Those roof panels are super light and easy to remove. I do however recommend rolling your windows down just in case you hit them with the panels. Great videos BTW

Great job! Yea.... it was dumb of me to do... I need to build some sort of rack to put it on so I don't need to bend down. It's not heavy, just awkward.

@@NorthShoreOverland If you can build one cheaper than the $750-$1000 ones they make that would be the way to go. I don't have the tools to build one. I'm highly considering buying this one I saw for $750. Either that or the way cheaper one that installs on your garage ceiling and hoists it up with pulleys. I think those are around $300 or less.

Thanks brother, I'm just over 6' 230 lbs this gave me a whole lot of confidence of trying this on my own. But I still plan on getting a pulley lift system hooked up to the ceiling in my garage. Haven't gotten my Bronco yet, just got my scheduled for production date from Ford, so I still got some time to prepare my garage. This just gave me some confidence to try this on myself. Thanks big time 👍

@@christopherlorenzo5842 yeah, I wrote that a few weeks ago. But I finally decided based on all the positive reviews the RollNJack around $700 for my Bronco that I have yet to receive 🫤. It was pretty easy putting together, sturdy enough. But what clinched my decision was the turning crank over some of the other products like the toplift pro that doesn't have it. The RollNJack is more precise when raising & lowering I think. Storing I feel is a little easier too. Good luck.

@figmojustfigmo3820 Ай бұрын
If you have a factory roof rack, “YES” you can remove the front panels without removing the rack. But it’s tight and there is a trick… Unlatch them, lift just enough to slide them rearward about 3 inches, then close the front latches so they are not hanging down. You can then slide them out from under the rack.

That is because those two bolts on top did not exist on the early version of the 2 door MIC top! They have only added that bracket in the newer (also known as 2.0) version of the 2 door top. Presumably, to help prevent some of the rattle problems that some early owners had.

Great video. Unfortunately, the Bronco is nearly impossible to get for many long time reservation holders. Ford's dealer allocation formula for 2022 prioritizes large volume dealers over customer reservations. Ford has all but abandoned their commitment to deliver reservations before dealer stock. For customers that reserved at smaller dealers who have fully embraced the Bronco, it will take years for them to get a delivery.
