Looking tough! Love it! Might wanna convert mine too. Curious which soft top did you use? And did you install yourself?

It’s the standard Ford soft top & yes, installed myself with a quick helping hand from my BIL to actually hoist the top into position so it could be bolted in - it’s heavy AF!

The hardest part of this installation was acquiring all the parts needed.

Thanks boss. Do you mind listing for me the parts that you used, the OEM soft top, and where you purchased both of them?

I purchased the soft top via FB Marketplace back in January. The seller was great until I contacted him 4 months later in April seeking the extra pieces that come pre-installed on Broncos with the Dual Top option (brackets on roof, tailgate brackets, Rear cargo area covers & Supports where the top bolts in) since he wouldn’t need these without the soft top that he sold me. He was a douche and refused to provide them to me even though I offered to pay for them and they should have been included in our initial transaction. I should have done more homework in advance but I thought since the soft top was on the original pallet, all the parts would be there. Lesson learned!

There is a very helpful thread about all things soft top (sorry, I don’t recall the exact title) that I pilfered the following list from:

Ford has since changed part # for the Supports where the top bolts in and you only need to order 1 piece and not 2 since this is now a kit that has the 2 brackets, alignment tools, alignment pin & bolts) - p/n now ends in -B and here’s a picture of the box from Ford.

FYI - I purchased the tailgate brackets from Mountains2Metal because the Ford part # is all fu@ked up in their system and the price was like $600+ for 2 small brackets.

I hope this helps & good luck.

I've got a OEM Soft Top for sale in NW Arkansas that I used on my Braptor for a few months last year. All hardware included needed. Windows were never used(still in box)!

If anyone in the SoCal area is looking for an OEM soft top I’ll be selling mine soon along with the storage bag, EZ-lift from IAG, and all brackets/hardware
