I've posted this on here before. I started with 35" MT Baja ATs from Discount, after taking back 6 times to balance, and 2 warranty replacements, I took it to a wheel shop. They said it was the worse balance they've ever seen, one wheel had 28oz of weights, same wheel balanced at 3oz. My new...
I'll keep looking, looks like the key hole and the electronics are the challenge for the compatibility. Worst case we try covers to see what it looks like. This a small part of the project to build a legit heritage.
Been searching for chrome handles (not covers) for the 2dr HLE, haven't seen anyone mention if Ranger handles will work on a Bronco. Anyone tried it? Does the HLE/Lux have passive entry? Sounds like it does, however the "without passive entry" cost more.
There is overlap with fitments on...
"MAY RESULT IN PARTIAL LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL"....yeah, I'm sure there will still be some partial control at 70mph.
2024 HLE, driver side was turning before 38ft/lbs, passenger side was just under 46. :facepalm:
Not cool. I'll go through it all next week, treat the new one like my...
You're in AZ, so you might be okay with Mek Magnet. In the PacNW, the rain gets down in between the Mek Magnet and body, the tacky stuff looses its stickiness and will peel off. I ran the xmas wrap for a month, only bought it to be a dork not for protection, a month was about the max it was...
I'm running 32-33 on my 37 Ds. I upped to 35 (they warmed up to 41) for a 600 mile drive this weekend, not sure but it seemed to help with vibration at 75+. I just need to get in for another balance.
I had a chance to look up the rims, larger bore size and width is too narrow for the tires. Not sure I want to deal with hub centric rings, likely a custom order.
Dean Wheels, I never heard of them but they have some unique designs. Haven't ordered them, just found a website...$$$$?! My wife found the white ones on Ebay, dunno the the deal yet. There's black for ya! https://streettracklife.com/en-us/collections/dean-wheels
That's great info, thank you for sharing! Wife picked rims today, Dean Cross, gotta check the specs and do the math tomorrow, just got home from wheeling.
I had Toyo ATs on a previous 3/4ton, they were so so. I do run Toyo studless winter tires my truck, they're amazing on compact snow and ice loaded with the sled deck.
Tried to find the 3Ws for sale anywhere, no luck for 17" rims. The 315 Rubitreks are only Load E, they looked good.
Sucks...
Lots of great insights on different tires have been shared that can help me and others on the forum where shared. Not everyone has the same use case for their Broncos.

Obviously the haters are here, I really appreciate the feedback from everyone else.
Wow, well over 20 recommendations! Wait for it...no clear winner! lol, shocker!
