Our next project involved upgrading the Ford Bronco with a multifunctional overland drawer system with a sleeping platform. The setup includes two cargo drawers and a slide-out drawer designed for a portable fridge, while also allowing the entire system to be used as a comfortable sleeping platform.
Cargo Drawer System for Ford Bronco
Inside the drawers, adjustable dividers provide convenient gear organization, while rubber mats help prevent stored items from shifting while driving. The fridge slide is compatible with the Dometic CFX3 35, CFX5 35, Yolco GCX37, as well as other models of similar dimensions.
Aluminum Drawer System Construction
The entire system is built around an aluminium frame made from structural profiles, providing excellent stability and resistance to heavy loads. The upper section and infill panels are made from aluminium, while the usable top surface is finished with sound-dampening carpet. The drawers feature locking mechanisms for secure use in both the open and closed positions.
Integrated T-slots allow additional lighting, off-road accessories and expedition gear holders to be easily mounted. The complete system is installed directly into the vehicle’s factory mounting points.
Ford Bronco Drawer System with Sleeping Platform
A key feature of this configuration is the ability to transform the storage system into a full-size sleeping platform. A dedicated space for a portable power station has also been incorporated, making the setup a practical base for longer journeys, overlanding adventures and camping.
Expedition Shelf and MOLLE Panels Set for Bronco
We also made use of the space under the roof by installing a lightweight overhead storage shelf, designed for storing smaller and lighter gear within easy reach. Its construction works well both during off-road driving and in everyday use. The setup is complemented by interior MOLLE panels mounted next to the windows, providing additional space for organizing gear and accessories.
Additional functionality comes from an onboard air system powered by two compressors, discreetly installed in the space beneath the storage system.
