I have not towed anything yet. I bought her strictly as my off-road adventure truck.
Kind of nice seeing both extremes of off-roading. The Bronco has been through more than a few wars off roading and now I'm seeing the high speed side of things.
The ol' 68 does need some TLC after46 years of some pretty rough 4-wheeling!

Nice! That's basically what I bought it for also just hoping I could tow the bronco around as well. I'm in the same boat as far as a life of slow crawling to high speed Wheeling. For what it is the bronco handles amazing high an low speeds. Fox all the way around and devers in the back work out GREAT! I purchased the fj a while back and LOVE it other than the lack of power. I've taken it all over the nation in most every terrain we have to offer and has never failed me. Just can't tow anything! So here I am with a bit of an upgrade on power and plan on testing her pretty hard. STOKED!

We always kept the Bronco fairly stock (although we did have several custom campers on it) but there wasn't a 4 x 4 around that could go where we went! There's more than a few stories with Sherpa! You'll love that Raptor though the more you get her off road! Have fun and maybe someday we'll meet at an outing! Enjoy!

Welcome. Nice bronco. Love that generation.

Thank y'all! I'll try and get some more pictures up soon. She's back in Houston right now so it may be a while for some new ones but I've got a ton.

Welcome. Use to live just south of you off Seattle Hill road close to Snohomish. Congrats on the Raptor, and I love the Bronco, had a blue one a while ago with a 302/automatic. Great little truck. Wave at my kid when he flies over, he's stationed at Whidbey NAS.

Welcome. If you ever want to see how your Raptor handles the Oregon dunes, let me know. I live in Olympia and frequent the dunes on a regular basis. Here's a sample.

Wow!!! Sign me up! Thanks for the invite and the info. Plan a weekend this month? Even more stoked about my purchase now
