The Michigan Bronco Club brough 34 Gen 6 and 1 Gen 1 to Drummond Island for a weekend of fun and trails. We had a lot more Broncos on 37s this year, with a Braptor and a host of 2 and 4dr models rolling on 37s. Did the Badlands on stock 33s make it? Yep, it was great all weekend as well. If...
We will post some follow ups, but we had more than 80 Broncos on the trail today. Thanks to Ford and several affiliated teams for coming out and supporting Bronco Owners today!
Looks like a few Broncos are actually in dealer stock. Note- no tow hitches. This is a big Metro Detroit dealer, I am sure they would normally be ordered with the hitch (at least the 4dr).
The first two door is a Basesquatch.
Cool news related to the MI Bronco Club. We have the website up and running. The functionality is pretty basic, but @JakeC and @yeet did a great job with ideas, editing and content. I will post this in the larger B6G forum, MI Roll Call, Bronco Nation and the email group. Yeet tells me it’s...
This Rivian was in the Barber Shop parking lot today. The owner was an employee. It was pretty cool looking. If you like the Bronco interior with the 12" screen, the Rivian wont disappoint (no pic sorry). I wonder if we will see them on the trail with our Broncos at some point? The R1S looks...
Cool pictures of Holly Oaks for those not around metro Detroit.

Saw this twinsie next to my Bronco at Target today. 2 Dr Base in the next lane and saw at least three more on my way home. They are starting to be very common now (good and bad to see😁).
My son and I messed around in the sand on a few trails near Oscoda MI today. Always looks easier in the video. I actually tried it with trail control, sand mode, open, rear locker, fully locked. It would not do the hill in 2wd with the rear locker, but every other configuration it went right up...
Ran across this random Bronco. Had to put them next to each other. Pretty cool to see them together. This one was in good shape, but looked like it was still used as intended.
Added some Diode Dynaics SAE fog lights. Wired them to Aux Switch 2. Process was simple, worked great! I have found fog lights are the most needed auxiliary lighting in my use. I will probably add some spots and reverse lights, but these were the most important add on for me (so far). It took...
I am looking to upgrade the speakers and overall sound system. I will start with the dash speakers and continue the process until it sounds decent and is loud enough to hear with the top off.
My experience with the 2.7 and it's performance across other models tells me our Bronco's are intentionally tuned to be "soft" in 1st gear (maybe 1-3?). That Explorer has to be tuned, but the 2.7 is a beast (I believe the Explorer ST use the "R60 transmission, regardless of trim).
Some real world off road video. Normal explanation, the hill was way steeper than it looked. I am pretty impressed so far. I need to sort through modes and settings a bit more.

I won’t get into to much detail, because enough good reviews have been posted. But I will try and hit on a couple of themes from the forum.
1. I took delivery yesterday at noon.
2. The dealer was great, Z plan honored, good deal on Ford warranty (first time I have bought one since the 90s).
3...
Lots of Broncos all penned up. I tried to grab every combo they had, just let me know if you are looking for a combo and I will see if I have it. The biggest surprise? The white Black Diamond, man did I love it, very cool ride!
* I think we have now posted all the variations I captured. Sorry...
