Does anyone have any hands on experience with the new style they just released?

Interested as well. Looks much more compact. Thinking about grabbing one.

Did anyone buy one yet?

Just received it, but still too cold here to give it a try. Haven't even assembled it yet.

The new venture pro version?

Yes.

No surprise, but doesn’t work on the 2 door Bronco.

I received mine today. I have not assembled it yet but I can say that initial impressions are not good. The “storage boxes” are garbage. A styrofoam cooler is stronger than these things. The larger box has a metal ring around it that isn’t even attached and it’s already destroyed from shipping. There’s absolutely no way these would hold up and to any actual use.

I’m really disappointed about the storage boxes, that was a big selling point for me. Even if they ship out new boxes to replace the damaged ones, they’re just not sturdy. This is a heavy lift, lightweight styrofoam isn’t going to do it.

There’s also no assembly instructions but I’m sure I can figure it out.

I’ve reached out to the company to see what they have to say about the boxes. I’ll update when I hear back.

What storage boxes are you referring to?

Thanks for the feedback. Trying to decide to go with the new version vs the original style.

I've been wondering if they were compatible with a Bronco that has the Ford/Tuffy Security Enclosure covering the rear cargo area. The regular TL Pro doesn't work with it as the ratchet arms go down too low but this one looks like it might have potential.

I have the 'Deluxe' enclosure version that sits a little taller than the standard version. From my measurements if the arms of the Venture are less than 12in tall then there's potential here. Still not sure I want another big gadget taking up space in the garage, but would be a nice alternative to my DIY cam strap system for quicker/safer top removal.

I'm still waiting for the 2dr pre order which expect May delivery. I rather get one mad for my model and bronco over this venture pro version that fits jeep broncos all.

The “heavy duty travel trays” they advertise.

I only see 1 tray and it looks pretty solid to me
