![Revealing our 2021 Ford Bronco and then immediately building it![TRANSFORMATION]](/img/n.gif)
Ford would be wise to support this channel. I may drop them a line.
That would be awesome if they did!
@@OFFTHEGRIND yea.... talk to @JustinBMcBride about that first....
@@NorthShoreOverland I have actually. Wouldn’t want to join their ambassador program but would love to be associated in some way
You’ll drop them a line? Does anyone at Ford even know who you are? 😢
What an awesome build my friend! Love your rig and your videos.
Thanks so much man!
Got my 2023 Bronco at the same spot 2 months ago. Installing exhaust and cold air intake this weekend. I live in Mill Creek.
Very informative. I like the lights. Bronco ‘24. Just gotta wait !!
Awesome video man, rig looks soooo good !!
Thanks so much man. Stoked you’re still around after I moved to the bronco!
Fantastic rig! 👊
Great information and great video. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful
2nd comment, I second the GMSR Midland radio, same ones we use and I second the ICECO APL 55, same one we have, I have it on the slide and it is amazing! I have a different Tailgate table, but that is a must have! I had bought 2 tables to bring with us, I only bring one, the tailgate table is that helpful! In my rig, I also have a pantry drawer that is 20 inches wide by 7 inches tall, it has 4 dividers in it, so I store all my spices, silverware, pots, pans, etc. and it has a countertop wood top that fits on top when it is open and stores inside when it is closed, super amazing! I will probably add a second one without the countertop, I only need one countertop. LOVE THE EXHAUST! I have long tube headers on my Mustang GT, so I will probably leave the Bronco quiet, our mustang is so loud!
Haha I had a mustang with a similar setup and it was SOO loud. I loved it lol! The exhaust is awesome and for what’s it’s worth has no drone.
I really want to get some sort of drawer system in the rig, but I also need to be able to throw the dogs in there sometimes. Would be so nice to have though
@@OFFTHEGRIND Yeh, my baby went to sleep on August 7th, she was my Pomeranian, and my little mutt is 14, so she will not be going, she is an old lady now! I bought mine from Nomad Kitchen Company, they are not as well known like Goose Gear, but their products are amazing, built tough, and pretty, made of wood and painted, not so industrial.
Thanks for the iKamper link and codes.
Absolutely! Glad I could help
So sick!
Nice review one day I’ll upgrade my VL 35 original to the VL 35 pro from Iceco 😊
Hey man, if it’s still working for you then no rush! The pro series is awesome though!
Enjoying your channel. I have a badlands as well. Mountains2metal has a bracket for you gmrs that mounts behind the glovebox. I installed that version on mine. It was easy and gives a nice clean look since the only thing visible is the mic.
I haven’t heard of them, I’ll have to look in to that! Thanks!
Okay I have to second the Trailrax Tremor roof rack, we have one on my 4 door Wildtrack Bronco, and hubby has it on his 2 door Wildtrak, these roof racks are the best! He is carrying the Ikamper Skycamp 3.0, which weighs 160 pounds, it is a king size bed, and he has no issue in the 2 door Bronco with it on top. I am carrying the Yakima Road shower, a 270 degree awning and the 95L Roam box on my Bronco, I will be adding another Roam box, just waiting for them to put the one that I want on sale! We need lights, that is our next move, then upgrading the steering and tire rods, those are all on the list. Love the wheels and tires! That is also on the list. I swear the list just keeps going, and we have 2 to outfit.
Hahaha I totally get it! The list is never ending. But it’s so fun to get something new and test it out and always be making it better for your needs! Super cool that you have a pair of broncos though! Love it
You should consider adding metal molle panels to the back of your rig. I did it and its a game changer for storage.
Been thinking about that actually. That and the xcargo packs
Love that intro dude!
Thanks my man!
Great video, good content, I appreciate your more direct communication on each point/item. I drive a well built Land Rover, so the Bronco specific content isn't why I am here, enjoyed it nonetheless. Now, tell us more about the location this video is shot. My new garage/shop needs to look more like this!
Thank you, I’m glad you got something from even though we drive different vehicles. So this spot was a used car dealer. Unfortunately they announced they are shutting down days after I filmed this
Good time to buy your headquarters?.... @@OFFTHEGRIND
Nice Bronco! I second RCI products. Their quality is great and everything fits like a glove. I didn't find the net addict in your description. 🤔
Hey David. Love the rig. 👊🏻
Thanks my dude!
@@OFFTHEGRIND 😎✌🏼 that exhaust sounds pretty good as well
Thanks!
I'm thinking of ordering a badlands. What's your actual mpg savings or gains with all these great mods? Great video, thank you.
Another great video! I anxiously await your video drops. Youve built the most sensible, well rounded rig on a somewhat Blue Collar budget. No needless money spent, i love that. Keep putting out the great content!! 🍻
Thank you! I have a very capable rig in stock format, just small things I needed to do for my specific use. Don’t need all the crazy gadgets that is commonly seen on TH-cam
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate all your videos. Any plans for onboard air?
