After reaching out to TGO for instructions (that weren't available at the time) and much trial and error, I have sorted out a method that works for my rig and its modifications. Assuming the winds are reasonable before the storm, I can unfurl and tarp the Bronco in under five minutes. This thing fits under the hard top when needed, its ideal for running topless all summer, or whatever in-between.
Imma run through the gist of the tarp for how I use it. This was not a prompted or paid for review/writeup, solely independent. Lets get into it.
Sling it in front of the rear cross bar, not between the speaker pods behind. I tensioned and retensioned the sling every couple days for about two weeks till all the fabric was stretched to position. Slowly but surely it lifted up out of the way from the rearview mirror.
To start the unfurl, crawl up into the back and roll that mullet out.
Heres my first deviation from the instructions. The rear buckle is supposed to loop around the spare tire carrier... I don't know about you, but I can hardly fit my hands back there and the strapping is too short to have enough excess to loop around the bottom of the tire carrier/bumpers. So, ive cinched it up and just loop it around the third brake light. Drape the long portion over the front of the vehicle, align the orange stitching/seam with the roll cage. Lightly tension the tarp and slide the excess under the wipers. Then pull the tarp over the tail lights and wrap the bands around them.
Time to lightly tension the front and rear straps. The rears hook on the oval at the trailing arm mount.
The front are supposed to hook around the hard-to-soft brake line... im not a fan of this, and it also doesn't really work with the Rekgen front mudflaps. The tarp always ended shifting and lifting mid weather event. My Mod here was to add a keyring to the strap and wrap it around the lowest spoke of the wheel. Having constant tension down and forwards has made a huge difference to the overall fit of the cover. One day I could see the keyring being swapped to a bit of paracord or something of the like.
Equally tension everything a once or twice and you are good to go!
After the storm there may be a pool of water hovering in the middle of the roof... I usually loosen one corner and attempt to send the water over the edge of the roll cage.
Wrapping it up is essentially the reverse... loosen it all up. Pull it back. Fold the wings in, each outside third to the middle... then roll her up and velcro it in!
Don't forget to give it a few hours to dry out next time you see the sun. This cover does the job, its always around, and a fraction of the cost of some others out there. It comes with the equipment required to prop a sunshade out the back - I have yet to attempt. This equipment fits within the smaller second velcro slot inside the sling.
Without instructions it was a tad frustrating but having had help and some time, I would recommend this to anyone interested. Again, not affiliated. Heres some Dog Tax.
