Great adaptation of the foam idea. I need to do something like this so I don't have to keep track of the foam scraps I've been using. It's good to know a much thinner material is effective. I haven't heard any noise coming from the rear panel or anywhere else on the top.

For sure. Would love to!

It’s surprising how much room is actually back there.

Cool, thanks. I hadn’t seen that. Not for me but great to see companies creating mods for the Bronco.

I just bought one from Badass. Won’t be coming for a few weeks though. Much more reasonable price wise than the other one I’ve seen that is available, and it holds 500lbs which is more than the OEM roof rails. The gobi is going to be really nice but I’m not ready to spend over 2K on a roof rack...

Anyone else want to know more about this glass top? Not that I want one but just curious about the details.

Is oil priming even necessary on these engines? After an oil change some oil remains on parts that require it, and upon starting the engine oil begins circulating within a few seconds I would imagine. It’s a cool idea but is the primary function for clearing flooded cylinders (does this even...

Sorry to hear about your sick kid. I know how it is- trying to find time for projects like this can be difficult with a young family and I'm a bit surprised I was able to get it done myself! Looks like you started going through a similar process to what I did. I thought it was important to get...

Yeah me too… The part of the mechanism that rotates towards the inside of the vehicle is covered by an enclosure. It may be possible to drill a hole in that enclosure to access a part of the mechanism that rotates towards the inside and attach a cable, etc. I’m not feeling “adventurous” enough...

I’ll have to try tomorrow. The spring is pretty stout though (visible just to the left of the highlighted piece). I think one would need to employ some kind of mechanical advantage to actuate the mechanism but I’m sure it’s possible with the right design.

Yeah wish this was possible on the hardtop but unfortunately the gate has to be fully opened before the glass can be lifted, although one could just leave the glass open and then close the gate. Still wouldn’t be super easy to reach down while inside and pull out on the bottom of the handle to...

I was just telling a buddy yesterday that someone needs to come up with a way to open the rear gate from inside. The plastic plate on the inside comes off easily and I’m going to take a look and see if a simple pull could be rigged to the mechanism to release it.

I will definitely need to come up with a solution as well, being in Georgia with the mosquitos we have here. It’s been so warm here that the other night when I slept in the Bronco with the windows partially down I was surprised by a couple of mosquitos that made their way in. Not usually an...

Luckily it’s relatively easy to take out if I were to need to access the jack/tools. Literally takes 30 seconds to tilt it up and slide it out.

I have a feeling one might be in the works…

Great setup! Certainly is better than my setup for hauling gear securely.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I wanted to pay it forward for all the great info I’ve been able to find from other members posts on this forum and wanted to contribute something back to the community. I’m happy to hear the feedback and ideas as well- that’s one of the things that makes this...

It’s also something I’ve considered but it would make opening and closing the rear gate a bit difficult. But for getting things from point A to point B it’s certainly an option. After contemplating my storage options last night I ended up ordering one of the Badass Tents roof racks. I’ll post a...

This was also another thing I was going to recommend for those who want a longer deck but still want use of two of the rear seats. Could have two 36” sections for the 60% side and a removal longer front section for the 40% side. Could also store the longer front 40% sideways on top of the rear...

Thanks! Those pins could work but the split ring would have to be removed so the pin doesn’t protrude higher than the surface of the deck. Could potentially use a loop of thin diameter paracord through the hole to allow for easy removal. They may still have to be trimmed. Lowes/HD sells lengths...
