What have you done to your Bronco today?

[tasker]

i'm big and dumb so it's not much of a chore at all...have to get the casters rolling in the right direction. I put the truck tires to the inside of the rollers so that hits the baseboard long before the side of the Bronco would.

Apparently the Gen 6 Tuffy Trunk fits nicely in our classics. Tuffy is blowing them out so I gave it a shot. Pretty happy with the fit and clears inside the wheel wells. I may see if they have a drawer(s) that I can mount underneath to give more storage. The Gen 6 script bolts on so that’s probably coming off and maybe someone can cut me a classic script to go in its place.

Well, I haven't been driving as much with all the projects and miserable rainy weather so I made up for it tonight... least the tires felt like they had a thousand miles of rubber burned off of them tonight!


Took 15 min to find my pic and the 20 meg video wouldn't load. Lost it... Great rainstorm drive!

I can see where it’s “pushable” with the thingys under the wheels, but once you get it rolling, is it trouble to stop? I don’t see a hand brake. Lol

FLAT FLOOR so it pushes and stops pretty easy

I’m kinda jealous of all y’all that have smooth shop floors. I ‘inherited’ the slab under the barn where my shop was built and all it had done was a rough screeding with a 2X something. It’s bad enough uneven that it takes several folks to move it if not running.

under my house, no "shop" by any stretch of the imagination!

Did you bolt it to the truck? Wondering if the holes have clear access from the bottom.

Not yet. Going to figure that out this weekend. Will try and fabricate something that uses the existing seatbelt holes and possibly the body mount bolts. I don’t want to put any more holes in the bed.

I'm interested in if you can open the top without opening the tailgate. It would be great if it was accessible with just the lift gate open. Keep us posted!

For now, I just used heavy duty L brackets and spacers off the center seatbelt bolts to avoid more holes in the body, but it will need a couple more anchor points before an off road trip. I may add two Tuffy drawers underneath later for more storage. They should be able to take the weight of the box.

Yes opens nice with easy access. My old Tuffy box opened from the face and access was a pain.

Very happy and now I won’t have to carry an extra bag on road trips.

Great find @Ol'Blue and thanks for the pictures. This looks like a great fit and very useful.

Hard to tell. Would it fit between a family cage? Gas tank in the way for mounting?

Fits between my crappy home made roll cage, no problem. I have a 1” BL and 23 gallon tank so I might be able to get to the nuts if I threw bolt it. Stock tank and no body lift would be an issue.

You could try nutzerts/rivit nuts from the top.

Measurements attached and good to double check to make sure they fit your rig.

 

[Soylent]

I forgot that the wheel house protects that space. I may consider this box when I drop the tank for EFI conversion.

 

[Bruners4]

My Bailie Built Family Cage is 49" between the tubes where the cross bar is and 43" between the base plates. It should fit without any problems!

 

[Soylent]

Great to hear. That’s the cage I have.

 

[Speedrdr]

Well, not just done today, but finally got the seat(s) sorted out for mounting. I certainly hope I measured correctly and they will FIT once bolted in.

Not perfect but should be comfortable.

And, yeah, I need to do a serious cleaning. It’s what I get for not washing my hands before messing around with cloth seats.

Next stop, more ‘fun’ with more floor repair.

Did an oil change yesterday and took my wife shooting.

Ranch Rifles are a lot of fun….
