Yup I think all you have to do is ask the instructor I’m sure it’s fine
I did Nevada last Saturday and it was a perfect 80 degrees or so. Almost everyone had their soft top open and I was able to talk the guides into letting me take off the front row of the MIC top. They don’t have the bags for them so I couldn’t leave in the back but we set them near a close by building.
Wow, thanks for all this great information (I have been a fan of your posting throughout Bronco6g connections, thanks for your contributions). I am going to Vegas Off Roadeo on October 31, Halloween . . . so I expect it will be a "scary" time regardless, lol.Went to the Nevada Off-Roadeo on Thursday and it was incredible! Took my mom so we could spend some time together and learn. Neither one of us have ever driven off road more than a gravel fire road. I know we have plenty of these write-up but here’s one more and some pics to kill some time haha.
First off getting to experience the Bronco’s first hand under top notch instructions is so valuable and makes the wait easier. Even though my spec is dang near $60k after driving the vehicle for hours I believe the price will be worth it.
The instructors were great and really were the cherry on top to the whole experience. The food was phenomenal too!
For the day I was there there were 4 parties of drivers. We got 3 SAS Badlands and 1 SAS OBX. My mom and I were in a SAS Badlands mid-package.
The terrain at Nevada is mostly slow speed rock crawling. Which was great for me because as a newbie that genre is the most intimidating. But the Broncos are well equipped and we all got through everything pretty easily. I now know how/when to use the SBD, front & rear lockers, trail control, one pedal driving, and manual modes.
It was one thing reading about these features, and another putting them into practice. It all makes WAY more sense to me now. I was so worried about lifting tires from reading the SLA vs IFS arguments from years back haha. But even when the tires lift the Bronco can keep going thanks to the lockers. Best part is you can set them independently whenever needed.
The instructors taught technique over technology which was extremely helpful. So I got to practice modulating the gas/brakes myself AND using the Bronco’s assist features. I feel comfortable using both ways now.
All in all it was a GREAT time and I’d like to do it again at a diff site to try more types of terrain. Well worth every penny!
Now to the best part, the pics haha
Appreciate the love man! You’re gonna do great and you’re gonna love it! Especially since you’re going to SEMA too!!
Thanks, and you bet I'll return to post about my experience. I will endeavor to also include some pics of Broncos at SEMA if possible (although I have to believe that several BN members will be at SEMA and will likewise be posting photos!) . . . and yes, I am sure there will be cool mods on display. Thanks again!
