I think your Bronco needs pink shoes too.Fingers crossed! There's a few other Sports in the Show and Shine which is nice to see.
So how’d it go?Fingers crossed! There's a few other Sports in the Show and Shine which is nice to see.
It was a little odd. @LBinWNC can attest. There were three other Sports in the competition that were almost entirely stock except for different wheels on a Heritage and bug guards and window deflectors on two Outer Banks. I seemed to be the only one there with 3+ mods like the sign-up requirements stated (at least visible ones, I could be wrong). The Heritage got runner-up and one of the OBs got first. It was the same with the Big Bronco category...the one that got first was definitely not the most impressive to me and my boyfriend.
Thanks for the update & thanks for going out there to represent the BS! Judging is so subjective, they can always give some criteria then pick something totally different anyways. Good on you for going at it another year & I hope the vendors come out then too next year!It was a little odd. @LBinWNC can attest.

I don't understand how it was judged, but maybe my late entry or the fact I wasn't prepared to sit with the car all day set me back? Either way, I'll be back next year with more showmanship that you can imagine and an awning/chairs to sit by it all day. Also have a few more mods planned, but if it was judged based on mods, I think I should've won yesterday.
Additionally, the actual event did not have anything for Sports. Not a single vendor dedicated any table space to Sport-specific products, even the ones that I know make Sport stuff like Rally Innovations and Oracle. It was cool seeing a vendor hall full of suped-up big Broncos, but it was sad to see one lowly stock Big Bend parked in a far back corner of the building just sitting there, not even associated with a vendor, but more just checking a box. I left with some Bronco merch but I was unable to find anything for my Badlands. I hope they include the Sport a little more next year - I told several vendors about "wish list" items we've discussed here on the forums.
Ah nice, very cool! Would you mind sharing what else you've done with it? Did one good walk around but only noticed the wheels and some interior trim replacement. Looking at the photo, I do see a skid plate and different style of fog. Nitto was the featured sponsor for the event, correct? Neat opportunity to be able to park at their booth.
Here’s our “heritage with wheels”. We were invited to the Nitto booth, which was exciting. We actually took home 1st place. My favorite part was meeting the 2 couples from FL. They were so nice. I worked really hard on the sport. We have about 10 mods, so I guess people didn’t bother to look closely. Anyway, we had a great time.
Awesome photos! I did get a kick out of Big Kahuna. And oh man...you've got a Braptor? Would love to see pics! I was admiring how beautiful they are up close...that interior is really incredible. All the creature comforts plus every bit of capability you could ever want out of an off-roader. Glad you were able to get your Sport off pavement, too!
Yeah. Nitto was the title sponsor. We have all the RTR stuff. The wheels, lift, floor mats, trunk liner, and recovery kit. Nitto tires, Baja Designs fogs, JCR bash plate, AFE intake, and Magnaflow exhaust.
