Yeah that's awesome Jim I think you'll love it as long as you can keep putting gas in it! The military take-offs ride a lot better than everyone makes them seem. It will come together nicely, man and make sure to post lots of pictures hopefully you can inspire someone to do something different.

I have some pictures of the wheels finally!


This is how they looked beforehand they are dirty in this picture.



Here is an after picture of my spare, it has a little bit of shine to it but it's not a real glossy finish or anything which I am happy about. I later took off got the overspray off the tires no pictures on the truck because it's been raining everyday here for the past week and I live on a dirt road so its not the greatest..

Some pictures of the GF's Bronco II


This is how it looked when we first got it



Pretty basic looking vehicle the color is what caught our eyes and no red interior!



This is after a 2" lift we found some wheels and tires off a Wrangler, replaced the mirrors from chrome to black ones and painted the bumpers.



We are apparently going with a Halloween themed truck here Orange and Black. We blacked out the wheels but we used the peelable paint so if she doesn't like it later we can just take it back to chrome.



Also getting started on some body work it's finished for the most part but just no pictures yet
