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.

Installed a bucking horse that my son made for me on his 3D printer. Bucking the opposite way of the logo (couldn't find an STL file that looked like the Bronco logo). Per other advice on the forum, used a 1/4"-20 tripod screw and a 1/4" wood insert (similar to this, but I got mine from the assorted parts drawers at the hardware store) that I screwed into the bottom of the horse. Painted it with a purple-blue reflective paint that changes color as you change your viewing angle.

Note that Bronco Buddies has a smaller horse that looks like the logo and installs into dash mount.

Switched back to the (Bestop) soft top today. Us New Englanders have to wait a bit longer than the rest of you . Also added the Mabett Fuse Box Cover, and the Mabett Roll Bar Covers. The installation of the roll bar covers wasn't quite as simple as the instructions said...if you have the speaker pods, you have to remove the lower bolt and loosen the upper bolts to get the inside piece in place.

Off road maiden voyage. Lagomarsino Petroglyphs and Old Geiger Grade OHV Trail (Toll Road) in High Desert of N NV.

360 camera views while wheeling in the mud ruts and rock crawling modes is like cheating. It is such a cool feature.

Also first oil change and multipoint inspection. 0W-30.

Went to the dealer to see about the Ford Pass issue showing the bronco in Dearborn... no luck there, but the parts gal, an acquaintance of ours, had a new coffee mug for.my wife... she's had one like it and my wife commented every time we saw her, so she ordered one for my wife! Color matching...

Please tell me you are getting a moar door. Looks more like a Chonco instead of a Bronco.

Definitely on my short list of future upgrades. How many miles and how bad did the oil look? Planning to do this before 5k miles.

1K and there was a lot of metal on the magnet and the fluid was black as coal with a lot of shine to it. Going to change it at 3K and at 6K, assuming the magnet is clean, I'll switch from Valvoline to Amsoil 75W-140.

I used a flashlight, small screwdriver and ice pick to remove the brake line clips. I think because my Bronco is only 3 months old the brake line clips have not had time to get brittle so they were relatively easy to remove without breakage.
