West Texas Broncos

Welcome! This group was created to help members in West Texas and members taking delivery in West Texas organize and meet other Bronco owners for meets and trail days! We are planning, at this time, trips mainly to Big Bend National Park.

Blank page.
I've been looking at maps and aerial maps/satellite maps, checking it out in Big Bend.
Fully plan on driving down there when we get ours at Sewell.
Best I can tell maybe drive:
down to Terlingua area, over towards Chios Basin visitor center.
Rte 12 over to Glen Springs RD.
From here it looks like desert running/some 4WD.
Glen Springs to Black Gap, headed SE.
At the end of Black Gap there is a no-named road in yellow on the map (in the link below) that goes on a little more SE before turning E-NE. This eventually rejoins Rte 12.
It looks to be about a 24 mile side-trip from when you exit Rte 12 until you get back to it.

Any and all insight is appreciated.
Would love to see the sunset there, try and figure out a place to stay the night that is decent.

Better options/ trips there in BB?
Either heading west from there and up the west coast or back across TX to Nacodoches area to see family before heading back to NC.

One of my planned trips also but I was a kid the last time I was there so I can’t help you much

Have you taken delivery yet? Mine is going to Sewell as well.

@LaBaumba Not yet. Delays on MIC. I don't want to compromise on my 2.7, MIC, or anything else and it looks like next summer. It is code 99'd for now because I don't want my Bronco delivered in the winter time for the trip, plus school is back in session, so my girls can't take a week or two off for it.
Sadly (maybe) due to all of these issues I am going to test drive a Gladiator for the weekend. If I end up with it, this whole plan is going to change.

If you haven’t driven a Bronc yet, I highly recommend it. They really are a different animal. I may have gone gladiator if I hadn’t driven one with the soft top.
Good luck, brother.

Thanks. I drove them both. WT was better in every way.
So much so that I switched my order to soft top when I got home and it scheduled last week for Oct. 4 week.

It is shipped, looks like we will take delivery early Thanksgiving week, be in BB park enjoying the roads/trails.
Definitely looking at Black Gap road, Old Ore road, River road.
Also definitely going to take in some star gazing.
Issue now is to find a room for the night anywhere even remotely close.
May have to drive a couple hours away or (gasp) camp in-desert for the night.
