No politics please. (also, no laughing at my .380 either😉)
I am on the hunt for a small gun safe for the Bronco. My needs are a bit different as I roll with the hard top off for several months at a time.. Being topless, I think I need a little extra security..
In my old JK I had an under the seat safe that bolted into the seat to body bolts. It was very heavy duty and very secure. No such option for the Bronco that I can find.
I thought about getting something made for a JK then just drill holes into the body to secure it down but the underside of the Bronco seat area looks to be riddled with bumps and humps that would prevent a flush fit...
I've considered the console safe but honestly that thing looks way to easy to pry open. I have not tested it, so maybe it's better than I think. I've also considered the rear cargo area safe which might be better as it's hidden under the rear cargo lift up mat area but this also looks like it would be very easy to pry open... There is also a headrest safe that looks okay.
These are the only options that I am aware of so feedback on those options, or if there are other options, would be great.
I don't need a quick draw / fast access option and am only looking for a very secure storage option. I have a CC permit so really the only time the firearm will be left in the Bronco is when going to areas where a firearm is not permitted.
The firearm is a Glock 42 .380 which is pretty small..
Thoughts for a topless Bronco?
