BAMF Tailgate reinforcement

[BAMF]

For some people hanging that big 35 or 37" tire on the tail gate is the only option. The Bronco rear door can't handle too much more than the Sasquatch 35" without shaking and squeaking or even pulling off the door on rough roads.

We wanted to make something a little stronger than the flat supports that are out there now.

The BAMF tail gate reinforcement is constructed with .188" HRPO formed to better fit the contour of the rear gate. The formed flanges add structural support not only allowing the tire mount to transfer load to the hinges. It also limits the amount of twist that happens to the door with a heavy tire hanging on it. They have mounting points to add a universal mounting plate for Jerry can/ Hi-lift or other things next to the tire on the hinge side. Hiding Under the factory tire mount there is a mount plate with 15, 1/2" holes allowing you to run other mounts/ tire delete.

Installation
To install Start by unplugging the camera and third brake light from inside the door. Remove the gas strut to the door and close it. Remove the tire carrier from the bronco. Then the 4 hinge bolts, use leather glove or towel between the door and bumper to shim the door while loosening the hinge bolts. Place the support on the gate, line up the holes and reinstall the supplied hardware on the hinge side loosely. If going to larger tires the flat rectangle plate will raise the third brake light remove the screws and install the plate with supplied hardware to raise it up. The lest step is to sandwich the plate with the tire carrier and reinstall all the hardware. Check the body gaps and tighten the hinge hardware. then reinstall the plug for the camera and gas strut.

We have about 3000 miles of driving it like we stole it! tested with the mount with little to no movement/noise

Rotopax storage mounts on optional plate shown below.

These will be going into production this week and on the site to pre order shortly after production starts. They will come powder coated black with upgraded hardware. Tested with a 115lb 37x12.50 wheel and tire combo.

That's a good piece of equipment right there. The only reinforcer out there is the flat Rough Country support panel. This looks much more reliable. I would recomend black bolts and washers to blend a little better.

That will be up on the website by next week. Once I have pictures of the complete powder coated unit installed.

Yeah these were temp bolts. they will come with SS black oxide coated oversized flange head bolts for the hinges.

Glad to see alternatives, but It looks like the tire mount sticks out too far and will compromise the departure angle?

Awesome! Looks so much better than the Rough Country one.

Can't wait to replace mine with this.

That's the factory tire mount on there it's .188" out further than factory. That's all the back spacing on the wheels we are running why it sits where it does.

Looks great. Super interested in this, hopefully it stays like that with no logo cut into it on the final unit. Is there conical spacers so it sits off the hinge? Will you guys have accessory side mount plate for rotopax?

Looking for a tire mount off the tailgate and on the bumper

Do you guys sell the universal mount for hi lift and cans?
I didn't see it on your website.

 

[BAMF]

That option is not available yet for these.

The main mount won't have the logo the optional mount plate will have one. No spacers they are bolted to the hinges it lays flat on the tail gate.

hmmm interesting....more concerned with skid plate alternatives (if shipping doesn't kill it) than a tire mount though

Our skids are the strongest on the market so they are heavy and freight shipped. The bronco skids will be no different. We hope to have an IFS and transmission skid out next month.
