How to Utilize Your Bronco's Roof Space: A Roof Rack Buying Guide
Introduction
Hey there, fellow Bronco enthusiast! If you're tired of cramming all your camping gear, fishing rods, or surfboards inside your Bronco, it's time to think about using that awesome roof space.
Sometimes, as your family grows or your hobbies expand, your trusted Bronco may struggle to carry everything you need. Have you ever had to give up skis or tents because you couldn't put them down? Or is your Bronco crammed and uncomfortable to drive? We've all had that experience. Finding enough storage space can be a challenge. Instead of upgrading to a new car, why not retool your gear, invest in some storage management kit, or better yet, add some roof rails, cross bars or racks? Whether you're planning a camping trip, starting a road adventure, or need to transport equipment, having the right roof rack can make your adventure easier. At BROADDICT, we're all about making your Bronco experience top-notch because, well, we’re Bronco fanatics too!
Understanding Roof Attachments
Definition and Functions
Alright, let’s break it down in simple terms:
Roof Racks: These bad boys are custom-installed across your roof. They’re perfect for heavy-duty stuff and give you loads of versatility. Roof racks, by comparison, act as a carrier for your goods. They come as a set of crossbars or roof bars and often a platform or rack of some description. This platform can be a cargo box, a kayak rack, or even a modular rack system. The cross roof bars mount to the existing roof rails found on the vehicle.
Roof Rack Cross Bars: Mounted across the roof, they support various cargo and accessories, making them super handy for all sorts of adventures.
Roof Rack Rails: These usually come with your Bronco and run lengthwise along the roof. They’re good for lighter loads and for attaching extra bars if needed.
Key Differences
- Mounting Direction:Roof rails go lengthwise, roof racks and crossbars go across. Easy peasy!
- Weight Capacity:Roof rails are for lighter stuff. Roof racks are like the bodybuilders of the roof world – they can handle the heavy loads.
Roof Rails
Who Needs Roof Rails?
Roof rails run along the length of your Bronco and are usually factory-installed. They can handle around 50–60kg, so they're great for lighter loads. If your Bronco already has roof rails, adding roof bars and accessories is a piece of cake.
Advantages and Ideal Use Cases
- Easy to Attach:Perfect for mounting additional bars and light accessories.
- Light Cargo:Ideal for small camping gear, light luggage, and occasional use.
Examples:
- Weekend camping gear.
- Small luggage for road trips.
- Lightweight sports gear.
