Your Bronco’s new favorite upgrade 🐎 Trail-tested dash rails and mounts that go wherever you do.

New Bronco, New Business

Buck Rails started in 2021, inspired by the release of the sixth-generation Ford Bronco. While waiting for his own Bronco to be built, our founder Charley began tinkering with an idea. Ford had teased a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) rail on their prototype Bronco—but it never made it to production.

Charley decided to take matters into his own hands. He designed a one-piece version of the original concept and pushed it further—adding camera mounts, true end-to-end rail capacity, built-in wire management, and a full lineup of premium, fully compatible accessories.

Originally launched under the name “Buck Your Bronco,” the brand evolved into Buck Rails in 2023 to better reflect what we build: tough, high-quality mounting systems made for the Bronco—and whatever comes next.

The beginning

Charley’s story starts with his first vehicle—a 1978 Bronco he called "Brutus." As a teenager on a tight budget, he spent countless hours under the hood pretending to be a mechanic and learning through old-fashioned trial and error. Those early days with Brutus taught him more than just how to turn a wrench—it's where his passion for Broncos began.

Heat, Metal, and Ambition

Charley went to trade school with one goal in mind—to learn how to make cool stuff for his Bronco. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a lifelong craft. That passion carried him all the way to earning a master’s degree in Welding Engineering. And yes, it's a real thing.

Full Throttle Learning

While studying at UCF, Charley led the design and build of Baja SAE cars—off-road machines engineered from the ground up by students. It was hands-on, high-octane work that made engineering school feel more worthwhile.

Following his own path

After working for several Fortune 500 companies, Charley realized corporate life wasn’t for him. With his engineering background, hands-on experience, and lifelong Bronco passion, Charley is the perfect person to help add some buck to your Bronco. He knows it’s more than just a vehicle—it’s part of your identity, your adventures, and the memories that stick with you for a lifetime.
