Bronco Nation exists to make owning a Bronco easier and more enjoyable. Part of that mission includes bringing the community together in person and online. And to do that that better, we needed a new Bronco Nation website.

On Monday morning, you’ll be able to see what our team has been working on for many months: a new version of theBroncoNation.com.

While the look of the site will be slightly different, the features you like will be staying –– and we’re even adding some new ones. What you see next week will be the start of even more to come.

You’re going to experience:
  • A better Member Map, our members-only feature that shows you Bronco communities, trails, campsites, and more all over the country.
  • An easier Events page. We’ve simplified down the steps and added a regional search. You’ll spend less time finding events to attend and creating your own.
  • A much friendlier mobile visit. The majority of you use Bronco Nation on your phone, and we’ve set up the site to be easier to browse and navigate. One thing to note: The Bronco Nation app will be ending. App users, we’d like to welcome you to the site. We’ve kept you in mind since the beginning of this process and went with a mobile-first setup.
  • Better search function across the forums and news articles. We know it hasn’t been great. Now you’ll have an easier time finding information you need.
  • A member dashboard of all your benefits. You’re going to have an easier time finding your member number, seeing what’s available with your membership, and locating partner codes.
We’ll Help You Through the Changes

While plenty of the changes are behind-the-scenes performance or in appearance-only, there are going to be some differences, especially surrounding your individual habits and patterns on BN. These may take getting used to.

Ask us any questions. Give us feedback because we will be doing continued improvements. Tag us here in the forums –– @Laura, @MattR, @London, and @jparker. Your team at Bronco Nation is here to help. This includes our moderators @SlashRacer, @Deano Bronc, and @TK1215, who deserve a special callout and round of applause for helping us get this site shaped up. Mike, Dean, and Tim have dedicated hours upon hours on the new site and with us on the phone, and their work was vital to making this as seamless as an experience for you as possible. Another massive thanks goes to our support teammates of Chris and Nick; we couldn't have done the tech or stayed on track without them.

Things to Note
  • Forum pause: Right now, we are on track to launch the site on Monday morning. This means the forums will pause at 5 p.m. ET this Friday. You can search for answers and read all you want, but you won't be able to post new threads or reply. We'll be posting a top banner across the forums soon to remind you. All our social sites will be up and running, so if you need a question answered, ask us on Facebook or Instagram.
  • Login: When you come back to Bronco Nation on Monday, you will need to log in again. If you know your password or have it saved on your device, this should be simple. If you need to reset it, we've tested the reset button, and it works. If you have any trouble, contact us at [email protected].
  • Having issues? If you find bugs or are having any issues at all, drop them here or DM me or @MattR. I will be showing off where some of the new features and adjustments are early Monday morning in this thread.
  • Reminder: The Bronco Nation app will be ending. We're still finding out if that's going to be a hard stop or if it will just stop updating. I'll let you know once we know.
We love our community here and can’t wait to make it even easier for all of us to connect around the vehicle we’re passionate about!

The App has been how I have contributed and posted to the Bronco Nation the last 2 years, I am also a member of Overland Bound - which is where the team enlisted Michael and folks to assist with.
I find the app's ease of use, and comfortableness a major contributor to the growth of the BN, plus the added features the team at Overland Bound are making with the app seem to be well worthwhile if used properly on the BN app, things like meet ups, routes, etc are all functional and enjoyable on the OverlandBound1 App, I have found plenty of places to explore using this and contributed some sites over to the Bronco Nation App.
Is this a given, that the Bronco Nation has ceased their partnership with the folks at Overland Bound and will not be using the OverlandBound1 App as the background for the Bronco Nation app?
We aren't using the app any longer, no. With the new site, the app is no longer supported. For the last several months even already, it stopped tying in to our platform with events. By using the mobile site, now when people create events, they will be able to invite people and have a thread instead of it linking to the homepage, and I'm excited it will work with the tools BN has. We had about 100 users on the app, and I know it's going to be disappointing to change; I understand that.

Desktop, left side of screen followed me through the pages on the site. Had to log out and back in to get rid of it. I think it started when I tried to upload a picture on another thread.

Ok….. so I deleted the old app, then shared the website to my homescreen so it’s got its own shortcut on my phone…… next to my Overland Bound 1 app (lol).

It’s hard to believe people didn’t use the app! It was GREAT!
But thank you for your response!

Here's another thing that's a bit bothersome
I'm reading through a thread. I click on the next page button to take me to the next page
It takes me to the bottom of the next page.

Hey everyone, we're planning to pause the forums tonight at 12 AM ET. This will give us a chance to collect the data and move it. It's one of our steps in getting our speed back.

Not sure if last night was supposed to make things faster or if this was just the investigation to try to figure out why they’re slow.

But either way, definitely faster today. (Or maybe the west coast folk just haven’t woken up yet, so overall traffic is low.)

Good! This was just the first step; we have another action planned as well. I still see the loading circle way too much, and the thread loading bar chugs along, but again, this is not the end level.

A suggestion: Think about moving the latest posts to the top of list and the oldest to the end. For example, if I want to see the latest post on this thread, I have to go to the last page to find it. Just a thought. :)

Not sure if they are monitoring right now as they may be at Supercell, but I think that is an area for the admin during the transition of the website

Love my Bronco!

Small thing, but the time stamps are a really bad combination of standard time and military time. The post ^ is today at 0733 pm. Please go with one or the other. The 0 is driving me nuts because it's actually 1933. 07:33 was this morning...

When I click over to the "Shop Gear" part, the site seems to log me out and will not let me log back in. I enter my information, but the site doesn't seem to recognize it. Logging into the forums works fine, but when I go over to Shopping - no bueno. Can't log in, can't get the member discount.
Could that be related to the new site somehow?

The Bronco Nation Team is way more than just this forum. They work their a$$es off behind the scenes scheduling, organizing, and managing events, traveling all over the country, writing articles, sourcing merchandise, hunting down information, setting up and running campsites, and doing everything they can to make people feel heard and welcome. You should attend one of their events so you can see just how hard working, humble, and gracious they are.
Other forums might be running a little smoother and have different information, but I’m 100% certain none of their admins have ever brought you coffee or made you pancakes on a frosty Colorado morning.
The technical issues are temporary, but the community building is not. I hope you change your mind.
Ditchrunner, Deano Bronc
