Bronco's 1st offroad trip!

Finally got the opportunity to take the bronco offroad! Tagged along with the Big Thompson Wheelers to flush people out of their adopted trails in the Lyons/Estes Park area and shut the gates for the season.
The bronco handled the trails wonderfully as expected, and I even got to break some trail on a small uphill section in about 12-18 inches of snow. (unfortunately this is where my hero 7 locked up so I don't have the footage).
We had a little surprise at the end of the day as we got blocked in by a totally stuck box truck.

The IFS setup with the disconnecting sway bar is a real game changer. I'm a mid-size truck guy, currently own a Gladiator Rubicon. If a Ranger Raptor or Colorado ZR2 came out with the disconnecting sway bar I'd likely swap it out.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

it's quite impressive how well it handles the trail.

[@etmccaus]

Great vid. As soon as I saw that truck pinned on its air tank I knew things were gonna get worse... ;-)

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Congratulations on your new Bronco!

[@markreetz1001]

The Christmas Tree lovers were shaking any loose needles off their trees. If they keep that up they won't have any needles left! Cool video Justin!!

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Lol!!

[@sassinator21]

Cool to see you helping keeping people safe and still having fun. I wish I was home to help but what’s funny is I just edited and posted a video I did back in June on pole hill! Lol. Thanks again Justin

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video thank you!

[@fordlav]

Congratulations glad everything is working out well

[@JustinKingOffroad]

So far so good

Wow first Aloha from Honolulu Wish I could’ve stayed in Colorado

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Hello to Hawaii!

[@davidhillbrand2302]

I can only image the "comments" that were made with the driver of the delivery truck! Great video.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Everybody has a bad day eventually lol.

[@TechFan]

10/24 here, think you were in the 10/31 club. Congrats on delivery!

[@JustinKingOffroad]

I was 10-17. But took delivery 11-10. That train ride was painfully slow.

[@TechFan]

@@JustinKingOffroad Delivery here was 11-28 with a 10/24 blend, BL Area 51. Congrats again!

[@ACSforEpic]

I am a Rubicon guy first but let’s see what the Branco has!!

[@JustinKingOffroad]

bronco kept up just fine yesterday. touched the bottom one time that I heard.

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

I ordered a Renogy DC to DC charger, got a great deal on black friday sale

[@JustinKingOffroad]

That's what I put in! 40 amp.

[@clankylanky]

Nice!

[@250000yota1]

Very cool video. Haven't done Pole Hill in a couple years now, looks like it hasn't changed much. One question for you, how do you like the Goodyear Territory tires on the Bronco? I've got an opportunity to buy a set fairly cheap, but I'm hesitant on such a new tread.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

They are very quiet on the road compared to a mtr, but man they throw everything up the door!

[@250000yota1]

@@JustinKingOffroad I’ll be curious how you feel they do in the long run, it you plan on keeping them a while.

[@VideosOffRoad]

Awww man, I really wanted to see how that box truck got out. IF it got out...

[@JustinKingOffroad]

the tow company went back up after we all left and dragged them out with a flatbed i believe.

[@VideosOffRoad]

@@JustinKingOffroad Thanks for the update.

[@Pops_607]

Great video. Miss you going out with your recovery team … What phone was that at the end?

[@JustinKingOffroad]

I'm trying. The action is too far away to justify right now. Ive caught a bug that has kept me home all week this week too... But my phone is the pixel 6 pro.

[@Pops_607]

@@JustinKingOffroad feel better…. 73

[@f2cmadmaxx]

What were you aired down to?

[@JustinKingOffroad]

I was running about 13

[@JACK-en2ro]

What radio are you using? 🤔

[@J.Young808]

Did you have to pay markup? What spec is your Bronco?

[@JustinKingOffroad]

no markup. but it was MSRP which i've never paid before. this is a badlands with the sasquatch package. checked every box except leather and the upgraded front bumper since i was gonna replace that anyway.

[@simsational...]

The forest circus should shut their gates...or leave them open for the Public land owners.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

I did wish they left them open year round. The snow will close them out

[@Coolhansolo]

@Justin King Yes definitely leave them open !!

[@ronparker7112]

I had no idea you where a celerity, PS Ron not Rob LOL

[@JustinKingOffroad]

My apologies on the name mixup!

[@zekeabercrombie3583]

How did the box truck get out of there?

[@JustinKingOffroad]

waited for a big wrecker to come yank it out by force

[@TheRayDog]

What tires were you running?

[@JustinKingOffroad]

These are the factory Goodyear territory mt

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Trust me and listen closely Justin: upgrade your tie rods...RPG and Fabtech make ones that won't bend or snap nearly as easily.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

i actually have spares here, and some simple reinforcements i was going to put on after christmas. didn't want to mess my alignment up before i went out of town for the holiday.

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

@Justin King good point. My buddy had pretty much the same Bronco as yours, and we had to upgrade his. They broke super easy when crawling. Ford sells their upgraded package now as well.

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

I think the straight truck needed turn-assist. Should have at least had chains on.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

if you're talking about the box truck that was stuck, yeah, chains would have been the way to get up there without getting stuck.

[@alextrainor2552]

A straight truck has a flat bed. This is a box truck.

[@huntergirl7275]

Is your new toy an automatic?

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Oh yeah! Almost the only way to go for that finesse in complicated obstacles.
