Would you pay more (say $500) to TOR if their logo was not on the top?
TOR specifies their top is compatible with the OEM roof rack, and Trailrax is designed to be compatible with the OEM top, so why would TOR be compatible with Trailrax and not OEM? Anyway I just had a look at the Trailrax and it looks like a nice carrier, but its expensive and some of us may prefer a more minimalist carrier.Won't work unfortunately.
The Sunrider bolts into the mounting brackets on the factory middle panel. This hard top has a completely different mounting system with different brackets in different locations.
Turn Off-road said they have plans to release accessories for their hard top, so there is a chance they’ll come out with an adapter bracket or maybe their own version of the Sunrider. But as it stands right now… no-go.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they also have some issues with aftermarket roof racks. Yes they did ensure compatibility with the more popular aftermarket racks (like Trailrax… which honestly is the only rack you’d need), but obviously it’s hard to ensure 100% compatibility with every rack out there when you’re running a different design.
I'm the same way. I don't understand why people put stickers on their vehicles for things like Yeti or RTic, etc etc. I refuse to drive around with free advertising for a dealership etc. First thing I remove and throw away are dealer plate frames, dealer stickers etc. The dealer isn't paying me to advertise for them, so why should I give it to them for free?
There’s a local dealership that puts a decal on the left AND right side of trunks / tailgates, a license plate frame, and a decal on the rear windshield.
Just baffles me people are ok driving around with 4 pieces of advertisement from the same place on their vehicles.
It should be compatible with most roof racks that mount to the hard top in a similar way to both the factory rack and Trailrax. But some roof racks mount differently, and they obviously cannot guarantee compatibility on every roof rack.
Would I pay more for a logo-less item, yes. $500 more? No. If this were the case, that a company offered an option for $500 to remove their logo from the item I purchase, I would go out of my way to remove/hide/cover their logo, and share my feedback with them.
To me the Turn logo thing seems not a big deal. Leastways it's so easy to cover if desired.
Thank you for the write up and pix!
Now THAT looks good! I'm glad someone got one, because I'm on the wait listToday is the day that Turn Offroad is making good on their promises. And boy did they deliver!
So, I went over this morning for a very straightforward process of install. Took maybe 45 minutes, got the quick rundown. Todd and crew are solid people, and truly care about the community. My first Turn purchase, and won’t be my last. Nice to have them local! Side note, make sure you go see them at KOH if you attend.
Anyways, the part you are all here for.. the hardtop. Yes, it is hard, yes, it is a top, but it’s so much more!
First impressions, the quality of fitment seems tight and edges are clean. Texture is like a rhino liner, with a sheen/gloss as we’ve seen in photos. It is a bit shinier than typical right now because of a UV protectant they spray/wipe. It really matches up well with the black trim of the Bronco, much better than the MIC color, in my opinion.
The headliner is typical auto/marine type carpet. It covers everything, which I like. Much better quality than the factory headliner. Coming from a softtop, the ambient sound has greatly reduced, naturally, but there is something else that I wasn’t quite expecting to happen. Rigidity. The ride has improved, it no longer shakes when hitting bumps or potholes. It is sturdy, the large rear piece and one piece front has really tightened it all up. Some people may have thought about this before when looking at one piece tops, I never really considered the fact it would improve my ride quality, but it’s certainly a nice bonus!
Took a few quick pics. Let me know if you want any more details or photos!! As of now, absolutely worth the money. And lifetime warranty, giving me peace of mind as an early adopter.
Tight seams around window/trim
Rear side window and hardware(badge can be peeled off, there will be plenty of options to customize.)
Hooks are easy to work with, adjustable.
Clean ceiling, sound deadening is good quality and aplenty.

Another quartering in shade. The fit is tight between front and read, hard to tell it’s a 2-piece
Did I say TIGHT?!
As mentioned, carpet everywhere!
Backside of the metal mounting points for roof rack or other mods.
I like the metal hinges. They feel and look high-quality
I was just thinking that myself. Would have been a perfect opportunity to add what Ford totally missed on. I put the Mabett gutters on my partners Bronco but they look kind of silly where the gutter goes around the window pillar. Not incorporating them into these new hard tops is such a huge miss in my opinion.
You and me and everyone else that ordered. I know they are making sure it's right, but it is getting beyond frustrating at this time. I'm in batch one. Got the pump up video I'd get delivery in mid-January. I follow up only to be told now early February. If anything, they need to do better with communication.
I wouldn’t pay 500 more for logo removal. I’d would be removing it and repainting the top anyways. Top looks great. Just don’t care for the coarse texture.
