What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

[VirginiaHeritage]

Today, I towed with the Bronco for the first time and she did great. I used a 2-inch ball with a 3-and-1/2-inch drop mount to tow a Uhaul motorcycle trailer from VA to PA and back. The automated trailer light check feature is very handy, I must say.

The trailer rode very slightly nose up when empty, but when loaded with a 476 lb bike and with 2 passengers in the Bronco, it was pretty level. Total loaded trailer weight was about 1350 lbs. I averaged about 20.5 mpg indicated on the highway with the empty trailer and 18.5 loaded, at about 62mph. On smooth stretches of highway, I couldn’t tell it was back there.

Anyway, that bike is now deposited in my garage…

It’s a leftover 2025 Royal Enfield Bear 650, “249” edition. There’s a cool story there.

Already planning on adding an aluminum oil cooler screen and lower skid plate for starters. Probably will eventually replace the tail light assembly with something more classic and less odd looking. It’s got just enough scrambler in it to contend with my steep gravel road and get me to and from the pavement for backroad rides. I think Steve McQueen probably would have loved this bike.

Thanks! They do quite the light show when unlocking. I didn’t realize you could post videos, too. So here it is.

Damn! I was waiting for it to start transforming into a Decepticon at the end. Very cool.

Sweet moto Virginia. R1, R6, and 1199 here.

Might I suggest Motul e2 bike wash for the lower half (wheels, engine). I don't use it on the frame or paint but I've found it keeps the grimy parts really clean. Enjoy that bike in good health.

Thanks. Apparently Royal Enfield doesn’t want me to use anything but water (no soap) on the painted upper bits. Not sure what that says about the paint quality…

Edit: I see now they aren’t talking about the frame, just the tank and number board. So it may be the decals they are worried about.

Full exterior wash after a long winter.

Washed mine yesterday and took it to the drive-in last night. We have a local drive-in theater that only shows 35mm films, so it's all movies from before around 2003. They show a lot of vintage films. Last night's movie was "Bloodsport".

Dang, those were the teenage days, sneaking in passengers and beverage of choice! A speaker that hung on your window that sounded worse than AM radio. Never did see a whole movie start to finish. 80's, best time ever.

My wife and I have been together for 25 years, married for 23, so we're past those activities. We actually go to watch the movies. Lol!! Plus, the lack of room inside this little buggy isn't exactly conducive to that stuff. Lol.

Now my '79 Bronco that I had when I was in my late teens-early twenties....that buggy was perfect for extracurricular coed activities.

New garage signs to use as my alignment for backing into the garage.

Wanted to install my EZ Top, but it never got above 60… gave her a bath and a fresh coat of trim coat on the steps…

I installed the Rockjock Antirock Front Sway Bar today. I'll be putting it to the test tomorrow in Uwharrie OHV.

It sits completely level with ramps under the front and rear (at the same time).

I can confirm that the wheel rubs at full lock with the stock SAS wheels.

Enjoyed the day off-roading at the Quarry Meadows apart of Bronco Super Celebration Wisconsin. No photos during the off-roading but I got this waiting in line to get checked in. So much fun!

Got new shoes, washed her up and added the RB mud flaps and hood black out decal.

I couldn't drive my Bronco there, but I just saw a Bronco look alike.

I FINALLY installed my @EZ4X4 tube doors. I won these from them last year but for numerous reasons had to delay goin nekeh. I want to enjoy the beautiful weather we have been having before we dive into summer heat. Their door cart & alignment pin/bolt replacement makes this a breeze & far less intimidating than I initially thought.

Blu also got her first compliment in awhile, on our first outing stripped down. A very nice lady leaned toward me while I was parked at the store and said “I just had to tell you, that is a sharp ride!”. Loving the look the tube doors give her.
