Do you have the stock Bronco roll bar?
i know because i've already been there. tires that big are hard on everything. i couldn't steer worth a **** once i went bigger than 35s with mechanical steering.
just because ****'s a good deal doesn't mean it's a good idea. just sayin.
I was defending the 42's and no hydro...
I have cut broncos up, the metal that goes into the roof is surprisingly little. From what I gather in this thread he has body swap plans or something and does not want to do a full out cage, I would feel better wheeling it after buying one or 2 sticks of tube and putting a hoop with a kicker to the frame. It takes a day to do, you have the tools and it is cheaper than hydro or gears. I personally after seeing Cook roll decided a cage was important, before that I thought, oh it won't happen, Cook was amazingly lucky, neither him nor the passenger even had belts on! Look at Jimmy's Scout, he was not even doing a hard trail... Seacrest rolled while driving in the mud hole at alto this year... That **** happens and a stock bronco roof offers as much protection as pulling out does...
If he had the stock roll bar I was going to suggest tieing it to the frame and getting on with life.

actually, the pull out method is more effective than using a rubber!Quote:

Im sure your drivetrain can handle 42's....with that said, your 37's might give you better traction than worn swampers anyway. sometimes with tires, its quality over quantity. bald 42's can't take you anywhere more than treaded Toyo's.
The toyos are bald, tsls have a lot of tread except one
Yeah the tsls look better than your toyos tread
they did!Quote:

huh. i must have just seen the front right tread. in that case, the bronco looks badass on 42's.
Tommy doesn't have a front locker steering will be fine.
Have y'all missed the most important comment in this thread?! The guy is wanting to do a body swap, there will be no breakage or steering issue, because it will never go back together.
it will be on its way to china in no time.

I recall that destruction
Winching the body off a truck at 3am is a lot easier when the cops hold the light! :D
it was only 10
Punk ass neighbors!
The few beer cans you can see by the rear tires really dont do it justice.
Who has the video with the beer cans rolling around in the wind?
The claw at Bryan iron couldn't even touch that s&w cage.
I don't see why everyone is agaist the body swap

I don't think anyone is against the idea of a body swap, it's just Ford products have a history of shortened lives during major surgery when Tamor is involved. :gigem:Quote:

Exactly.
What is the reason for the body swap? Or has it been mentioned already?
Tommy wants to use the term "The Bronco" in regards to his own bronco but since my old bronco is "The Bronco" he is having to swap bodies in order to create the new "The Bronco"Quote:

What is the ultimate goal here? Not hating, but putting a semi-nice Bronco body on a trail rig will just result in bashing the shiat out of the new body.
TumTum you should put a Ranchero body and CJ grill on it!
Basically I told tommy if he will completely strip my bronco I will narrow it for him. I wouldn't expect the swap until summer time.Quote:

Agree with this, looks good. Wheel the piss out of it.Quote:

Goal: 12ish inch narrowed bronco body, all new wiring and make it somewhat nice looking (not that it won't still get the piss beat out of it)
Stock. 104"
