A worthy addition to the Hitchhiker’s Guide.Another weekend "to do" I've been working on is finding a way to make the best use of the neat little storage tray Ford provided in the spare tire well. I knew I wanted a better tire iron as I've yet to see one from the factory that worked worth a %$#$ and as I rule I always try to have a basic multi-tool and the handful of items needed if a wheel needs to be changed. This time around, with the nice power supply options in both front and rear of the Badlands, as well as this is meant to be the Wife's daily driver, I also wanted to see if I could find a portable air pump that fitted snugly into one those tray compartments.
This is what I've come up with:
One thing to keep in mind is that this is the full-tire optioned Bronco Sport, so the cargo tray sits higher to clear the larger spare. While the Audew air compressor fits perfectly into the triangular tray space, it is "thick" enough that I'm not sure if it will clear the lower height that Sport owners with the compact spare have. But in the Badlands it fits like it was meant to go there.
The rest of items should all fit fine.
A lot of the little stuff I got a various local big-box stores but if someone wanted to duplicate some or all of this here are the P/N's:
