What an amazing place to have a Bronco, I'm jealous though I bet your gas prices are pretty $$$. First thing I would change is the tires.

That’s the plan, but pretty sure that won’t help the mpg!

Congrats! I have a green Base hopefully being built next month. I drove a manual up to the early 90's so I'm looking forward to going back in time. Of course back then I used to light a cigarette and shift. 😂 won't be doing that!

One of my 1st mods, or work arounds. Took me 20 minutes to figure out how to leave my Bronco alone to go surfing. Worse than a puppy! 🤷🏽‍♂️

IYKYK!

Summoned up my best fabricating skills to make a front license plate mount.
Used the uninstalled OEM mount and fabbed up a simple bracket. Don’t have my plates yet so we’ll see if I run this spot or the low center option.

So that’s what my rig would look like in New York, with standard bumper, roof rack, no lift and 35s…Nice! 🤣

I just changed the wheels on mine ….. a little before and after

Was just on Kauai for a while. The gas there costs less than in LA.

No mods to get the big wheels to work other than removing the crash bars. No rubbing at all and ride is great. I found a guy with these wheels on his wildtrack with 1000 miles and he replaced with aftermarket. Also to note this is a 2.3 auto with standard gearing and it runs pretty much the same as before with the only real difference is the hit to the gas mileage
