Feedback from Trektop on Bronco 2D?

[VailDan]

I am going to try my Bronco out without a softtop, but if I get sick of throwing the front MIC pieces in the back when it is cloudy outside, I might have to break down and buy the Trektop. This is specifically for people that have 2D and the Trektop for the 2D is a little different in that it folds up high on the rear rollbar, etc. but are you guys happy with your purchase. Anyone not happy with it or find it too time consuming, etc?

I went through the install video and it is a lot. I know those frames and harness make it super strong in 80mph winds, and also saw some guy showing his MIC being raised up 1/8" when he put it back on for winter over those lower sticky seals, and just wanted to get overall feedback

I considered the Trek top and ended up with the Sunrider top instead. I wanted fast and easy access and quick return to waterproof if it rains. Best $900 I’ve spent on mods for the Bronco.

Loved my 2 door Trektop. When I switched to 4 door I got another one. The whole sitting on the roll bar thing doesn’t bother me a bit

The twill top is probably nearly as quiet as the hardtop. It’s a four season top. No need to ever use your hardtop again. Idc where you live. Only exception is if you want a roof rack. Other than that, no looking back.

I would buy it if it actually folded all the way down and didn't show. I've had a sunrider on since '21 and love it, but am holding out for a better soft top option.

I also have the twill Trektop and love it. I’ve had it for a little over a year and didn’t even bother to switch back to the hard top this winter. My personal favorite way to roll with it is in “safari” mode.

I am curious about anyone who is switching the 2dr Trektop on for summer and the hardtop back on for winter.

I just installed my Trektop and love it. Seen some videos where people have said switching back to the hardtop is no problem. Few examples of it actually in practice more than once. Thoughts?

Same question - It looks like the sticker piece you put at the bottom along the side of the Bronco need to stay and the MIC will sit up over those? Not sure if there are any issues from that.

I bought the trektop last spring and went back to my MIC top this winter. The weatherstripping actually looks factory now when i look at it.. almost as if it should have been there all along.

Im just about to swap back to the Trektop again for summer. Much nicer than having to deal with the panels. It really is a nice OEM quality top. I have a rampage on my early bronco and this is in a different league.

On a sidenote, I landed a spare Ford Trektop soft top if you decide to take the plunge. Im in Ohio.

Here's what the weather stripping looks like with the factory MIC top back on

Another option is a waterproof bimini/bikini.

How long does it take you to put this on? If I pull over in a gas station and grab from under a seat or something to throw on, it looks like it might take about 10 minutes to tie it in everywhere? I might order one of these

 

[VailDan]

In 10 minutes, you can put it on 5x

It takes about 2-3 minutes. Install video here, and it fits under your seat.

This is awesome. I have used bikini tops a lot in my life and love just having a canvas under the seat, etc. When it is raining pretty good(not talking sideways) how bad is it at stop light? It looks like it would be coming in the front and sides pretty heavy. I would love to hear feedback on rain leaking in either front or the side. I am sure it is there, but is it just your shoulder getting wet, just getting the front of the dash wet, etc?
