Hey Y’all, I’m a FNG here thought I’d say hi! Any meet ups planned, or off-road events coming up? I got my 23 Badlands with Roush package early November, it’s def a badass Bronco. Looking forward to meeting any and all you Emerald Coasters.

Cheers 🍻

Already have them. PandaMotors had them for $1499, no tax and free shipping. Was a great deal. H&H doesn't have shop time till the 5th of Nov., so got to wait until later to install.

I went to Mike Ryan's they ordered and installed on my Bronco in 24 hours, did a good job, they sent else where for the alignment after coil installation, less impressed on how that turned out. Would go back to Mike Ryans again for sure.

Can’t seem to post an event properly in the Events section, so here we go!!
————————————
Now that SuperCel is over, here’s your reminder for the next event hosted by the Lower Alabama & Panhandle Chapter of the GCBA! This will be a really fun event with some off-roading & a great seafood lunch! Let’s take a drive through the Point Washington State Forest!

The plan is to meet up at 9am for “Bronco Talk” at the Cumberland Farms Gas Station with the Burger King in it at 6805 US-98, Santa Rosa Beach, FL, for some fellowship & to see what folks have been doing with their rigs.

Then, we’ll head out on the forest trails for around 1.5 hours. After some trails, we’ll head over to AJ’s Grayton Beach for seafood lunch & fellowship around noon. Restaurant address is 63 Defuniak St, Santa Rosa Beach, FL. After lunch we’ll head out for round 2 of trail riding.

Please click either of the links for more details. Planned route is attached. Please comment here if interested so I can get an approximate head count for the restaurant. Hope to see ya there!

Does anybody live near Panama City Beach, have the ForScan system, and know how to use it?

I would really love to...
*turn off my double honk,
*unlock my rear speakers,
*and maybe a couple more...

If you are willing to help out, please hit me up. I'm finally starting to see more Broncos around my area.

Well, I finally got a VIN and scheduled for 8/1/22, so hopefully I will have my Bronco by mid September or so. Figured I would join this group since it looks like it may finally happen! I have a 4 door Wildtrack Eruption Green MIC hardtop, LUX, Tow Package, HD Bumper, and Tube Steps on order. I can't believe it is FINALLY happening, I was originally a 7/20/20 reservation, so its been a long wait!

Hey everyone! I lead the Lower Alabama & Panhandle Chapter of the Gulf Coast Bronco Association. We have events at least once a month. Our next event will be a Bronco Meetup at the Grayton Brewing Company in Santa Rosa Beach on Nov 4th at 11am to get to know other Bronco owners and check out how they’ve modified their rides. On Dec 16th, we’ll be heading over to the “Show & Shine of the Emerald Coast” at 9am at the Hooters in Destin. More info may be found at https://www.gulfcoastbroncoassociation.com/

Hope to see you soon! Please let me know if there are any events you’d like to have in your area. We’re planning the first 6 months of 2024 now. 😁

I need new tires. Does anybody have any take Offs they want to offload for a low price? I can't spend much, but would love something better than Stock base rims.
Either rims with tires or 16" tires.

I have a set of OBX takeoffs that has the Bridgestone Duelers. I would sell $900 for all 5. Wheels and tires, I’m in Lower Alabama, about 15 miles from FL line. They are 18” with the Black/Silver combo. Replying to Monday’s post by @Kyukidoeric
pandapaul
Howdy, friends. I'll be replacing my sasquatch suspension and possibly the wheels and tires on the 25th of this month. I'm located in Tallahassee, and wondering if anybody within driving range would want them. Wouldn't be free, but they'd be very reasonably priced. Lemme know. 😊 👋

Side note: @BroncBro, yell at me if I shouldn't post this. 😬

Edit: 11,845 miles on them currently.
Edit2: I should be more specific. Suspension components being replaced:
  • Coilovers
  • Front upper control arms
  • Rear control arms (upper and lower), track bar, and sway bar end links

Took the Green Machine on a cruise down to Johnson Beach this past weekend with the top down and the front doors off. I feel like a kid driving around in a huge golf cart!

