I put a Kuat Grip 6 ski rack on my 2 door with a TrailRax half rack last winter. Worked pretty well. I would think it would work on a 4 door half rack. Here is my thread on the installation with pics...

@Aonarch be careful with the can mounted vertically on your spare. When you open your rear hatch it might hit your taillight and break it. I had to mount my rotopax gas cans high on the spare to avoid this.

@Johnko I would think the roof would come off the same but I have not had my roof off. I was even thinking of attaching a hoist system to the rack in the case I take it off. I don’t have the racks that cover the side windows in the back so I don’t know what impact that would have. @TrailRax...

@FFF there is some wind noise, but I don’t drive at highway speeds all that much so it isn’t much of a bother. I am thinking about taking the front fairing off just as an experiment to see if that might increase or decrease the noise. @ksdon the tabs that grab the MIC roof are bolted to the...

@Mainer if you put two skis together, one binding down the other facing up, you can get six pairs of skis up there. The Grip 4 holds four pairs. If you do that, the downward facing binding won’t clear the side of the half rack (see last picture) when you go to pull out the bottom part of the...

I installed the TrailRax 2dr half rack on my Big Bend a few weeks ago and posted this thread https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/trailrax-half-rack-on-2-door-installed-first-photos.83525/ Today I installed the Kuat Grip 6 ski rack onto the half rack. I got the Grip 6 because the bottom of...

@Rusty Sheckelford I’m adding a video showing me giving the Bronco a good shake while holding on to the half rack. I’m thinking it would work as a lift point to take the rear top off. Your decision, but I’ll probably do it when I get to taking the top off. Snowing this morning so I ordered a...

@carrellslake I’m planning to put a Kuat Grip 4 ski rack up top for starters. TrailRax says it should mount right to the cross bars. The 2 door doesn’t have all that much room for skis inside. @Rusty Sheckelford when I grab the half rack standing on a step ladder and shake the Bronco it moves...

@TrailRax Do you have weight specs for 1/2 rack without Pak Rax? So far I’m planning to put a ski rack on mine, but weight limits would be nice to know.

@Rydfree I haven’t been at highway speeds yet. Others reported no change in mpg or wind noise. I’ll post if I notice anything.

@Mudlight there is a pad that adheres to the underside of all the mounting brackets keep them from scratching the top (the inside bracket bit you can see in the pic also has a pad against the top). The rear one fits a little better because of the indent in the top. Nevertheless, the front one...

I ordered the Trailrax half rack for my 2 dr Big Bend 2.3 auto non-sas on Tuesday. It arrived Wednesday (very fast) and I put it on this morning. Took about three hours, but I was going slow. The instructions could use a few tweaks like telling you they aren’t in the box but on their website...
