I got inspired to build a drawer setup that could be extended to form a sleeping platform for any trips that we don't want to setup the old fashioned tent. I watched lots of YouTube videos and took lots of inspiration from this thread, thanks @Jabberwock. The main goals were as follows...
I’ve got stock Badlands wheels/tires so I’m a bit under that. Attaching 1-2 Rotopax and 2 recovery boards and I should still fall within the weight rating.
I’m confused by what you’re saying. The link I posted, that product simply ratchets to the tire. Are you saying that’s the better approach? Or attaching to the carrier/hinge itself is better?
Here's another option - https://badasstents.com/product/ba-tents-rear-tire-side-mounting-platform-for-recovery-boards-or-rototpax-and-highlift-jack-assembly-complete-with-strap/
Got two cracks from rocks and one basically the entire base of the windshield from....turning on the defroster in 25 degree weather. Just got mine replaced this week
I still love the RS but the Bronco is just so comfortable to hop in and quickly drive off without worrying about ever scraping (my RS is stock height), damaging a wheel due to potholes, etc.
Do you want to be able to do anything that would require having more than 3" of ground clearance? Ever since we got the Bronco I barely drive my Focus RS since it's just so much more versatile