Thanks! No, Im running the morrflate system now and I really have been loving that
@@OFFTHEGRIND Nice. I built my own quad system (which I love) and run a small air compressor. Next year I'm upgrading to a Bronco as I've out grown my current ride, so I'm looking at air compressor choices on a blue collar budget. Thank you for sharing all your experiences and build!
Hey David, love the channel. Have your exact same rig but 2-door and love it. What are you using for air up/down?
The two doors are awesome! If I didn’t have a kid and dogs that would be my move. I use the morrflate TenSix psi pro and the quad tire kit. There’s a link in the description if you’re like more information on either
I like what you've done with your Bronco. I was able to mount my GMRS radio under the center console with a CAT 5 looking female plug for the mic. It is a real slick install. My big question is, how long have you had your affiliate link? I just bought the full 4dr TrailRax roof rack and I asked the sales guy if you had an affiliate link. He said no. So I paid 2K for my rack. 10% off would've been nice. Then, to top it off, they shorted me on the weather stripping. 😮
Oh that sounds like an awesome place to run it. Like under the center console or in it?
I’ve had it for about 9 months now I think. It is just an affiliate code though and does not offer a discount. Just helps the channel out. Sorry about the weather stripping though. Did you reach out to them about it?
Best take some extra tie rods with you over landing.
great video I was wondering you mentioned going from a truck to the bronco, how much do you miss your truck and did you go with the bronco because of its relative size to a truck ?
I have a full video covering that uploaded maybe a year ago or so. I miss having the bed, but I love the bronco and have no regrets. But ultimately is was a better family vehicle then the truck was
David, when is the winch coming. You roll solo most of the time, so with winch and bigger tyres you'll be able to explore further into the wilderness. The roof rack wind deflector is perfect to mount a good light bar light the rigid adapt (gps), dio dynamic 50 inch light bar would be good when explored deeper with all kinds of bad weather. In my humble opinion.
Both are things I’m looking at honestly. The winch is on my mind a lot, I just don’t like the mounting options I’ve seen so far. But it needs to happen. I’d like a light bar up top as well. I even have the cutout wind deflector. But it’s not a necessity. The lighting setup I have now works really well
@@OFFTHEGRIND I agree your lighting setup will work well. The mounting options available may not look good, however it's a necessity for an overlanding to have a winch, especially to your rig, cuz you do solo trips almost all the time. You may not like available winch mounts, but get the one you like most and when a better one is available in the market which you like you can change it again. I've seen one Bronco built where the winch is mounted in the place of the sensor. The sensor moved to the right. It looks so neat and clean. I don't remember the company that built it.
Great video! I want to know more about your traction boards and how to mount them to the Pax Rax. I have the Pax Rax and the ARB Tred Pro boards from Ford Performance. Turns out there aren’t very many mounting brackets on the market for ARB Tred Pros. Also, mounting these long boards on the Pax Rax, it blocks the opening of the door. Do I have to purchase the expensive extra mounting plate from Trail Rax or do the standard ones work? What (locking) hardware do you use? Thanks.
Unless you’re super handy with fabrication, your best bet is the universal traction board mount from TrailRax. It also allows you to adjust the board back further so they don’t block the door open.
I have standard mounting pins that I just put a pad lock on. I had a barrel lock on them, but it rusted and I had to cut it off. Pad lock does great though
@@OFFTHEGRIND nice. I'm looking at how to mount my tractions boards for the winter. Was almost just thinking two black ratchet straps... Not sure yet. Usually if I get "stuck" it's time for the winch haha.
Thanks for the video.
What did you use to attach the traction boards to your rak pax?
I have the universal mounting bracket from Trailrax with the maxtrax pins
Do you have a link for the overhead nets you used? I tried google searching but can’t find it. Thanks.
I talk about Paco a bronco about tires keeping with Kent driving
Great build so far. Is that your daily driver as well.
Thank you! Yea it is!
What paint did you use to make the trailrax logos orange? Like the look of matching the badlands badge. Thanks!
I just used a krylon spray paint can from a hardware store. I took one of the badges in to compare. Thanks!
Grid, off the grid.
It’s a play on words man 🤦🏻♂️
I would recommend a lapel mic to improve sound quality. Edit is good, content is good. Keep going!
It’s truly unfortunate, but I have them. Thought they were charged up but got onsite and they were dead so just had to roll with it
The BDV duo has assembled and unassembled options. It can't be too labor intensive if one chooses to assemble it themselves. I'm assuming it comes with easy to use instructions for the assembly? Did you assemble yours?
I have heard it is pretty straight forward. It’s about a four hour assembly. But I have not done it myself so unfortunately I can’t really speak to that
You might answer this in the video, but im asking now so i dont forget.
With the rooftop tent and roof rack, can you still take the top off? Or do you have to remove everything to get the top off, and if so how much of a PITA is it?
