Hello, I've been trail riding since 1980 here in Florida. I've had International Scouts, FSJs, Ford Explorer and all of them Modified! First, I'm a retired Engineer that worked for Coca-Cola, Clorox, Owens Corning and lastly Amazon. Second, I spent a 2 year Stick between Clorox and Amazon building an LLC that recycled old Vintage Trucks and Engineered parts for FSJeep. I still have the LLC and will be developing parts for my Bronco. As part of the LLC I have a YouTube channel 'The Slab64". On this channel I mostly build FSJs and document my product installations. Check it out. https://www.youtube.com/@theslab6457
So, my goal with the Bronco is to add front and rear bumpers, a transmission cage and sliders before heading out to Windrock in October. Are any other Bronco owners planning on going out in that month? I'd really like to have company.

Check out our Windrock group on here. I usually organize a Fall ride every year in October. What mods are done to your BL? We are going on a mild ride on the 9th of August (around a level 5). I hope to go one more time for a fall equinox ride, but we will see.

Great, that's exactly what I need! Presently, I'm 70% done with a custom rear receiver that integrates into the bumper. I'm in the process now of stitching the sheet metal into the Receiver. I'm expecting it to protect the bumper when dropping off obstacles and will be a better receiver for extraction and Jacking.
Next is a transmission cage. Currently its out in the wind. Lastly, an integrated front winch. This should get me to Windrock. Oh no! Aug 9 is too soon but Sept-Oct is doable.
