My Race Red Heritage Edition 2024 Bronco Build & Story

[Callelk]

Speaking of Mountain 2 Metals, I installed their attic shelf to utilize the space above my kennels. When lowered there is about 2 inches from the top of the kennels to the bottom of the shelf. I was hesitant on purchasing this but I’m extremely happy with the product. I’m currently storing the Morrflate hoses system, dog first aid kit, drone, and some other things in it. I plan on storing soft shackles and a snatch rope when I go hunting/exploring.

For the rear seat back covers I went with an inexpensive one off Amazon. Could not see spending twice as much for protection. It seems well made, fits well, non-slip, and does what I it to do. Added a headrest trash can as well.

Console divider and Molle. Not sure what I’m going to do with the Molle but I have it!

I installed a Mountain 2 Metals Molle console panel and tray for my sunglasses. Moved my G2 flashlight mount to the side of the tray and added my multi-tool pouch.

Installed front door Bartact bags. Drivers side stores extra C132A flashlight batteries with C123A battery charger and stores the Garmin Tread when not in use. The passengers side holds the Ford tool kit that came with the Bronco.

Last night I finally put the stickers on the aux switches........

That’s it for now. I received the Ford Performance front tow hooks yesterday and they will go on this weekend. A Mountains 2 Metal tray will be installed on the rear window Molle next week when it is received.

The last items on my list are:

• Radio and antenna. I plan is to purchase a Wouxun 1000 G Plus before hunting season. I have two hand-held GMRS radios that we use hunting but want to install a mobile in the Bronco. I already have the Mountains 2 Metal antenna mount and Ghost antenna and will do the installation when I install the radio.
• Seat covers. Still debating on which seat covers. Will only be doing the front seats and they will be installed during hunting season only. I like the HE seats but need protection from mud, etc. during the season. Looking hard at Carhart and after reading hundreds of threads here on Bronco6g, I’m still nut sure which way I want to go.
• Camp knife. I have a Beker BK2 camp knife and a Kukri, both in Molle sheaths. I’ve split logs with both so they are equally heavy duty and its a tough decision…………

I changed the G2 to LED and have a flip-top red filter on it as well.

Thank you.

It is great to be able to go through the threads and see what others have done. Too many people to list like CarbonSteel, Kraken, 5GENIDN, BigFootie, RagnarKon, Lowcountry, to name just a few because the list is endless. You see what other have done and get their opinions. Some has worked out for them, some not so much.

I really like DIY because my job either has me parked in front of a computer, sitting at an airport or training dealers on our products. I am a Regional Manager for a Fire Apparatus Builder and cover 14 states and all of Canada. I'm a gearhead at heart and was doing brake jobs with my dad when I was 6. I love tinkering with cars.

The Bronco is not my everyday drive. I have an Escalade for that and really it's my dogs Bronco, just ask them

Very cool build. Thanks for sharing! A lot of good ideas all brought together in one thread.

You don`t think it could turn like this ?

I'm thinking in hindsight, since I only mounted three devices, that a smaller rail that left the area open ahead of the mounting screw (arrow), would allow two, two-port chargers like I used at the rear. I would have went with 2 "A" and 2 "C" ports which would have given me 1 extra port for a radar detector. Unfortunately, most rails/plates cover this area.
