Race Red + Bestop Tan Top combo?

[Dads_bronze_bronco]

I've never had one, so I appreciate the heads-up. My town gets a lot of snow + rain; if it was all converted to rain we meet the definition of 'rain forest'. I'd actually prefer a gloss-finish tan hard top; I don't expect that to be available right away, so I am thinking of a soft-top-bridge.

His hard top is a flat tan and it is less, but still a challenge to keep looking good (of course it is flat tan painted on a plastic top 20 years old).

Classic looking gloss white would be my choice.

But if you order dual top (i.e., both a hard and a soft top), or if you order a soft top later, get a black soft top.

If I go glam - Grabber Blue - I'll probably get the white top, grill, and hood stripe. And just wear shades

I love tan tops

Tan tops always make me think of the old Eddie Bauer edition Bronco's.... They should bring that trim back, screw this Platinum crap.

QUOTED FOR TRUTH!

Me too, I hope the aftermarket comes up with this.

Red and tan, or green and tan,
Tan top would be a great option.

I will tell you from experience (son’s Green and Tan Sahara TJ), a tan soft top shows mildew and dirt a lot. You have to clean it often with boat vinyl mildew cleaner or it doesn’t look tan.

Absolutely it does.
I had a tan soft top on my YJ, currently have a tan soft top on my Cobra. Both were a PITA to keep clean.
I love the look of tan and green, red, blue. I'd be 100% on board with rocking it myself.
I've learned a lot of detailing tricks and new products have made a huge difference since my YJ years.
And the tan top on the Cobra was already black spotted when I bought it. I've used no less than 5 different miracle cleaning products and it only looks marginally better.
If I got a tan top on a red one (which I'm not), I'd definitely keep it dressed with 303 protectant after washes.
FWIW, Good call, @Carolina Jim. I personally love the contrast.

Mine is getting a tan top, no matter what.

Painted my TJ hardtop textured sandstone outside and in, and will do the same with the Bronco.

Yes. IT is a great look. The soft top fabric is notoriously hard to keep a nice shade of tan if you neglect it even once.

And FWIW, I could use some backup in all these "can I paint my top" threads....
If you did it, you know it's entirely possible and not that hard.
The MIC is a bit different
Same horse, different breed, pun unintentional.

You might need a Clemson white and orange, haha

That would cause reasonable people to vomit when you drive by....

The thought of doing this makes me second guess ordering the sound-deadening headliner from the factory.

I can't hardly see the word 'CHROME' without thinking of that famous movie quote

So shiny, so chrome. Witness the new Bronco, definitely not mediocre.
