  1. Help me understand the fuel economics of gasoline containers?

    From the current issue of Land Rover Life Magazine... two jerry cans on the front fenders and four on the roof. Wouldn't be hard to make one of those roof racks if you really needed lots of extra fuel. But I can't imagine any expedition you could make in the continental US that would need that...
  2. Help me understand the fuel economics of gasoline containers?

    The insulated Rotopax cover pictured is a proof-of-concept under consideration by Overland Outfitters (https://www.overland-outfitters.com/ford-bronco.html#/) made for testing. They haven't decided yet if or when it will go into production. It does work quite well but OO isn't sure if there...
  3. Help me understand the fuel economics of gasoline containers?

    Here's what happens in the sun if you don't vent them: Bulging can be mitigated with an insulated cover (sorry it's on a Wrangler)...
  4. Fridge Slide - Driver’s Side

    Not sure what their plans are for the tailgate reinforcement system but I'll pass along your comments. I do believe the overhead MOLLE is on MORryde's list. It's very handy, it stows up in space that never gets used and it's not even visible when it's stowed. In this video it's installed in a...
  5. Fridge Slide - Driver’s Side

    I think MORryde already has a volunteer for the initial testing, but you'll be on the list if more volunteers are needed for this product. MORryde also plans to do Bronco versions of some of their other Jeep products, and they'll likely need testers for those products as well. BTW They're...
  6. Fridge Slide - Driver’s Side

    This is a bit more than just a slide, but there's an opportunity here for someone. MORryde has been in the Jeep accessories business for about 10 years and they're now getting into the Bronco market. They've got several best-selling products in the Jeep market, and their Trail Kitchen, shown...
  7. Door pockets

    I mentioned this to the folks at Overland Outfitters and they are very willing to make larger custom pockets that can hold bigger water bottles or whatever. Anyone can contact them through their web site about that if interested. BTW the pockets pictured in Lauren's post are custom, she must...
  8. Door pockets

    Seems like a hard pocket that's big enough to hold a large bottle like that would be a problem for my legs. A company that's been in the Jeep market for some years is starting to do some Bronco products; all of their products are military grade canvas with real leather and they offer...
  9. Ineos grenadier

    I took a few photos of a Grenadier at SEMA - one thing I found interesting is the L-track built into the sides (it comes that way from the factory). I'm not sure what it'll be used for but I'm anxious to see the uses people come up with when enough Grenadiers get out into the field. Any...
  10. A recovering Jeep guy here

    I won't be able to do any of the fiberglass things like barn doors until I have a Bronco to work with, so for now for the things I design for the Bronco I'll have to stop by the local Ford dealer to measure and again to test fit, like the trip I made yesterday to measure for the no-drill...
  11. A recovering Jeep guy here

    The Gr8Tops top is my design, they licensed the design from me shortly after I finished building the one for my Jeep. They've been selling it for quite a few years. Barn doors are compatible with a removable top the same way upper half doors are, at least in the Jeep world. In fact soft barn...
  12. A recovering Jeep guy here

    I don't sell anything, I just design stuff. If something I design is going to be sold, some company or person would have to pick up the design and market it, I have no desire to ever sell anything. For example, I designed the hardtop on my black Wrangler just for my Jeep but shortly after I...

    Does any Bronco trim level support removable hardtop sides replaceable with roll-up soft sides? I like the open air experience I get with my custom hardtops but I don't like the sun on my head so I can remove the hard sides for the summer and run with soft sides and roll them up whenever I want...

    They're smaller inside than my JK, and I'm 6'6" so it's a bit tight. There's a minivan worth of plastic trim inside, they're harder to accessorize for real world expedition use than previous generations, and they're very expensive. A small example - Ford engineers seem to understand that...
  15. A recovering Jeep guy here

    Thanks for letting me know, I'll look for it. I could be interested in replacing my Wrangler truck at some point. Lots of people turn Wranglers into "trucks" by throwing a half cab hardtop on but the bed is pretty much useless. I wanted a "real truck" when I was designing my pickup so I...
  16. A recovering Jeep guy here

    I really don't know which trim level I'd want - there are almost too many to pick from. And I'd be outfitting it with a lot of my own designs as well, for example perhaps a custom hardtop, so it'll take some study for me to decide what options to get vs. which ones to build :).
  17. A recovering Jeep guy here

    I've been active with Jeeps for most of this century and after I was able to leave the high tech world I started designing my own Jeep accessories because I never seem to be satisfied with the products on the market. I've always done this as a hobby for my own enjoyment, but companies have...
