I have a similar quest. Thinking rooftop tent, however.
I would like one that is easy to put on and remove or tilt to allow the top to be put down.
Gobi seems to be the answer for the latter, but none really seem to be quick to remove.
Very late reply to your platform post... For some reason I missed it and just saw it when searching again. I like your layout. Looks very much like what I want to build, when it stops raining...
Have you had a chance to sleep on it much? Any thoughts on changes you might make if you had...
4 door soft top roof rack that allows you to open the rear fully, and is robust enough for a rooftop tent (200lbs dynamic, 500lbs static). +light weight +not noisy +priced around $1k +removable in an hour or two. I have found numerous that will check most of the above, but not all. The DV8...
I copied (poorly) a jeep antenna mount for the spare tire holder. I had to extend the hight as the sasquatch tire is too fat to fit the jeep one.

Could probably make something similar if you want more...
I had to watch the install video () to see where the bracket passes through the soft top. The install of that is ~ minute 5.
Thanks for the continued updates. I really appreciate the info. I think I am pretty close to ordering this, but I remain concerned about additional noise...
Watching this closely. The Velcro is going where the arrows are below?
Does the front of the rack make noise in the wind? Do you have the lightbar cutout?
Thanks in advance for all the inside info...
I made a modified version of the jeep mount to fit behind my Sasquatch spare tire -jeep one (Amazon) on right. I used 12ga steel sheet. It is probably too wobbly for a final version, but I am test driving it for now. I might weld on a piece of rod or maybe try to crease and fold the upright...
I zip-tied my Midland 275 under the dash (up and outboard of the glovebox). I had to turn the radio's speaker off as it buzzed. Does the M2M bracket eliminate the buzz? Thinking it probably doesn't matter as it is difficult to hear the speaker from behind the dash anyway.
The speaker in...
Happy wife, happy life. Get her the Sasquatch. Also, do the Off-Rodeo.
I bought my wife a Badlands Sas in '21 as a mall crawler and semi-frequent Mammoth Mountain ski/hike trip vehicle.
We went to the Off-Rodeo (TX) just before delivery and I had her do most of the driving. Great...
I tried to use this antenna mount today and discovered this interference (Sasquatch tire). 4x I lifted that darn tire up to mount it in Los Angeles blazing sun hoping to get it to fit.
If you still have one of those spacers I would love to make a deal for one.

I ran a 6 meter wire from the tailgate (cut a slit in the "gland" that has the tailgate light wiring" to the glove box area. Perfect length. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0842B1WFS
One warning to all: do not use this antenna bracket if you have a Sasquatch...
This is great. I need to swap out my Curt ( 2021 Ford Bronco Curt Class III Trailer Hitch | RealTruck ) for the Draw-Tite. I have an "ultimate mx hauler" that is too snug to the Sasquatch spare.

I have the same car (but 2021) and I have used the factory supplied jack without issue.
It is pretty flimsy, and I will probably replace it, but I think it should suffice on pavement just fine.
I have been thinking about doing just this kind of project (with steel, however, as I don't have a TIG welder -yet).
I am not a huge fan of the hitch mount as only rear support. Front lightbar mount is probably okay for a couple hundred pounds of load?
Getting ideas from the options below...
