Ohio Bronco Club

Any one headed to Super Cell East next week?

Hey, all!

Does anyone have suggestions/recommendations for fun roads/trails to check out in the south west part of Ohio? I'm thinking old roads, dirt roads, and so on.

Thanks!

I have to work on Saturday, but plan on checking this out on Sunday... anyone else going?

Rivalry Week!! GO BUCKS!!! BTTUN

Hey all -
I'm a new Bronco owner (2-door hardtop Black Diamond/Sasquatch) and I'm looking to connect with people who might be doing off-road trips and/or just meeting to talk Bronco stuff (recommended add-ons, tips, cool merchandise, etc). I live in the Dayton Wright-Patt AFB area, but if you guys get together to meet in person, I could drive for a meet/gathering.
So far, I've only been doing relatively trivial customization (e.g. Molle panels on the interior to stow gear) - I've only had it a few weeks.
I'm super-interested in meeting some folks for off-road trips, or recommendations for off-road destinations. I'm going to restrict myself to relatively mild trails for a while until I get an intuitive sense of where the vehicles' corners are, and where its tires touch the trail (don't want to damage a new vehicle from simple unfamiliarity). I've got some experience off-roading, but haven't done it in a while (3/4 ton full-size pickups are ungainly at best on trails).
Other random questions you guys might be able to help with...
- has anyone been able to find a Bimini (aka "Bikini") top for rain protection with top-off? Running w/out the front half of the roof is cool, but I'd really like to put a hoist on the garage ceiling to remove the back half of the hardtop. But to do that, I want some rain protection for the dash/center-console against pop-up T-storms, and inaccurate weather forecasts (you know the weather here: "If you don't like it, wait half and hour").
- I originally wanted a Badlands for the push-button sway-bar disconnect. I got impatient and bought a vehicle the dealer had in stock (hence the Black Diamond instead of Badlands). Any advice/info on disconnecting Bronco sway-bars before heading out on the trail? I go off-roading as the guide with a Jeep-buddy, and I'm hoping manual sway bar disconnect is as simple on a Bronco as it is on a Jeep, but I'm worried, since Bronco is independent suspension.
- Any other tips, tricks, advice...

Just wanted to make a recommendation. 2-door Broncos are a bit minimal in the back storage space. This is an awesome solution, and alternative to having your gear rattling around loose in the back, or hidden in packs and duffle-bags you have to search through. BuiltRight MOLLE kit is great. Reattaching after removing the roof should be super easy. Attached is a photo of the installed kit, sans gear (hence the pack and duffle bag). I've got some gear bags and mounts on order. I'll try to post another photo when I get my gear installed on the MOLLE.

Anyone in central or southwest Ohio have a recommendation for Xpel stealth PPF? I've been looking around, and the one quote I got back was pretty outrageous, based on some of the other posts I've seen on the forum. I know it's not going to be cheap, but wasn't expecting $8-$9K...maybe I'm just wrong? Wouldn't be the first time.

Anyone going to the Smokey Mountain Bronco Stampede in Pigion Forge on August 19th?

Does anyone here have forscan and used it during a sound system uograde?

My wife got a 2023 Big Bend with the 6 speaker(sub delete) I wanted to get the 6.5” pods but I’m reading that you have to change it from tweeter to speaker using forscan.

I’m in the Cleveland area, just putting a feeler out for a light assist.

Ok EG moar door getting cozy with my rig at Alum Park boat ramp… I see you!

I posted this in the Broncos for sale tab, not sure how it shows up. So, I'll post in here as well. Remove if not allowed.

I have a 23' WT 354A 2 door available for sale here at the dealership. New. MSRP +$1716 for 5 year ceramic/ leather protection and diamond fusion windshield protection. $64,401 +ttl


My GM will most likely do A/Z plan plus the protections. Let me know if anyone is interested! He is tired of looking at it on the lot!

I just joined this group. I'm from Pickerington and a member of the Central Ohio group.

Don't know if anyone has driven their Bronco on a long road trip yet. We attended our Son's wedding in McKinney TX last month. We drove approximately 2,200 miles there and back. I've driven a lot of vehicles on long distance trips and the Bronco is without a doubt the most comfortable. On the was back I was ready to do the whole trip in a day but the wife wouldn't hear it. The only thing is, we did end up with a chip and a crack in the windshield. My seat is a little rippled. I thought the heavy duty vinyl would hold up a lot better. By the time we got back we averaged 17.8 miles to a gallon. I think the MPG would be better with 92 octane. All in all, I, we, are very pleased with our Bronco.

Anyone have a 7 Speed manual transmission that they had to get repaired at Ford AutoNation Westlake recently for TSB 22-2371?

Yes! So stoked!

Anyone have knowledge of off-road parks or trails around the Canton area? Would love to take the rig out on some trails nearby. Thanks!

Good to see this group. We are in Cols.

Anyone planning on going? Im 99% sure im going down... might be kinda nice to have a lil bronco convoy traveling south. I plan on going strictly for the vendors and doing some trail riding... and of course partake in the beverages.... prolly get a room somewhere close by down in Gatlinburg and drive over every morning.

After looking at this picture, I have been debating on swapping my sasquatch wheels for BD wheels....what do you all think?

Hey everybody!

I'm getting ready to move in a few weeks and have started to sell off a bunch of stuff I won't have room for. I have a set of 4 Door OEM rockrails that I had removed 2 months into ownership for my Rockslide Engineering steps. I was about to list them on facebook marketplace as well as the marketplace here. Let me know if you're interested. No dents or scratches and they've been garaged ever since I had them removed. Thinking of selling for $200. If you're interested please let me know.

Not sure if there is a way to search in these clubs, so I apologize if this has been asked.

Any bronco owners from the Toledo area that can recommend a dealer where they paid MSRP? Want to order in the next year or so.

Appreciate any help
