I was saying my brother and sister are a lot younger and i had to take care of them as babies. I had enough of doing that so it makes me not want to have babies.

Hahah jeeze guys. I was trying to nicely say i don't like kids all too much

You know, i was never super fond of the tire carrier on the back. It is one more thing you have to open to get to the back. Plus they didn't look that great. Now when i think about it it would be sort of nice to have they way i could strap a jerry can to it for extra gas. The other problem is i don't have a spare....

I had two rear wheel caps for the back in perfect shape. I put them up and can not for the life of me find them. We did a spring cleaning looking for them and they just ain't here.

I have a original Bronco tire cover as well but it won't fit the 31X10.5 spare.

Hope I never use it along with the 33X12.5's on her now.

What?! You have 33's on the truck and your spare is a 31...Thats alot of work for a spare that isn't the right size. Do you plan on getting a 33 for a spare?

I never was too fond of the rear tire carrier because you have to lift the tire up there. We have some sweet tire carriers on our Humvees that have a little ratchet built into the arm to raise and lower the tire. Hmm I need to figure out how to mount one to the Bronco.

Now is it rattling cause you don't have the rubber bumper thing in there? IIRC there should be some rubber thing similar to the little bump stops on the frame. i thought i had seen those in the jy ones.

A ratchet with a cable like on the underside of some vehicles? You should post a picture and grab like 10 of those if you can so you could mail some out to your best friends I am damn sure i could find a use of one.

The bumper is there and looks good. I just don't think it was ever tight from the factory. It needs new bushings on the swing. And I will get them ordered as soon as someone goes in and puts some funds in the account I use for online buying. Damn I wish I could find the hub caps. It would look so much better. I guess maybe I told to many people what they are worth.

I have two more 33's and wheels. Maybe I will mount one on there with the chrome spoke wheel if I can't find the caps.

Yeah haha a spare would be nice. I would look at a spare but my tires were $200+ each and i would rather not trust an old worn out 35. Besides i think my 35s have a tough enough side wall to run a little with no air. Plus they are pretty thick tires so i doubt they will get a hole anytime soon. I still have the stock spare but it is along side my house. I want to say it is about a 31 and the rubber is old but i could re0use the rim for a new spare.
