Bronco Nation’s short films will enhance your appreciation of Ford’s ingenious engineering.

Since most parts of the country are dealing with winter weather, the fan group Bronco Nation teases fans with the idea of ​​doorless Bronco and open-air exploration in a warm climate. Through its YouTube channel, Bronco Nation’s latest video shows how to disassemble and store the doors of Ford’s highly anticipated SUV. The five-minute clip is the fifth in this group of useful Bronco operations video series. Host Jon Melton showed a sharp-looking four-door wasteland model in Area 51 paint. He made the door disassembly process look simple and easy, and the steps were simple. This is undoubtedly partly due to Ford's ingenious engineering and strong desire to upgrade the Jeep Wrangler.

Although the setup of the cargo area is shown in the middle of the video, it is ideally the first step in the door removal process. The storage bag system is a $350 option and is only available for hardtop Broncos. The package includes a separate zipper bag for the front roof panel and each of the four doors, as well as a fixed wiring harness. The audience was first instructed to install and hand-tighten the eye bolts into the diagonal support tube of the roll cage. The safety belt is connected to the eye bolt and cargo ring.

As the video progresses, viewers will see the ongoing steps to properly load the door in the cargo hold-this is a simple Tetris game. The video also shows the final stages of storing all four doors in the fixed straps of the cargo area.

The video first states that the driver should roll down the window first. From there, the door wire connector is released and stored. The next steps include removing the upper and lower hinge bolts.

Melton wisely recommends putting a suitable storage bag on the door before removal. When separated from Bronco, the protected door is unlikely to be damaged. Next, he lifted the covered door from the hinge and brought it to the cargo area.

Melton warned that even though the doors are detachable, they are heavy. Each front door weighs approximately 60 pounds, and the rear door weighs approximately 45 pounds.

Reinstalling the door is simple and mostly the reverse of the removal process. However, the video advises owners to pay attention to the square weld nuts on the top of each hinge. This square shape requires the door to be reconnected only at a 90 degree angle (perpendicular to the body).