Looks great, love the green. Did you upgrade your tires? What size and did you need spacers?
JakeMangan
JakeMangan
@96GreenBronco yes I did. I got 35x12.5 r17 BFG All Terrain KO2s with a rough country 1inch leveling kit. No spacers

That looks great, I was in 30a a couple of weeks ago. So a Badlans with the 1" Rouch Countrysits higher than a sasquatach right? The badlands is .43" lower stock so I figured it must be higher. I plan on getting some 305/65r18s (33.7x12) with 0 offset wheels and hoping I clear the crash bars...
JakeMangan
JakeMangan
@Bronco56 Yes, a non sasquatch with leveling kit sits higher than a regular sasquatch badlands. It clears my 35 inch tires with no rubbing but that is without the crash bars. I had the dealership install the tires as soon as it got delivered and they removed them during install. I am not sure if they rubbed with the crash bars or not but I would assume your 33s would work even with them on.
Sethtsmith
Finally took deliver this past monday! Now to get the mods done and start hitting the trails. Shout out to Marco Barlow at World Ford Pensacola. Great guy to work with and honored MSRP and made the buying process easy and painless.

Gulf Coast Bronco Meet and Ride Details:

Quick Admin Notes:

- Meeting at the Harold Store at 1300 (1 PM). We will convoy over to the trailhead at 1315
- The address is located at 10535 US-90, Milton, FL 32583
- Make sure to fill up your gas tanks and bring lunch/snacks to enjoy along the route
- I have a two-way radio (x2) for quick and easy comms between us. If you have one, recommend bringing it and we will square away the channels when we meet. If anyone needs one, they can borrow one of mine
- There will likely be other folks out riding the trails (and maybe Jeepers). Please be respectful and have fun!
- I will be bringing my Drone and taking lots of photographs/videos.

The Trail:
- The trail itself is considered EASY. There are no heavy technical spots, however, there are a few spots where you could potentially get stuck. I have an off-road recovery kit, and I am sure there will be other Broncos with additional off-road recovery capability. We did get a substantial amount of rain last night, so expect your Broncs to come out dirty 😉
- I intend to take the same route that I did two weekends ago. This route is 20.56 miles long and takes roughly 3 hrs to complete. We WILL BE off the trails long before dusk.
- Recommend downloading the Gaia GPS app on your phone. It is CarPlay capable and is a great reference guide to see where we will be going along the route.

Conservancy Note:
- Roads are maintained by the Florida Park Service and are subject to change.
- We will NOT ride any roads that prohibit vehicles as per the signage posted (you'll see them, big white signs that say vehicles are prohibited).
- Remember to never litter and to always leave the area better than it was found.

Anyone interested in some trail riding in the upcoming weeks? A few dates that come to mind:
Sunday 7/3
Saturday 7/9
Saturday 7/16

We could do some of the trails in Blackwater State Forest. Hopefully we'll get some rain and it won't be as dusty.

Any chance for a meet up? I’m thinking about hitting the trails after picking up my bronco this Friday.

The best and most ideal date would be the Saturday after thanksgiving.

just tossing a feeler out there in case anyone wants to ride out at Eglin.

Greetings NW Floridians!

Looking to get an idea of the trails that are around Santa Rosa/Eglin area. I am coming home on leave in a couple weeks, where I'll be picking up my Badlands from the dealer. I NEED some real greenspace time after being overseas for the last 9 months.

Any suggestions/recommendations/maps are immensely appreciated!

Congratulations and welcome home. Eglin has by far the most land and you can get a recreation pass and ride the trails in all open areas. The link to the pass info is https://eglin.isportsman.net/OutdoorRecPermits.aspx. It is $30 per year but worth it if you like to get out. I have had the game warden ask me for my pass, so I do recommend if you choose Eglin.
They post daily map updates to show the open areas. Hope this helps.

Woop Woop! Got my sticker today! Blend date is 8/11, so next thursday it is finally coming down the assembly line. Can't wait to do a meet up with all of you!

Creeped on a 2-door A51 Big Bend at the car wash over the weekend, first 2dr I've seen in person (if that was someone in this group - apologies, but your doors were off and I wanted to know how little backseat leg room I'm inflicting on people before mine comes in 😂)
