they were actually awesome tires. they didn't wear out very fast. they are discontinued however, that's why 2 were bald. here's the story. a buddy of mine had the 2 used bridgestones and gave them to me. they had about a 1/4 tread left. i had them in my backyard for about a year when i got a job at firestone. i had the idea of buying 2 new ones with my discount, and running them with the 2 used ones until i could buy 2 more. well it turned out that there were no more. i got the last 2 in utah. i was gonna get 2 different 33's to go with the bstones but then my i decided to do upgrades instead. now i have 35's.

Well that just bites cuz i wanted to get those.lol maybe ill get lucky and stumble on some on craigslist or somethin.

whats the lift specs and tires for the first few pics on page 1?

in the first few pics i beleive it's got a 4" rough country susp. and a 3" BL with 32" procomp mt's on 15x10 steel rims.
 
Nice bronco! What are the round headlights off of? I was thinking of doin the same on mine. Thanks:icon_cheers:

The headlights fit on many vehicles. i bought them new. i got the bezzels and hardware from the junkyard off a 71ish ford truck. the swap is real easy. all you have to do is trim your grill and they bolt right in.

Sweet looking build man. What kind of springs are those? I'm definitely looking to get rid of my superlift 6" springs, as they are ridiculously stiff!

they're uh.... brown ones? i'm not quite sure what brand they are. i bought them along with the radiums arms and shocks from mojavesmostwanted on here a few months ago and i can't remember what brand he said they were. sorry.

Then i was a bone-head. i didn't have time to put the hubs on properly so i just slid the housings on to keep the dirt out. Bad idea. me and Caqm go to push it back outside with the fork lift and the hubs exploded!
