Broaddict TrailDeck Slide out tailgate drawer system install

[Bird Dog Off Road]

Just finished installing the @BROADDICT TrailDeck slide out tailgate drawer system.

The unit comes mostly pre-assembled. The packaging is really good to prevent shipping damage. It comes with a mat to cover the top of the unit to prevent scratches. They include Velcro strips to keep the mat in place. Also
Included are non slip tray liners and eye bolts. The printed instructions are very detailed and lots of illustrations.

First thing you’ll need to do is remove the two bars on the bottom for shipping support. This is easily done with a 4mm hex head tool.

The unit is very heavy and I strongly suggest having a second person assist with lifting it into the Bronco.

Once in place, slightly slide the deck forward to access the rear bolt areas (you’ll reuse the factory bolts that hold the hooks down, 10mm). You’ll put the bolts in without completely tightening them. Then move to the front and slide the platform back into itself. 3 of the front bolts are harder to place. I used a swivel extension and a ratcheting closed end wrench to get mine in. Before tightening all the bolts, you’ll want to shift the entire unit towards the front of the vehicle as much as you can for tailgate accessory clearance.

At this time, you’ll want to test the tailgate closing for clearance issues with tailgate tables or other accessories. If the tray handle interferes with a tailgate tables, you do have the option to remove the handle by unbolting it from underneath the tray. Luckily for me, mine barely cleared.

At this time you can place the optional mat cover using the supplied velcro trips and /or the non slip tray liners. You can also install the eye nut pieces with the t slot bolts.

At this point you are finished and can start attaching accessories and filling the trays with tools or other items.

FYI, YouTube video install premiere Monday 8 ET/6 MT. Live chat for any questions.

Good documentation is always a good sign.

Which swing gate table do you have? I had one but it did not fit with the TrailDeck so I removed it. Waiting on the new Broaddict one to be released next month, but I am always interested in what accessories work with each other .

Mine is the JCR Off road one. Had it for 4 years now.

Great Post thanks. What would you say is the tallest an item can be to fit in the drawer? How do you access the factory jack storage and storage well? Thanks, I'm waiting for the 2 door, if I can fit my stuff in it.

I'd say the their description of 2.77" is pretty accurate. My dead blow hammer and torque wrench (in case) didn't make contact at all. They are limited on the height and still keeping it level with the seat backs (when down). I think they did as good as they could in that regard. Accessing the factory Jack and storage well isn't hard at all, but you might need to consider Fridge placement on the passenger side if you want to access it regularly. With my lift, the factory jack is useless, so I'll only put stuff in those areas that are rarely used/needed.

Wanted to share my DIY solution for the gap.
