Wheels & Feels drawer storage system install on a 2024 2 Door

I wanted to share my @wheelsfeels.com drawer storage system install since there was only an autocad video provided by the manufacturer. I like the kit, the CNC cuts are precise and it was relatively easy to assemble. It weighs in at about 13 pounds and provides some additional storage while allowing you to access the factory storage when the draw is out and the lid is lifted.

I ordered this box kit on 10 NOV and received 15 JAN (66 days) - It was well packaged, had some extra hardware and a small cross point screwdriver and a hex wrench. It did not have instructions, when I contacted them, I could not get anyone to answer the phone, but did receive an email to a video (follow link - Guide). When I asked about written instructions, I received no reply. So I decided to take some pictures and with my laptop on hand, I was able to sort it out and install in about 2 hours time.


Here is the completed install with my back seats folded flat - their website says that they have a model for those that removed seats, but I wanted to keep my seats in place. Note that the left side is slightly different than the right to allow the tailgate indentation to fit properly. I have a tailgate mounted table that did not interfere with the drawer.


The first piece appears to be one piece in the instructions, but it is two pieces that are joined with 6 of the M6 x 25 screws.
Panels and pieces are marked "L" and "R" which reference the left or right of the drawer as viewed from the back of the truck looking forward.



The majority of the remaining screws are M6 x 40.
Next, both the left and right side of the base need to have the pieces that allow you to secure the system to the locations of the tie downs. They are secured on the bottom of the pieces that have the drawer slides - the larger of the two requires two screws while the smaller takes one. The drawer slides are on the interior of the piece for both the left and the right sides. Both of the smaller pieces are installed so that the writing Is facing up while the writing on the pieces that have the slides are facing the space where the drawer will be located.


Once the two drawer sides are assembled attach the first piece to the two side pieces using two screws on each side - completed it looks like this. Note how the first, longer piece's joint is not centered with the left side being shorter.


On the drawer, each side is secured to the base with two screws on each side which are located at the base of the side pieces, below the drawer guides. The guides extend beyond the surface of the drawer as shown on the side that has the notch in the base of the drawer bottom.


The back of the drawer is installed with three screws, one on each side and one centered attaching to the bottom of the drawer.


The front of the drawer is installed with four screws as shown. All writing faces the interior of the drawer.


Using a 10mm socket, remove three M8 x 1.25 pitched bolts as shown - two forward and the forward most of the rear tie down point. The instructions show that you can re-use this hardware, but it is not possible as they are too short. I purchased 6 each M8 x 50mm 1.25 pitch bolts and washers that allowed enough thread to hold the drawer in place. Additionally, the plastic covers can not be reused when you install the drawer. The kit comes with 6 M6 x 40 bolts, but unfortunately on my 2024 they are not the correct size.

I do not have a picture of the bolts installed as I had to install them after a trip to the hardware store. I used a 16p nail to help align the holes and had no significant issues bolting the system in place.



On each side use two screws to attach the end pieces as shown.


On each side press into place the small blocks into the notches as shown. The larger one is at the rear of the vehicle as depicted. I pressed them into place by hand.


Next, Install the two hinges as shown with three of the small wood screws each - I also have placed the removable covers over each side.


Attach the lid using three more wood screws per side as shown.

Finally, carefully install the drawer rails into the slides - this must be done straight and at the same time to prevent misalignment. Gently push the drawer all the way into its space.



Last you can install two or no dividers using one screw on each side. The optional table top fits nicely on top of the drawer as shown in the last photo.

Looks great.

Way to tackle that. came out looking good.

Looks cool. I cant tell from the picture - is the top of the drawer system at the same height as the folded rear seats? Or is it taller?

Click to expand...

It’s a couple inches taller- there is also a couple inch space between the back of the drawer and the seat mount covers. About the width of a folded compact umbrella.

I like it. As a 2 door owner maximizing space is paramount and I did a seat delete already. Giving this some thought. Thanks for posting.

OMG how much does that weigh? 66 days would not even be reasonavle if it was mase from CF. Looks like came from local prison slave labor facility, thus the zero cust support.

I would feel so ripped off even if it was $100.

The Bronco adtermarket is a gong show from poor fit, low grade materials, low grade coating, missing parts and instructoins, $2 plastic VOC ogfgassong parrts for $80, fake and no warranties, noncustomer support.

Why not buy from alibaba at 90% discounts haha.

Lesson: Tread carefully innyhe aftermarket world where even big names are very risky.

Looks nice but I'm sure a lot of would be customers are looking for something to make the cargo floor the same height as the rear seats. The cargo area is much more useful when everything is flat. I would encourage W&F to make a version that does this.

Having IKEA flashbacks...
(but pretty cool!)

Nice job @dagarbronc those picture are very helpful. A couple of notes based on comments I see above. I worked with the company @wheelsfeels.com on this design, they used my Bronco to scan the interior and get the dimensions right.

- The model with the seats removed and a flat surface that extends the entire way from tailgate to front seats in final stages of design. I am meeting them next week to test fit and do final tweaks, then it should show up on the website for purchase.
- This is not China crap. Designed and made in Houston, Texas. The plywood is 1/2: think laminated and finished. The guy that does the design knows his stuff.
- When I talk to them I will make sure they know they need to ship with the bolts to fasten to the floor. You should not have to buy bolts on your own.
- Lead time is long, they are a small shop and working to get bigger. I think currently everything is made on one CNC machine, so as they grow they can expand and bring that lead time down. You can pay extra for expedited manufacturing but who wants to do that?
- Also agree the engineering and product are great, the service part still needs work. I have been expressing that to them as well.
- Assembly is very much IKEA-like

Also when you check out if you use promo code BUDGETBRONCO you will get an 18% discount, and full disclosure I get a few bucks for referral.

Grateful to see this post. I'm currently waiting for delivery but not expecting speed. They warn about this on the website (I think they state 5 or 6 weeks for delivery).

Thanks for putting this post together! I just received my setup from W&F this week, about the same turnaround time that you had. I was leery of the lack of online instructions, since the website and YouTube channel simply point to each other with no Bronco instructions.

I looked into them for my 4 dr but based on your pics now I'm still on the fence. How can they send you a piece with a big brown line thru it (left side back piece). Just looks horrible. They should have redone that piece out of scraps at least.

I have the 4 door kit. Generally I am happy with it however there were a few quality missies on the one I got. None of the issues were a big deal to me so I did not reach out to the manufacture and cannot comment on their customer service.

• The center top panel has some small features near the edge that I believe are to hold the net if you get it. They are ~0.25" wide and were damaged when I opened the packaging.
• The raised area in the Bronco drawing had broken off. This is cosmetic only but very visible. (on further inspection and looking at their website it looks like its intentional and perhaps the plywood had some internal voids?)
• The piece labeled RBR was missing a spot where it was supposed to be predrilled. It was easy enough to drill but should have been done.
• The piece that you can attach to the end of the top to create a lip that stops items from falling off the end is made out of two pieces of plywood. It immediately split as the screws are right on the glueline.

Overall I really like it, I used to have the Tuffy drawer and I find with the extra side and back space I can fit more into this one. I also like supporting US made and small business. I also think its a great value.

Considering that this product is produced on demand (and that it is not inexpensive), the lack of quality control is disgusting. They should be ashamed for shipping the product with those defects.
