I tried out the sleeping platform with an overnight in the snow, it worked great! Needs cargo tie down loops. On the first bump off road my cargo made like it was in a mosh pit. Will add tie downs from the front panels to the seat base, keep things tied down over the bumps. Using the seat to...

I feel you, $25 at the local pay & spray. Defiantly pulling the fender flares made it easier. The effort to get back to showroom fresh isn't worth it to me.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was going for. The other thing I would add is fast to setup/take down. This weekend I am putting both panels in, sleep on one side and keep all my cargo on the 2nd side. I had considered doing a 60/40 split like the seats, the 60% panel would fit behind the seat...

I had thought CNC would be easier, as an engineer making a model and a drawing for someone else to fab is typical. None of the local shops will get back to me even thought they say on their websites they will do a single sheet.

Tuffy lists 50lbs max load... I am ~180lbs and its fine when I sit on it without plywood. With plywood it's totally solid. I am using 0.5" plywood and the front panels are a bit springy without the pad. I may go to 5/8 for the final version. I don't want the weight of 0.75"

I updated and prototyped the design. It is much simpler and can be easily cut out of three 2' X 4' plywood panels available at Home Depot or Lowes, handy if you don't have a truck anymore and drive a Bronco... I have a snow camping and wheeling trip this weekend where I will test it out. I...

The body around the rear cubby is flat, I added some weather sealing when I put it back together to see if it addresses the issue.

Blue Sea Systems has a DC wire gage calculator (http://circuitwizard.bluesea.com/#) assuming 20 amp, 3% voltage drop and a total length of 50 ft it recommends 4 gage, 10% and 40 feet is 10 gage.

You want the charger to be close to the battery you are charging, so in this case in the trailer. Redarc makes a good one (but pricy) https://www.redarcelectronics.com/us/trailer-battery-charger.

I am running my own wire, you will need a DC to DC charger to make it work for a few reasons. The alternator in the Bronco is smart, so it will not output 14 volts unless if thinks it is needed. Chargers like redarc have a ignition wire that let it know when to create that demand. The voltage...

I just had the same happen, flat tire and about 5 min after changing out it updated to showing the spare pressure. But... There doesn't seem to be any notification that your spare is flat which is a bummer. My Tacoma would tell me if the spare was low.

Bronco really isn't that wide as people make it out to be compared to many Jeeps on the trails. A JL on 35" has about the same outside width. The Bronco body is larger so we have less margin, however a solid axel gets wider when it flexes, where as independent suspension get narrower as it...

trailsoffroad.com is a great resource, I would say that trail rating are subjective and depend on the vehicle and driver experience, for example an moderate trail (orange) can be either easy (green) or Difficult (red). The ratings are also for dry conditions which we don't have a lot of in this...

A custom or being able to customize your GOAT modes would be awesome, here is to hoping this comes in an OTA but I'm not betting on it.

@evgenyvasenev After holidays I will prob post something, either snow or Tahuya deepening on snow conditions. Snow changes from day to day or even morning to evening, you can aim for easy but it's not always guaranteed. Getting stuck and recovering vehicles is most often part of snow wheeling.

I am setting my Bronco up to sleep in for 1-2 nigh trips and/or harder trails. I am looking for feedback and thoughts on the design. I have an off-road trailer so if I am going to be in one sport for a few days I use that setup. My goals for this setup are 1. Minimal compromise to the off...

I personally would not do snow wheeling solo, Lonesome Lake is a busy snow trail. If you looking for non snow Tahuya is a great entry level park

NB3Z-17D826-A, I got mine form this link, stamped with 4,500 lbs https://www.ruxerparts.com/oem-parts/ford-bar-assembly-towing-nb3z17d826a?c=bD0xNiZuPUNhdGVnb3J5IFBhZ2U%3D

Well bummer, I think I am going to make my own then. I already have the compressor mounted and most of the components in the system look like standard industrial push to connect fittings...

I have the Grimm bracket and like it, one issue is the mounting location interferes with the hood struts I added so I had to remote mount the filters.
