What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

[HolidayDog]

I went on my first trail ride with all these other guys and gals.
They were nice enough folks.
8 Jeeps, 2 Nissans, 1 Hummer, 1 Bronco to represent!

We had a poker rally, made it into Glacier NP, and a pot luck meal to finish the day. Awesome 4x4 club. My dog loved it!

Added classic style stripes to my Heritage edition and script emblems.

Looks good. Also like the FP recovery points.

Added mountains2metal attic shelf.

Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, Amazon

Yeah I'm not sure. That was at the glass shop that replaced my windshield. Lol

Product must be flying out the door at Mountains2Metal. I too installed their attic shelf. It holds all my recover gear. I like it a lot.

I wasn’t really sure if I’d use a tailgate table enough - and most are expensive - but I found one that was a decent price and decided to take a chance. I wanted the two levels because we take food to fires and other long calls for our department and wanted one level for the condiments and one level to make the sandwiches (etc) on. Happy with how it turned out! And that it was different than pictured on the website in that it has the “since 1966” on it. Was alright to put together, just lots of parts, and thankful I have petite fingers for some of the portions haha

Less than $150 and seems sturdy….well I will make the disclaimer that one of the cords for the upper shelf is too short (I swear they were the same before I put it together...lol) so I’m going to see if they’ll send me a new cord, but I don’t plan on putting anything heavy up there and it seems ok. It is kind of heavy but looking at others it seemed like a similar weight, hopefully it will be ok, seems so.

Oh, and the supplied Allen wrench does a surprisingly good job, though I'd seriously recommend having a set of handy dandy pliers and a 10mm torx wrench with you for successful completion if you want to maintain your sanity (and I need all the help I can get here haha)

Link if anyone's interested, and right now it's cheaper than when I bought it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BG5FJ418?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Looks great. Curious on the wind turbulence with the top down. Any extra noise? Guessing a net will be needed for your gear. How much of a hassle is the extra step to drop the soft top.

Wow, I like that attic shelf. My problem is having the 21, I do not have the holes, and I am wondering just how hard it would be to add them. It would be a great place to store the recovery ropes and such, and my jumper cables.

Another consideration, I will have my Slant back hardtop soon, so I wonder if the angle of that top will affect this shelf placement...

Had to cover the spare tire to keep Mrs. Carolina Wren from building her nest inside. I probably have to buy a real tire cover.

Took the roof rack off for the summer….after lugging home some 8ft PVC trim material. Much quieter!

I haven’t driven with the top down since the install. Getting the top down is a bit of struggle. You have to lower the shelf and then carefully manipulate the canvas folds around the struts that hold the shelf up. Installation instructions detail that process. One of the top bows gets very close to the struts as it folds down. We don’t put the top down much and have a hardtop on order. The reason the top is down at all is because my Bimini top covered the bolt holes on the roll bar used to secure the pivot brackets.

Re: securing gear, I did that with 36” long zip ties. Wanted to make certain everything stays put in case of a head-on or rollover crash. Yes, I have to cut the zip ties if I need something, but in almost two years I haven’t had to break out the recovery gear yet. That’s why it’s up in that location.

It’s surprising how much stuff will go into the space w/o touching the top. We travel with pets, so space is valuable. I’m very happy with this prodcut.

Final piece of the puzzle..........fuel tank skid:

Do you think that my ext would cause clearance issues with the M2M drop down shelf and need to be relocated?
