BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 Rocks-To-Riches Contest!

Well there is not much trail riding in Cleveland Ohio. However last year just after a winter blast my son and I decided to go trail riding though the snow covered streets. My original 1966 Bronco roadster is a survivor and has an amazing history not to mention a fascinating prior 2nd owner (2nd photo). While I could share a lot about this '66 Bronco I'll try to keep it short. The Bronco spent its whole life (except when I bought it in 2010) on two Texas ranches but the story really starts when original owner sold it in '68 to one of his young ranch hands, Wyman. At the age of 17, Wyman used this Bronco as his trusted steed to hunt on a 150 thousand-acre ranch in west Texas. Wyman who is an Official State of Texas photographer drove his truck through thick and thin literally all the way to and through college all while making extra money hunting coyotes and bobcats. After his college graduation he sold it in '74 never to see it again.... or so he thought. Anyways, another Texas rancher *** then bought the Bronco in ’74. *** used it daily on his ranch until I bought it in 2010. Now fast forward to 2013 and on a lazy Saturday when I was just looking up pics on the Internet for Bronco roadsters. I stumbled across the picture of Wyman. I mentioned to you I found the pic not in a Bronco website but Wyman's blog on winters in West Texas. As soon as I saw the picture... I had to try to contact him! Could it be I own this guy's Bronco.... what are the odds??? Needless to say after many emails back and forth along with VIN verification we proved I indeed have Wyman's "beloved Bronco”. Now there are many awesome trails I could think or dream of taking but I don't think any would compare to reuniting a “boy” to his once trusted Bronco or shall I say a cowboy to his trusted steed! How cool of a trip would it be to the 150 thousand acre ranch where it all happened so many years ago? A trip guided by a man who knows it best while riding in his "beloved little Bronco"!

This is Big Red. He's a 2007 F-250 XLT 4x4. I purchased Big Red December 2006. Red has always worn BF Goodrich tires. His BFG TA-KOs are close to needing replacing.
My dream trip is for the wife and I to drive the ALCAN highway. We'd love to take out time, enjoy the trip, do some fishing, exporing and off-roading along the way. Once we get to Alaska, more camping and fishing would be in order.

My dream offroad trip, would be to cruise the Australian outback during their Winter. What a chance that would be to truly disconnect from everything. Realistically though, I would LOVE to take my truck on a backroads trip like the one that Top Gear America did from Sedona to the Grand Canyon.
I will update with a few more (and recent) pictures later, this is all I have readily accessible and naturally I waited to the last minute to post (just as I have waited until the last minute to replace my current TA/KOs.)

My dream off road trip would be to ride the Sandy trails out to the Great Point Nantucket Island to do some striper surf casting. I'd have my boys in back and rods on roof. I used to fish the island years ago with my dad and BFG ATs were our tire of choice. They got us out of some sticky situations in the soft sand! A cooler full of stripers at the end of the day would just be a bonus!!!

Offroad Dream
BFGoodrich launched their all new All-Terrain T/A KO2 Tire and sent 11 trucks on a journey through the desert to compare and evaluate the tire on the trails.
This event, dubbed RocksToRiches, began in Barstow, CA and we traveled 150+ miles off-road through the Mojave National Preserve to end up at the New York, New York Hotel in Las Vegas. Our team was guided by Maka and Miro from Miromak.com in one of their ‘JEEPMAK’ Jeep JKs. Take a look at our dream off-road trip, as BFGoodrich now wants to give another user on the site a chance to win four (4) new BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 Tires by describing their own trip. See contest details at the end of this post.
Here are some great photos that were captured of the trip including shots of Ford-Truck users A/Ox4 and davewave649.
