FIRST DIRT - Post your first adventure off-road in your Bronco

Hey Bronco Nation,

I know that there are plenty of people who have bought a Bronco and don't plan to take it off-road. However, in this forum, I'd think that most of us are planning to hit the dirt once we take delivery of our Broncos. This is our thread for memorializing and sharing that first trail you took your new Bronco on. Post a pic, tell where you went and how the Bronco did on its first dirt.

Something to get us started:

First of off-road adventure with my new friends at the KC Bronco Club. We hit a short trail with lots of mud and a couple slippery water crossings. Just a quick taste. Great start to new friendships. We had an actual Bronco Convoy to the trail.

Took her out for the first time this last weekend. We are hooked and can't wait until the next trip. Nothing to crazy as we are looking to the off roadeo In June for some tips and tricks

Just a quick shakedown run in the desert, don't want to get too crazy with open diffs until my winch bumper shows up.

It is huge! It is flat out striking! Belongs to our Club Prez who is also the Bronco Ambassador at my Dealership.

That thing looks awesome! Do you guys have any issues with roof loading when you're in the tent? I'm really bummed at the static load rating of these racks.

Dynamic Roof Load: 110 lbs
Static Load Limit: 450 lbs

Tuff Stuff Trailhead Tent: 110 lbs

My girlfriend and I are under 145 lbs each and I intentionally put my weight closer to the rear support. It felt sturdy enough for us but any more weight up there might be pushing it.

Driving off-road I could barely tell it was there. Around 15° side tilt it started to feel a little top heavy but not unstable.

We have a local group here in the PNW. Looking forward to a trip with members to somewhere cool.

I am not a leader. I just like to go first.

Less than 3 weeks after we brought her home, got her out on the trails at Turkey Bay ORV park at Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky. Perfect way to dive right into off roading.

I've heard the member map is a good place to find trails, however I'm dealing with some kind of glitch. Every time I click the link up top it says I have to be signed in to view the map, so I click "LOG IN" and it brings me back to the forum and says "you're already logged in." It's a never ending loop. Forgive me if it's something simple, I couldn't find anything in the forum regarding actual forum FAQ's, so figured I"d drop it here. THANKS!
