Looks killer! I really like that.... Why is that tire so small?
I have 5 35 inch tires sitting on a pallet waiting on Rims, but the Lift kit probably effects the look of the tires.

I'm testing out everything I'm going to do when my Bad Lands get delivered. This is a test bed, and I'm enjoying the ride.

Ooh ok. That makes sense now. The wheel wells were so empty. I thought maybe it was snow tire related.

Looks cools, but painting the thin surface ribs has now created an insulator that will keep the rotors form cooling as well as the uninsulated bare metal. Being those edges are hidden by the wheels, why did you paint those?

Nice job! Red calipers are nice and the red white and blue bronco is sweet...but, in my opinion, the old school Bronco badge should be above the Big Bend badge.

I am really looking forward to any brake upgrades that come out after hearing brakes aren’t so impressive.

Most manufacturers now epoxy cote the disc non wear surfaces, the epoxy is a primers type finish. Its too keep the rust from forming while sitting around.
