That's a solid piece of equipment. Thanks for the input on the half roof rack. Just ordered mine from CJ Pony Parts today.

You won't be disappointed!

And it's so easy to put together and take on/off the vehicle.

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T - 35x12.5R17LT (From Mickey Thompson):

So today I had installed a set of Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T tires, in a 35x12.5R17LT (Load Range D).

I'm coming from the OEM Goodyear 315/70R17, and am using the OEM Sasquatch wheels.

It's only been an hour or two since having them installed, however I already love them!

It's currently raining very heavily here, and wet road traction was a big important factor for me. These tires grip the road really well, and even when I floored it from a complete stop and took a corner, there was no slipping. I also took them over some very pot-hole riddled roads, and the Bronco felt more cushioned with these tires vs. the OEM Goodyears, where you felt every bump. These tires also appear to be quieter than the OEM Goodyears (I could be wrong, but they seem quieter to me), and they look awesome! Much more aggressive looking.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I definitely recommend these tires and the early experience with them has been positive.

Sorry, the pictures aren't great as it's pouring rain right now.

Damn I'm interested in a long term review on them, they seem like a good alternative to the OEM tires.

There's others on the forum running the same tires by the looks of it - Whether it's on their Bronco, or on another vehicle (@Silver-Bolt just mentioned he's been running them on his Raptor).

Since they seem to be highly recommended, they should be a good choice long term.

The D rating with a beefier sidewall appeals to me. I run S/t Maxx's on my Tacoma and the stiff sidewall has held up to years of abuse but I need to run 10ish psi to get it there and it took a while to break in. Not to mention the E rating made them significantly heavier.
