Who is the Jeep top manufacturer with a similar roof but no step down at front? Patriot Fastbacks. They were working on a prototype at one time

If you like the Land Rover top, then get a Land Rover.
And spend $40k more for an electronic nightmare that'll spend more time getting towed to a shop?? No thanks! LOL

I'm digging the rims, very utilitarian. But I think whoever did the rendering needs to make it a 6 bolt lug pattern.

You know what. I think I’d love to have this! But would the skylights matter since the roll bars would probably block it?

Sorry if reposted.

Like the top, but unless the roll bars are functional (mounted to the frame) like they were on the original D90, D110 and D130 defenders I don't really see the point of having them.

The more I think about it... the more I realize once you add this top to the bronco it looks more like a proper Defender than the current iteration does (likely more capability too!)

As for easy removal... A hard top is only truly ever easy with two people or a home made hoist.
I have no concerns.

Hand winch, some pulleys, good stud locations and soft straps, this puppy would come off pretty easy

I've had my Defender since early September. No issues. How're those 2.7's working out? ;)

Just kidding, of course.

On-topic, I like this top. I wasn't trying to get a Bronco for the removable top, so something like this would have been great. With the dogs in the Defender, we refer to those smaller top windows as "snout portals". 😁 Now, if we can just get Ford to lux up the interior a bit more and add in all the fancy tech features I like, I can trade back for the Bronco that I would have waited until this week to get (let the dealer have it).

This is what ADV should offer, differentiated from the OEM MIC top. I’d buy this in a heartbeat.
