Bronco Hard Top How-to Video: Remove Roof Rack, Panels and Hardtop

[Nickp]

No power tools needed on JK wrangler hard top. Ford will have to offer some kind of wing nuts for the back part.
:/

.... you do need a socket at least for a wrangler. Which would work fine with the Broncobut an impact driver is about 17x faster.

How is it "cool" that they're adding another proprietary bolt into the world? Like c'mon thats so lame. If someone wanted to go through the trouble of "Stealing your bronco hard top" they're gonna have the tool regardless. Also, what's with that location of the connectors?

I mean I’m sure there’s a reason, and just never take the tool out of your center console or glove box?

I wish they’d have told us how much the top weighs.

Thanks for posting the video. Can't tell if my internet is slow or if that guy was just a really slow talker. Seemed to need a breath after every other word. Maybe I've had too much coffee and everything is in slowmo.

Seems fairly cumbersome tbh

Or a gen3

How about the gen1 with the 8 inch posts on the rear of the top to fit in the bed without scratching the paint!

Some take aways

1. This guys underbite got worse since the last video. It looks like he’s got a full lipper in while filming this!
2. Stop with the flannel shirts
3. Gloss black mod top is a horrible idea. Especially if you plan to remove tops as often as you would open a sunroof (which to me is 75% of the time if it’s above 70 degrees). It will get so many scratches.
4. I’m not buying a roof rack on the 4 door until the cargo area proves to not be spacious enough and I know for sure I’ll need a rack. I want to remove the mid panel often. Chances are if I buy a roof rack I’ll store it with the box and install them maybe twice a year for big road trips, but otherwise, no roof rack 99% of the time. And not spending to get it day one. Nor can I given GVWR on the BL

5) Get the MIC top with the truck and choose from the myriad of aftermarket soft tops that will be available.

I wonder if this is close to a final version of the production mic top? Not to bad.

Feel like you're forcing yourself to find something to complain about lol

I can’t read 6 pages of complaints lol. Seems very straight forward and easy.

2 takeaways, don’t let that dude ever try and make a joke again. Mold? Yikes.

2) Did he really ask how we felt about the top options? You realize we don’t actually have a choice, right? Stock options are decided for us.

In another world, Ford decided to make the roof rack and hardtop removal with T30 Torx bolts everywhere. At the same time another group of people complained that anyone on the street with a T30 driver could steal their roof rack while internet screaming “Come on Ford!”

Def a bit more cumbersome than I expected but ive never owned an suv with removable top so what do I know (heres a hint- nothinggggggg)

You call that complaining? An observation is not a complaint. Don't be so sensitive.
When I complain, you won't have to feel for it.

An easier way to take the top off:

As soon as I saw his side profile all I could think about was Beavis.

Lol damn we can't have nice things cuz of ya'll. I thought he did pretty well. Video was short and informative so no complaints from me.

JKU hard top is about 130 pounds. 2 door is less. Probably about 100ish.

Remind me to never be in a video that goes on this site. Someone always finds a way to make fun of someone for no reason.

It's a good video. Something many of us have asked for.

I'd like to see the presentation skills of the muppets complaining and making fun.
