Hello fellow Broncovites. Replaced my 2013 JKUR with a 2024 Bronco Raptor. I beat the hell out of the Jeep in the hard coal region area of eastern PA. and plan to do the same to the Raptor. No stranger to nasty stucks and roll-overs, I plan to break the Bronc in a bit before testing its meddle in the slop and rocks. So far, the truck is impressive and my only real problem I anticipate will be wedging it into some of the tighter spots the Jeep would easily access - I anticipate the paint will be scraped off those pretty fenders flares relatively fast! Happy to be here and looking forward to getting this thing out west to the Moab region and Pismo Dunes as well. Hopefully I'll meet a few of you on the trails. Merry Christmas!

awesome to have you here, @Bad Rap! Username checks out with what you've told us lol. I've heard other Raptor owners PPFing their fender flares, with good success -- but it sounds like battle scars are ok with you. I'm sure you'll love it out in Moab and the dunes. Are you thinking of doing Bronco Off-Roadeo at some point too, and beating up on someone else's for bit?

Congrats and welcome. As you know and will soon find out, the Braptor is significantly wider than the JKU and wheeling in the East takes a bit more finesse in between trees and tight rocks. But, honestly, wheeling in the Braptor is practically cheating because it is so damn capable (and comfortable) as compared to my JKU.

I recently stealth PPF’d my Raptor including the flares and it was unscathed after some nice off-roading a couple of weeks ago - if you want to preserve your exterior it’s a great option!

We have an event in northern NJ this Sunday 12/22 and we would love to have you! Check out www.tristatebroncos.com for details.
