes that rear tire friction/resistance.
This results in the...
What am I going to do ?
As a non-reservation holder that has been watching the forum since before the initial product release, and was expecting to be owning and driving a Bronco well before now:
1. First thing I need to do is stop checking this forum 3 times a day.
As a former student of...
