Bronco Tool List: If you're building out a tool roll this list is for you.

mathesonmd

I just took delivery of the Boxo KOH kit and it is phenomenal. I priced out all the tools on the original list individually from Tekton and a few other sources and the Boxo kit had basically everything with a few things I hadn't thought to add, plus a well organized bag and tool roll, all for less than what you'd pay for the individual items. The tool quality is first rate. If you are wanting a complete offroad toolkit, this is as easy as it gets.

I got it as well, and I agree it's high quality and very complete. All I had to add was theTP and the 27mm,but I had those already.

I think you will find the tie rods can be swapped using the adjustable wrench and the locking pliers. It has the Torx plus bits for the various "Bronco bolts," deep impact sockets for lug nuts or other high torque fasteners, and a breaker bar. What other fasteners do think are missing?

Full disclosure, I work for the company that manufactured the OEM Bronco tool kit and am genuinely curious. I can also answer or get the answers to any questions you might have on the tool kit. I cannot comment on Ford's business decisions or prices on the kit. We have been getting some great feedback on the kits from buyers and have had zero returns so far. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers.

If I was King—which... I'm not... probably a good thing. But if I was, I would have done the following...

• Remove the 13/16" socket
  • Don't even know what this would be used for. Only thing that comes to mind is spark plugs, but the Bronco has 5/8" plugs. But maybe I'm missing something.
• Add TP-45
  • Used throughout the Bronco
• Add 35mm impact socket
  • Used for the wheel hub nuts
• Spare fuses
• Accessory Belt Install/Removal tool
  • Both the 2.7L and the 2.3L have accessory belts that do not have a belt tensioners as part of the belt path—they're stretch fit. So the only way to install the belt is with a tool

The 2.7L owners might also appreciate a 27mm for the oil filter housing, but I'll leave it up to them to fight that battle.

I guess it depends on if the goal is to be the one toolkit needed to work on the Bronco, of it the goal is to be the emergency trail tool roll. If it's the former, then I'd expect all of the weird sizes and tools needed to work on the Bronco that wouldn't be in a "normal" toolkit, like the 35mm socket. If it's the latter, then there are bunch of things I wouldn't put in the kit—like the spark plug gap tool—and replaced with items that would be actually useful on the trail—like spare fuses and some of the items from the BOXO kit that was discussed earlier in this thread.

I'm sure there is a price point that Ford forced you to hit. But overall, I personally would expect a vehicle-specific tool kit to have all of the weird oddball tools needed that are specific to that vehicle. Granted some of the stuff is just ultra high-dollar specialty Ford tools that only the dealer would have. But something like the accessory belt installation/removal tool is something you could definitely see someone out on the trail needing if their accessory belt snapped.

----

BUT ANYWAY, I ordered it from a local dealer about a month ago... because I'm a sucker for anything with a Bronco logo. So you guys already got me. 😉

Not sure if I will just keep this as a cool Bronco merch thing or if I'll actually replace my existing tool roll with it. Will depend on the tool quality and how I feel about it when it actually arrives. But either way, I'll probably do a video on it for YouTube at some point for those curious.

It's an awesome setup, in my opinion. Nice work there, @EriktheCabonizedGray. I ordered the tool roll from Ford Performance but they were out of inventory. Is Motley also out of stock? Their site doesn't indicate that, but one never knows until the order is placed.

I was hoping to enjoy the 15% monthly discount from Ford Performance and free shipping, but all I got was a notification that the item was on backorder. I still want one!

You can order from either Ford or Motley. Ford had an IT switch that needed to be flipped for the kits to be green-lit. That switch has been flipped and, from my understanding, should be good to go as of yesterday. Personally, I would get my 15% off through Ford. Either way, you might want to look at our Motleyind.com website for other Bronco accessories. Shameless plug.

Thanks for the heads up and the explanation, @EriktheCabonizedGray! And no worries about the plug; I’m a fan of the soft sell.

I haven't found a good list anywhere and as easy as it is to go buy a cheap tool set and hope for the best I found the time to document some of the specific tools I’ve used so far to work on my Bronco and finally build out my Bronco Specific tool roll. This also should cover tools needed for oil changes, removing a wheel and repairing/ replacing the tie rod (which I’ve not done). I’d call it a start of a minimum but not all inclusive list. This does not replace the Bronco provided toolkit. I’d recommend you keep that with you.

Comment below with any must have additions (and why). I'll update as needed.

