I would like a locking drawer to that fills up that 4" lip and evens out the cargo floor.
You're in luck there is one! Check out the accessories pages from a while ago.
it should fold down though so you can use it as a little barRear side window deletes that are replaced with panels that open to allow access to cargo area....something like these:
I don't think the aux switches will work. For a garage door you need a momentum switch. The aux are on or off.
Matt,
BuiltRight Industries - Innovative Gear Mounting Systems
Hello! My name is Matt Beenen and I've been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to officially introduce myself and our small business! I've been a bit of a lurker on the forums here for a while, soaking up the excitement and sharing the frustration but I think we're really seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with the Bronco saga. We've been in business since 2016 and although we have a number of popular products, we're known for inventing the patented Bedside Rack System for the Ford F-150 and Raptor. Our MOLLE/PALS utility panels are designed to be make and model specific, ensuring a perfect OEM fit and finish.
We've been busting ass to get fitments released for all major truck models so that this summer, we can focus on BRONCO BRONCO BRONCO. We've got a Bronco Sport in-house now for development and shenanigans and just received a June 7th build date for our 4dr Wildtrak. Our 2dr will hopefully not be too far behind.
The BuiltRight Bronco History
Ok, so 'history' is a bit dramatic, but our 6g Bronco story starts in the fall of 2019, when we were contacted by Ford directly about developing a few innovative products to be sold as factory accessories. Many hours of conference calls and some time spent in Detroit later, we ultimately determined that despite the big juicy carrot, what was best for our small business at this time was to go it alone. The Ford Licensed Accessory program is great for large manufacturers, but for us little guys, the discounts, logistics and supplier requirements are crippling. The reason I'm telling this story is this: I strongly encourage you to tap the brakes on your mod purchases while us smaller manufacturers sink our teeth into these vehicles. I promise you, the highest quality and most innovative products are the ones that you'll start to see trickle into the market this summer.
Who We Are and What We Do
We're a small team of guys doing what we love day in and day out to keep the lights on so that we can keep designing and building badass products. I have a background in mechanical engineering with a career that started in DoD contracted and then turbocharged performance products before I finally found my calling in helping to keep your s*** organized. Our team is a combination of gearheads, engineers, veterans, firefighters and outdoorsmen and we all have an appreciation for how important it is to keep your important gear safe, secure and ready for use.
Our Products
I don't wanna beat a dead horse here, so here's a bunch of product pics with links if you'd like to dig a little deeper.
Enough Talk, Whats the Plan?
This is where you come in. The interior organization concepts that we presented to Ford over a year ago are still fresh in our minds and we can't wait to share them, but if there's one thing I hate, it's selling a product based on what we think people need vs. what we know people need. We'll use threads in this forum to share our engineering and design process with you, collect and implement feedback and then bring products to market one by one with your help. We did this with the Raptor and Jeep Gladiator and it was a blast. It's been asked why we're so transparent with the process when it makes it so easy for others to watch and copycat and the truth is, we're so confident in our finished product, it's quality and it's value, that it's not worth losing out on the fun collaborative part in order to keep a secret. We also have patents, both granted and pending, and various parts and features, which help us protect the investment that we make in R&D.
Well, that was a lot of words - my bad. It's 12:18am on a Friday night and I'm just too stoked to wait and post this on Monday like our marketing folks are telling me to do. I hope that if keeping your gear organized is a priority, that you'll follow along, subscribe to our threads and offer feedback! - Matt, founder
Very glad to hear that! We're definitely salivating at the opportunity for clever device mounting on the dash. I think that some of what we've seen is a good start, but I do believe there's room for a solution that's slightly difference and perhaps easier to configure and reconfigure as needs change.
Noted! There are some other small manufacturers in our space that make really great drawer systems, so unless we can find a way to improve on that, we'll probably let them to their thing and work together to make sure our products are compatible with eachother to make sure you've all got the greatest number of options.
I like where this is going.
We'll have a byod solution for sure!
I'm a big DIY guy myself, which is how I ended up doing what I do, so I can definitely appreciate it! In cases where you'd rather buy a quality product from a like-minded company, we'll be here for you!
Thank you! We're on it as far as byod rail goes.
I follow - great idea.
Great idea!
Thank you! The Bronco will be my daily driver and weekend warrior as well, so modular solutions are important to me, especially with a wide range of hobbies and a 2.5yr old. Creative ways to add overall utility instead of adding some at the expense of other features is definitely our goal.
Awesome to hear that you know the name! Love everything you mentioned - my 'to-do' list is a mile long!
Thank you for the support! I think I mentioned it earlier, but yes, a core part of our mission is manufacturing not just within the US, but locally.
10-4!
Awesome! I'm enjoying seeing so many people on 6g that know the BuiltRight name already. We'll have a similar line of useful and easy to install products available as quickly as we can crank them out!
Same!
I'm planning to daily drive out 2dr big bend 7spd and I want everything you mentioned, so you can expect that we'll take good care of 2dr folks as soon as ours arrives.
Thank you!!!
Thats a great idea. We haven't built enclosures before and I must admit, I'm no audiophile, but I'll keep an eye out for solutions or opportunities where we might be able to help.
