Hello & welcome to my Bronco II Project.
I Know I said I wasn't going to start on it till the pinto was done,..but she is my daily driver,.. So I had to put the pinto on the back burner for a few weeks & get a head start on this one.

12-26-09
So I did a full tune up, brake job, a full fluids/filters change, new battery, etc.
I installed a Galaxy dx45mp 10 Meter Radio/CB a midnight special 500W linear & wilson 5000 mag mount. but a 102 whip will be installed soon!
I also installed a new sony CD palyer with usb & ipod connections. installed nos mb quarts in the door, & kickers in the rear.

I took her in today & got a set of 235/75/15 Goodyear Workhorse Extra grip A/T tires put on. I was impressed with the tire, I hit a few trails on the way back, & they are alot better than I expected for a A/T tire. they do have a bit of a roar on the highway. but nothing like the bias buckshots I use to run.
all in all, for the price, I like the tire ..
Now I just need a really good deal on some nice 15x8 wheels.
