What brand did you get?

I've been looking at those all day. Mickeys, Dick Cepeks, BFG MTs.
Yeah thats the only way that the 35"s would have fit on mine too. I dont want to cut anything on this truck.


I actually need to get new tires for it due to them almost being wore down and they are also old too and have sat for many years. The ones on them now are BFGs. I seen some that I loved at the mechanic that had the truck at that I think were Toyos and had a nice aggressive tread on them like I want to put on it.

These are cool.


The tire that is.




Those wheels are like $109 a piece. They are on closeout right now, but I've got so many other things to get first.

I really like that tire. Thats pretty much the aggressivness I am looking for. You got to have tires like that on a 4x4 right??

Oh I know what you mean with having other things first. Teh first thing I got to change on this truck is the rear gears and the tranny.

Yeah. The dang tranny on the Bronco is iffy. But because its a '96 I should be able to pull codes out of the computer to help diagnose. I think its OK. It does have 113,xxx mile or more, but I need a few more years out of it. E4OD's arent as cheap as Mustang AODs.

Well. I'm off to bed. See you later Dirk.

We'll see.

The bumper above is like $900 and takes a winch, but of course thats extra.


So I'm thinking I'll get the stock bumper for now and the pre-runner bar and in couple of years I can upgrade if I want and sell off the old one.

Either way everything I do will be sprayed in black bedliner material. I love that stuff. It looks bad *** on a 4x4 too.

So the Bronco would probably look like this, but imagine the bumper isn't chrome, but black, without any trim or holes in it. Then the pre-runner bar will be black too.


The lift is just about right too.
I personally like that one best.

How about this one?


In black of course.
That looks too tacked on...in a bad way.

Goodnight Gary. I'll be here for a while.

Gave up. It only works for IE and of course the crappiest excuse for a browser from all time keeps freezing. Had to write like 50 words in either imperfect or preterite depending on the sentence, and I lost it all.

I have a secret, but you guys will have to wait until tomorrow to find out.
Glad you are feeling better! It's tomorrow already, what's the secret?

Excessive would be the right word. Sorry, not feeling it.
I'll echo that sentiment

I've just never been a fan of those baja bars...because basically, I've never understood the point. If you're going to launch your truck off a jump, and come down on the baja bar, it's not going to stop the bumper from getting crunched...

that honda however, is badass

I do love simplicity.

The only thing with that one is nowhere to mount lights.

And in response to David, the only reason I'd use a Baka bar is a place to mount lights. That's always been what I thought they were for.

you cant mount anything on the top of it? it seems like theres a good shelf area to mount Hella Hellas



also, there is a petition to make Hella into a legitimately numerical term. If it works... "Hella" will be equivalent to 10^27