The 2dr is going to be a lot of fun. Can't wait to see what we and others come up with for folks willing to remove or leave the rear seats folded down, especially.
Thank you!
Thank you!
You may be the first in this thread but I already know you're not the last. Noted!
Hey, being a part of the community is the best part. Sure we could borrow broncos, knock out a few quick products and call it a day, but it's more fun for us to own the vehicles, use them, break them, fix them and find new ways to make them more useful. Keeps things fun!
I'm very excited about this project.
Thank you!
Thank you - it's great to be here. Good vibes all around!
It's an intimidating proposition for sure, but I love the idea. I've had similar storage that's accessible from the exterior on a truck before and it's great for grabbing the items you mentioned quickly.
Love it!@BuiltRight Industries It would be awesome if you guys consider a Ski/Snowboard rack for the hood mounting points that have 150lbs max load on the. I forget what they are called, but the trail sight on the hood.
On it.
Message received haha!
Thank you!
We're not in the business of copying others, so you can expect our byod solution to differ from anything else that's been teased or is available.
Thank you for the warm welcome! Kids are a blast for sure. Having to leave the bright orange soccer ball with the 'coach' instead of it taking it home, however, was not a blast lol.
Thank you! Fun to hear from some friendly faces. I appreciate the kind words and absolutely can't wait to dig into these vehicles. We've got some more help in various areas of the business now as well, so I can dedicate more of my time to new products than I was able to with Gladiator and Tacoma.
We've got a pretty deep bag of tricks and that's definitely something we're capable of tackling. I have a good friend in the industry that has a similar product for Jeeps, so I may see if he wants to team up to tackle a Bronco fitment of his product line!
Love it! Please feel free to shoot me a PM if you've got more specific ideas or want to be involved in the design/test process a bit...
That is our specialty! I may circle back with you on specifics to get some feedback when the time comes.
My answer to the stubby antenna question comes in two parts. The first is that a shorter antenna is inherently less able to receive a signal than a taller antenna, so you'll sacrifice some reception regardless of whatever gimmick a manufacture uses to tell you otherwise. The second is that we offer a no questions asked return policy on antennas (and if I'm honest, basically everything). We've sold thousands of antennas in the last couple of years and have taken fewer than 10 back.
Awesome! The console panel has become one of my favorites. I'm still guilty of letting the console become a bit of a junk drawer, but I know my most important stuff is ready to grab quickly if needed. Regarding the 2dr bits, we will definitely be working on a solution, as it's something I will need personally. Goose Gear makes killer stuff, so if we don't have a way to offer something different, I'll be a customer of theirs. I've got some unique ideas that I think will offer a different solution for people to choose from, though.
Howdy! We're planning to host some events this summer/fall hopefully and I'll post a thread in this forum when that happens!
Great ideas! Thanks for the input!
Yep, the 'Tech Panels' will be a great solution for misc needs. I think they'll stick to the sound deadening as well. I love that they're so easy to remove/move if I need to grab something and go.Thumbing through their site, I might make the most out of the carpet back on the MGV and throw these on there:
Haha, great minds!
Based on what you've said here, you'll be our best customer!
That is priority #1. Our patent bedside rack system has been a hit in the truck world a number of those patent protections carry into the cargo space of an SUV, so we're excited to help you make use of that space.
I like this idea. Hadn't thought of just making something to easy the transition instead of a platform of sorts. Great thought.
I need the same, so this is definitely on the short list.
We take our device mounting seriously, so you can expect a clever solution or two from us.
I dig it!
Thanks for the detailed feedback! All noted!@BuiltRight Industries Yes, welcome Matt! Hold on to your pineapple pizzaIf I may, here are my top 4 I'd add to the shopping cart today if they were available:
1) Picatinny rail for the dash (especially if it's metal)
2) Slide-out tailgate "tray" that would double as a rear cargo area leveler to even out the back when the rear seats are stowed... on both a 4 dr AND 2 dr!!
3) Sturdy fold-down tray mounted to the rear door. I don't know what the load max is for the rear door accessories but I'd think it'd be cool to have a way to max that out further, like by adding a collapsible/ telescoping pole that extends to the ground for additional load support and stability.
4) A practical solution (or several, your call!), for this, as suggested by @kencantrell :
Thanks for listening!
Same.
The cupholder thing is real I guess haha. We've taken note!
Usually I say - WALL OF TEXT, MY EYES!!!Alright, round two! You guys are awesome!

What do you think is a fair price?

Here y’all go... they even have pizza storage compartments... it’s almost like no one here has ever driven a bench seat truck or something.
@BuiltRight Industries
I have an idea for your first product:
How about a replacement for the door panel pocket net that gives you a nice, hidden place to store a handgun? Something stealth, perhaps lockable, and easily accessible if need be.
Rear side window deletes that are replaced with panels that open to allow access to cargo area....something like these:
I've continued to play with that since that video was posted. I was uninspired by the final product. BUT, I've recently come up with a revision that's nothing like what that video shows that I'm confident is the best hilift mounting solution out there. Working on readying it for production now.
Awesome! We still have the 6.5ft panels on our to-do list, but demand is so, so low. Your feedback helps though!
