Outer Banks Beach Club

Anyone here in this group live or own a place in OBX?

Nice, I have a rental just south of you in Ocean Sands.

We have a house in Southern Shores. I get down there 2 or 3 times per year.

@Orf

@Orf That's where I'll retire, Southern Shores most likely.

@Frank N

@Frank N Our house is in Chicahauk. I find it more residential than most of the OBX. It is where I plan to retire in a few years.

I live in KDH, full time resident.

Where are all the Broncos in Carova, NC?

Unable to view attachment. Was hoping to go last month, but permits are sold out through 8-25

Can’t wait to wait to get her topless on the beach!

Our OBX on the OBX, doing OBX stuff..

To be continued..

Despite the weather, just wrapped up a fun weekend in Corolla 4x4. Saw some other Broncos out there! The surf was wild this morning.

I’ll be in OBX May 28. We will go to down to Hatteras and then on to Ocracoke to camp.

let me know if any of y’all will be there.

Take pictures for us.

I didn’t get any shots of the bronco LOL .. but here are some beach shots on Ocracoke

Hello to all! Ii will be down the week of June 11th to the 18th. Staying in Kittyhawk. Hope to see some of ya then!

So, I'll be down on the OBX next week - 4/10 through 4/15. Anyone want to meet up one day for a run from Corolla to the VA line and back? Maybe some of the sand roads behind the dunes, too, looking for horses?

Local ordinance. All vehicles must air down.

I agree with you, though. Been driving on the sand there since the 80s. I hadn't been on the sand in a few years, and was told about the ordinance by a neighbor.

@Orf

@Orf Ordinance? Where? And do they now have the “tire pressure” police going around randomly checking tire pressure? Pretty sure your neighbor is messing with you!

@TMP

@TMP I saw online that you need to put your tire pressure down to like 18psi

They “recommend” you air down but as far as I can find there is no “ordinance” that “requires” you to air down. I’ve been driving on the beaches of OBX since 1982 and the idea that they would pass an “ordinance” that requires you to air down is not only absurd but exactly how would it be enforced???? The “Air Police”?? Random tire checks on the beach?? As I said before most of OBX beaches are drivable at full tire pressure….especially in a light weight vehicle like our Bronco’s……@ACass98

We've owned property down there since the 70's. I know more than a few locals. The way it was explained to me, if you get stuck and your tires aren't aired down, there is a fine in addition to the recovery fee. Again, just what I've been told by friends who are locals.

So you heard it from a “friend”?

@TMP

@TMP No need to use quotes. Yes, from friends. Who live in Southern Shores. Also friends who live in Duck. I'm just passing along what I was told by people I trust. If they are wrong, then so be it.

I'll be me, you be you. Which you obviously are...

Well there you go! So back to your “ordinance”……let’s say you do get stuck…..anybody with a 4wd that drives on OBX has a shovel on board “just in case”……and if not they are a fool and deserve to get a “ticket”……so when you do get stuck what’s the very first thing you do? Yep…air down your tires….shovel a path at all 4 wheels and try to drive out…..so exactly how are the “air police” going to charge you for not having your tires aired down?Do they have a “device” they can look back in time to when you did get stuck??? The whole thing is absurd and if someone actually gets ticketed for it then they need to just sell their Bronco and get a Prius….

@Orf

I guess Google can be your friend. Here is an article from 2017 that mentions the ordinance.

Link

"The Currituck County Board of Commissioners passed an ordinance May 15 to help residents and visitors like Tyree help themselves. It requires drivers on the northern beaches to first "air down.""

Heading to Corolla Beach next week. Looking for some ideas on beaches that allow vehicles on the beach and can pull up to the water. Not parking over night, just planning to hang out multiple days during the day at the beach.

Sorry of this is redudent, but I scrolled through and didn't see an answer and google talks about a parking pass but I dont think I need that.

Not staying on the beach, but a mile from it.

If you got or can find a parking pass for Carova 4x4 that is your closest bet. If you don't have the parking pass you can still drive on it. Otherwise, you'll have to head south to Oregon Inlet or beyond towards Hatteras. You'll need a permit to drive there, but you
can park as well.

Hello.

so I screwed up. I didn’t know there was a parking pass thing for the off roading cars and I can’t buy one this week off the website. Does anyone here have an extra or nonusing pass for this week on currituck. Also if not does anyone know where I can go to maybe try some sand for a bit.

You can drive out there as much as you want, the pass is needed to park on the beach. If you are renting a house on the 4wd beach, your house comes with 2 parking passes.

@Tank

@Tank I’ll have to see about the passes!

@ACass98

@ACass98 If you rented from Twiddy, they should be at the house. But again, that’s just for houses only accessible by driving up the beach. We were there last week, hope the weather is as good for you as it was for us!

@Tank

@Tank thanks! It’s gonna rain once it says!

You can purchase a seasonal pass from the visitors center by the light house

The Carova area has very limited number of parking passes each week. As mentioned, you can drive on the beach, just can't park. Your other option is on the other end of the penninsula by Oregon Inlet or beyond on Hatteras, you can get a pass online to drive on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

@Vtfakie

@Vtfakie honestly I don’t want to park I just want to drive. I like the area where I’m at on the beach in which no one really allowed. So that will be fine tbh! My uncle got a pass for his Jeep so we will take it for fishing.

