  1. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    Got some 35x12.5 R17 Toyo R/T Trails. Love em. Rugged Terrain vs Mall Terrain. ROFL Just kidding the GY's did well off road, just don't trust em for extended trips.
  2. Remove beauty rings to mount new tires?

    Yes. They actually balanced then put rings on. I asked they said its fine but they can do it either way. They also said they take rings off and put em on all the time, not just these wheels. Because they can get damage by tire machine. So good they had experiece with em. All good. now...
  3. Remove beauty rings to mount new tires?

    Ugh. Discount us removing them. Stripped at least one. Minor damage to one ring i don't mind cosmetic damage but will be tough to remove damaged ones next time. They left one ring on. So if its your first time. Review with shop. Best break em loose first time yourself, i think.
  4. First trail shakedown. Otay Mtn, Anza-Borrego Desert, Ocotillo Wells

    kool. OK so AWD makes sense for snow on pavement even rain. F150 could run slippery mode but had to turn it back to 2H. I assume you can run slipper mode and AWD. I'll try it next winter in mountains. Might be less wear and tear than running 4H all day in deesert too or constantly switching...

  6. E load vs C load tires - what's your pick?

    Great thread, good info. Thanks to all. Convoluted dark marketing magic are ply ratings... LOL I'm a E guy. Our group doesn't require it, but highly recommends E rated or higher. C rated seem to be the first to get cut down. (Southwest) Usually on Coyote flats, Death Valley periminter...
  7. Winch recommendations for capable bumper

    OK great feedback. So will call ADD now but this seems like best option so far: https://www.addictivedesertdesigns.com/collections/2021-ford-bronco-accessories/products/bronco-frame-horn-gusset-reinforcement-kit Maybe not maybe DV8 version? Mixed research on fitment? OK ADD says cant reuse...
  8. Winch recommendations for capable bumper

    Anyone have experience installing and using an IAG with Badlands Apex 12k synthetic? Thanks to OP Victorsen for thread. Love to hear more from anyone. This is my current plan. IAG said Badlands Apex 12k syn should fit. All Warns do fit. Reseach says some trimming, spacers might be needed? We...
