Opinion: Door bags are a must

[coryfg]

I will let you know what I find out. I am going to follow up with the dealership this week.

Thanks. I'll do the same. I saw a posting on a different forum page where a person said they got that strap with their door bags. I sent that person a message asking to confirm.

I got the strap with bags for my 4-door.

My door just go on the couch in the garage. I don’t use the bags at all. Just grab under at the lift spot and the outside handle. No issues taking them off or putting them on.

You paid for it, so Ford owes you a harness. Simple as that. But yeah, it costs like $600 by itself through Parts.

If you are for sure going to store the doors in the back, get the onboard storage bags but make sure Ford or the dealer give you the straps that come with the set, they are ridiculously expensive.

If you just plan to take the doors off occasionally to store at home, get the garage bags. Heftier, more padding, and cheaper. And right now is a good time to take advantage of Ford’s 20% off sale because their shipping is also ridiculously cheap for the two large boxes they come in. Only $7.95 shipping to Arizona. Also suggest DM’ing @flip about them here on 6G. I get them cheaper than Ford‘s sale through him. Doors are off and padded and safe, and I wouldn’t have wanted to remove or install without them.

Any pics of the garage bags? I have the bags with harness that came with my bronco and they are surprisingly stout. Nice re enforced corners and I think well padded. I can’t put them on board since I have the locking drawer. But my wife’s bronco will not have the locking box right away so maybe we will use the harness on hers. I doubt it tho as it takes all your cargo space up. What do you all do with recovery gear and coolers with the doors stores in the back?

This is very strange. If you ordered the door bags when you ordered your Bronco (which I remembered doing but apparently didn't carry over when I had to do the 22 reorder), the bags come with the strap and are made to be stored in the rear. If you order them through Ford accessories, in the description section, it says, "Not compatible with on-vehicle storage."

I don't understand what the difference between the two door bags are or why Ford would make one's that can be stored in the rear and others that can't? Also, the one's that you can store in the vehicle and come with the harness are $350 while the one's that can't be stored in the vehicle are $430 (for both front and rear). I can't even find an option to purchase the one's that can be stored in the vehicle.

How much more padded are the garage bags vs onboard bags? Has anyone seen both to compare?

I have no idea, but a friend of mine has the bags designed to be stored in the vehicle. I'm going to try and swing by his place to compare them. Will let you know once I do. If anyone else can chime in on this topic, please do.

That would be awesome, thanks!
I am going to buy bags but not sure which ones would be better. I don't think I will ever store on board but you never know, especially if someone makes an after market harness. Another advantage of the onboard bags would be taking up less room taking them on vacation when loaded up with stuff. But if the garage bags protect significantly more they may be the better choice.

Real problem, right?!

There are two different types? I must have got the garage bags if so.

The harness unfortunately is ~$600 on its own if you don’t purchase it alongside the vehicle.

 

[Ig_bronco]

If someone wants to custom make them at an Upholstery tailor I can measure mine. 400-600 is steep givin "inflation"

 

[Tarheel_Wes]

Yea, I was just coming on to try to figure this out. I bought the 4-door bags after the fact, and couldn't figure out where my harness was or how to store them on-board. I guess I have the "garage" ones only?

I had ZERO idea there were two different sets of bags.....and how TF is a harness over $400?? That seems insane.
