I’m not sure if they’ve put it in Broncos yet. The guy there did mention a rear seat delete as we were brainstorming, but saw my three kids with me and realized that was no-go. His idea was to mount it between my fridge and the side panel on the driver’s side, which is a possibility if I can...

Anybody use this? Stopped by Rhino in San Marcos looking for advice/solutions for battery mounting. This is pretty expensive, but opens up a lot of doors for saving space. I’m thinking about mounting it to the back of the rear seat on the driver’s side. It will fit perfectly in that location...

I have been running an EcoFlow Delta 2 in the back of my Bronco for about six months now. It’s actually my third unit, as it has been replaced under warranty twice. When I left a negative review on Amazon, they contacted me directly and offered me a $50 Amazon GC to take it down. If you pay...

When I read this, I figured that would be a good solution, but when I looked at my rig, I remembered that I’ve got a shower tent mounted to the back of my roof rack that protrudes enough to interfere with any tall antenna mounted towards the center of the tailgate. That got me thinking about lip...

I will eventually put an AAL drawer (or two) on the right side for tools and camping gear, but I’m otherwise pretty short on space and want to get stuff out of the cabin where possible.

It just occurred to me that this may just be an issue of the stock tires. They are notorious for trapping rocks and debris - getting back on pavement leaves me flinging stuff for a few minutes, even at highway speeds. My guess is they are just frantically launching mud into the deep recesses of...

I’m looking for a low-profile box to mount on my PackRax to store my recovery gear. This will free up space in the cargo area, as well as keep my interior clean from dirt acquired via off-road recovery. Most overland-type boxes are far too big for this configuration. Looking at pelican cases...

Got it. Will do.

I normally avoid mud because of the pain it brings for months afterwards. Having said that, I’ve driven many vehicles through very muddy situations, and never seen anything like how badly the Bronco gets caked in every single crack and crevice. I had to hit a single muddy spot on a trail back in...

Curious if you have ideas for mounting an ATAS on the Bronco. I had a thought of mounting it to the front bumper, but I don’t think there is enough clearance. Rear bumper is plastic, and I’d be wary to mount it higher for vertical clearance issues.

I used hamstudy.org. Each day, I would read the questions from a sub element briefly, then do study mode for 20-30 minutes until my “aptitude” level was at 100%. That’s probably overkill, but it was attainable without too much effort. Ten days later, I finished the final sub element and took the...

Ah, ok. I was looking at the Extra question pool and felt lost and overwhelmed by it. I may need to expand my skills and knowledge a little further before I take the exam, just to have a baseline knowledge.

What happens this summer?

Thanks for that. I’ll check it out. In other news, I passed my general class license last night. That was much easier than I thought it would be. I think I may just keep studying and get my Extra while I’ve got momentum. Why not, right?

Thanks y’all, I appreciate the input.
