so… was so busy I didn’t really get much… HOWEVER MRT was there and got some great drone footage! They are busy processing tons of footage!
they did release this clip. I’m leading this group!
So I just spent a long weekend in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with 250 Bronco Enthusiasts at Bronco the Mac. I helped scout routes. I led 4 trail rides. I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who seen my Sport in action say it wasn’t a Bronco. On the other hand I heard “wow I had no...
I went with the RTR 1.3” lift. Just wanted a mild lift.

agreed! The BSBL is pretty amazing!
so I actually downsized from a Bronco (modded) to a BSBL. ZERO REGRETS! I’m having way more fun in the Sport! It’s just more fun to drive to me! And they still let me join in! ?
I know it’s in the menus on my 2025. I’ll look for it later
The bottom of my driveway is steep enough to trigger it. It doesn’t just apply the brakes, it SLAMS them on! Scared the crap out of me the first time!
My 25 Badland does it but only when I park on incline/decline. I parked on a hill and when I got back to leave I noticed the parking brake was on. I’m like I know I didn’t put it on! So next time I paid attention. Not sure how much of an angle you need but if it’s enough it will go on...
they are lighter than the BFG KO2 in the same size. My issue is Discount Tires lists the KO2 at 34.5 pounds when in fact they are 44.2 pounds. Part of my decision on the KO2 was based on the incorrect weight….
The Mickey Thompson’s are 39 pounds.
We are 4 weeks away from Bronco the Mac! It’s a great event with every generation of Broncos! This will be the 3rd year! Last year I believe we had about 200 Broncos! Hopefully we can get some more Sports!

So just over 2 months with my BS. Coming up on 9,000 miles. I’m on my 4th set of tires. I buy a lot of tires so I didn’t feel guilty using the satisfaction guarantee. I had the KO2. I liked them but found them too heavy. I switched to the Mickey Thompson’s. They are lighter and more...
this is what we always called The Pit when I was much younger. ?. It is just west of Rose City and north of Rose City road. Of course the big hill is Bull Gap by Mio. I haven’t been there since the ice storm. Need to go back soon.
And good eye catching the plate cover! ?
Yep, I’m guessing...
for me I really haven’t needed a super low gear. What I have found is that I’m using manual mode to lock in first gear especially for a hill climb like this with a loose surface. Once the sport shifts it’s over! The sport looses so much power on the shifts and falls on its face… it has a...
I’m absolutely loving it!!! It is an amazing all around vehicle! I’m coming from a modded 2023 Bronco Outer Banks. The Sport is a better road trip vehicle and is capable enough to satisfy my offroading habit.
so like all videos it doesn’t capture just how steep the hill is. Previously I had tried that particular hill with my 2023 Bronco with mud terrains and couldn’t make it up. The Bronco just seemed to lose momentum and then just dig down. The Sport just seemed to fly up.
think the grinding noise is just the tires spinning in the dirt.
so in California and other CARB states the BS with get a Gas Particulate Filter similar to the ones found in diesels. GPF doesn’t require DEF though