Hey, following off with Orf, Is anyone going to be around the Outer Banks 6/19-6/27. I do want to drive it up the virginia border!

Maybe the 20th. And traffic shouldn't be completely crazy on a Monday.

@TJ OBX

@TJ OBX I have to do some remote work Monday so that's out for me but do plan on a sand drive this week tues-thurs.

In Duck. There is a white 2 Dr here, a white 4 Dr coming in, saw a gray 4 Dr yesterday at Scarborough Faire but it they might have left. And an eruption green 4 dr in Southern Shores. Even had a Jeep driver wave at me

I’ll be at work up in Virginia from Tuesday-Friday. Over here on this side of the bridge, there’s my Area 51, a cactus grey and a cyber orange. Most sold through my dealer have gone to the beach.

Hey new here have a 21 2dr Sasq and a 95 XL From Central NC.

Headed to Duck June 4-11. Looking for recommendations of where to take the Bronco. We've had the Jeep up to Corolla but only a mile or so. Thanks!

Has anyone taken out a Sport onto the beaches? Wondering if the lower clearance and narrower tires (compared to the big bronco) would be able to handle the sand.

should be fine. i’ve seen plenty of subarus out there

Finally getting my Bronco Hot Pepper Red 4Dr wildtrak SAS this week. Ordered a Outer Banks in June 2021 switched to MY 22 on October 2021 built March 12th. Really excite!

Got my OBX SAS order in last week! Unfortunately it's unlikely to arrive in time for the big family OBX get together in mid-July. But hey... who knows!

If there's a Bronco Meetup when I'm there can I just come hang with y'all as an order holder??

I have an OBX non SAS supposedly coming in May. I refuse to accept delivery with incomplete chips. Cancelled and getting a Jeep and will never look back. I wish you all the best in this dramatic journey. Enjoy!

I just joined this group. I have planned to be in Nags Head March 6-9, to make my first beach run in my OBX. Plan to do the Northern parts of the National Seashore, as well as the Corolla section. Any washed out beach sections?

Any others plan to be there?

We are planning a trip, It would be great to get a few Broncos there. keep me posted

We vacation in Corolla every summer. It'll be nice to not have to rent a Jeep once I have the Bronco!

Never been, but plan to go when I ever get my Bronco.

I should have mine in a week or so . I live in Corolla.

Do you plan on applying an additional undercoating for salt water protection?

I'll be driving mine down there if I ever get it. I'm about an hour and 20 mins away.

Should have two Bronco’s down the Sept 15th to the 23rd feel free to stop and check them out. May be down over Labor Day weekend. Just got back from being down over this past weekend was to have one of them, issues. Yes that’s me!! Link below. Clark St KDH

Wow dude - that was quite an adventure to get your rig. Hope it all came out ok in the end. Enjoy your time on the Banks. I will be down early October (Duck) and am hoping I have mine by then. I am one of the mid July soft tops whose build has gone MIA so with each passing day I am less optimistic - but there is still a slim margin.

Received a build date today - 7/19 week. Hoping that means we will have it in hand when my wife and I vacation in Duck in early October. Will make sure to take and post a good OBX photo with the Bronco.

Good to hear. Always nice to spread the good vibes. Good luck with the build.

Any updates on your build date?

So I believe mine has been built and is awaiting shipping. I received my Window Sticker on 7/3 and when i called my dealer was told the system was showing them that the truck is scheduled for delivery to them the first week of August. On another thread I saw a reference to a shipping tracking site and when I put my VIN in I get a Freight # but it shows the shipping as pending. From what i gather there are delays with shipping right now - so holding out hope this goes quickly.

So week 2 of orders passed and I didn’t get an email. Disappointed but then I wake up and see this for the morning. Soon me wife and I will be able to drive our OBX Bronco down to the OBX.

I live in New Bern, NC but plan to take my Bronco beach driving at Emerald Isle or Ocracoke. C'mon 2021 ?

Can anyone tell me their approximate time from reservation to order?

@Mercury

@Mercury Ordered mid Feb... supposed to be built 6/2.. delayed..got built 6/26, put on a truck 6/27 and arrived 6/29.... Outer Banks, Cactus Gray, 2.7 Soft Top

@FranktheTank

@FranktheTank Congrats on the delivery.

I reserved on 7/19 and placed my order last week (22d). Dealer informed me I am within their initial allocation numbers so cautiously optimistic I’ll have my OBX in 2021.

Over in Wilson NC, can’t wait to link up with everyone.

Three Bronco Sport's now in stock Capital Ford Raleigh.

The Bronco Sport is a good looking cross over and I might have seriously considered getting one if I wasn’t so set on having a vehicle that allows top and doors off.

Good Afternoon!

Bronco Sport models appear to be currently at dealers. Bronco Sport shares many of the same colors as the Bronco, so if you want to see the colors in-person before you order, use the Ford website to search for dealer inventory by zip code and find your color on the Bronco Sport:

Happy Friday!

They're trickling in here in the Triangle, with 8 in stock. Looking forward to seeing a cyber orange one in the sunshine.
