That looks awesome. Design wise it seems to be the best soft top roof rack I have seen yet. Looks like it flips back to allow soft top operation. Very cool. What kind of ball park are you shooting for price wise? Also, any chance you would offer just the front piece?

Hi,
Price is TBD because we have two bids out for powder coating and still waiting....The accessories will be available individually, The plan is you can purchase the basic rack and add any the parts. You are welcome to purchase whichever part you like.

As soon as we get the coating info we will open for orders...trust me, I am ready!

Thanks for your interest.
Tim

Very cool product guys! As a MIC hardtop owner, take this feedback with a grain of salt

To me the function of your design looks outstanding. It is probably a very cost effective design as well. However… IF you wanted constructive criticism, it might make sense to work on a future Gen 2 design that has a more sleek appearance and less like an “erector set”.

Maybe try to build some curves into the appearance and hide some of the fasteners?

Just a guy who wants to see y’all do well!

Will the production version have all those rivets?

I can't say I'm in the market for this specific rack as I will have a hard top on my Bronco but this is one of the best designs for overall function that I've yet to see.

Out of curiosity what is the weight capacity on the back half when its in the flipped up position? Can it handle a couple hundred pounds in that position?

Hi,
Yes, the look will be pretty much the same, counter sunk bolts. There will be less holes as they will be refined. The holes were for trying out different configurations. There will be a Molle panel option for the sides to attach anything you like.

This prototype is back spray paint they will be matte black textured powder coated

Thanks for your Interest, they will be up for sale in about a week.

Hi,
The capacity for the rear rack is 80lb all the times up or down. Flipped up is just temporary position while opening and closing the roof. I have no interest investing it to breaking point so 80lbs was way in the safe zone. It needs to be light weight, with the sleek, stream lined design to retain tilt ability.

This is not meant to compete with Gobi or Raket. They are a look I think is cool but safari and not for me. The effort required to operate the soft top with them, defeats the purpose.

The 80lbs number was reached because it's all I needed , This is not for heavy cargo... more for skis, snowboards, surfboards, luggage, a canoe, some lumber, a ladder...... if the front bar is included.
The front bar has 40lbs.




BTW, the 22 Winty rack will work with your hard top off.


Thanks

Where will it attach to vehicle? Not a fan of the racks that attach via the bolts holding rear body panels on. (Bad experience using one already)

Looks fantastic!!

Distance between the front rail and the forward rail of the rear aseembly? Wondering if there’s a way to get a Thule pod up there (my dream since we have the pod already and have no way to load with the soft top).

Sorry!
I love the fasteners and the "erector set" aesthetic and modular look, Its more my style...
There will be less bolts, as the updates design for production calls for less, but only like 10 % less
I do welcome all suggestions... no salt needed.

Thanks

Hi
I believe the pods will fit, the gaps between the rear bar and the mid bar is about 3' the gap between the mid bar and the front over windshield bar is about 6'

I bet the Pod would be happiest grabbing the rear and mid bar....
What's the model of the pod


Thanks

Sweet! It’s an oldie - Thule Atlantis 1200 Xt

I have to use the 3 hard top holes and the 2 fender top bolt holes, it's the only way. The way the side windows fit forces the bracket to hug the body line like it or not. Or the windows bind.
I have a 1/16" rubber gasket between the bracket and the body to protect the paint


I drove 6000 miles, a lot with 80lbs ( my listed capacity) on all sorts of bouncy road and had zero damage....check out my instagram account for pics and videos

This concern is part of the reason why I have capped it at 80lbs way under its potential. But 80lbs is also plenty for what I use it for, and I believe it to be the same for most of the Bronco owners. Im betting most will never take it off road.

Thanks
