11,000 miles on MT Baja Boss installed by Discount Tire in Mesa, AZ.
No more flats off road! The stock tires were terrible for getting holes punched in them.
I don't have links. The sliders allowed the assembly to extend and lock into place fully extended, but the lock still wouldn't allow easy access to the jack. To allow easy access, you unlock the assembly, like you're going to fully remove it from the sliders, slide an addition 3 inches or so...
Dayum! That's a helluva cool overlanding build. Terrific work on that! I'd love to see a photo of your battery solution under the floor. Your rig is about as clean and functional as any I've seen. Well done!
I'm a EE, so the electrical stuff is easy to do, but I can't help but think the...
Happy to help out a fellow Bronco owner. I'm around this week and can show it to you. Bring a camera and tape measure! I suspect you'll be able to learn a lot about how to build yours, and I'd be happy to share a few lessons learned as we went through the process. :)
He might if you're willing to bring it to his shop in Prescott where he can take measurements and look at it. Does the 2 door have the lower floor in the back like the 4 door? It it the same height?
He didn't make formal plans. He took a bunch of measurements, then made a few wood jigs for shapes, like the contours of the back side of the cargo area. He made two at the same time for me and another buddy that owns a Black Diamond. We brought our Broncos over to his shop, with an ice chest...
I'll check in with him to see if he wants to make more. He makes high end cabinets for homes and is quite busy, so I'm not sure he wants the distraction of this, and I doubt they'd be inexpensive to make. Just the sliders alone are quite pricey. He laminates the side anchor wood blocks to be...
The side panels are really terrific. Super beefy. I'm confident that I could carry two 4 gallon stacked Rotopax on each side if I needed. I don't recall having the ability to slide that front fairing up and down. It bolted into a fixed spot. But maybe I missed that? I don't have a lot of...
Now a battery system in that lower storage is an amazing idea! I carry around a 700W portable power station to power the fridge. I have a solar panel that mounts to the roof rack that recharges the battery as it's powering the fridge. I can go like this indefinitely as long as I get good sun...
It's all about how you arrange the beer in the ice chest. IPA's on top, necks sticking out of the ice just waiting to quench the thirst. Coors Light on the bottom to slow down the affects before any serious mistakes get made with the big saw :)
As far as I know, the Goose Gear drawers are too tall to have a level floor when you fold the seat down. I would have preferred an off the shelf solution, but I haven't seen it yet. The Diabolical storage shelf is close.
And talk about waiting!? I waited 3 years and two weeks to finally...
Unfortunately, I don't have a link and I don't know too much about them. There are the sliders for the drawer, which are pretty basic and probably super easy to get, and then the heavy duty sliders for the whole assembly. They can hold 300 pounds extended and can super extend so the entire...
Maybe so. He's pretty busy building custom cabinets for homes. A buddy of mine and I bought Broncos at the same time so we talked him into making two of these at the same time. My guess is that he'd probably need to charge a couple grand for each one with the costs of the high end wood, the...
I missed your original point, but yes, you need either the RCI half or RCI full roof rack to mount the molles on the side in this case. If you only wanted the side molles I'd look at the half rack option.
The RCI roof rack has an option to include their molle panels on each side. There are connection points on the roof rack and a thin bracket that mounts between the body and roof. You need to remove the roof to install those brackets. Once installed, the side molles bolt between the roof rack...
I struggled with this exact question for a while with my Rubicon. At some point I realized that the visibility out the furtherest rear windows was pretty crappy anyway with the roll bar and all of the gear that I tended to carry on a trip, so I didn't even think twice on the Bronco about the...
My experience with the RCI Rack has been great. I held off buying when they had that roof sag issue and waited to buy until they had the brace fix. It went together very smoothly and the install was pretty easy. I don't take the roof compartments off much at all, so I liked the RCI rack...
