Not to mention that without the "diving board" on the Bronco clamshell, it will be a lot less cumbersome and a lot safer to store than the JK top.looks like 95 lb on the 4 dr JK, vs 68 for the Bronco. Yeah, I have alot more options for storage during the summer..
Have you seen any published data and/or pictures on the size of the gunner's hatch on the 2-Door MOD top? I've mainly been going off of this picture for reference but I didn't realize it was inaccurate.For visual reference:
(ignore the size of that gunners hatch, it’s inaccurate)
This was probably THE biggest selling point for me of the Bronco. Next to the 2.7.70lbs on that rear cap? Shittttt. I’ll be able to pop that off all by myself.
getting it from the alleyway, over the fence and into storage may be a different story...
No measurements. When this drawing came out some insiders stated it was inaccurate based on everything they had seen... but we still haven't actually been able to crawl around a Mod top... and it seems like they are still finalizing its design in general.Have you seen any published data and/or pictures on the size of the gunner's hatch on the 2-Door MOD top?

Yeah while the weight isn't awful I have no doubts I'd either wreck myself, my back or the whole rear section if I tried to take it off myself. Most likely just going to resort to help from friends when the time comes.Still worth while to do - maybe not a motorized winch but some sort of pulley system.
Most adult men (especially those who workout) should EASILY be able to lift 70-80lb, however, the size and shape of the object is what makes it difficult. I am 90% positive I will not be able to bear hug the rear cap and then just casually and with great care, set the top down with out smashing it into shit.
How in the hell is the rear section lighter than a bag of quikcrete. That’s absurd.
I had the same idea when I first started really reading up on the new Bronco back in 2019/2020, but then I heard about the Top Lift Pro lift system. I'll buy one of those first so I can ditch the top on Day One with the Bronco.My neighbor just got a 4D 2021 Rubicon and told me the removable top is over 120lbs. He installed a winch system in the ceiling of his garage so he could remove it.
As a misanthrope myself I hate to say this... but... even if you could lift it yourself, it helps to have a friend just because of the shape and size.I can’t even deadlift 12lbs let alone 13.45 how am I supposed to do this by myself?
I guess I have to start up cross-fit again...Courtesy Bronco Nation.
My thoughts exactly. Also - the rear cap should be small enough for one person. Not as awkward as the Jeep with the cap and rear passenger being together as one.70lbs on that rear cap? Shittttt. I’ll be able to pop that off all by myself.

I was talking about the front panels, not the total count.4 door is 4 pieces vs 2 door being 3