• Wrenches
  
  • 10, 13, 16, 17, 19, 21 mm
• Sockets
  
  • Ratchet 3/8 drive minimum
  • Socket extensions 3/8 drive minimum, 1in, 3in
  • 8, 10, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18,19, 21, 27 mm
• Torx
  
  • T25, T30, T40,IP40 Torx Plus, T50
• Hex/ Allen
  
  • 5mm
  • 13mm - probably not needed
  • 5/32 or 4mm
  • * I’m sure this list is incomplete for some of the interior items
• Misc
  
  • Hammer
  • Adjustable Wrench Medium
  • Channel Locks Medium
  • Multi Screwdriver
  • Pry Flat Tip Screwdriver
  • Needle Nose
  • Zip Ties
  • Duct Tape Flat Roll
  • Boot Clamp Pliers
  • Torque wrench if possible
  • Bailing wire
  • Trim and Molding Tool Set
  • Vise-Grips

A few things that don't necessarily fit in a tool roll but I like to have if I'm going on a road trip or offroad:
-A battery powered impact driver with sockets and attachments, I also take the charger since the Bronco has an outlet.
-Extra air filters. I have a couple extra reusable ones I rotate, I usually go for a road trip to get to where I offroad so if there's dust I change the filter then put my road one back in after before getting back on the road so it's not choking. I prefer the reusable dry filters.
- Though rarely needed I like to have an ODB2 reader, if someone in your group gets a warning light a good one can help pinpoint what's needed like tightening a gascap or cleaning a MAF ect vs needing a tow not to grenade an engine. $30-$40 will get you a code reader but some research and $100-150 can get you a good one that can more precisely tell the issue and the fix in addition to giving real time diagnostics like each cylinder temp and fuel pressure ect.

Here is a bag I am using for tools. I am not sold on it and there is still one thing I am trying to solve.
It is a roll-bar bag. The issue is, that the left side down corner is free and does swing a little. I need to figure out a way to secure it. Any thoughts are welcome. There are 2 large compartments that are accessed from the left side on the end. They are a little hard to get to because they are behind the seat. They are also just open compartments so anything you put inside just stacks on each other. The divider between the 2 compartments is held in place by velcro so you can't put anything too heavy on the top because it might push the velcro down and everything in the top would all fall to the bottom compartment especially if riding on rough roads.

Insert a brass grommet in the loose corner, then attach a bungee cord and connect it to some convenient anchor.

Delivered! FWIW Motley currenty has 15% off. They are very responsive and super helpful. Gave up after waiting 2 months for Ford and canceled. Ordered from Motley late Saturday and 4 business days later I had new toys. I must admit I was on the fence since none of these tools are expanding on what I have. With that said I'm glad I'm a sucker for branding, this thing exceeds expectations. Even the packaging and box are top notch. The attention to detail is evident as even all the sockets were aligned to have the logos all facing the same direction out of the box. The tool quality is also better then I anticipated. I like that the pouches have room to add a few things too. Added some deep sockets and a 1/2" Ratchet along with some other sockets in case someone needs help that has different needs. Overall a nice selection with items that are all useful. Now I just need a Bronco branded impact. Lol.

That's cool, @OrangecrushBronco! I'm ordering mine through Motely. Ford let me down. Twice. The first time, I cancelled the (back-ordered item) because I was moving and didn't want it to be delivered to the wrong address. The second time, THEY cancelled the back-ordered item themselves! Hey, thanks for nothing! They didn't offer an option to wait longer for it, they just cancelled the order outright. I'll take advantage of the savings at Motley directly and get my Ford Pass points BACK, thank you. 😉

PS - @OrangecrushBronco, how did you get the 15% discount? I subscribed to their email newsletters, thinking they would send me confirmation and an offer on my first purchase (like many other companies), but haven't received a reply or found a discount on their site. Any help is appreciated!

(because I have some time on my hands)

@BuckYeah I think this code still works: MOTLEY15

Per Greg at Motley, the code works on any other item as well. Also, they give free shipping on items over $100.

Try MOTLEY15

(its what I used)

Thanks, guys! Consider it done. I’m really looking forward to getting this one-and-done (sorta) tool roll. I knew it was a sweet kit when I saw Melissa and Brian’s at their BBQ.

Thanks again, fellas! The discount code worked, and when combined with the free shipping, it’s a better deal than the one offered by Ford. 🤓

Yep, the kit is sweet and this whole Bronco branding is growing on me… 😂😅

I already had a Boxo KOH kit 🤭 that I will now be using as my garage toolset and the Bronco kit stays in the WT.

And that the code also works on other items in their store makes it a gift that keeps on giving, in case there’s anything else that catches your attention.
