Mountains2Metal's New Flip Down Attic Shelf

[Ghecko90]

Looks like a great solution. Curious if there is any rattling issues?
Any M2M partners out there that can give the 5% discount or Vet discount?

I have a squeaking issue when it's loaded. I haven't figured it out yet. No noise when the tray is empty, except over a good bump. I think that is expected though. I have a noise that is like Styrofoam inside of a box when you are trying to pull it out. Super annoying.

@Mountains2Metal any chance you guys could offer a template for us early '21 guys to drill and install the rollcage rivnuts needed to run your tilting attic rack?

I had the same thing but it only happened when the shelf was pushed as far as it would go toward the passenger side. Not sure if yours is the same.

Anyone have the SSV works speaker pods and can confirm that this fits with them?

I do! Works with the large speaker version of our attic shelf.

I can confirm it works with a JTOP. Brackets go underneath the top nicely. You may want to replace the bolts. They are hex head. I can see potential wear long term. I plan to swap mine out.

Great, thanks!

When I saw this, I realized it would be a nice addition, so I ordered one. Installation was fairly easy, but I did need to manually bend the right side bracket a little. No matter what I did, before the slight bend, it would not latch. Since the parts looked straight, my guess is that is wasn't the product, but the Bronco possibly having a slight difference in it from the factory. Nevertheless, after I applied a slight bend, it latched perfectly. I did add a few wraps of electrical tape to the latch pins to deaden rattles and then added felt tape to the sides of the tray to prevent another possible rattle if the tray came into contact with the brackets. I'm super picky about rattles and that's all on me. Having said that, the attic is a very nice addition to Night Horse and I highly recommend it.

I would like to get some opinions from those who have installed it in regards to the sturdiness. Watching videos of opening and closing it seems to be kind of flimsy. Like they should have added another horizontal bar across it to stiffen the platform.

It does flex if one side is dropped. However, I ditched the carabiner clips they provide and just reach up and use my middle fingers to release the latches while holding the tray with both hands. It then lowers down easier in one fluid motion. It's easier, to me, than using the carabiner clips. I shut it the same way, with both hands and it latches fine.

It is sturdy, no worries there.
It does rattle a bit on bounces but I recommend
