Plywood is a great option. Could even make it 2 pieces for easy installation and modularity. I just roll a thick rubber utility mat when I’m not using the dog bed or need to transport stuff from the hardware store.

@TX/CO Bronco It’s about 35” from the roof, but you’d lose another 6” directly under the roll bar. I can’t say for sure the case is better than a custom wood platform. I have considered building one, but for now I’m happy knowing that I can convert to original. I also like the ruggedness...

I don’t have actual specs for that, but these cases are made out of heavy duty Polypropylene. Extremely rugged in my experience. I’ve thrown cinder blocks and bags of gravel on it without any problems. It’s a semi-permanent part of my vehicle as I have it strapped down and locked to the mounting...

The exterior dimensions are 38.47 x 16.42 x 6.14 in. So, I think it’s about 1.5 in. taller than the seats with those seat back protectors I have on. Here’s the link to my tonneau cover build https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/diy-tonneau-cover.82174/post-2059280

@LastDeadLast one of my favorite additions to date. I chose the 1700 Protector Long Case because it sits a little more flush with the back seats, but it’s more expensive. I just throw down a rubber mat when I need more grip.

I’d be surprised if you could only use the lockout one way with the tab. I actually think @EIGHTLUG said you could engage it a few different ways earlier on in the thread.

Yeah…I agree. Not ideal. Have you considered cargo nets? More coverage and tie down options/angles. Gladiator makes some really nice ones.

There are the 3 car seat mounting points on each seat, headrest posts, and, of course, the hardtop bolts. I add soft tie down loops to each one for easier access.

Can someone show me what “cheap interior plastic” looks like compared to the expensive stuff? I’m not concerned about scratches; I throw cinder blocks and 2x4s in the back, so I expect scratches. Does it sound different while driving? Easily crack? Fall apart?

I didn’t see it happening in the aftermarket, so I made a tonneau cover and window.

Thank you! It’s really a fun and satisfying project, and you don’t need much expertise to accomplish it. So far it’s been very functional as extra security. People who see it in person think I purchased it. And that’s too bad about the comments on Facebook. I got this vehicle to “junk it up”. I...

It gets the job done and pretty secure. You can thread the original top bolts in place to ensure the doors don’t jump off the thing. I just wish I had a better spot in my garage - the doors side by side are long. Also they don’t quite sit flush against the wall. I’ve considered adding a piece of...

Thanks! Glad I could inspire. By the way, you’ve got one of my favorite builds I’ve seen on this forum. I don’t off-road enough, but love those Swampers and Hutchinson wheels you’ve got.

Are you saying that you want to keep the seats up and make a cover for the cargo space behind them? You could use a bike lock that wraps around the roll bar and through the head rest.

Awesome! Please report back. I’m trying to think how I could use mine as a template to share. Any ideas?

Let me know how that goes. I considered using ABS.

it doesn't but that’s something I’ve considered adding down the road. Im working on a “windjammer” for it next.

Finally got around to posting my tonneau cover build. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/diy-tonneau-cover.82174/

Gonna be honest, I improvised a lot, so I can’t really share a helpful step by step. It’s made out of plywood, wood filler, spray paint, weather stripping, a jigsaw, and lots of sandpaper. The cover attaches to the bronco using the same mounting points as the hard top, but I had to buy longer...

Depends on what your ultimate purpose is. My front panels don’t sit flush in the middle without the crossbar; and It’s going to integrate with my cab “window” and tonneau cover. Otherwise, you’re right, it’s secure without.
