I bought a '96 xlt about 2 months ago and was recently told that the last generation broncos didn't have removable tops. Is this correct? I assumed all the full-size ones had them. my '79 did for sure.

Correct-o-mundo. All Bronco's tops come off.

 

There is a 78 running around here with the pickup back on it. Cool. Looks like a 78 UNI.

 

The reason some say no is the presents of the third brake light in the shell. Most of us ignor that issue. Have never been questioned about it. I have thought about adding a third light from a Jeep or some such, but it is not important enough to me to get to.

 

OK. Thanks guys. I jumped in the back and looked at it more closely. It does appear to indeed come off, though I didn't try it. Phew.. for a moment I thought I was doomed... its one of the coolest aspects about broncos :P

 

also they have the seatbelts attached to the top for the back seat dont they? thats what i heard some people using as a reason for it not being removable

 

True, true I have mine set up for lap belts like my 81 had. As soon as I can get a roll "bar" built it will have a sholder belt spot much like a Jeep.

 

more details on the buy, is it 2wd or4?

 

its a bronco man, 4x4, nothin but

 

3broncocrazy when is the last time you saw a 2wd full size Bronco???

 

also like to know the first time for that matter

 

One of mine, only 2 wheels pull, it has an open differential

come on, can you not look at "a" bronco and know if the top is remov-able

 

Only some of us know what an open diff is. To most, a front and rear drive axle is 4x. And I never ever want to hear of anyone lowering a bronco, of any year. If you do- you deserve to be shot- there just is no excuse for this. I've seen this before. Can you do anything more retarded?

 

a lowered 4x.......it's a sin like never removing the top on a bronco
