Following the line of our fav mods/accessories of the year, what meetups or events left you with good feelings and great memories? It's hard to pick just one!

For me, my top hits were this month's RTR Bronco Golf in Johnson Valley, and two other first timers for me: June's Bronco the Mac and August's Bronco Birthday Bash at Silver Lake Sand Dunes, both here in Michigan. I think I picked these three because they were the only events I didn't have to work(ish) 😅 Not that getting to serve at events isn't a privilege!

But truly, I love getting to my local meetups with the Michigan Bronco Club, because I get to see the largest percentage of Bronco friends at once. If you're not plugged into a club yet, find one or start one!





I'm planning my 2026 events now, and I know I want to hit a few favorites (May It Forward for the full event this time, Super Cel East, plus our regular Michigan ones like Woodward) and a couple new ones in different parts of the U.S.

What's on your list for next year?
2021 Oxford White 2-door non-Sas Mid package 2.7L/10-speed Badlands with MIC top
2021 Carbonized Gray 2-door Sas High package 2.7L/10-speed Badlands with MIC top
Keeping the Jeeps: stock '89 XJ, 3.5" lifted '00 XJ on 31s and '89 MJ

thanks - I've worked in contact centers for 30 years - 25 of them in a leadership role. I have a lead on a role right now - I've had an interview with a recruiter and 3 interviews with VP's - they're flying me out of state next month to meet with the team, so I've got my fingers crossed. Bonus - it's an automotive related industry (I spent the first 7 years of my career painting cars after going to Wyoming Tech), so connecting my 30 years of contact center experience back to my automotive experience would be super cool... fingers crossed!

Best of luck!

Wow… where to start.

2025 was a busy year on the trails. I organized and led a lot of local trail runs for fellow Bronco owners here in SoCal, which was a blast. I handled everything from picking the trails and mapping them in OnX to leading the runs themselves. One of my favorite parts is taking first-timers out and watching them realize just how capable their Broncos really are.

Of course, I also made it to Big Bear Bronco Bash, which is always a great time. In the fall, a group of Bronco friends from around the country got together in Ouray, CO for a week of trail runs and general shenanigans — an unforgettable trip we even ran into an actual Bronco Influencer on our of our trail rides!

After that, life took over and the rest of 2025 was mostly about handling real-world priorities.

I’m already looking forward to 2026. I’ll definitely be back at Big Bear Bronco Bash (someone has to lead trail runs — we’re always looking for volunteer leaders 😉). Later in the year, that same Ouray group is heading to Sturgis, which should be a lot of fun — hopefully with a little less drama this time. And of course, I’m sure there will be plenty of trail runs scattered in between.
