Gun / Firearm Racks & Storage [*** Storage Talk Only *** No Glorification, States, Laws, Permits, Politics or Usage Discussions]

Has anyone ran across any information on gun racks for the Bronco?

I think the tuffy security storage drawer for the cargo area may work. Also I remember a few early threads back in Aug where a few Jeep guys had some pretty interesting setups.

I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going to tie down my deer.

It's one of the reasons I'm buying the 4 door, one of my guns won't fit in the 2 door.

I’ve shared this on the forum before... but I too am getting a 4-door to replace my Jeep:

He sounds like the wise old rancher that I know in CO, same lesson.

Current Plans:
.45 on a magnetic mount, lower dash in front of right knee.

I am ordering a 2 door. I don't have the details figured out yet, but I plan to mount 2 Kolpin Rhino Grips to the baby seat attachments on the back of the rear seats. With the window tint, you can't see a gun mounted here. (when roof is off, I won't carry a rifle)

A gun rack? A gun rack!?

This just made my day!!!

A coworker learned that lesson from her old man while living up in the hills around here as a young girl. Solid advice when you're living fully rural.

Definitely picking up a 3D printer to design something to go in place of the center console grab handle.

Pay attention to material types. The most widely used hobby 3DP plastic is PLA, and the lower end of its softening range can overlap the higher end of hot-vehicle-in-summer range. Materials that are suitable are definitely accessible, but maybe not a great first choice to someone new to printing.

Not an insurmountable obstacle, just something to plan for.

(On the bright side, you do have several months to get it all figured out.)

Pwn your tech!

Thats also how I understood it. It looks to form a cage that’s only accessible when the rear gate is open.

On my Jeep, the interior electric lock buttons are disabled after a few minutes, so even if you leave the top off, as long as you remembered to lock the vehicle, someone can’t open the rear gate without a key/key fob.

This may or may not meet your requirements for secure storage, but implemented correctly it’s quite a clever solution. Basically gives you a lockable trunk when you’re driving around without a top.

This is a great idea and may be the only way to actually satisfy the laws for firearm transportation while topless where I live, unless there is room beneath the rear seats to bolt down a locking box? When the seat bottom flips up and the seat back folds down would there likely still be a gap underneath?

Good lookin out! Already looked into it a fair bit because I'm planning to print some motorcycle parts for a project I'm working on as well.

The space underneath the rear seats on the 4-door is where the seats collapse and pancake down into when folded. (the folding mechanism is different for the 2 and 4 doors)

You could put something down there, but you wouldn't be able to fold the seats down anymore.

Every time I try to get cute storing something underneath the rear seats in my Jeep about 6 weeks later you'll hear me swearing out in the driveway when I go to load in something long.

So I just discovered this picatinny rail lock that I hadn't seen before. Ohhh the possibilities.

This is just an aside, but I really don’t recommend advertising in any way that you own firearms on your vehicle. Highly visible racks, stickers, etc. is a huge encouragement for thieves. You can scour my Jeep up and down and you’d never know that I hunt/own guns etc.

That being said, I would definitely like some sort of secure solution that’s discreet. What I’ve been thinking about is some sort of small storage deck the size of the tailgate table, that would give you a flat load floor and secure storage. Now that would be sweet!
