1st Annual Bron'Con! (The Rubicon)

[popo_patty]

Don’t get me wrong the Rubicon is def on my bucket list and if your decide to do this next year I may even join…but I’d love it if there was an east coast version of the “jeep jamboree”…could be the fact that I’m east coast based and biased, but also is it a way for us to further put some distance between us and the jeep culture? Like get our name on the map for our own event unique to us?

I do a ton of events throughout the year (mostly private). But a desert version would be cool or a more overland version. I may offer that next year as well… as far as east coast goes… I’m biased to the west coast. Way more public lands and wheeling options vs the east coast. Did you have any locations in mind out there?

There are Bronco specific event in the Smokeys, such as the Bronco Super Celebration in April, and the Bronco Stampede in Oct. I've missed them all the last few years. The area from Indiana to Tennessee has several large off road parks, but I think the KY to GA mountain range has a lot to offer as well. I'm still in the exploratory phase. The DBBB and Red River Gorge area are attractive, but not as vast as out West.

@Valhalla has a better perspective of options in the East. I'm hopeful to get out West again to wheel, it has been a few years since having the Taco in the mountains. So for the Broncolorian has only seen the Smokeys.

Looks like everyone had fun which is what it's all about. I'd love to try it, but I don't want to take a chance on bending my stock Badlands (nonSas).

The easiest would probably be windrock but that’s a private off road park (largest in the country if I’m not mistaken, something like 70k plus acres), but there are also a ton of trails where TN/GA/NC/SC meet that could be utilized. Organizing it and getting permissions for an event might be a bit challenging though

Something to look into.....

Just need (quality) sliders and a gas tank skid. Lockers preferred.

Are the stock rock rails good enough? Have lockers. So just need a skid under the gas tank?

Does Ford have an OEM slider, or just the pinch weld cover or side step / nerf bar?

Stock rails I’m not certain of. I don’t have any experience with them.

We’ve taken someone on 37’s and a mild body lift through without gas tank skids. But it would have been better to have them

@popo_patty Thank you for putting this event together and allowing me to have my Rubicon redemption run. I am definitely looking forward to next year or the next event.
