Blanco Bronco Adventures - Build in Progress

[Blancobroncoadventures]

Thanks for stopping by and checking out our Bronco! Derick and Monica here. Our love of Broncos began back in high school with a 1984 Bronco II which we still daily drive. We've also taken in a 1968 Ford Bronco project recently! When we heard they were coming out with a new Bronco we just had to order one. We were a day one reservation along with many of you. Although the Bronco was originally ordered in Velocity Blue, we ended up changing it to Oxford White right before it was built. After a lengthy wait, we picked up the Blanco Bronco in Soda Springs, Idaho in July of 2022 and haven't stopped driving it.

Sitting at forty-three thousand miles, we've traveled to 13 states (basically the entire west coast) and driven our fair share of off-road trails along with our three young sons. We started a Facbook page, Instagram page and a YouTube channel dedicated to our adventures and have enjoyed every second of sharing our life. Most importantly, the amazing folks we've met along the way have changed our lives for good.

I don't think this build will ever be done, but we'll keep adding, deleting and modifying to see if we ever get there. We are proud to say that we've installed all of these upgrades ourselves . If you need tips, tricks or help with any of the items below, we've installed them all at least once (some more than once!).

As a WT owner I keep wanting to address my lacking Swaybar disconnect. I don't see anything on your list about that. Are you still stock when it comes to the swaybar?

 

[popo_patty]

Oh hey, been wondering when you would make it over here welcome to the shenanigans.

 

[Arokcrwlr]

Have enjoyed your YT vids...

I love Soda Springs, ID - is that where you're from?

We have not changed anything when it comes to the sway bar. The Rock Jock setup looks like one of the best options out there, but we've toyed with the idea of just completely doing away with a sway bar recently. We'll see what happens!

Thank you so much! We bought our Bronco there, but we live in Pocatello, ID.

Welcome friends. Glad to see you guys over here. You need to come out to Arizona for some winter wheeling

I like the DV8 overhead molle. Do you mount a radio to it? If yes how do you run power to it?

 

[Ninjak]

Welcome to the site. Enjoy the "how to" videos. Keep it going!

Hey! Watched your video on the RC High Mount Winch Mount, have you been able to go off-roading with it? Curious to see how it does with you, considering putting it on my Braptor.

We'll be adding a radio up there soon! We'll also make a new YouTube video on the installation process and how we end up routing the wiring.

Hey there! We haven't done any heavy winching quite yet, but we're headed to United by Bronco at the end of the month. It'll get a good workout on that trip and we'll be sure to report back with an update!

This is awesome! I used to live up Mink Creek! (in Boise now) What a great build. I am really looking forward to meeting you guys and checking out that Bronco. Watched only a couple of your vids so far. I am looking forward to watching many more. I think you are planning to make that trip to the tri-cities in May... I am hoping to make that. Planning on it for now.

Warning... I am going to crawl all over that bronco... trying to get ideas for my own.

 

[AndGerry]

Nice build that I’ll be watching. Hope to also start checking out your YT channel. BTW, can you also share the link for the lights above the front bumper?
