What happened today in your Bronco Raptor

[JMCBraptor]

Well here we go...
Not new to the off road world but new to the Bronco Raptor off road world!!!
I have to say i'm really excited to get some more dirt on her! You can not really tell that i'm basically on top of a cliff in this picture.
Pretty awesome all around... After I decided to turn off the paved road up into the dirt I got here realizing how I needed to air down. 100%
different experience. Cant wait to get the upgrades on her... This is in Mohave Valley AZ

No Filter!!!

Great photos! I love Hot Pepper Red at dusk.

Great looking Bronco.

Hit the dirt... Then gave her a bath... Got the first rock chip today; not sure how but life happens

I'm guessing a basic day for a Raptor

Mine got its first scrape at Bronco Safari in Moab recently. The trail was not as wide as the Raptor and it donated a little black paint off its front wheel. Consideed renaming him, "Scar".

Do you have PPF?

Do you have PPF?

If your question was for me, no there is no PPF yet. I found three very small bubbles in the paint. So it is having those fixed by Ford now but I did not have time to get it all taken care of before going to Moab for the Bronco Safari. Once the paint is redone by Ford I will probbaly get the PPF applied.

Do you have PPF?

I dont have PPF... I would rather see the paint in all its glory... I never liked covering the paint. Always made it look weird to me. I know is does provide protection.

You need to be careful with PPF on repainted panels... My experience is that it pulls off the paint if it needS to get replaced.

Moon Rocks OHV Area (just north of Reno) happened to my Bronco Raptor yesterday. Great day with 4 other Broncos riding trails in the east Sierra desert foothills. They have some great rock features to crawl there, but we skipped that yesterday. A few pics and some POV video in case anybody is interested in heading out there sometime…..

great Job filming, how did the trail cam work on the trails when your front end was pointed skyward?

The trail camera is invaluable on steep climbs where you dont know what the top looks like! Makes climbing while looking into the clear blue sky so much less stressful.

I used it a lot on a couple trails the last two days. Lots of climbs and lots a rocks. Unfortunately, even the trail cam didn’t save me from eroding the edge and dropping my front passenger tire on this tight (Raptor not Advised) washed out trail yesterday.

I don’t know if you have the vinyl or the leather seats but they must be pretty dang strong if they are still intact after the butt clench they endured from this one.

My son and I went through Cades Cove (Smokies), through Parsons Branch Trail, and got onto the Dragon this weekend. Great weather for it. I didn't get too spirited, my son gets carsick fairly easily.

Cades Cove was great, we were lucky enough to see two bears, when we were there for the:

Bronco Super Celebration Townsend – Tennessee​

 

[JohnGalt]

Sadly no bears on my drive. An unnamed trail south of Carson City, NV. Overnighter with some friends. Fortunately we arrived late for the hail storm that looked like snow and enjoyed a clear night camping on a knoll. Unfortunately the hot spring tubs were lukewarm at best. Still too much snow melt I think.

mostly POV video, with some stills. It wasn’t the roughest trail, but it’s amazing how smooth it looks with image stabilization!

It looks like beautiful country and a good group of friends!

Hot Pepper Red is Awesome.

Trail cleanup and trail run at Pierce Loop and Eagle Lakes OHV trails near Donner, CA with Gold Country Broncos. For those that don’t know the area, this is also the start of the Fordyce Trail. There is a short clip of a SxS heading up the first of many Driveline Hills.
