Well two options that allow this do exist (Gobi, Raket), they just don’t fit my ”needs”. What I may consider doing is picking one that’s reasonably self contained structurally like a Mesa or Frontrunner and fabricate a way to quick disconnect the front and pivot similar to the Gobi. Honestly, it might be possible to just pivot one front Corner up high enough to allow room to dislodge the corresponding side of the targa, then slide the targa over and rotate it out. That’s all speculative though. Ultimately this is a fine example of a first world problem lol. I was even considering saying screw it and just install the Trailrax and live with not removing the Targa. Without a practical way to store it somewhere spontaneously it becomes a moot point. The one time I tried to put the seat down and position it on one of the side edges against some cargo, it got all dinged up during a short drive, despite wrapping it in a blanket. At the size it is, removing it is relatively pointless in all but limited situations. I’d put this in the box of things you miss after they’re gone. The whole experience makes me appreciate the modularity of the MIC design. So currently, pluses for TOR on perceived durability and in my opinion styling, but the MIC takes practical design, and oddly aftermarket support. At least for my use case.That is a bummer.
I was one of people that took a Bronco “sooner” by dropping the MIC. The soft top is terrible IMO so I would rather have a hard top that I have to take the entire top or rack off at this point.
Either way this seems like a bit of a flaw with the aftermarket tops or an opportunity for someone to engineer another rack.
