Chicago Area Broncos

New to the group. Looking forward to joining some meetups and meeting you all. I’ll be coming from the far west ’burbs, if you can consider 40 miles away a suburb still!

Hope everyone’s keeping warm… newb here and looking forward to learning things Bronco and offroading.

Hello! I’m a traveling healthcare worker and I’m currently in Peoria. Was hoping to do a meet up maybe even find some trails in the area. Willing to do some traveling for some fun off-roading. Anyone got suggestions?

Flew to Toledo Ohio to pick up my 23 Heritage Bronco. Absolutely love it and glad to join the club

Hi, everyone, I'm Paul from Arlington Heights. May I request reputable and experienced mechanic/shop referrals to install a 2" lift kit on my 2022 4D Black Diamond? Thanks in advance.

Here's my 2023 Base (with 17-inch rims and 32-inch tires from the Big Bend trim). I live in the city (SW Side), and even with just 32-inch tires, it barely clears my garage (see pic at bottom).

My goal is to make this as off-road worthy as possible (maybe add 33-inch LT-rated tires later) while still fitting in my garage. And I'm glad my 7-speed gets decent fuel highway economy (much better than EPA rating) when driven with a steady right foot.

One of these days, I'm going to try taking it to tailgate at a Bears' game. Cargo space looks tight on the 2-door, but it can still pack a surprising amount of stuff (i.e. a 59-quart fridge and an electric smoker)!

Reminder, Plainfield cruise night is today and it's Bronco night. You'll want to get there early as it is always packed.

Hello new to the club, live out in the West burbs. I have a 2023 Outer Banks Sas 4 door.
Want to see if anyone has done a spare tire delete kit? The 35” tire is too big for the back in my opinion.

Also ~ selling my factory running boards

Super fortunate this is my 2nd Bronco had 2022 too - non Sasquatch. If you are even considering- go with the Sasquatch!

Finally got it! Worth the wait!

Hello Chi-Town I picked up Big Chuck Saturday 6/11

Anybody know of a place to get the grill letters painted?

I expect to get my Bronco in the spring but need a place to store my other car. I am in the northwest burbs, does anyone know of any reasonably priced car storage units in the area?

Hello Chicago!

Great week last week! Out of Dirt Mountain and into my garage.

I'll kick it off. I had a Bronco II as my first car in 1998. Had to reserve a new one when I saw they were coming back. Scheduled production was originally 9/13, now 10/18. Hoping to maybe have my Big Bend by Thanksgiving 2021. We'll see how the non-sasquatch handles snow/sleet/ice.
