I found this hard top on Instagram and haven’t seen much talk about it yet since they are so new, but am curious what everyone thinks! Here’s some pictures I’ve found and all the info I could gather:

- All aluminum slant/ square hard top starting at $4,895 (so no cracking?)
- A bunch of accessories and add ons: MOLLE inside and out, raketdesigns rooftop, wiper, defroster, interior liner, etc
- rear gullwing doors accessible from the outside
- the hard top stays on the truck, but there’s 3 panels on the roof that come off and can be stored in the back, so taking the roof off seems easier (then the gullwing doors and rear window come off too)
- Black, white, and brushed aluminum (for custom colors presumably)
- shipped to your house if you want

I emailed them and asked them a bunch more questions, and it seems like a pretty viable options!

I think people fuss how pricey the current aftermarket tops are.. This thing is going to be really expensive

This truck was my neighbor up in Moab at Bronco Safari. A very interesting, well made top

If you like the hideous slant top you can get an ugly jeep much cheaper and quicker.

They have yet to ship orders from Feb 2022. I’ve not heard of anyone who had received one.

Alum. is nice, but Jeep has made a composite top for years without issues. Ford needs to get their issues fixed and then replace any tops that have or crack in the future. Don't care for the slat back or the back side doors. Alum. also has noise issues. Price is better then the other composite tops I've seen. Need to pass on this one. Thanks for posting.

From what I’ve read, more like 8-12 months back order.

I didn't see it but as the song goes it's hip to be square.

Meh! I like the rear window gullwings. Easy access to accessories/cargo.

thanks for posting the info about it! Kept seeing the Bronco on the trails in Moab, and it was eye-catching, for sure, since it's so different from the other aftermarket tops right now.

Here’s the video of the rollover for anyone that haven’t seen it. A perfect 10/10 landing!

Poor Tyler has had some practice at that landing. But he is having more fun in a Bronco than most could dream of.
