Just installed the Trektop on my 2 Door Base Model. The 1.5 hour install time they estimate is for a professional. If this is your first time installing a soft top of any kind, allow 4 times as much time. It's a lot of parts and pieces and the fabric or vinyl is not stretched yet for the perfect fit. Also, I have the sunshade installed too. Cool thing is that is can remain in place and the soft top goes right over.

I also made a dolly for storing my hard top out of scrap aluminum frame, works well and allows me to move the hardtop around the garage as needed.

Couldn't agree with you more.....and LOVE your Velocity Blue! :LOL:
Paid for the install directly on the Bestop site, at home install....definitely worth it!

I know Iā€™m one of the select few that this would bother but after placing my order for the Trektop, I learned Bestop moved from the very suttle Bestop tag on the passenger rear of the top to ā€˜BESTOPā€™ with their logo boldly above the rear window of the top. All tops being manufactured now have this so if you recently ordered this is what youā€™ll be getting. Bestop acknowledged the images on their website and other vendors needed to be updated. Bestop stated they could not send it without the change and have a ā€˜logā€™ of customers who have called in complaining about the misrepresentation. I want my Bronco to maintain a factory appearance and I am not interested in having a top with BESTOP in big white lettersā€¦due to this along with the loss of being able to fold the top all the way back and remove itā€¦I am cancelling it.

I realize some may consider this a mute issue but wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the unadvertised change.

I imagine a lot of people will end up either sending them back or breaking out a Sharpie. šŸ˜‰

Might be better if they could find a square black twill or vinyl patch and glue it on. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

I havenā€™t seen one in person yet but the rep from Bestop said it was around 6 inchesā€¦found this picture online. I just want a plain black top like the OEM without doing their marketing. Again the suttle tag with Bestop was fine but the bold and obvious name/logo ruins it for me.

I just do not think Bestop is a good option for the 2D. I just think it looks weird when the top is all the way down and folded up high, and I did not know they had some cheap branding they were stitching into the windows as well. I am canceling my order and just hoping that someday they make some changes and I can buy a standard factory looking top that folds all the way up and down. It would not be near as bad if there was a decent bikini top for the Bronco, but not seeing anything decent at all.

I guess I got lucky with the old tag. The install for this was horrid. I hope someone comes up with a video of the EASIEST easy to remove this turd on the fall. It does look good though

That was my original concern as well. I can assure you though that from the cockpit it's actually better and more like having no top on. It is totally out of your line of vision from inside since it's sitting on top of the roll bar.
On the 2D trektop, is it possible to actually remove the top(canvas from the harness) decently easy? I think most Bronco owners are content with having the top half way down, but I would love to actually remove it and throw it in the garage on a clear day when I know I do not need it. Guessing that is not an easy option and would take 30 minutes..., but if there is a way to pretty easily unattach it from that frame let me know

Loving mine!

Agreed. I DID order the soft top, to avoid the additional wait of the hard top, almost certainly losing out on AMB. I still opted for the Bestop, and sold my factory soft top.

How much did you sell your soft top for? If you don't mind me asking.

My gas mileage improved over 1 MPG when I switched to the Bestop lol. I guess lower weight and slightly better pressure recovery with the fastback shape. Was getting 17ish before and now getting high 18s.
