STROPPE -Baja- and her mods!

[Steve_In_29]

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.

My comment was based not on a lack of desire but on what will in all likelihood be the inability to source the multitude of proprietary computer modules and electronics the 6G requires.

The current Bronco is less a vehicle and more a computer that moves you around.

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?

They don't seem much different than the stock as on a noise level, so far happy with them, Time will be the true tell.

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.

This is awesome!!!!!

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.

Confused by this as I just put new ones on, I think exact dimensions you posted.

Is Mickey Thompson re making them?

BTW, they look great!

Evidently, as they are new and carried by summit racing, discount tire and others….thanks, I’m torn between this vintage look and black OEM ‘26 rims it came with

I wondered about that when Ford said they were going to produce the 4dr Stroppe. Good on them. When I was looking for my set, I called MT and they said, they had none in stock, and where not planning on making any, so they suggested going onto ebay to find them or they could cut me some out of billet aluminum for $1,300 per wheel.

Strange, as I also called MT and they referred me to Summit Racing so I assumed they sell through distributors. Discount Tire matched Summit's price.
