  1. Upgrading dashboard USB on 2022 Bronco with lux package

    I was running the 67 designs half bar and a couple g3 magnetic mounts and I recently got a phone with wireless charging and wanted to use one with active cooling. The bronco comes with an underpowered 5v2a=10w usb on the lux dashboard from the factory. After much digging I was able to find this...
  2. Bent soft top rails - anyone ever fixed this without going through insurance?

    Drove into garage door with soft top in 2nd position (two days after getting a lift and new tires, forgetting I would no longer fit 🥴🥺🥴) Now of course the rails are bent - the top closes but there are gaps. Hate to file a claim with auto insurance if it can be fixed at home. Has anyone been...
  3. Do It Yourself (DIY) Affordable Flexible Stable Accessory Rail

    I didn’t want to spend up to $300 on some of the commercial accessory rails I have seen advertised and I wanted more space and flexibility than some of the $40 rails. So, I engineered a $20 rail that is extremely flexible, sturdy and more affordable. Please feel free to use this as a starting...
  4. Rear Wiper Delete

    I am interested in getting rid of the useless box and wiper arm on my rear window. I have seen there are plug kits for Jeep - any experience out there just using generic grommets or bolts with neoprene washers or something? I would like to make it look clean. Any advice from anyone that has...

  6. My DIYSquatch Black Diamond "Bumblebee"

    Took home in July 2022. I've basically kept it stock until recently; only doing minor quality of life improvements. I'm going to use this thread to document my journey and share knowledge with others. I specifically bought the Bronco as my "do everything" vehicle (e.g. daily, work, & play). I've...

  8. Added sound deadening to hardtop.

    Dealer messed up and the Ford sound deadening wasn't installed. They provided it to me after delivery. Thought I may just go without. I bought kilmat to help insulate a little more and help with the sound in the vehicle when on the phone or just driving around. Helps with sound in the vehicle...

    Has anyone DIY’d the modular bumper color match? I’ve seen people doing it and wanted to see if anyone has done it in their garage rather than a paint shop and maybe had some tips?
  10. 4DR Overland drawer & sleeping platform DIY build

    I got inspired to build a drawer setup that could be extended to form a sleeping platform for any trips that we don't want to setup the old fashioned tent. I watched lots of YouTube videos and took lots of inspiration from this thread, thanks @Jabberwock. The main goals were as follows...
  11. ANOTHER mud flap post?!?!

    Haha I know, just what we need on this forum. But I wanted to share an idea that I think some might find helpful. I was able to fabricate a really good mud flap mounting option using a home-made bracket attached to the crash bars, and then used that to mount a good quality mud flap that you can...

  14. How to: 2 Door Rear Seat Removal

    It's pretty simple but I made a little write up anyways. Only thing is you'll get a seat belt fault code at startup. No annoying chime or anything. If anyone finds a bypass to that let me know! Ignore my chicken scratches. I will try a more formal write up later tonight
  15. DIY $300 LED Halo Light Bar Project

    I wanted a light bar set up with round LEDs that had the retro look, and had an LED halo that would fit with the Bronco LED lights aesthetically when they were on or off. I liked the look of the KC or Hella off road light set ups but didn’t need the high end lighting as this is more of a daily...
  16. DIY Sleep Platform In Use on 4-Door Bronco

    I have a temporary 4-Door Outer Banks that was sent to me as a promotional vehicular through the Team Bronco Ambassador program. To make any sort of use of it I had to build a simple platform in the rear to level out the “step” behind the rear seats. The platform is really just 2x4s with a...
