Cool build you have going so far, ill be checking in to see what you think of the IROKS after a few more outings and miles. Welcome to T4R.org also!

 

[zombiescustoms]

Thanks, I ran them on my Early Bronco I built a few years back,and really liked them, they are great in the snow and are really sticky on the rocks, and @ 150/tire you can't go wrong! they may not wear as long as some others, but this is not a DD so I was not concerned with super high mileage out of them.

:welcome:

I like the bronze wheels on white.

No kidding?! I've got an EB also. I'm from GA originally and used to go to a ton of the eastern Bronco events.

Regarding the IROKs i know they hook up, i've been really intrigued lately at their emergence as a DD tire for more and more people. I would love to try a set of them one day. My tires always are destroyed from offroading long before they wear out from the street. :wacko:

Here is my EB, sold it about 4 years ago, missed it hence the T4R purchase.

Nice! You wasted no time, I see! :thumb:

Great looking rig, and those wheels, even though I still prefer the factory 5 Stars, are loads of improvement over the split spokes.

 

[heyoceanfloor]

The color on those wheels looks great and nice work with everything else so far too!

Judging by those wheeling pics I see sliders in your future

edit... I just re-read the first post... I see that on your future list. RTFP Mike!

How much lift did you end up getting with them ome 861 springs? what size tires do you have on there.

i have almost 30000 miles on my iroks. lots of miles on pavement. but hook up great in sand snow and mud. definitely rotated them way more then most tires but for a swamper thats expected. overall i can foresee a nother set when these are done for

 

[ADVtotheBeat]

Dude, I love the simplicity of your build. The discreet adventure/backcountry machine!

Great job!
