I'm pretty much resolved to huge wait times from here before ever receiving my Bronco. (Reservation Nov 2020, Badlands, Sasquatch, Hardtop, Trailer tow, V6, Automatic trans.) And I suspect I'm not the only one.
Wife and I did do OffRodeo and we are just pumped about going offroading on local trails.
Been watching lots of off road videos. Been checking out trail maps of local areas. Joined local 4x4 off road meetup group. Not doing much with the group, just watching what trips they are taking to get ideas of where to go. Watching more videos.
One idea is to be a volunteer support rider to others in the local meetup group. Bring gas money. (Hoping single drivers want company...)
Another idea is to purchase an off road capable vehicle right now. Something with no wait times for availability. Cargurus is your buddy here.
--A Bronco Sport is an idea... buy it use it then trade it in when the Bronco arrives a few years from now. That's going to be expensive.
--Mechanics special (4x4 pickup?) I've got skills/tools in this arena. Interesting finds on OfferUp . Get it running, lift kit? wheels, tires?
I like the off road capable unibody vehicles I've seen.
--Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk (Inspiring Video here...) I can find lots of these, pretty affordable.
--Used Jeep Wrangler (Lots of these around, high mileage ones are affordable)
--Suburu Outback?
The thought is to have something that gets me off road, learn the trails, learn how to ground guide. Its a temporary fix. Something less then $25K that can be resold or traded in when the Bronco finally arrives. (2023?)
What would you do? Anybody else in this situation?
