Things that are overrated...

[Lord Bronco]

I’ll take the doors off but not super-frequently, especially all four at once. But the rubber floors and MGV seats in the BD make it more doable, since I know if I am caught in rain while out I can put the soft top up and not worry about the interior.

I have no clue why anybody needs or wants a 12-inch screen for the driver since you can’t watch a movie while driving.

On the Doors - absolutely they will be taken off whenever I can. I have had three wranglers over the years and driving with the top and doors off is one of those simple pleasures in life that never gets old. And I am hoping the Bronco doors are easier to manage than the Wrangler doors because of the half door design.

On the screen - I’m indifferent. As my wife says - it’s not the size of the screen that matters it’s what you do with it!!

Oh, but size matters, I assure you! lol. I can get by with the smaller screen, tho'......lol

So, I know that many people are fond of these features and I do understand why.

BUT...

for me personally:

1. I really probably will never take the doors off. I feel that with the top removed, it gives enough of an open air feeling. I will keep the doors on for the arm rest factor, safety, and additional dust control. Just really don't see a reason for removing them.

2. I know the 12" screen is nice by those who have seen it, but I have no interest in a larger screen. Right now, I have enough screens and digital crap in my life that I am not looking to complicate it any further. I'm tired of all the digital life, cameras everywhere, etc. Just looking to keep things simple! Crank up the tunes and roll on down the road!

Anyone else in this boat?

Your number one item is like 4 wheel drive. You don't want or need it, until you want or need it.

The bigger screen comes with the front camera, which looks amazing and will be one of those things I wonder how I lived without. While the doors off mode will be a novelty and not everyday, there will definitely be a fair share of cruising rides sans doors.

I might take the doors off from time to time but the fact they don't have a frame on the top half will probably increase the open air experience even with the windows down.

The comment by the single person about needing help removing the hard top gives me another reason I’m glad I switched to the soft top. I’m not single, but it would be a cold day in hell before my wife could be bothered to help for two minutes take a top off the Bronco that she’s already sick of hearing about. Or to put it back on quickly if it rains.

12" screen = no full screen carplay
8" screen = full screen carplay

Doesn't the hard top come off in sections? Shouldn't be a problem for one person

Which is better?

The only thing I think is overrated (only because I will never use it) is the beadlock wheels.

I like the 12" screen and look forward to seeing it with trail cam mode. While I may not take the doors off often, it will be a nice option for an even more open air experience when I want to.

I am not a screen guy and if I had my Bronco my way it would not have a screen in it at all!

I like having the doors off when I can because it feels like I'm riding a bigger and more comfortable side by side. I'm not too worried about the interior getting dirty without doors since it gets dirty anyway, working and living on a farm doesn't allow me the luxury of a clean truck! On the other hand I live in Florida so my doors and top off experience will be limited with all the rainstorms which i have been caught in with a topless jeep more than once!
Maybe because I'm pretty young but the bigger screen for me is better, wish it had a screen the size of one in a Tesla

Doors off has a few applications....from just because you can in the summer to you/your passenger leaning out and peaking at your wheel placement on an obstacle

At some point the mood may strike you and you'll be able to do it even if you don't foresee using it now

I grew up with a CJ-5 and drove it in highschool. I loved it. I have had to have a vehicle I could take the top and doors off since. It's weird because I have driven without doors on a lot, and lately posts have me thinking it's illegal or something. Never been pulled over for it. The screen remains to be seen. My wife really wanted it -I think I'll learn to appreciate it. The front "sta-bar" disconnect is a nicer feature than lots of people give it credit for. Besides helping balance your rig on off camber situations, it is really nice to use when going over washboard roads, or exceedingly bumpy terrain, like rocky banks. If you have it, go off road and try it, you will use it and be glad you got it.
