I’m glad it was helpful. Unfortunately, I added a roof rack to my build and never reinstalled the Bestop. BUT, there is someone in the comments that just reversed the order of this video and said it worked perfectly (before starting, double check the comments in case I’m mistaken) Good luck! If I ever reinstall the Bestop, I’ll be sure to make a video and I’ll remember to tag you on it. Have a nice convertible-summer! 😎

Hmm,.. you might be right, but it was rented as a Veloce, and I did a bit of digging to confirm and I recall that what I found indicated it was a veloce. 🤔

It’s not ideal but it’s not necessarily bad. The floor is rubberized and there’s a drain plug and the seats are covered in a marine grade interior. So, in this situation, all was good! 👍

For me, this rack is for when you want to go specifically somewhere for a ride. Nice and easy. …Hopefully, when you get back from your ride the rack is still on your car. 😅

Even more so, when he’s Canadian! 🇨🇦🇬🇧😊

Thank you. I still love the look of how the lights hung low on the RTR bar but I wanted a rack too and I’ve always wanted an ‘off-roader’ with big round lights since I was a kid. 😆

Have you ordered? If you did, congratulations! If you haven’t and it works within your budget, I’m sure you won’t regret it!

@@neverendingweekend I'm getting ready to order in a few months, I have 2 bronco sports and soon time to retire the 2021.

Thanks! This took so long to put together, I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😅

@@neverendingweekend I bet, excellent editing!

The bronco? Not a ton. There are a few videos on my channel including one where I take a close look at the trail damage. As an off-road rookie, the bronco takes the brunt of the abuse from my lack of experience. 😅

What’s the m2m? If it’s for the traction board,.. you might want to wait for my mod review video. The short of it is: the running board sits too low and impedes departure angle. But if it’s for a gas tank… 👍

@@neverendingweekend ill keep that in mind and measure twice but I'm a little concerned about adding dynamic/fluid weight onto the hinge and having it move around on the trail. Figured the boards would be lighter. M2m: mountains to metal

Really!? You mean, try it backwards or I’m using it backwards from the way it’s designed?

I saw a different cabeau after making this video (I added the link in the description). I wish I tried it because it has a strap for your chin. Looks promising. 🤔

Interesting! No, I didn’t try that. .. but the more I think about it the more I wish I had. I have a feeling it wouldn’t have fit that way though. But that’s just a guess.

I agree on all points. Hopefully Ford will do you right with the hardtop! You reminded me about my biggest pet peeve and I left it out the video, the HONK when you exit the car running with the key in your pocket! 😖

Would’ve been better if I remembered to bring that travel pillow. 🤦‍♂️

😢

Glad it helped you! I also have a video of my installation. But, mine went way less smooth than yours 😅

😂😅

And that ford won’t make it anywhere near 300k

Thanks Steve, for the insightful comment. I’m not ecstatic about the b&o,.. but I am content. Lane assist isn’t bad in itself, though I’d never use it, my disappointment is in Ford’s decision to leave out lane centering (Blue Cruise). I’d love that feature in the Bronco. It’s like Apple CarPlay. Not huge in the overall scheme, but makes things so much more enjoyable. I have a relocation bracket for my front sensor but it doesn’t work well enough to trust it. I’ve heard other similar reviews about other brackets too. I can’t speak to the factory soft top as I have the Bestop. It flaps on the highway like you wouldn’t believe. I guess, depending on how fast you’re going … which might be a hint at my bad fuel economy. 🤔😅 I was a day one reservist. I was about to buy a rubicon, then they announced the bronco and a quick (sarcastic) 2.5 years later… 💪😂👍

Thanks, brother!

“Finished him!” 😅

😂

Round 3! 😅

Thank you, sir. Hopefully it helped!

You win a 🏆! I try and speak as fast as I can. 😅

This is a 2 bike version! 💪 The link is in the description if you want. Good luck!

Wow. Great mileage. Most of my driving is in city. Also, I have a heavy foot. 🤷‍♂️ whatever the case, my mileage is not so good.

Oh. Interesting. Because of the race tire compound? Good to know. 👍

They need the cheap plastic so they can up-charge on the higher trim models. 😅

Same thing with Jeep everything is plastic so aftermarket survives?

@@dannycardin8966 Jeep has become trash too.

Nice. Great mileage. Why’d you swap broncos? I like the 2 door badlands too. 😁

@@neverendingweekend I initially ordered a two door in January 2021 but after waiting over a year and not hearing anything my salesman suggested I change my order to a four door. It arrived November 2022. I told my salesman to order me a two door and it arrived last September. Finally got what I wanted 😎

It’s me legs,.. they’re too short! I’m going to post a video soon about how to… ‘solve’ that. 😅

Just: Good people. ❤️

You’re are probably right. But presented with the ‘bigger/better’ thing, and my human nature takes over. 🤦‍♂️ I’d probably regret my decision if I ever got to drive a manual Bronco. I just have to make sure I never do that. 😅

It sounds good. But it is loud. especially when you put your foot into it. 😬😅

Still, after this much time has passed, it’s the best rack out there. I’ve seen some knock offs that are priced a bit lower but who knows about the longevity. Congrats on the new rack! 🍻

I have an install video from when I first put it on. You’d skip a lot of the initial steps since it was on already. Should be a lot easier. (My install took a long time but mostly because of my particular issues 😅). I’ve never put it back on because I installed a roof rack. 🤷‍♂️ but I still have the top.. don’t be nervous! 👍(make sure you still have all the bits and pieces and screws etc)

@@neverendingweekend thanks! Keep making videos! I love your honesty and sense of humor! I took me HOURS to install it the first time so I'm hoping its a LOT easier!

@@crystaltaylor2923 Do you put it back on? How long? Easy or hard?

​@@jeffreymaddox8286I did, it wasn't hard bc I taped all the screws where they belonged when I took it off, however, the dam thing leaks now and I can't figure out why! I feel like I installed it right and it latches fine so I'm at a total loss!

Did you use the manual or watch a video? The leak sounds frustrating! Think some of the foam came off and created space for water?

Thanks, friend! Glad you liked it. 🥹

Definitely similar lines from certain angles. The scout is another classic. Did you hear? Apparently, they’re brining it back. 👏

I love the 4Runner. If the bronco didn’t have a removable top, I’d probably have bought the Toyota. I’m terms of reliability, i guess calling a Ford ‘junk’ vs a Toyota is fair. 😅 In terms of ‘eating and spitting it out’… depends on the scenario. If it’s off-road. I doubt it. Wheel travel, clearance, approach/departure/breakover angles, etc, suggest otherwise. 🤔

Sooo the 4Runner is dated still has a 5 speed underpowered v6. With the squatch package the bronco eats the 4 runner in a straight line. Also the bronco is on a truck frame and weights 6200 pounds the 4 runner weights 4800 pounds. Bronco is a more solid vehicle

@@neverendingweekend anyone can detune an engine to make it last longer and equip with decade old technology that never breaks, but never really works well… and Toyota is the best at that! lol 🐴🐴🥌

No, .. thank you. 😁

If you watch any of my latest videos you'll notice that I installed a roof rack that ties into the window frame attachment points. It makes it way harder to do a roof swap. But even if I didn’t do that, it’s so cumbersome to put on that soft top. If you’re one of those people who likes doing those types of things,.. you’d probably swap it out every year. It’s fun having a soft top. And the hard top is just so much better (especially wind noise). But if you’re lazy, like me 😅, you’ll probably end up with using just one top. 🤷‍♂️

I suspect that the window module software update won't get done just by asking. Unless you have a very friendly service department (which I don't). Or you know someone with FDRS.

Yup. @swooshdave is correct. ‘It’s not a bug. It’s a new feature’. In other words, they aren’t fixing anything that was ‘broken’. It’s just part of the new software. So, they need to be knowledgeable or willing to do some work and be friendly. Good luck. 😅

Thanks @swooshdave. Yeah, if it wasn’t just me driving by myself most of the time, I’d get a 4 door as well just for the storage space. Moving stuff is … not fun. We have ‘lane keep assist’ (warning when you veer off in your lane) but we don’t have ‘lane centering’ (keep your car actively in lane, through turns and straights. Essentially autonomous driving). Ford has ‘BlueCruise’ but whatever wisdom they decided to keep it out of the Bronco. The Bronco Sport may have it. 🤔 tThere are a few things I mentally considered to add ‘oomph’ 😜, but decided I don’t need it in the bronco. Good one about the price increase. I didn’t really research that part. 😔 Thanks for watching and the suggestions!

@@neverendingweekend Yes, lane keep assist. But not the autonomous driving (or even steering). Sport mode makes you realize that the Bronco actually has 330hp. Before I was starting to wonder.

It’s awesome and, oh-so unique. …but are you commenting on the wrong video? 🤔

Thanks! Since the clamps that hold the bike rotate, it will work. The bike will just be at an angle. 👍

😅 that was not the smoothest install.🥸 To reach that particular area, going from under is so much easier!

Never tried with the coupler installed. It MIGHT. I THINK I remember the air compressor coming with a shipping stopper that plugs in the hole where you screw in the coupler. I can’t remember how tight it fit or how robust it was but it might come in handy .. so don’t throw it away (if it actually comes with it. 😅). (To use it to plug that hole while driving around)

So glad you think the wind adds to the ambiance. 😅 The Caterham is the perfect car to hire/rent. ‘I love to visit, but wouldn’t want to live there’ 😉

@@neverendingweekend there's a few places you can rent them here (Scotland) hoping to have some fun in the windy roads but I'll be avoiding the pot holes at all costs.
