Bronco Enthusiasts of Connecticut

I recently upgraded tires and have a full set of 5 stock Outer Banks, Bridgestone Dueler AT 255/70r18 available for sale if anyone is interested. Good condition with 18k worth of miles on the 4, no off-road and no flats. $750 OBO

So after @Dubsesd's post the other day, I decided to go checkout the single Connecticut trail to see if anything has changed.

In the Trail App it is called the Cockaponset State Forest Spruce Ledge Section.

Gates are still locked, BUT the road looks like it's seen traffic, so they must not be locked year-round.

I did walk it to see what it was like. If you were to apply the normal 1-10 trail rating system... this would be a somewhere between a 2 and 3 depending on weather. Nothing complicated at all, and your generic AWD crossover could easily complete the trail without issues.

Southern Gate:



Northern Gate:

Anyone know if you can actually off road here? It’s in the trail app. TIA

Hey everyone, I have a brand new, never used, Harken hardtop hoist for sale. We ended up putting the hardtop somewhere else and I can't return it, so just looking to get back some of the money I spent on it. I paid $225, selling for $150. Here is the amazon link to the exact one I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074DCJYVK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

HARKEN - Hardtop Overhead Garage Storage Hoist for Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco, Self-Leveling, Safe Anti-Drop System, Easy One-Person Operation, (Bonus T Knobs for Quick Hard Top Removal)

I'm located in the Southington/Cheshire, CT area.

Whose going to the Bronco Invasion? I’m leaving Friday night and will be there. Hopefully I’ll meet some of you there!

If anyone is interested in an awesome weekend (Oct 5-8) away, the former Vermont Overland weekend lives on as The Pilgrimage. This is a camping weekend with some of the coolest overland vehicles you can imagine with vendors and food available at the campsite where 250 vehicles and participants will camp out for three nights and depart each day in smaller groups for rides of various levels on Vermonts insane network of Class IV roads. there are only 37 tickets left.

Nitto Recon Grappler 37X12.50R17

If you have another suggestion for tires, I would appreciate that as well.

Wheels

Using current Sasquatch wheels are +30 offset on a 17x8.5 wheel

or

Getting aftermarket wheels:

Black Rhino Glacier 17x8 with a +35 MM Offset

Should I be using a wheel with zero offset to avoid rubbing at all or at full lock.?


Thank you.

Does anyone have a recommendation or good experience with a Ford service department somewhere between Stamford and Bridgeport? Apart from annual maintenance, I need to have my windshield recall done as well as have them take a look at the infamous manual transmission grinding sound. Thanks in advance.

Anyone have plans this Sunday?

Anyone want to attend? Im going already took that Saturday off. If we can organize a convoy that will be pretty cool.

Saturday May 23rd check it out.

On Friday I’m going to be installing my rock rails finally. @sjudas was kind enough to give me his factory running boards for free in the meantime. I will be offering this set to someone for free as well to pass it along. They will be located in Stratford first come first serve haha. Let me know if interested.

4 door with mounting hardware.

Thanks to @Dubsesd for the help with the new IAG Para Hex grille and light up letters. I'm pretty much set for now...until the next tweak bug hits.

it was Delivered to Park City yesterday. I am picking it up tomorrow. 1 year, 10 days. First upgrade will be OBX wheels, because I was gifted a set.

Anyone have Bronco plans this weekend?

Hey Group
Any Recommendations for aftermarket Aux switch / lighting installers in Fairfield County?

Set of standard fender flares. I switched to the Sas flares. Free to whoever wants them.

Alright guys. I just picked up my Bronco from @Dubsesd shop CT Window Film. I finally had full Matte PPF installed with some other goodies as well! Let me know what you think. I can definitely go to the mall parking lots now and not worry about any trial damage!

In addition to the PPF they installed Ditch lights, Fog lights, Bronco grille lights and most importantly an ARB compressor mounted under the hood so I can air up and down my tires for the sand when I go on the beaches!.

once again thanks @Dubsesd for getting this done it came out great. I recommend everyone to check him out.

Hola crew, so I’m putting in Alpha Rex’s Raptor headlights next week and didn’t know if anyone wants the Outer Banks Signature LED headlights that I’m taking off before I go tossing them on the forums.

Guys I recommend you all use @Dubsesd for your PFF and other Bronco modifications. He did a great job for me installing my light bar. I totally recommend him.

@SavSqch I saw yours... looks badass with the mat finish...

To all, if anyone would like to join me at the King of the Hammers please let me know. I will be driving my Bronco Raptor to Johnson Valley, CA for the King of the Hammers 2/8-2/11. If anyone wants to join me either for the drive or the event please let me know.

Rausch Creek trip 12/3/22

Guys I am organizing a group to visit Rausch Creek on December 3rd. Everyone is invited if you want to join.
Please let me know if you’re interested.

added the IAG Faux Hood Scoop, with @Dubsesd’s help of course! For 1/3 the cost, it looks as good if not better than Ford’s faux scoop.

Now I’m thinking Fender Flares in Matte Black to complete the black lines/accents. Any suggestions?

Who has a good outfitter in the area? I need someone to install a light bar for me... I'd appreciate any recommendations.

Hi guys I am excited to say I am no longer waiting for my Bronco!!!

I’m no longer sidelined so anyone got plans coming up?

So I made a logo for my OBX. I named her “Samson’s Jawbone”, waiting to get my car magnet so I can slap it on the door!
