Can you store all four doors in Bronco?
The Bronco is designed with removable doors, and it’s possible to remove and store all four doors on a four‑door model. With the right equipment and setup, you can keep the doors safely out of the way during off‑roading or doorless driving sessions. This article explains how it works, what you’ll need, and how much space you should expect.
Can you store all four doors in a Bronco?
Yes. The Bronco is built for door removal, and you can remove and store all four doors on a four‑door model using Ford’s official door‑off kit and protective door storage bags. Practical constraints, like interior space and roof configuration, will determine whether you can fit every door inside the vehicle at once, so plan accordingly.
How the Bronco enables door removal
Doors on the Bronco attach to removable hinges and are designed for quick detachment. When you remove a door, you typically use a dedicated kit that includes hinge bolts and fasteners, and you’ll need to address the electrical connections for mirrors and windows. Ford provides guidance and compatible accessories to help keep doors protected and secured when they’re off the vehicle.
Below are the essentials and considerations you should know before attempting to remove and store four doors.
What you need to remove and store doors
Before you start, gather the following items and plan for at least one assisting person. These items help protect the doors and keep them secure while stored:
- Door-off kit (Ford‑approved or equivalent) with hinge bolts and mounting hardware
- Door storage bags or cradles designed for Bronco doors
- Protective padding or blankets to prevent scratches
- Assistance from a second person for lifting and maneuvering
- A clear, flat space in a garage or cargo area to lay the doors down safely
With the right kit and careful handling, you can detach and protect all four doors so they’re ready for storage or transport.
Storage options and space considerations
Storage feasibility depends on your Bronco’s configuration (two‑door vs four‑door), roof type (hard top, soft top, or modular roof), and whether you need to keep the doors inside the vehicle or elsewhere. Here are common approaches and what affects them.
- In‑vehicle storage using door bags in the cargo area behind the second row (common for four‑door Broncos when the top is off) to keep doors protected and out of the way
- Storing doors at home or in a garage on a door rack or laid flat in protective padding when not in use
- Transporting doors with a trailer or another vehicle if interior space is insufficient
Space inside a Bronco varies by model year and roof configuration. While some owners can fit all four doors in the cargo area with the top removed and rear seats folded, others may find it crowded or impractical. Always test fit and use protective bags to avoid damage.
Summary
In summary, a Ford Bronco can have all four doors removed and stored, especially on the four‑door model, thanks to official door‑off kits and door storage bags. Real‑world feasibility hinges on the roof configuration and available interior space. Plan ahead, use the proper storage bags, and enlist a helper to minimize risk of damage. If space is tight, consider storing doors at home or using an external transport option during extended door‑off periods.
