STROPPE -Baja- and her mods!

Which is why I'm holding off on those wheels.

Yea, I debated that as well. And you are correct in that in order to.get, even close to, the original wheel depth the poke would have to be significant. However, nothing, no wheel of any design would correct the issue of the fender depth to axle/brake/suspension and steering linkages issues prohibiting a deep set wheel in the current G6.

The way “BAJA” should have came from the factory for sure! Just a few more touches before she gets released from the painters. Then have a color matched cactus smasher to get installed, color matched rear recovery loops, custom painted BYOD phone/ accessories rail, white ford performance diff cover and some rpg goodies.

Random but where did get all of the paint codes to give to the shop to paint your rig?

The Stoppes list the color on the door jamb as YZ (Oxford White). The orange applied by Penske is CN (Code Orange). The top is B3 Atlas Blue Metallic Pearl.

He was able to look them up with the vin and build data.

I am curious of the dimensions or MT part number though if you have them.

MICKEY THOMPSON Canyon Rim 17X9 6X139.7 Offset 0 Polished

Pretty sure this is the size based on the old order off of eBay. Mickey Thompson no longer makes these wheels for the Bronco though they will custom make a set out of a billet piece of Aluminum for a very nice fee. I did find a place with them on eBay, took a chance, they were perfect.

Next up different Tires... Have a Set of Mickey Thompson BAJA LEGEND EXP on the way

No BF Goodrich's? Rod Hall would be disappointed

Rear drawer system I have designed and been working on to help with storage but also have a flat surface for hauling, fold rear seats down and add both forward panels or just fold one down and add only one panel. System is fully bolted in and so far no ratels and noise coming from unit. Few final touches to do and adjustments than all out and to powder coat and install with foam decking on top.

Yep I highly doubt anyone will be restoring a 6G Bronco 50 years from now.

Probably the same.exact sentiment back in 66 - 77 when folks plopped down $4k of their hard earned money on a 'Ranger' edition, an 'Explorer' edition... or one of the Bill Stroppe highly modified ones.


Yet here we are. Glad I bought mine 25 years ago when it was relatively unfashionable. I couldn't afford to buy a 1st gen like mine now.

Was looking at these for my ‘71. I’m running 32”s now and they only have 33s So I’m evaluating going up a size. How are they as far as noise?
