Leveling the Bronco Cargo Area || DIY Leveling Platform || Off The Grind
In this video, I will give you the measurements and everything you need to be able to level the Bronco Cargo area with common stuff you can find at your local hardware store. The reason you may want to level this may vary, but for me, I need to be able to sleep in here until I get my RTT mounted, but I also want this area level for the camping tote that I use when I go out.
Here are the measurements you will need:
Frame:
(4) 2x4 - 29.25" long. Cut an angle of 125* at that length. These 2x4's will have to have an inch ripped off the top to allow for the 1/2 plywood to fit perfectly on top of the hump.
(1) 2x4 - 27" long. This is used for the cross brace and will sit in between the two inside 2x4's and far enough in to allow the storage door to open
Plywood - This will be 31.5"x41". You will need to cut out a space for the access door which is 15.25"x27.5". Allow about a half inch on either side if you plan to carpet it.

I plan to shamelessly steal your measurements and design. Been looking for exactly this kind of design.

Can’t wait to see the next video of your rig hittin the trails this weekend. Cheers 🍻
Perfect. Simple & easy. Thanks for posting. This will probably keep me from a rear seat delete kit as well. I'm getting my TRMR rack in a week or so, and also an ikamper 3.o mini RTT in a couple months. Thanks again!

Of course, I hope it helps! I just got my TRMR rack installed and it is the BEST!
Very helpful. Best design I’ve seen so far. Will likely duplicate it when my Braptor gets built next month.

Congrats on the braptor! Im glad I could help. Let me know if you have any questions on it
Just found your channel.i did a similar this with my outlander but had a full size spare behind the drivers seat.i created a flat bed but also internal storage
Nice. I had considered this as an option, but at 6’2”, maybe not. Considering a hammock from the front as a desperate option. I’ve seen it done in Wranglers. My ultimate plan is a trailer with tent on top. To drop it off at a base camp seems more ideal than a rack and tent on top to me. Subscribing to follow your progress.

I think that is how I’m leaning as well. It’d be nice to have a trailer to store everything in and like you said, set up base camp and go explore. But either way it’ll be nice to have that level area back there. Thanks for subbing!
Thanks for this video! Im looking for a way to level mine out. Wondering how to fashion it so I can have access to the upper storage-dont want any wasted space 🤔If you think of a way let me know before I build this! lol
I built one similar to yours a lil higher so it sits level all the way I’m 6’4 and can stretch right out back there
Thank you for providing the details, measurements and angles of the cuts! I also shamelessly copied your design and it works great. Same specs for Bronco Raptor. Hope to run into you in the mountains or the neighborhood. I owe you a beer or 6!

Sweet I’m so glad it worked for you! Really nice to have that level platform
That looks good. I've thought about the Ford tailgate table that slides out and levels out that area..... THE PRICE THOUGH! Maybe I'll end up going with this same fix if i don't decide to do the rear seat delete.
Gonna try my best to build this with some mild upgrades still trying to workout the design and features I want. Once I finished my build I’ll make sure to post it for everyone.
Nice video - thanks for putting it together! I think I will duplicate this. I need the option to sleep in the vehicle when a RTT isn't an option. For once I think being 5'6" will finally come in handy.

Haha oh yeah that’s the perfect height for this setup! Nice and cozy
Deep sleep makes a mattress push up the driver seat all the way and it works perfectly im 6’1” and I have room to spare

If this was gonna be my sleeping situation more long term I 100% would have gone that route. But nice to have a level storage area regardless
Hello! Thanks for sharing this simple design. Which air mattress did you use?

My pleasure! I honestly don’t remember. It was off Amazon for like $100 but it would not hold air at all
Bronco beard!
Have you weighed it with a full tank to establish a baseline so you know how much weight all your accessories end up weighing? That would be helpful to others on what to expect when spec-ing out their builds.

No i haven’t. I need to go to the dump soon though so I could do that then lol
Just spray the wood with some black paint and it would look really good. I love DIY stuff.
