Great work out there! Impressed to see what a stock BL can do...and I (we) appreciate the content to be sure. You're kinda the guinea pig for many of us that are still waiting for our personal Broncos and (patiently) plotting our upgrades. Keep it coming! Cheers.I want to thank everyone for the comments and kudos. I'm also open to constructive criticism so please don't be shy to post suggestions and recommendations as it'll only result in better content. I'm the driver of the Bronco in this video and the Bronco is a BL trim w/ the stock OEM Sasquatch lift, stock OEM armor, aftermarket Icon Rebound Pro wheels (17x8.5, 0mm offset), and Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ P3 MT tires (35x12.5"). I've done several trails out in Moab and in CO since taking delivery approximately 2 months ago. It's proven to be very capable in stock form (minus the wheels and tires) and I feel it's just as capable as the competition (Wranglers, 4Runners, Defenders, etc). That being said, I've identified some key upgrades and modifications that will improve the capabilities of the Bronco.
To that end, I've ordered and I'm patiently waiting to take delivery of the King Shocks 2.5" adjustable coilover setup w/ adjustable compression as well as the RPG Off-road Upper Control Arm and Tie Rod kit. I've also reached out to a vendor in CO who specializes in armor to get a rough ETA for their Bronco offerings. In an upcoming video, I'll go over in detail the trail damage sustained and my thoughts on what I feel are the 'must have' modifications and upgrades.
I thought it was teen spirit.Anyone else smell Jeep clutch?
Just an FYI the Goodyear tires MT stands for maximum traction. I would harbor to guess with that soft compound and all those tread sipes those will be really good in the snow. GY actually submitted these tires for 3 peak rating but they didn’t pass. I would say not seeing any information on how close they were to passing it was marginal or GY wouldn’t have submitted them. I bet in the near future you see this tire with that rating.I'm working on a video detailing the trail damage (aka scratches and gouges) and providing my humble opinion on upgrades and modifications that are 'must haves' to run challenging terrain. The trail is very popular with the off-raoders in CO and is fun to run all year round.
The tires are decent for on-road driving, they get the job done. They are on the lighter side and with a 'D' load range is what I consider to be a good compromise between durability and performance off-road and ride quality on-road. That being said, the BFG KM3 and Nitto Trail Grapplers are what most consider the 'go to' off-road tires and you'll see them on a lot of rigs. Its important to note that there are no MT tires that do well in snow. Something to consider if you live in an area that get a ton of snow (i.e. Colorado).
Appreciate the feedback! Will do. I'm hoping that when the vendors return from SEMA they'll start to crank out these items for our Broncos.
My wife 100% agrees with you after watching the video.That one dude needs to be fired from spotting. “Passenger, err driver, err passenger, no no driver.” The whole damn time.
Watched the whole video. The jeeps seem to struggle while the Bronco cruised!
Didn’t see this posted. Great video!
What exactly are you referring to here? I run and have run MT's on road and wheeling in the snow. If you have AT''s wheeling in the snow, have a nice day with that because they pack up fast and you'll be stuck spinning wheels until you run out of gas....ts important to note that there are no MT tires that do well in snow. Something to consider if you live in an area that get a ton of snow (i.e. Colorado).

As always, great driving, great video, but Dude! How did you say Buena Vista? It's ok, but jeez.From what I found on his YouTube is that he’s got a stock badlands Sasquatch with 35” Mickey Thompson MTZ P3 MT’s with Icon Rebound Pro wheels.
Wow...alot of courage.

I always liked Mitch's videos.Here is a Bronco Nation vid of a non Sasquatch badlands through the same trail for those that haven’t seen it yet:
