Hello!
New to the group and don't actually have a Bronco yet. My 23MY 2 order placed 3/27 hasn't been been built and odds aren't looking good it will happen before the switch to 24. I wanted to ask if anyone has any suggestions on a good bay area Ford dealer to work with to place a 24MY order. Thanks in advance!

I can’t say enough good things about Serramonte Ford. My Bronco purchase from them could not have gone smoother.

@DC9atnight I bought a Transit Connect minivan from them this summer and it went very well.

I had a fantastic experience with Shahram from Walnut Creek Ford. They were highly transparent and helpful throughout the entire process and delivery was as seamless as it gets.

Hey I'm thinking of purchasing some Mayhem Warrior 8015 wheels for my m/t 2022 Bronco. Any recommendations on a good shop (in the North or East bay) that can install them, using my current tires and TPMS? I'm asking as I want to be careful about going to a random tire shop and hoping they know what they're doing....

First time doing Signal Peak trail. Highly recommend for a mix of everything. Will definitely be doing it again.

Esprit de Four is holding its semi-annual offroading clinic on 9/16 - it's perfect for first-time offroaders, as the classroom portion goes over proper driving technique, as well as that for recovery, and related accessories... all this followed by hours of on-trail practice and fun! Here's a YouTube video about it:

We currently have two Broncos signed up (total of 40 spots); I'll be working as a volunteer at the event, so am looking forward to meeting more Bronco owners!

Hi everyone -

I see that the Ford Performance Tune is now legal in California. Does anyone know of a dealer that will install it?

Thanks!

Quick updates on cost: Morgan Hill = $530. Walnut Creek = $270.

I'm not sure if Morgan Hill realizes it's a software only tune, but they would not budge on price. So, Walnut Creek it is!

@Shazamalingo I'm still going to call them and try and talk them down. But I'm not adverse to going elsewhere if they still refuse to budge on that.

30 miles to Morgan Hill for me. 47 to Walnut Creek.
Worth the drive for me to Walnut Creek for $260 savings.

BTW - did we confirm 91 octane is good enough for the tune? Pretty impossible to get more than that around here.

Yesterday's run to Big Sur's Old Coast Road was a blast, with 25 Broncos attending. Join us next time!

Here's a video of a walk-thru during air-down on the side of Highway 1, near the southern trailhead:

Incredibly, out of 25 rigs, seven were Cyber Orange; I'd never seen that many together before.

How to best an awesome wheeling run in Hollister than downing some yummy donuts in two weeks? That's what Central Coast Broncos is doing on Sat. 8/26, at Cruel Donuts in San Mateo. But wait, there's more - after we're sugared up, we'll head out on SR-92, and on over to Alice's Restaurant and act like sports cars. Lunch in Felton is a possibility (I know just the spot). No wheeling, but some sporty Bronco-driving w/the top down - just as good, imo. Come with a full tank of gas, and a GMRS radio set to Ch. 17. We'll be expecting 'ya! (If you're coming, indicate "Go" on the event page)

Meet at Cruel Donuts at 10 AM, Sat. 8/26.

Central Coast Broncos is planning its annual trek to Big Sur's Old Coast Road trail on Aug. 5 - join us for a very easy, but scenic run, with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and various local landmarks. We'll meet just outside of Monterey at 10 AM, at the Del Rey Oaks Starbucks (441 Canyon Del Rey Blvd., Del Rey Oaks, CA), head to Big Sur, and be back by noon in Monterey, enjoying burgers and fries. Easy day, very family-friendly. Visit our FB event page for details; I'll also post more when we get closer.

For those participating in Central Coast Broncos' Broncos On The Dunes next weekend, here are some logistics:

Our plan is to arrive in Pismo at/just before noon on Friday, grab a bite, and hit the dunes. We can then decide on where to have dinner (brewery, burger joint?), and then call it a day. Next morning, at 8 AM, we'll meet for donuts, and hit the dunes again (we're going to get really tired of dunes after this trip)! Bring lunch as we'll find a place to eat as a group on the sand - make a Bronco circle? Haha. More dune in the afternoon, or if people have other ideas, we'll see. Dinner together again, or separately. We'll also decide if we want to do more dunes on Sunday AM, but my plan is to begin trekking back to the Bay Area by 1 PM or so.

CARAVANING DOWN TO PISMO: I'll be taking Hwy. 101, hopping on just south of Gilroy - let's meet up at the offramp of SR 129 (there's a big dirt patch where truckers park/rest) at 8:30 AM. Let me know if you plan on caravaning so that I don't leave before your arrive. DM me your cell number.

For those driving down on their own, DM me your cell number as well so that I can keep track of where you are, and direct you to join us on the dunes or afterwards for dinner.

WHAT TO BRING: Radio (GMRS/Ham); Flag; Recovery Gear (tow strap; soft shackles; traction boards); Door bags if you plan on taking your doors off (I am!) - if you don't have a place to store your doors, you can bring and leave them at my Airbnb nearby on Saturday.

I'll checking here for questions throughout next week.

Exactly, about accommodations. There are a couple of campgrounds in the state park, and sites may open up if you keep checking; otherwise, try in-town, Grover City. I found an Airbnb when I booked a couple of months back, but it was already expensive (due to Father's Day weekend?). If you can make it, @_jeff , let me know if you want to caravan down - we have three rigs (so far) heading down together Friday morning.

Darn wish I could join this! I just did my first Hollister day and it was a blast in the Bronco. Would love to hit sand soon
Hello,

New to the group. Here’s my 2022 Wildtrak. I was a day 1 reservation and finally got it September 2022. Finally took the doors off last week.

I've driven in an outright down pour, top on, doors off and was hardly sprinkled on....😁

Welcome! Door off is really fun - some of us are headed to Pismo next weekend, and our group rule is that everyone's gotta take their doors off ;-)

@WheelMe that sounds awesome! I have zero experience off-roading so planning to go check out Hollister Hills first, before I hit any sand.

@WildOne I think that you can start with sand, too (it's not any more difficult than mud/ruts - rock-crawling is a different animal altogether, however); the important thing is to have other rigs out there with you, to help guide/recover you if you get stuck.

Definitely not a problem starting off with sand, you can always just cruise the beach and stay out of the dunes if you want. Even prius get out on the beach with no problem, its packed down well.

I’m selling a new retractable Trektop for the 4 door for $1850. It was an item I add on to my order and has never been used. If interested in buying, as a precaution for all parties, the transaction would need to take place at one of the Ford dealers in Contra Costa County.
Please feel free to message me for further inquiries.
