Rapid Red 2-door and Shadow Black 4-door.

I need to see this truck before it gets destroyed! Rapid red is my top choice and I want to see it with the silver top!

I'm assuming the top that looks white has some sort of protection over the hideous gray color? That red with a white top would be sweet.
Rapid Red with white top and black trim looks appealing!

I thought I remembered hearing MIC is significantly lighter than the fiberglass painted top. Should be easier to remove
Yes, I've read that a few times too. I seem to recall weight estimates for the 2 door MIC clamshell being about 30 pounds and for the modular clamshell about 50 pounds.

The weight difference could be because of the pop-out rear windows needing to be beefier/thicker and require metal framing, seals, etc.

That is one extremely very ugly shade of red...:sick: To me looks more like a burnt burgundy.

So strange how we all see things so differently. Different strokes for different folks I guess...:)

Someone has said the 2 door doesn't get the removable rear windows. which is a shame. However the 20# difference might be the gunner's hatch. That part might weight 20# and they might be weighing the clamshell part without that attached.

That’s amazing if the whole clamshell assembly is that light if you are including the lift gate and side glass, which I understand can’t be removed in the 2 door, in that number. I know technology has come along way but I’d be worried about durability if it’s that light. I believe a Jeep Wrangler hardtop is about 150lbs.

I’ve seen this one in person on a ranger and how antimatter blue in the direct sun looks blue and in no sun/indirect light goes to black, this one goes red to a brownish burgundy. My wife swore it was brown paint when I told her it is called Rapid Red. RR does have a tinted clear coat so not sure if that plays a role?

If they could just air drop my bronco to my house like an amazon drone that'd be great.

I think the Marines have a Kaman drone that could do it.
