you need to repost this in the main bronco 2 forum to get people to see it....
for 37s and a 2.8 , you might need 488 or 513 gears to have any power...

When you go the cutouts, if you wanna get rid off your current flares let me know. I might be interested.

When you say pocket flares, are they the cut-out style or not? I'm trying to get an idea of the clearance of 35s on a first gen.

To me that looks like like they're just wider to cover your wide tires.

my mistake....they are extend a fenders i think.....

new wheels and rubber!! goodyear kevlar mtr 35x12.50s

got my cutouts for the front, anybody have an estimate how long it will take to put them on??

 

[Harley]

got the cutouts on...front was a pain...used an air nibbler to do the cut...much more tire clearance now! makes my 35s look small!!

Been following your build, very impressive. Very nice looking rig. Makes me think I've been neglecting mine too much. I really like the wheels, makes it stand out. What make are they?

 

[Harley]

Thanks! I still have lots more I want to do...my long arms are ready to put on now....wheels are eagles

 

[bronco2blue]

[Harley]

Thanks, I already bought some skyjacker arms....they look really tuff and well built....found out that i could get them for 200 for the pair! hope to get them on soon...

I really like your flairs you don't see those around.I like your console too went to the junk yard looking for seats and didn't see any consoles like that.It would be nice to have a way to hold a drink.

Looks good, keep up the good work. Next is an 8.8 rear diff and the list never ends or you don't have the Bronco 2 fever.
