Yeah, what’s your point? I put $5k in the bank and now have a superior quality top that better suits me. Personally, I would never rock the hideous factory softop, I don’t care if somebody gave it to me for free let alone pay $1000 used for it. I have no plans to ever remove the top so not concerned with that aspect either. Don’t love the logo but it’s clearly not as bad as wavy bullshit vinyl windows, the factory top’s noise level, or the fact u don’t have easy access to the cargo area. Slant back also looks much better IMO. To each their own

That logo would be a deal breaker for me. I don’t know why every place feels the need to plaster their logo all over everything. I prefer the clean look option. If someone wants to know where it’s from, I’ll tell them.

It’s a Factory Ford spare cover I added when I ordered the vehicle. They have a few different designs, should be able to find it on Ford’s website or maybe eBay for cheaper. FYI - It’s made for models with 32” tires so stock Big Bend, Black Diamond, and Outer Banks. I’m guessing it might be too loose on the base 31” tires and might be hard to stretch on 33” tires. Deff won’t fit Sasquatch tires.

That logo is disgusting. Maybe if it was black on black or a tag. That’s awful
Is removing the windows and reinstalling them as annoying as the OEM soft top? I really hate putting the windows back on the OEM top.

Windows are deff a bit easier/faster than OEM -there are no clips like the OEM one thank God. You just slide them in a track at the top edges and then the other three sides of each window just kind of easily snap into a channel. Deff pretty slick compared to any other softop I’ve ever used.
You pay extra and they slap their tramp stamp on there!?
Black on black would be one thing but this screams of insecurity. How many soft tops are there for the Bronco? If you see a well made one with a slant(bizarrely reminiscent of a Civil War kepi style hat), you should know it's a Bestop! If you don't... well, it's 20frigging23 and you just whip out your favorite corporate global oligarchy's surveillance device and look it up.
Wearing an Armani shirt is fine but wearing an Armani shirt with "ARMANI" in big letters across the chest makes you look like the french word for shower.
Now, send the hate, because the JTops logo gets a pass due to location and how much less conspicuous it is... almost like Cindy Crawford's mole but black on black would be just a bit better there too.

With you 100% on wishing it would fold all the way down. I think it’s bestop going down the lazy engineering path. It’s a ‘good enough’ design that will maximize profits. They put more thought into a poster sized logo. That can be fixed with a sharpie though I suppose.

Just cashed in my $7,000 Bronco rebate (aka hardtop) last week and installed a Trektop this week. For anybody considering buying one, looks like Bestop made a couple updates - there are no longer net pockets above the first row seats and they also added a “Bestop” logo above the rear window. Not crazy about either of those changes but it is definitely a higher quality top than either factory Ford option. Install was a PITA… both Bestop’s instructions and videos don’t explain a couple parts very well but nothing too hard to figure out.
Excuse me sir,
why do u have a base grille on ur big bend?

…because it’s the best looking one, IMO. At least much better than the Big Bend one. Surprised not everybody else on this thread has it too since they all seem to hate logos/branding so much
The new Twill top came 2 days after I ordered it, and two days later the installer put it on. Since the temperature here has been and is in the 100's is the reason I opted to have an installer take care of it and then watching him do it (with a little help of course) not an easy go.
But more importantly is the Bestop worth it.... for me it sure is! Its a helluva difference from the original soft top, QUIETER, tighter fit, clear and smooth windows. I won't go into the details of the difference since most herein have expressed it but boy is it worth it!!
Now the logo dead center above the rear window is idiotic, obnoxious, LOUD, and not cool at all. Like caring a billboard on your back... or free advertising for them... well I am not into that with anything where I can help it. So... I painted it out... it almost works but enough to not be such an eyesore. Before and After pics plus a closeup of the painted logo.
They're not paying me to advertize or I would leave it.... only kidding, not a chance!

and painted out....
Not perfect but soooo much better. I will re-paint with a matt finish, this was all I had at the time.
