Bronco Nation at SEMA 2022

Thanks for being our SEMA documentarian, @Laura! Lots of great pix. A wide variety of builds to assess.

Anyone showing a Bronco on Trax? Not a far fetched question....

My interest is not strictly Bronco, Laura, but I'd be interested in reports on quality but reasonably priced recovery gear, such as traction boards, kinetic towlines, and the like. I bought "RhinoUSA" a while back and was very disappointed in the quality (the folding shovel rusted) and performance (traction boards failed to provide grip in mud). So I'm warning other posters about those.

ARB is a respected product line, but pricey. Anything you find of that quality but better priced would be nice to know about. Same with ARB's compressors: very nice, but do we have to pay $400 and up for a good one? How about a good decompressor/compressor with a 4-by air line setup, all in a handy box, at a good package price?

Bumpers (best solution for winch mount that is best possible solution for camera usage)

Are those legal in Mall Crawls? Or is that a specific class to itself? 😁 😂

Now that I won't have a tow package, I'll be wanting to convert my Bronco into an overland camper. There's no telling how long it will be before I install a hitch. So, for now I'm interested in the TENTS. Mine is a 2-door, so whatever I get has to bear that in mind for storage, placement, etc. I'm not thrilled with the idea of having to put a rack on top of my Bronco to accommodate a tent platform. I'd be interested to know if there are any alternatives, other than setting up a tent on the ground.

I like the slide-out refrigerators and tailgate kitchen setups I've seen here and there. 😍

Seriously! I think it might look more appropriate with UNpainted fender flares. Painted fender flares scream "I'm never going off-road!" LOL

Bronco Nation has landed at SEMA -- we'll be showing you the Broncos, parts, and accessories from the show!

Who wants to see what? I'm interested in bumpers.

Great Pictures, any input you have on hardshell roof mount tents would be great, seems like prices and quality is allover the place.

BuckYeah

Reconsider a ground tent, as there have been a lot of improvements. Poles connect fast with elastic twine, they go up fast, and tent-pegs are needed only if there's strong wind. A two- or four-man tent can be stuffed into a pretty compact bag. I see the need for a roof tent only if you're in bear country. For my next major excursion, I'm thinking: an aerodynamic carrier like Yakima on the roof for tent, sleeping bags & mats, and canned & boxed food. My 4-door interior storage for recovery gear & tools, water, the fridge (I am so done with ice chests!), cook stove and clothes & food that may be needed that day.
Three more factors: some people (like my wife, or grandchildren) might have trouble with a ladder, especially at night. And, I can take off the rooftop bin when not traveling for reduced weight and drag. Third, a tent is cheaper and more flexible.

I still don't have a Bronco, so it's just window shopping for me and looking to see if anything interests me.

There are plenty of things I'd be looking around for, but off of the top of my head I'd be looking for better styled/looking fender flares, light weight wheels that don't only come in black, a better hard top for the 2Dr and maybe other grill choices.

...some people (like my wife, or grandchildren) might have trouble with a ladder, especially at night...

That's my biggest problem with a rooftop tent. I can see my self falling out of there at night, after libations.

Jordan and I went to the Fun-haver reveal this morning. @TechnicalDisaster, why stop at 38s? All this will be available to purchase, and you can watch the video on our IG.

@Laura sweet! I’ll be taking a look at all the options and start saving for next year.

Any word on the Ladies build? Was that revealed yet?

Great looking ride, although we know it's SEMA ONLY ride, but great job nonetheless!!

I like this badging, but it fits the FSB of the 80s-90s better... Being the 6G is based on the EB. If the "BRONCO" badging was not redundant on the front 3 sides. I'd be all in, and say they nailed it.... 9.8/10

Congratulations to these women on their all-female build! Story coming soon with @Ladyinbluebronco!
