preciselyLooks like any normal uncaged Scout (loved my Traveler back in the day):
Sure, maybe there are reps from a company or two who have early access to CAD drawings so they can design aftermarket products for the Bronco and I'm sure they didn't sign any non-disclosure agreements and want to divulge all the gory details of their new found knowledge..... on a social media forum and not through their product offerings.I dunno I think there are a bunch of smart people on here.... Who have done research and have seen the Bronco in person, the chassis, and analyzed it. I also think there are people on here with companies making accessories, that have early access to CAD and have already developed parts. For example all the parts that were on display at the Easter rally from RTR Vehicles, ARB 4x4 Accessories, and 4 Wheel Parts.
I guess you feel all the team members in those companies and the fans on this site are just idiots.
The top picture of the roll cage removed on the Bronco reminds me of my brother's International Scout years and years ago!! I would love to have the roll bars removed, but I believe too many other components rely on them, like the hard top and window seals! I thought I remember seeing that Ford had a patent for a removable roll cage, right?@Lorenzo since the Bronco roll cage is made of hardened boron steel and is part of the structure, as seen in this B-Pillar photo below, to recreate this topless photoshop model means you will loose the structural rigidity, inherent in the design, other links included from a search on the subject.
That horrendous "sport" bar and b pillar on the 2 door.

I feel the same. I find myself having to rationalize everything now around this hobby, and all the while cursing the kids with the loud exhaust.
I'm so happy for you that you know what you know!Sure, maybe there are reps from a company or two who have early access to CAD drawings so they can design aftermarket products for the Bronco and I'm sure they didn't sign any non-disclosure agreements and want to divulge all the gory details of their new found knowledge..... on a social media forum and not through their product offerings.
Assuming I buy into that, I just want to see how you're gonna identify them from all those who offer their "educated opinion".
You don't know me nor do you know what my background is.. Maybe I'm one of those who have an engineering degree and have the CAD drawings. You don't know. But here's one thing I know:
Ford would not have spent all that money to design that roll cage, add the extra weight to the Bronco design, and then incur all the cost to produce it as a part of the bronco body if it wasn't needed or add some inherent integrity to the vehicle.
I am pretty sure they didn't do it for shits and giggles.
So having said that, the only people whom I suspect may be a sandwich short of a picnic are those who plan to cut apart a $50k plus vehicle before they (or anyone) have taken delivery , and are making their plans based on soliciting input from an unknown group of enthusiasts on a social media forum.
But, hey, please... go for it. I just find it, well... .amusing and a bit comical.
I wonder if this is simply showing that the role cage is a separate set of components - vs - that it could be removed.
um, yea.
