Truck Vault for Bronco? What's the Best Solution?

[rhodesbennett]

Hi All, I want to find the best solution for storage of gear and parts while out wheeling. I have a 1969 Bronco. I would like to hear what you have found that works best for you. Searching on line it looks like the Truckvault website has alot of good options. Thanks for your input and guidance. Cheers, Dan

What is the purpose, security or just to keep things located? For tools I like military tool bags made of extra heavy canvas. It kills a lot of rattles. They're super tough. I'm thinking you're talking about tools/parts you have with you, in the Bronco. Where I go "wheeling" there are no people to steal anything. so security isn't an issue.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree. I am currently using heavy bags to carry tools and parts but some of the sites we go to such as Calico are not the safest and I end up dragging everything into the hotel room. I think I just need to start camping at the site to be safer or eventually pull the trigger and get a camper. Thanks again

I made a plywood deck that covers the rear of the bronco just a few inches over the wheel wells. Covered it with cheap black carpet to match the interior. I bolt it to the six point cage with some modified muffler clamps. I store stuff under it in plastic tubs and bags. I added a padlock to my aftermarket swing out tire carrier so you can’t open the tailgate to get the gear out. Also keeps everything from flying around in case of a rollover. Works for me.

I run a tuffy locking drawer with spare tire mount on the top. They are really convenient and easy to use. They also can be picked up pretty cheap used like sub $200

I thought about adding a truck tool box with either a lid on the top or a lid towards the back that woudl be hidden when the tailgate is up like either of these. I have seen the ones with top lids used in Broncos, but they don't allow for stuff to be put on top because it blocks the lid.

that's a cool idea, can you show some pix on how you secured it?

Have not put anything in Bronco yet but for my jeep I bought a $35 carpenters tool box that looks like the $350 one on web site. Sprayed several coats of bed liner inside and out..Has two latches and place for pad lock. 2 years and looks like new. Bolted to floor.

I have one of these trailer tongue boxes from Harbor Freight mounted behind the rear seat (in addition to a Tuffy center console & glove compartment.)

My own or a friends tow vehicle has worked well.

I have this for a build on my rig. I will need to fabricate a mount for it but at 4' wide it fits right in between the cage..

Generally craigslist, Facebook market place, and local four wheeling forums like nc4x4

Best part is Tuffy still sells all the parts to there’s drawers so they are rebuildable.
