Thank you to all who tuned in with us this week for our latest episode of Bronco Nation LIVE, and if you couldn't make it, we’re sorry to have missed you in the chat! Check out the recap by timestamp below for some “heard-it-first here” news or watch the livestream straight through as you have time. 

0:00 – We lost a bit of recording from the beginning, but we start with Bronco Brand Manager Matt Winter and Ford Ownership and Experiences Manager Donte Jenkins talking about the Bronco Trail app. The app is available to all years, trims, and configurations of 6th Gen Broncos, and Ford will be adding more trails –– all curated and mapped by pros –– as time goes on. If you’re having issues hooking the app up with your Bronco, check out the forums for advice and tips. So far, we really like what we see, and we’re excited to see how people use the app to find and document adventures!

13:44 – Natalie Simon, Ford Performance Parts & Accessories, is back with us again after attending King of the Hammers and joining us on our livestream earlier this year. Ford Performance brought a Base to test and learn from in Moab that has been upfitted with Ford Performance lockers (coming soon!), a front drive unit with the optional 5.13 gear ratio, and Method wheels –– all awesome products you’ll be able to use on your own Bronco now and in time. Don't forget you can save money by using your member discount on them in the Gear store!

21:44 – Jordan talks about running Poison Spider with Melissa guiding. There are 325+ Broncos at Moab Bronco Safari, and that means a ton of time spent meeting new people in the community and catching up with old friends. Trail time is one of our favorite parts of Bronco Nation, seeing everyone have fun, show off some skills, and get more experience with their vehicle.

26:35 – Summer is nearly here, and that means even more Bronco meetups and events. We talk about some upcoming happenings, including Motor City Bronco Fest in Michigan, Bronco Nation Takeover Day in New Hampshire, Overland Expo PNW in Oregon, and more. Whether or not you know people coming into a drive, we can bet you will have a great time and leave with new people to hang out with at the next meetup. We hope you can make it to at least one Bronco event this summer, local or far. They change the game in Bronco ownership for nearly everyone in a great way.

31:01 – We start talking about how we plan on using our Broncos this summer and accessories we’re adding. Melissa and I both just purchased hammocks from Meraki Hammocks, made by Bronco Nation member Randall Brown. We also get into some of your “essential” additions for your Broncos. Tim Kiely, TK1215, one of our longtime members and moderators, joins us onscreen as well!

47:14 – Bronco Nation has added Project X lights and accessories to the Gear store, where members can save just by being signed in! We talk about Off-Road Connect and go through community comments and questions as well.

1:01:42 – BN member Scott Weisen, 512braptor, joins us on camera to talk about Moab and his rapidly expanding experience with his Bronco Raptor. Each time behind the wheel off-road will help you grow your skills and knowledge –– we had some great opportunities to improve this week already, with Off-Roadeo trail guides spotting, Loren Healy taking a group on Hell's Revenge, and talented members of the community sharing what they know. I can’t say enough about the value of getting to an event and doing drives with the Nation as we all learn and have fun together ... and we can't wait to see you at another event soon!
