Yup on the waiting list, but no updates as of yet
They are using my Bronco for R&D and they’ve had it for 5 weeks come Friday so I expect it to be very soon.Yup on the waiting list, but no updates as of yet
Ours is 'similar'ish' in design to that. We're using a mix of billet aluminum, extruded aluminum, carbon composite in the structure and carbon fiber for the fairing. This thing will be super light and very robust. I'll also be running the Bronco with the roof rack installed in both a virtual wind tunnel and actual wind tunnel. I want it quiet with near zero added wind noise.I am in desperate need of a nice and light rack to put a tent on. Something like the OEM one but with higher load rating and that covers the entire roof not just 3/4 on the 4D.
Basically this but lighter:

Any update?
I like that. Will we have option to bolt the rear down to the roof frame, or will it just sit on the roof like OEM? Would be nice to have both options.Ours is 'similar'ish' in design to that.

Don't mind this at all. You're right it doesn't look the best but imo the best option thus far.I like that. Will we have option to bolt the rear down to the roof frame, or will it just sit on the roof like OEM? Would be nice to have both options.
So far the best option for the Bronco is:

It’s lighter than the zroadz, it allows to remove both front and mid roof panels, and it’s cheaper. The design especially the front doesn’t look the best. And it can’t bolt down.
I look forward to see your option.
So far sounds good. I especially like how you guys tend to be more innovative and untraditional.Ours is 'similar'ish' in design to that.

A couple of things to consider.
First and foremost please do not use round tubing, I loath tubing as it's old, dated and just looks like external roll bars. I like the looks of the Ford Factory rack with rectangular and custom extruded and cast parts.
Secondly, modularity should be key. To customize the shape and functionality. From basic rail system to full on overlanding rig.
Lastly maintain capability to easily remove hard top roof panels. (Sorry softop folks, but your version is phase 2)
Curtis, let us know how we can help and to get this project moving.
Maybe a removable panel over the seatsMan, if anyone was gonna tackle this…
My thoughts: exo-frame with sliding/locking crossbars so that you can move them back to fold back front row or move up to access the cargo hatch as needed.
Perhaps the crossbars can be easily removed/replaced to fold the soft top all the way down too?
