Welcome to the Brotherhood!

The Ford Bronco Brotherhood of Southern California, (So Cal Broncos) is an association of Ford Bronco owners and enthusiasts from throughout Southern California.  Through our various online discussion channels we share tech and upgrade advice, plan runs and events, kick the tires and shoot the shit around our virtual campfire.  We aren’t just a classic car club; we believe in getting out and using our Ford Broncos the way Henry intended: on the trail and in the deserts and mountains.  So we try to get out for camping and off-roading trips as often as possible, including annual trips to Calico, Truckhaven (TDS), and our yearly blow-out in the mountains, the Big Bear Bronco Bash in June (always the weekend before Father’s Day). 

About So Cal Broncos

So Cal Broncos was founded on July 4, 2001, in the form of an email discussion group on Yahoo Groups.  That platform is no longer around, but So Cal Broncos has evolved into a broader disorganization spanning several social media, email and forum formats.  Check out the various places our Discussions happen and choose the ones that work best for you!

SCB members affectionaly refer to our little band of misfits as a “disorganization.”  We mean that literally, and we are proud of it.  We rather resent being called a “club”, as that denotes many things which we definitely are not.  So Cal Broncos has:

No Meetings!  Unless you count meeting at the trailhead for some off-road fun.

No Dues!  There has never been, and will never be, any charge to be a member of So Cal Broncos or attend one of our gatherings.

No Officers!  There is no power structure in place for petty-tyrants to fight over to control you.

No Vehicle Inspections!  It’s up to you to keep your rig in good working order.  We won’t police you.  But if you hold up the group, you’ll hear about it!

No Rules of Conduct!  Other than the general rules of civility that exist in a polite society.  Be respectful and kind.  Other than that, you do you.  Just know that assholes don’t do well in our group.

Horsethief Flat

Horsethief Flat

Jul 4, 2001

Located to the east of Baldwin Dry Lake, Horsethief Flat is a hidden valley located at the end of a steep, winding trail (FS Road 3N03A). While not overly difficult, the long climb out can be technical, as well as a challenge to cooling systems.
