Wow! Nice Rig!

Yeah it seems to check out pretty nice. She literally is besides herself with all the excitement. Funny part of it is I have to drive it home for her because she's never drove a stick.

I liked those Broncos. I used to work at Phil Long Ford on Wadsworth in Denver back in high school when those were still out. We would take the tire dressing from the detail bay and put it on the tires and do burn outs. I should have been fired, multiple times, from that job......

On the tires, I'd go 33x12.5r15. Personally, the 10.5s would look way too skinny on a vehicle as big (and wide) as that. As far as type- any of the usual popular choices: BFG A/Ts or M/Ts, Duratracs or MT/Rs, any of the Treadwrights......

Ha glad to know I'm not the only one guilty of miss using cleaning supplies.
After looking around she's probably going with the BFG ATs. It's primarily her daily driver with occasional weekend camping and light wheeling.

That's awesome!! I'd do 12.5 just because it's so big.

not a ford guy by any means but my dad had a f150 around the same year with a lift on it. My guess is it had a crappy lift and ended up cracking the frame in about 5 different areas including the cross member and controll arm brackets. My suggestion it to check that out before it get to bad. It seems like that's a very nice rig and probably is not the case for it. But cant hurt to look over.

Put some new shoes on her today. Ended up with 33x10.5s BFG all terrains.... Not ideal IMO but it was the best option for daily driving in that size.


I know the face:oops:
Oh the joys of owning a full size. So many finical perks!

That's a sharp lookin Bronco. Love my 5.0 & 3rd gear gettin on the freeway, just keeps winding & winding. Easy to catch up to traffis flow from 55 to 75 with no trouble even at 235,000 miles.

Gotta be strong when you fill up that 33 gal tank. It's hard not to cry. But I am thankful it's not my old RV I am filling up every 2-3 weeks. 40 gal + & 3-4 mpg in the mountains.
