I want to see this on 44s:

I normally like Chip's work, but there should be one simple rule... DON'T SLAM 4x4's!
The exception would be the Russians at Garage 54: https://www.motortrend.com/news/hummer-h2-tiny-13-inch-wheels-video-shop/
Best looking H2 ever!

I would've ditched those huge 13 inchers for space saver spares all around

I don’t think he has slept in 20 years. He always looked tired on Overhaulin’.

If you want cars with off road tires... the Russians at Garage 54 got you covered again.

I assume those are spindles attached to the ifs suspension. If so not sticking them out a full foot past the car would make the springs more effective and not squat so much. Probably like that for the turning radius but well placed limiters and fender massaging would help that.

Looks more like a Comet than a Bronco

I'm thinking "62 Falcon with the top chopped off

Thats what i see in it. It would be great with the roadster doors too.

There's a very good reason why Ford doesn't produce 2WD Broncos and 4WD Mustangs.

Those are honestly two of the coolest vehicles I could ever dream of. The bronco could defintily use some 15 in mags instead of that big rim junk but thats an easy fix. The mustang has some serious wheeling under its belt. The rear boggers were cut for more rear traction. If its got BBF in it, it may have enough to pop the front end up a bit. Also i would have grooved the fronts for side hill traction so you can steer and climb at the same time.

People may want to hate on something because its not perfect or period correct, but custom aint custom unless its custom!

But what do i know. I am restoring a 1980 Eagle wagon thats lifted 2 inches and runs on 28x8.50 superswamper tsls.

That thing is sweet. For a modern off road vehicle 17” wheels is definitely the best, just so many options.

I like 18” as well, I’d be tempted to put them on my Bronco for upgraded brakes. But you gotta be running at least a 37” tire to look good.

For me 16s are only allow on sports cars and 17s are only allowed when its got bigger brakes or made after 2000 or so. 24s and up are only allowed on hurricane donk flood mobiles. But then again this is for me. Everybodys go their own flavor. If i had a choice every car would have 15x10 hurricane/typhoon/cyclone/turbines with knock off hubs(for offroaders the wheel mounting surface would be keyed). Just waiting on that powerball win. Anybody want to win for me, hawaii doesnt have a lottery.

Those were great pre-suvs! I was selling cars at a Dodge-Plymouth-AMC-JEEP-Renault dealership in the 80's and they were a sleeker alternative to the Cherokee. Weird floorpan, though.

Nice Eagle. I have looked at a couple for sale over the years, my concern was replacement parts. I suppose at some point you are forced to just substitute/retrofit anything that needs replacement with something more modern/easily available. Definitely unique and fun!
