Check out our Bronco Plate mounting system! Developed to mount a 5 lb, 10 lb, or 15 lb Power Tank securely in the back of your Bronco, it also works to mount 5 lb to 11 lb propane tanks. In addition to a Power Tank or propane tank, there are pre-drilled holes to mount a quick-release fire extinguisher bracket as well an expansion slot toward the front for future expandability (currently in development).
I'm going to stick with the exciting news up top but if you haven't heard of Power Tank, it's the fastest and most reliable way to air up your tires and I'll give a brief overview at the end of this post. I'll make a new thread if I get enough questions about just the Power Tank.
Because of the unique shape of the Bronco's roll bar we couldn't re-use our round roll bar clamps to mount a Power Tank and call it a day. We took the opportunity to come up with a clean sheet vehicle mount based on what we had learned from our previous Jeep Wrangler mounts. With the excitement of an all-new vehicle platform, the idea was to come up with modular parts that worked well together or separately. To that end, we started with bespoke billet roll bar clamps. They are rubber lined so to not scratch your paint and can be used by themselves to mount just about anything. Powdercoated satin black.
The next piece is the Bronco Plate. This is a 3/16 steel plate powdercoated satin black with a few bends to increase rigidity. There are a few sets of mounting holes and 3/8 stainless steel hardware to fit multiple brackets. When mounted, towards the rear of the vehicle is a spot to add one of our billet quick-release fire extinguisher mounts. And towards the front of the vehicle, behind the rear seats is an expansion slot. We have a MOLLE/PALS panel planned but want to know what other things you'd like to be able to hard mount. A small rubber bumper stops the bottom of the plate from coming in to contact with your interior trim. There are separate driver and passenger mounts.
The Bronco Plate fits 5 lb, 10 lb, and 15 lb Power Tank Super Brackets as well as brackets for 5 lb and 11 lb steel propane tanks and 6 lb and 10 lb aluminum propane tanks. Right now, I have my 10 lb Power Tank on the driver side panel with a fire extinguisher and, on the passenger side, a 5 lb propane tank and a second fire extinguisher bracket, but this one houses a Pro Eagle Phoenix CO2 jack.
What really has me excited about the Bronco Plate is how freakin' solid it is when it's all bolted up. I can shake the Power Tank handle and it will rock the whole vehicle. For a vehicle platform designed to offroad faster than the Wrangler competition, this is key for peace of mind and safety on the trail.
What is a Power Tank? Starting in 1997, Power Tank is the original CO2 air system for off-road. With a high-flow, high-pressure Super Flow regulator, Power Tank is the fastest, most reliable, and most powerful portable air system for airing up tires, running air tools, and more off road. A 10 lb Power Tank like in these photos can air up a 37" tire by 15 psi in about 30 seconds and fill 18 tires on a single tank. With no moving parts or wear items, Power Tanks are dead reliable and all come with a limited lifetime warranty. We routinely see Power Tanks over 20 years old so we can confidently say that a Power Tank is the only air system that will outlive the vehicle it's mounted to.
Power Tanks are refilled with CO2 at any number of welding supply, beverage carbonics, home brew, hydroponics, and aquarium businesses.
Our XP400 outputs 400 psi which is much more than any air tool on the market was designed for. To that end, we make our own line of Ventoso Tire Inflator Gauges, blow guns, and other air accessories that can handle this immense pressure. For general air tool use, our regulators can be dialed back to an acceptable input pressure.
Where's the 2 door mount? It's coming! We have finished round one of design and are cutting our first prototype. As long as there are no snags, we'll refine the design a bit and then hit production for a target release date of May. This design mounts using the bolts going in to the top and puts the Power Tank lower, on the ground behind the rear seats. It will fit 5 lb and 10 lb Power Tanks and select propane tank brackets with more options if you remove or fold down the rear seats.
I hope I can answer some questions in the replies.
