I've been eyeing the RC Hidden Winch for my 2.7 Badlands although I'm not looking forward to some of the challenges. They won't stop me but they may slow me down.
I've seen the @evilletruck video and initially I was leaning toward the RC winch as it seems like it might go in better. But then I...

Patent pending? Thats a waste of time.
Would this actually work to power a small air compressor? What’s the max amps on the Bronco 7 wire connector?
I got the Hooke Rack a couple weeks ago. I’ll post a link to that install. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/475-hooke-road-discovery-roof-rack-review.68710/post-1930263
And then yesterday I stopped by Inspired Overland to pick up my tent. I’m on a month long road trip and this was an...
I started my road trip yesterday heading from Portland to the Bay Area. It was just over 600 miles and it took me 11 hours. The Bronco did great although at close to 80mph the mpg is… disconcerting. :oops: But the seat is comfortable and the ACC makes it an easy drive. I’ll stay here for a...
I can't fathom spending thousands for a RTT. Especially when you see how basic they are from watching them assemble one of these things.
Right now I'm looking at two palatable options.
One is a 2022 Badass MOLLE XL. It was purchased by someone locally and never used. Apparently they couldn't...

The below is just a rough sketch showing the concept. If you like this idea I am happy to fully flesh out the design.
Key features:
Adjustable straps to fit difference tire sizes.
One compartment full height and lined for garbage.
Avoids rear camera.
Possible variations:
Wrap more...

I installed this last night and it looks great. The only issue I have is that it uses a fuse tap in the fuse box and the lid can’t shut. I believe the...
I’m trying to keep the external attachment to a minimum so I opted for the Exitrax 930, which are their shortest boards. From what I can tell the Exitrax are very well made Australian boards, not some cheap stuff off eBay. I’m sure someone will correct me on this.
I’m going to have a fridge on...
Someone on this forum linked to the flag/antenna holder for a Jeep that fits perfectly on the Bronco. For $15. I added the Handy Flag and threw a fire extinguisher in the back and took the kid to the beach.
As I was by myself I didn’t get too crazy but I will say that Baja mode is a little too...
I want to make a bracket that utilizes the three M8 threaded inserts on the rear roll bar.
I'm sure I wasted my time doing all of the measuring and the CAD data is readily available but I it did anyways.
Is anyone familiar with these measurements and am I off?
For those of you who don’t know the Portland Cars & Coffee is held at Langers in Sherwood. It’s a fantastic facility with a ton of parking. It’s every Saturday from 8-11. In the summertime they will be absolutely packed. It’s a great place to meet up with folks, chat and look at some amazing...

I think the larger speaker enclosure is a great idea. But I think there is room for improvement. You have a pretty large enclosure but it seems that more can be done with the space.
As we know interior lighting is a constant ask so I have some sketches that could show how to improve...
Until I find a good slide I just want to strap the fridge down using the built in “lasso” d-rings. I’m trying to find the right kind of strap for this. Suggestions? Fridge will be on the passenger side facing front to back.
I'm planning on being in Moab in June (yes, I know I'll miss the big Bronco event) and was looking for some suggestions of what to see, which trails to try and where to stay.
I'll be by myself in the 4dr Badlands so I was thinking of just sleeping in the back. I'll be there for just a couple...
A long time ago I picked up a couple pairs of Harbor Freight Rock Lights. Nice, rugged aluminum housing and 320 lumens. Power leads are pretty short. I think I got them on sale for $19ea.

Let's talk power. How much battery do you take with you when overlanding? Are you less concerned about battery life because you know you can always recharge from your vehicle?
Do you tend to camp in one place or move from spot to...
Ironically I can’t get my switch to work.
I installed my ditch lights. To make sure the lights work I tested against the battery. They work.
I want to use Switch Three which I understand to be the Violet/Green wire (taped up here) located driver side cowl.
If I ground the ground wire...
Here's two that came up fast on Google. Let me know who you think is the best.
