Hkak45's BD Build and Trips log

[Hkak45]

I was just going to ask. Is it a huge undertaking to put the hardtop back on?

Not really because you can actually leave some of the top brackets on with hard top. And the soft top skeleton is still there and building the skeleton was half the time spent. I'd say less than hour to swap hard to soft.

White rocker panel stripe installed today. Will blend well with the white shift knob.

33s are perfect imo

Yea I agree. Especially on the 2 door it's the sweet spot where you aren't limiting your travel by fender room and still gives you some taller clearance

Looks great I too would like to see a pic of the top pushed back.

I've been thinking about splitting times between my MIC and the best top, but feel like once I switch them out it's over. Good feedback though and love the look.

Thanks for the pic. I really wish that top laid flat like the factory 4door soft top. That is the main reason I have not gotten the best top. If some company could do that I would be all over it! But over all love your build and treks you are doing with your bronco.

Yes that is my one disappointment with the top is how it folds like that when open. Bestop did say they are in the works to make one that folds all the way back. But I normally ride safari style to not get burned anyways

 

[Hkak45]

So far riding around safari style with the Trektop has held up impressively well. Yesterday has 35 MPH winds on the country roads and was going 60+ MPH and the top was super tight and didn't budge at all.

This is how I feel like I would use that top the most. I like the look on the 2dr far better than the 4dr though.

It is nice how easy it is to get to this configuration too. I ended up buying a jeep window bag for the windows so I can keep them in the vehicle in case it rains.

-Bronco Graveyard trail sight flagpole mount
-Gorilla whips 1/4" fiberglass flagpole and orange flag for when at OHV parks
-figured 1/4" would be thin and flexible enough to hopefully not snap on the trails.

Painted the flag pole mount to match the trail sight

Installed SS6 fog lights. Brighter than I thought but may be too bright to use on road even though they are DOT legal.

Added some stickers to the tailgate for the places the bronco went. Hope to fill this thing up soon!

Received my fold down tailgate table and installed it. I went to the hardware store to upgrade all the bolts with a better grade since that seemed to be the weakest point. Overall now it feels really solid for the price.

Added Sasquatch OEM Bilstein suspension

33" K02

Bestop Trektop twill soft top installed on the bronco.

Custom shift boot and shift knob installed:

White rocker panel stripe added

you know what worked for me with my oracle-fogs, is I used spacers to angle them down just below my low beam light pattern, and No one has ever flashed me, not once. and…I can see that the light stays out of the mirrors of the cars in front of me, even though they are bright as hell!
I actually use them as DRL’s
So no one pulls out and I T-Bone them!
