What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

[CookieMonster]

Went back out to Reymert Mine and the Sugar Shack for the first time in about 4 years. Great historic area to explore only about 15 miles east of the Phoenix metro. Can tack it onto doing the very popular Box Canyon trail quite easily as it is only about 5 to 10 miles north of there. Took one of my employees with me who just recently picked up a '24 Wildtrak and hadn't really been out on any real trails yet.

Funtreks rates this one easy, but a lot of recent trip reports were calling it out as moderate and even pushing difficult near the end. Overall I found most of it pretty easy but did run into issues with how wide I was trying to get through the rock squeeze about a quarter of a mile from the mine. Erosion had made this a lot trickier with pretty significant rocks to get over on one side while trying to keep your body off of a big rock on the other. Probably could have made it if my steps weren't on but didn't want to mess something up when I could just walk the rest of the way. If I'm going to get body damage it's going to be on something worthwhile .

That’s a sexy blue wildtrak. Looks familiar.

Well sh$t, so much for nobody on this forum knowing me in real life.

Damn this thing was heavy. Now to respool the winch!

Tough install of pulls on the attic…

Parked my bronco outside along with the other horse to let them graze while I fixed something in the garage. Also got the passenger side door dent fixed
.

Excellent taste (except for the 2 door...)

I also have a third that stays in the garage mostly.

I think Lorne has it right with all two doors.
These are all two doors and Lorne picked a great looking Shelby!!!

Your GT/CS is a sharp looking Mustang….!!!

She's my daily. My wife drives the Bronco. On the weekend with the kids and dogs it's definitely the bronco. Occasionally go cruising in the 68 too (minus dogs).

My son seems to be convinced the GT/CS is a 1 of 1 car. Has every option checked but the track pack. It was a dealership showroom car. Bought it right after the 21's started coming out. Dealership dumped the price and I happened to see it on the interwebz within an hour. They had a new GT500 coming in to take its place. It had zero miles on it when I got in for the test drive. I stole it at 40k out the door.

I used to teach autocross and got to drive a lot of fast cars. Occasionally even an exotic or two. The mustang doesn't feel fast at all but certainly beats just about anything pre-2010 or so.

It's not GT350 or 500 but it's also a lot tamer for daily driving.

Dealer kept my ride for 4 weeks to replace my MIC top with an arguably worse one

Did this last week in Moab.

It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand (If you had a Bronco with really beefy ICON tie rods and ball joints)

Was there on Saturday. Did you bypass that one nasty ledge climb that was about 1/3 of the way up the trail? People have commented that particular section has gotten much worse since last year. I could see where it was clear that the "power through it" club had been there digging progressively deeper holes in front of the ledges. I didn't see anybody with a setup anywhere near like mine go up it, and I figured I probably didn't have the ground clearance. The group I watched was all running big tires and big lifts. I also didn't do the loop because we heard that the group with 39s and lifts were struggling there.

Other than that, I had no issues. Contacted skid plates from time to time, but didn't use a spotter and didn't always make the best choices or take my time. Based on what I encountered, I'd say the minimum recommended setup if taking that one bypass but not the others would be 33" tires and a rear locker. Probably 37s and a lift if staying on the main trail.

@timhood We went over the ledge climb, no bypasses for the Bronco this trip. We were out there with some heavy hitter Wranglers and we could not let them show up the Bronco

It took a couple tries and some spotting from our Jeep buddies but we got through it

Love that copper color on your Bronco. Great retro/modern look.

Thanks. Went for that 1971-74 period look. Inspired by the doors hanging on the wall at Moab Bronco OffRoadeo.
