[New Product Launch] Broaddict Overhead MOLLE Panel System—Your Bronco’s Most Useful Space May Be Over Your Head

Oddly, I checked their website and no installation instructions on the "Installation Guides" page.

Here’s the installation video for the Broaddict Overhead MOLLE Panel System:

I would have suggested having it capable of mounting a Starlink Mini on it, but from the photos, it doesn’t look wide enough or low enough to clear the roof with one.

That’s a good point. The current panel is mainly intended for MOLLE pouches, radios, cameras, lights, and other compact accessories. We’ll pass the Starlink Mini request to our product team, though—it would be a useful option for campers and overlanders if the mounting area and roof clearance can be worked out safely.

Thanks for the practical suggestion.

Adding the USB ports is genius and something no other product has. How do they connect to power?

Nice MOLLE panel design. I like the added USB ports and light.

BTW, in the product images, the side brackets are labeled as “LF” and “LR” with arrows pointing forward. Should that be “LF” and “RF” for “Left Front” and “Right Front”?

Good catch. The product image is a rendering, and those markings were intended simply to distinguish the left- and right-side brackets. We agree the abbreviations can be confusing, so we’ll make the labeling clearer in the final product images and installation guide.

Thanks for pointing it out—and we’re glad you like the USB ports and integrated lighting.

As for the Armadillo top, we have not verified that specific aftermarket setup yet, so we would rather confirm the clearance and mounting area before promising compatibility. That is a very useful fitment question, though, and we’ll pass it to the product team.

Looking at your video, this will go on in the same way the DV8 top was installed. The difference appears to be the way that the B pillar bar is attached. The BroAddict bar looks to use the same mounting structure as the Raptor B mounting, whereas the DV8 does it slightly differently.

The BroAddict product does appear to have no issue attaching to a vehicle with an Armadillo top, If BroAddict wants a definitive answer, I would have no issues testing their product on my BRaptor.

It mounts inside the cabin beneath the factory hard top and is designed not to interfere with normal hard-top use. Installation is no-drill—only the plastic B-pillar trim covers need to be removed, while the structural B-pillar braces stay in place.

A detailed step-by-step installation guide showing the mounting points, hard-top clearance, and power routing will be added to the product page shortly.

Looks like this will not work witht the Bestop Skyrider? I know the center brackets are removed when using the Skyrider and may intefer with the instillation of this. What about a bimini top?

thoughts:

1. 2 door option a must.
2. Would rather you just use the corresponding usb colored ports vs labeling, or just put it in the manual.
3. Think about adding more lights or handles. There is a need for mounts but practical applications like handles and better lighting would really put this over the top.
4. I'd also think about selling compatible mounting products or brackets.

Overall, I would focus on practical use cases. Lighting sucks in the interior, and lots of people didn't upgrade them.

Handles or options to add them would be great. Like you could look at wrapping this around and if doesn't impact airbags have entry handles included.

Also, usb on the sides would be better. Could always run the cable to the middle if needed but could also double as outlets for phones in the back if on the sides. Also hate the labeling.

Odds are most have the tops on when this is installed so think about the use case with that in mind. Like what am I mounting inside that isn't in the way of people or the view.

2d would be optimal, generally we are the ones that need to create more space.

Will it work with the Ford B pillar brace? (like the one that comes in the raptor, and the brace in the B and C brace kit for non raptors)

Is there literally a power wire unconnected hidden behind the airbag trim? If there is I just wasn't aware.

Yes—there is a factory power wire behind the trim. Once the plastic airbag trim cover is removed, you should be able to see the connection point.

Yes—there is a factory power wire behind the trim. Once the plastic airbag trim cover is removed, you should be able to see the connection point.

Not as simple as it sounds.

As iirc that wire has to be connected to another one behind the glove box and then that one has to be connected to one in the engine bay to get power.

I just never knew it was there. Are there more of them in there like 1 for each door seat? Bronco has hidden stuff and I have no reference to alot of it, I found the wiring diagram for the up fitting switches, is there a guide you know of showing others such as the “hidden connector” referenced in your video?

This vehicle just keeps getting more fun to have.

So the network is installed, but needs to be completed? Similar to the upfitters?
