Badlands NJ Marsh & Pines Build II

[kojack19]

Love your build! Curious to hear your thoughts on the Mickeys...They look like a great tire. A bit heavier than I would like but hopefully the durability is there. These came out around the time I got my Gen 3 Raptor. I ended up going with 37 BFGs but these just look like they belong on the Bronco.

You hit the nail with the weights.
I like everything about the MTs, however the only reason these aren’t 37” is the weight. #20+/- per corner is just too much.

BFG KO2 - 315X70R17LT FP Ford Performance - Load C - 62#
BFG KO2 - 35X12.5R17LT Raised White Letter - Load E - 66#
BAJA BOSS - 35x12.5R17LT Blackwall - Load D - 71#

BFG KO2 - 37X12.5R17LT FP Ford Performance - Load C - 63#
BFG KO2 - 37X12.5R17LT Raised White Letter - Load D - 69#
BAJA BOSS - 37X12.5R17LT Blackwall - Load D - 82#

If/when I go to 37” I’ll go back to the KO2s. (White Letter)
I’ve ran both tires and both have performed great, I just prefer the M/T

Wife‘s WT w/ HOSS 3.0 vs Mine

She was looking pretty beefy when she brought it home. I think I have her now.

Got out for an actually ride in the warm weather and grabbed some better images. Front end feels better now. not sure why. lighter.

Cutting the crash bar mounts is not a scary experience. The JKS kit really cleans up that space behind the bumper.

I'm only running 35's and needed the clearance for my King reservoirs.

The DV8 skid plate comes out too far for the King mounting brackets, and they sit really low in harm's way with them anyway. Now they're up high and protected by the bumper.

It looks so damn good like that! I just don't want to void my warranty.

How are the eibachs?

How are the eibachs?

I’ll let you know. theres still another days work on the lift. Alignment. Plus time to settle in. But they feel solid and look great.

Sounds great and just in time for the weekend. Bronco looks awesome-really great build.

sweet set up

Great build! I'm doing basically the same thing - just got make time to do the installs. I've got Eibach COs, Rock Jock control arms (upper/lower), Icon winch bumper, Warn ZEON 10s, and JKS tire clearance kit in the garage ready to go... How difficult was the rear upper links to install? For some reason I dread dropping the gas tank.
