For the inside we found that six of the Plano 17 gal tubs fit perfectly in a 4dr. (Plus I have the M2M Attic.) Overall not as much packed into the space a free-form packing, but it's a lot easier to get to what you need quickly. I expected to add a 1/2 rack, but haven't needed it yet.
At 150 lbs that includes the fuel tank cover.

I can't find the page that stated the 46 lbs (one of the after-market mfrs), but here's another source. The stock plates are not...
True that. I moved to SoCal in mid 70s from a place with proper clean air. There's no exaggerations in the quotes above. My lungs ached for I don't know how long. Heachaches, eye burn all from very very visible pollution.
I've owned hotrods, track cars, offroad, and while some of CA's...
I find that instead of trying to solve it from the phone end (bluetooth off/on, WiFi off/on, turning CarPlay off/on etc...) I just reboot Sync. It's easier to do, and it's usually faster that trying to connect from the phone end.

Even if they look "perfectly fine," tires will wear unevenly, maybe even flat spot from sitting, get out of balance, and get hard over time. These are all small, subtle differences, but they make a difference even at the low speeds of 80 mph (low compared to racing speeds > 150). I will change...
In a critical pinch and there's nothing to tie a winch to — get your spare tire/wheel out, connect the line to the wheel, and bury it. Dig a trench perpendicular to the winch line so the wheel is buried vertically, maybe dig out a little trench along the line to give it room to come up out of...
My '24 (only a few months old and stock) has front gap* of 7" and rear gap of 6-3/4" — my driveway is inclined a few degrees, so maybe an 1/8" different here & there.

I've been researching lately myself. Some thoughts to help choose what's right for you...
Aluminum saves weight vs steel, but a full set (even w/o gas tank) is still heavier than stock plates. From what I can find the stock plates on a 4dr Badlands is 46 lbs. For a set of well designed...
So, here's my question about those -- You can't predict the angle at which the top part ends up. Ideally, you'd want them perpendicular to side of the vehicle (along 9-3 o'clock if 12 is the front of the vehicle). But if it doesn't rotate far enough, then ends up a little cock-eyed, I'd think...
I saw some follks asking for ideas on this type of thing when I went looking, so decided to post my solution.
Sometimes a higher tie down point is handy. The bolts holding the rear shell are an obvious place to put them. I checked out various Bronco-marketed solutions, but felt most had...
