Awesome find. I may need to pick this up for my JKU and soon to be Bronco...

They're an hour away from me, I wonder if they have anything planned for the 2dr?

They probably need a 2-door for fitment. Hint hint.

Although I'm not sure there will be a big enough market unless Ford releases a factory 2-door soft top. I would think it would work on top of a 2-door hard top, though.

They fit UNDER the MIC hardtop?? The soft top setup I can understand, but.... Wtf

No. Under the soft top; over the hard top.

I think this would be great for consistently sunny locations and I applaud the creativity of this solution. But only being able to use your racks with the top back would be very impractical here in Indiana. Two days ago, we had a 14% chance of rain forecasted and next thing I know we had a storm over us that dumped 3 inches of rain in 2 hours. I think I'd rather have a regular rack and go through the hassle of installing it every time I need it. That way, if I want to install it with the top up, I can. And if I want to install it with the top down, I can. Plus, I don't really like the idea of having a crossbar in the middle that breaks up the open sky experience with the top down.

FYI - Exposed racks for Bronco are now available.
