Hey guys!
After spending way too miuch time researching this, I poured water into my wine and am now set on ordering some 275/65r18 Mihcelin X-ice on 18X9 wheels with a +12 offset

OR
Using a 275/70r18 Blizzak again in LT for a 33.2 tire diameter.
Last option a smaller 265/70r18 Micelin Xice SUV tire that would be 32.6in diameter.
I worry...

In this thread I will document my “utility” bronco build.
1st step was to remove the backseats.(no photos, other threads explain this process)
2nd step was to mount thick carpeting to the the side to protect the plastics in preparation for the build. I also hope the carpeting is dampen some of...
I got my Bronco last week and first thing I did was to pull the bumpers and rust proof the frame.
I can confirm that the rust proofing that Ford puts in the frame is only on the middle part of the frame. The ends and the rear cross sections aren’t rust proofed from the factory.