You can take the three panels of, but not the rear part of the roof. You would have to remove the entire rack to get to that
@@OFFTHEGRIND sweet deal. I have a 2 door so I’d probably have to call them and ask how that would work. As long as I can get the two panels in the front off I’m happy.
@@AndyGabbs oh for for sure can. The racks are designed to allow you to remove those panels. You just can’t remove the portion with the windows
Might have missed it, but what size tires are you running?
They are the stock Sasquatch size. So 315/70r17
How did you mount the GMRS handset to the vent?
It’s a magnetic mount to the handset and then adhesive to the passenger airbag cover
I like the ford bronco sport look wise better what is the difference and can it do what this one does?
Well if you're just going to be doing light off roading you'll be fine. If you want to do more serious of roading then an actual bronco is the way to go. Short answer, the sport absolutely can not do what this bronco can, not to say it can't do easy trails.
Me again. Would you suggest the yellow or white ditch lights ? Thanks. Have a Happy Thanksgiving
Sorry for the delay! I would say amber though. Amber is better almost always because they are easier on your eyes and so contrast better, therefore illuminating imperfections in the road better I would say. And ditch lights specifically will likely be lighting up trees or brush right outside of your window so the amber will be less distracting and easier for the driver
@@OFFTHEGRIND Sounds good to me. Thanks for the reply!
@@OFFTHEGRIND Thanks again. Just placed my order !! Now if I could get a date on my 24 Bronco build I’d be happy 😀
Did you go with the 5 degree or 20 degree rock sliders?
5 degree
@OFFTHEGRIND Thank you. Love the channel btw.
Found your channel via @Casey250. Thanks for sharing!!
Well thanks for coming over and giving me a shot
I’ll get the yellow for down in the bumper
Good call!
What netting are you using above your head?
It’s from Raingler nets. Raingler.com
Man, I thought you just got the Falken R/T and was looking for some long term impressions that are sorely missing out there...What made you switch so early? PS. Btw, Ridge Grapplers are supposedly pretty bad on wet pavement (the opposite of what you heard)...
Honestly man, nitto reached out and offered me a set, which I just realized I didn’t disclose in the video. I was decided between the falkens and the nittos and chose falken because I had had the ATs before. I’ve been curious about the nittos so I couldn’t pass it up. I will say, the falken are extremely stiff. Like uncomfortably so at times. But they perform great off road
The switch makes more sense now :-) Good luck with the Grapplers...I bet Toyo's RT Trail are going to be very similar as well@@OFFTHEGRIND
@@kevinstarski1598 thanks! I’ve been curious like I said so I’m glad I get to test them out. And yeah I’m sure they will be extremely similar
@@OFFTHEGRIND Nice! I'm trying to butter up Toyo for my next set of 37's hahah.
For budget purposes could someone use a Sport model with 4wd and build it into their overland or adventure rig?
Like the ford escape one? Can do it with any vehicle just the more u do it the more u change ur set up for what u do so if that works for u do it just know that’s an escape not a bronco even tho the name suggests that they’re kind of close, but they’re not.
I agree with what Trevor said. You can literally do this with nearly any vehicle. You just have to understand and respect the limitation and capabilities of that platform. I’ve seen the sports built out and they’ll definitely do any forest road just fine and most spur roads. But they have nowhere near the articulation or clearance for much more
@@OFFTHEGRIND thanks for the info. I’m really itching to get into a more suv type rig because I want my truck back for doing truck things. We honestly don’t do any real off-roading. It’s mainly fsr or gravel roads but it would be nice to have something that’s built for more tough terrain should I ever need it. I may have to just bite the bullet and spend the extra money.
do you have a generator you use too?
Yeah I use an anker c1000
You didn't cover your skid plate build. Did you get skids that cover the fuel tank? If so, what? I am trying to get a solution for mine- I've scratched and beaten up the plastic Bronco fuel tank more than I care to have done already.
I haven’t done anything. I have the badlands Sasquatch pack so it comes with reinforced skids. Not the best, but nothing I’ve needed to replace yet
Are you interested in mud flaps? I manufacture for Bronco Sasquatch and regular Bronco's. Would you be interested in testing and review?
And business inquiries can be sent to my email which you can find in the description
Do you even lift bro? 😄
Yeah. Donuts to my face
@OFFTHEGRIND that'll make your Bronco sit even lower buddy! 😄
Nice setup there but I wouldn’t trust my life to some fabric
So trailer camping only for you then?
Horrible tires for rain and the slushy snow in WA
We shall see. I’ve heard very mixed reviews so really wanted to see for myself
@OFFTHEGRIND be careful on the roads. I was just sliding into another vehicle with 35 mph in the rain. No grip at all.
So you need to do some hefty mods to simply overland in this vehicle....I guess i will pass on a purchase.
You don’t need to. Also, everything I did was completely bolt on. You can overland it as it is from the factory and I have. These parts just make it easier
