You can take about 90% of any modern vehicle apart with a 10, 13 and 15mm socket?.

Also, I know I read somewhere that a tool kit will be included and include everything needed for doors an tops.

The factory set that came with my Wrangler, as posted above, seemed to be of very good quality.
It was 2 bolts for each door and 1 connector and the door was off. There was even a holder for the bolts in the cargo area, so you didn't misplace them.
Yes I agree, that Jeep set looked pretty good. Would be cool if the Bronc had a similar set.

Yeah, I’m assuming whatever needed will be supplied.

Not that many carry around an allan wrench, but I hope it’s at least some type of security bit. With as light and easy to remove as they are reported to be, I don’t want someone walking off with a door because they have a screwdriver in their pocketknife.
Maybe I’m weird but I have two sets of Allen keys with other basic tools in my trunk ?

I'm hoping that they are like a Jeep where you take the nuts off the bottom of the bolts and just leave them off. And not have to use the tools every time.
I'd love to see pics/video of taking off the doors where you can see how the door connects to the frame.

The "engineer" at Celebration East stated that the torx tool will come with the Bronco for door removal. We asked to demonstrate the door removal, but he did not want to risk damaging the paint on his show vehicle (he said removing the door is as simple as removing the bolt with the supplied tool, pinching the wiring harness and lifting the door off (there is an unseen lift handle on the bottom of the door)). Also, a side note, the paint on the Overlander was fantastic -- not the typical Ford orange peel. I am hoping they got their painting down to a science rather than the Overalnder being a special show car paint application -- dare to dream.

I may have missed it but do the doors on the bronco swing free like a older wrangler or will they stay open like most modern cars?
I know they have stops to keep them from swinging open to far.

Remember guys, ford is trying to compete with Jeep here, so it better be atleast as functional as their product. Jeep not only has an onboard tool kit, but they also have built in storage for the hardware after its removed. So hopefully the Bronco has the same thing. Also, on the Ford Bronco instagram page, they are only following 10 people/companies, one of which is Leatherman. My bet is that they are making the onboard toolkit.

Precisely what I was thinking - but keep in mind they had a show car paint job — really nice — not the standard Ford orange peel option.
