Gary Lewis Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Isn’t it! This is the worst panel. I am gonna knock it all down and rattle can it. It will look so much better, even if it is not a perfect color match. The rest of the rust treatment was minor front wheel arch stuff. I will probably strip the paint below the trim all around and paint. The trim is kind of beat up and i see it is available through LMC. I have fender flares to put on too so most of this work will be invisible, but I know the rust is dealt with. I think you'll be happy when you are done. Good luck!

Gsmblue Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 I think you'll be happy when you are done. Good luck! More progress, of sorts.. This may be a devisive choice, so lets see. I ordered new wheels and tires. I saw the Mickey Thompson classic 3 wheels Stein tried on Eddie and immediately wanted them. So I ordered them in 17x9 and having them covered in KO2s in 285/70 with white letters The look may not be for everyone, but i am reasonably confident it will work with the body lift. I have 2 inch fender flares going on to try and cover them a bit better, not a fan of the wheels/tires sticking out. This means I also need to sell the wheels/tires on Espy. If anyone needs them pls make me an offer! I found this pic of a later Bronco with the same size wheels and tires - tires are a different brand.

I think I’ll like them better than on the later Broncos. I’m interested in your wheels. But I’m unsure of what to offer for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat in tn Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Ok,thanks! the wheels should not get wasted. personally, I like the originals better but that's why all the different ones are made. I like the mickey Thompson's too. not a fan of the bfg's though. I just removed a set from my expedition due to the noise. I want quiet in the family vehicle. however, the falkens I have on bubba are far more aggressive than the bfg's and are nearly silent and have been the best off road tires I have ever had.
