So true! More tools to buy too! Here are some project update photos on my build. Anyone else started their own cargo storage project?

Thanks! This is final mock-up before final assembly. Also some shots of the cargo assembly sliding out for access to spare tire compartment.

The project went on a weight loss program! ?

Shouldn’t be a concern for me since the space isn’t totally enclosed and the actual venting on the items is not blocked. I’m designing around a Bluetti EB70 power source as a house battery, assessable from the passenger rear seat side. The cooler is a BougeRV 53qt unit, which received good...

That’s great information, thanks! I have plans to include a sliding “sleeping” platform here the idea of doing light weight panels would be perfect. I’ll see what I can find regarding construction techniques for a laminate buildup like you described. Do you have any specific materials you...

Sure, I would appreciate the input! The prototype Is being built with .710 Baltic plywood for strength, although I was planning on incorporating some weight reduction cutouts. Here is a closer picture of the base supports with weight reduction applied.

Has anyone added cargo drawers or a fridge slider system to their Bronco Sport yet? One of the first modifications to my BS/BL was adding a Pioneer Roof Rack so I could relocate the spare to the roof, freeing up that space for more storage and recovery gear. To ease access to the potential...

Appreciate the detail!

The plugs for the holes actually came with the kit, so I can’t recall since I just measured and chose the drill size. Really just large enough to get Allen key through, maybe 1/4 inch. Maybe these photos can help.

Yes I was able to install the wind screen and feel it did help with the wind noise overall. I ran into an issue with the windscreen kit as provided thought, due to the newer Pioneer Platform design, the spacing for the outer support arms needed a little modification. I did the modification...

So the adjustments I used to position the 60x49 Pioneer Platform I installed were to space the 3 cross braces as follows: Front crossbar at 46 cm Center crossbar at zero cm Rear crossbar at 46 cm One of the cool things about the Rhino Rack is they have a “ruler” imprinted right on the underside...

Correction! Looking to install down RIGHT A pillar, Ford instructions use LEFT A pillar. Need more coffee! ?

I’m exploring options for installing the provided KC harness down the left A pillar. I found these 34 pages of Ford Performance instructions which indicate there is a factory installed wiring pigtail at the dash but requires installation through the roof right side rail...

There is a bit of noticeable wind noise. Closing the moonroof curtain helps quite a bit. I have the Rhino Rack wind fairing ordered and will see how much that helps. I have the KC HiLites LED curved 45” light bar mounted to the Pioneer Platform also, and was surprised it didn’t much if any...

So here is the link for the 60x49 inch on Rhino Rack site: https://www.rhinorack.com/en-us/products/roof/roof-racks/pioneer-platform/pioneer-platform-60-x-49-unassembled-with-sx-legs_jc-00784 I actually purchased my rack through eTrailer.com who had all the parts in stock. Super nice and great...

Looks great! I installed a 60”x49” Pioneer Platform on my BL and like you say after several adjustments was able to get full clearance for the sunroof. Love how low profile it is, even with the standard spare tire mounted on top, still fits in my garage.
