New Guy

[Refalova]

Just wanted to say whats up from Cleveland,Ohio. I just purchased this 1996 Bronco. I had it shipped to me from Cali. It's probrobly not what some of you like, but to each their own.









I also have some mickey thompson off-road tires/wheels for it, but hav'nt put them on it yet. O.J....eat your heart out guy

Yeah, ****** and Bling aren't really what you will find here. But, like you said, to each his own. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> That is very clean looking ride; looks like you found a gem. Welcome to Broncozone. We love everybody here, > even those with funny looking rims.

If you sold the rims you buy a lift and some real rims and tires

 

[Refalova]

Well i don't know what you mean by "real tires/rims" <_< But these wheels probrobly cost what your whole truck did. I do have a set of off road tires for the bronco, but i live right in the middle of the city, where the nearest mudhole would be 50 miles from me, so for me to ride on my mickey thompsons would be a waste of tire.



I have a new set of these on centerline beadlock rims, for when i want to go off road.

 

[Yardape]

I guess I kinda deserved that, but if you want to get into who paid what for their truck my truck cost $63,000.00 now if those rims cost more than that then I have no words. Who cares how much it costs its just money. Reminds me of when I we were kids..... oh yeah well my truck is bullet proof !!!

 

[Refalova]

Lol, no my wheels did'nt cost that much(geeze 63k :blink: ) But i do live right in the Downtown area, and the mud tires was pretty loud on the freeway. So i run 22 inch street tires in the city, and my Mickey's when i visit the country to do some off roading. I race a quad in the GNCC division, and got kinda bored with it so i bought the bronco to try my hand at something a little different than clearing 50ft doubles. My bad if i came across like some young kid.

This is the only off-road stuff i've ever known

 

[Yardape]

Have you tryed out the new Renegade 800? I've got my eye on that. Thats a nice Bronco you have there (well most of it LOL) Welcome to B-Zone

Yup, I wanna do a suspension lift,and a body lift first. I need to relocate the flip down tv, or do away with it,so i can remove the top, but my kids like the T.V. so i'm not sure what i'm going to do there. And, i don't know if it's the big rims or what,but the steering seems to wander a lil bit. It does'nt do it as bad with my off road tires on it, but it's still there. It handles bumps good, so i don't think anything is loose. I just got the truck, so i'm still working the bugs out of it. Some youngster had the truck, so i'm sure he just drove it and did'nt care about maintaining it. And i need to get the remote start fixed, because sometimes it starts by itself Those things should keep me busy for awhile.

Oh, and i need to peel that gawd aweful 22" of the side windows :blush: Those pics was taken about 10 minutes after the car hauler dropped it off at my garage.

The wheels came with the truck, but i had a friend price them @ american racing, and they wanted $600 per wheel/tire. So for the set w/spare was around $3,000.

No, hav'nt checked those out. I ride a Yamaha 660 raptor(sport quad) But i've heard good things about the Can-Am Renegade.

Maybe you could just make some kind of quick disconect for it. With the top off, there's no way to secure the contents of the truck and you won't need the movies anyway. From my experience, any kid (or adult) riding in the back seat with the top off if having to much fun to wory about TV.

Also, on your model, the two outboard seatbelts are connected to the roof. You will need to get lap belts for those positions. That's a real easy mod and those little ones are way too important to put at risk.

 

[Yardape]

You can just cut the wires and splice in a plug for the TV. I agree with Roadkill about the kids not worrying about TV with the roof off, My kids love it. They wouldn't watch it at all even if they could hear it.

The wandering thing is normal, Ive had two Broncos and one F-250, everyone of them wanders. I am pretty sure its just a crappy steering box design and they wear out too fast. As long as all your ball joints and tie rod ends are good you can get it fixed by replacing the steering box for about 200.00

Thats a heck of alot cheaper for those rims than I expected, I figured they would be closer to 6 or 7k

 

[Mike @ Tracy]

Too bad about the rims,..........That IS more than I paid for my Bronc. Now I feel bummed..

 

[bluesman17]

Mike you have to add up all the EXTRAS youve put on, then its more impressive, I paid 2000 for my truck but have about 8 invested

 

[Mike @ Tracy]

O.K. that figure looks a little better. But I've only had her for about 18 months so not a lot has happened yet.
