The cut out measurements are right around 7/8" x 3.25". Keep in mind there's also a bit of carpet folded in between the latches and the lid!
Nope, not yet! I've looked around online but haven't found anything yet and may lean towards the DIY route.
Post some pics if you get a chance!
For sure!
Here are the latches. I chose locking ones so that when you put things on top, they don't accidentally open. Worked well during last week's camping trip. I'll get you some measurements in the morning for the cut-outs.
Here are the struts. I used the 13lb / 15 inch combo. I...
Nice! I'm super paranoid about torque on lug nuts. I've seen all sorts of crazy stuff happen with loose lugs at autocross.
Any time a wheel comes off, I do a 5, 10-20, and a 100 mile check on torque to be absolutely sure nothing is working loose.
Totally agreed. I tried to explain that to the service advisor - I don't want to be that asshole customer that's going to yell and scream at everything.
Comedy of errors today.
They sent out mobile service to my place to remedy things. The service van didn't have the oil or filter for the Bronco, and the techs walked around hitting every lug nut with an impact gun.
Looks like another service appointment.
Long story short:
- 3 out of 4 wheels on my Badlands had loose lug nuts (I went out and checked by hand)
- None of the wheels were inflated properly (I had aired down a while back for off-roading and figured I'd tackle the air-up during the service)
My gut noticed a few things when I left the...
It's a shame with that silly seat height difference in the back - I saw some folks with Jeep Gladiators do a seat delete and install full-length drawers. Tempting for me but I still want to be able to bring friends along so this will have to do.
At least this provides me with a somewhat flat...
Thank you!
When I first went about drafting plans, I had goals of putting drawers in and all that but I realized there's not a lot of space to work with.
After calculating the dimensions of the cabinet and drawer hardware, you're left with two drawers, with the approximately dimensions of...
If you've got the time and you're handy, do it yourself.
Some days I don't mind getting under the Bronco, some days / weeks, I don't have the time, energy, or desire and getting it to the dealership is easy enough (for me).
I also use the dealership because they gave me a small service...
I've got this banker's box of various RAM joints, u-bolts, suction cups, and ball mounts.
Free to a good home if you want to pick them up.
I'm located near Santa Monica and can meet you within a 5 mile radius. I can ship if you're willing to pay the shipping fees for USPS (the box weighs...
Ok - I was over-complicating this way too much.
For the frame I used some poplar lumber I had (3" tall x .75" thick) and picked up a 4' x 4' sheet of .5" plywood from Home Depot.
Measurements:
Front support: 41" long x 3" tall x .75" wide
Left and right supports: 28" long x 3" tall x .75"...
Slightly on / off topic, if anyone has this bracket, I'll be glad to take it off your hands. Will send you cash for shipping & handling!
I wish I had waited just a bit - I put together an entire tow package with Curt products about two months ago, just need the bracket to finish installing...
Hi all,
I'd love your input and ideas on how to build my drawer system.
Requirements:
- Dual drawers
- Access to the jack storage compartment
- Access to the drawers without sliding them open
- Drawers will be for storing some recovery gear, camping kit, tools, accessories for...
2012 X5 diesel. Bone stock, with 200k miles. Having a diesel car in CA is hard - especially when the emissions system dies around 200k miles.
Did a 3-week long road-trip towing a 23' Bambi back in 2018.
