ADV AND Anderson customers still waiting...but they got their money. (yes I'm a little bitter at this point that I've been waiting for an item I was told was 12-16 weeks out and I'm at 9 months...)
Sounds like hater to me
There are advantages to not having a removable mid section. Better rigidity, less squeaks and rattles. If you want it however I believe the Anderson has three removable panels like the OEM.
I'd just cover it with some kind of wrap material in similar color to the top.
I agree you can't beat a soft top for the open air experience. That said the single piece Targa design is not a miss. You got folks who want no removable panels (like ADV offers) and you got folks who want three removable panels. The single removable panel design is a great compromise. I don't think a lot of us are hung up on the ability to carry it in the vehicle, and folding the rear seats works for me. For me the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If I can't go topless because the trunk is full of gear, big deal! I'll wait until I can leave the top at the camp site.
I'm sure TOR and others will be coming out with options for this top. We already know the rail mounting locations are OEM compatible.
Sounds like you’re going to need some extra shine for your fender flares to match.Sounds like hater to me
Any chance we can get a pic of the top and see how the much coverage the front panel has? I’m curious if you get more than just the driver row when this panel is removed - thanks and great review.Today 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.
More of the rug for your viewing pleasure.

Hooked up, 4 mounting points.

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
Supposedly it is just the product they put on pre-delivery to clean and shine it up. After a washing or two should mellow out if not completely disappear. Our just wipe everything down with the same juice.
Good grief! The fender is picking up reflection from the body. Nobody said they match, he said its a better match than OEM. No top is going to be a perfect match -- and I'm sure most don't want it to be. The fenders are a soft plastic, the top is composite. I for one am very happy with the color of the top.Sounds like you’re going to need some extra shine for your fender flares to match.
ETA: Or maybe I’m wrong and OP will post some full vehicle photos in the sun.
I’m happy that TOR made a top and that people are happy with it. I don’t mean to nitpick in a negative way, ADV just for the most part nailed all my wants aside from speed of development lol. I still have my single panel storage bags which will work with the ADV and love removable front sections. But hate large removable sections like OEM middle piece and the TOR single section. If they were still the 2 front pieces that might have been enough to flip me. I have a top lift that will remove the back 2/3 fine and take my top on and off relatively often. Idk if I’ll ever even put anything on those mount points but it was a smart modification.
They are made down in Mexico. Seems fitting they have to travel through Baja before they get on your Bronco to travel back down Baja... LOL
