He’s searching the google for a beat up first edition that hasn’t been posted yet.

For the non initiated. Here is what makes it seem like a troll post. The last sentence is a giveaway if you hadn't noticed before then.

Honest question… is there anything other than a “stock First Edition Bronco.”

i thought it came w/all the options

Stock means it has only the original equipment available from the factory. Anything added after that, it is no longer stock. Edit: so a loaded first edition with every available option is "stock". A base model without a single option but you add a leveling lift and 33's is no longer stock.

Ya see, bud ... The Bronco has buttons and things that make off roading easier. You should maybe learn how to use them. Maybe you should let your friend son drive the Bronco and you take the jeep.... Just sounds like user error to me.

I've gone "off roading" in a Toyota Avalon with two and a half inches of ground clearance. And while I do have a couple of scratch marks on the undercarriage, I certainly didn't need a body shop.

Did this adventure happen to take place on Cinnamon Pass in early June?

We were heading west on the trail from Lake City and met a white Toyota Camry or Avalon heading east. Think it was somewhere west of Wager Gulch. Couldn’t believe the car had made it through that section of the trail! We just laughed and gave a thumbs up as they passed by.

The clear and obvious answer is to put one of these emblems on the Bronco.
AMC was the pinnacle of Jeepdom, so it makes sense to start with this:

No. Usually Rim Lakes area. Although I've also done the FS roads that start at the end of Munds Park, too.

I sold my old Dakota in 2021 anticipating a Bronco, but I am still waiting for my Bronco and didn't want to miss out on my favorite camping spots.

I promise, when I am on a Forest Service road, I pull over to let everyone and anyone pass while I gingerly navigate the rocks at about 5mph.

Your dad is gonna be piss if he finds out that you are taking out his Bronco.

It is a limited trim, but there’s no way it is any rare edition. Much more likely I was wrong but I will ask him. Thanks.

You sure it isn't an old liberty? They have ifs

Imagine if this dude was getting out wheeled by an old liberty

suggest you go to a Bronco Off Roadeo and learn all the features of the Bronco. You may have been driving in all the wrong settings. Not much to go by in your posts to evaluate but just suggesting you go to the offroadeo since they teach you how to wheel in the Bronco. The rest is all experience so you learn how to pick proper lines etc.

this.

I'm by no means qualified at first attempt to go out and try to best people who have been offroading for awhile. Sign up for the offrodeo and have them walk you thru some basics and the settings and then go tackle some small trails. Once you know what you're doing have your Jeep buddy teach you some things and then go out with him again and see if you can settle the score.

Lol. Sounds like you need driving lessons.

Hi folks. I have a stock Bronco First Edition. I finally took it to a trail yesterday and my friends son was also there so we off-roaded together. He has a 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ, also mostly stock and he was doing way better than me offroad. (Getting up hills I couldn’t, going over logs I couldn’t) He dosent have lockers or solid axles so I was confused. I need to find out how to make my Bronco better or I may just trade it for an XJ. Also does anyone have a good body shop to recommend because my Bronco is a bit beat up from offroad use.

Mean to say that all of those YouTube videos you’ve been watching over the last 2 years didn’t make you a real wheeler? After all , you were paying close attention to Lite Brite, Trial Recon, and Marco’s cooking too, but somehow that flavor profile wasn’t quite what it tasted like looking at the TV either.

I know this is a troll post, so we’re having some fun with this, but just in case any other internet edumacated geniuses is out there; wheeling takes practice and it is best to go slow by first getting out of the vehicle to inspect the track and walk it.

Yes, wheeling is part hiking. Just pretend you’re on the golf course and the Bronco is your cart and you just somehow keep hitting your ball in the woods even though you bought that fancy Taylor Made set of clubs that seemed to work so well for that guy you were watching at the Masters. Same clubs should get same results, right?
