I'm probably gonna take the top of the Bronco this coming spring - more of a curiosity thing than a concern since I expect I'll take it off either way - what should I expect on gas mileage?

The lesser weight should help (been told these things weigh in at approx. 120 lbs). The aerodynamics could go either way...any ideas?

 

you are going to look so cool, your gas milage wont matter

 

I think they weigh about 100lbs, and these rigs are so unaero anyway it doesn't really matter.

Lots of fun drivin with no topper, cept when it starts to rain.

Remember this as well...

Goin topless in a Bronco is NOT indecent exposure

I learned this lesson Sophomore year of high school, except in a '67 Mustang Convertible

So in other words, takin the top off won't make a lick of difference one way or the other...works for me. Thanks guys!

 

Also, be careful in how you store your topper. Don't stand it up, or twist/rack it. Place it on two or three 2x4s on a level spot.

if its a nice looking bronco it will look awsome with out a top, i seen one that was black, jacked up with big tires and real nice seat covers and had a beautiful crome spoiler (it was a little weird bein on a jacked up bronco but looked really nice)

 

Careful? Wouldn't store it any other way

I like to think my Bronco's nice looking for a stocker. I put up a gallery if you want to see it.
