Solo 2 Door Hardtop Removal + BroncoBimini Review

[chris.bronc]

First time attempting the hardtop removal alone and honestly it wasn't as bad as some have made it out to be. Having a table to dump it directly onto is key.

Will update on the process of getting it back on alone (I don't have high hopes). Credit to @NorthShoreBronco for the technique inspiration




All that to put on my new bimini from @djp. Getting the canvas tensioned all the way took some first-time tweaking, but now that it's done it's dead silent up to 60mph. Past 70mph I've gotten some noise but nowhere near the flapping I've heard from other biminis. Thrilled with the result. Plus, now my hair doesn't whip me in the eyes when I drive. Win win!

Haha, glad I could inspire someone else to do something dumb .

I recommend not trying to put it back on by yourself.... But having said that,, the key is to be able to have your arms extended before you lift, because you won't be able to extend and balance the top at the same time. Good luck!

There's a fine line between dumb and innovative!

Yea, I am thinking of getting a taller table to move it to before reinstalling. I think it'll be doable, just a pain in the ass getting the guide pins back in place.

I bet removing the guide pins would help with the solo remove and install.

Hey I took my cap off my 2 door last week. Quick question the 2 longer screws go up top correct? I zipped them all loose with my impact, and never noticed 2 were longer until I was picking them all up.

I am way too out of shape to do that ! Good on you though!

If they go all the way in then yes! To be honest I always forget and get into exactly your position.

If I can pack a 45lb bag 20 miles on my back I sure as hell better be able to handle 80lb for 10 seconds!
