You know the old expression- if it looks stupid but it works, it wasn't stupid after all. This expression is CLEARLY inadequate to cover this picture.

So the guy has easily $2K invested in wheels and tires, but won't spend $200 on real fender flares??? Wonder if this was a quick fix to pass state inspection or something like that.


Gotta be outside of Walmart. Classic.

Those look like awful small wheels to put on 3/4 ton axles. If I was going to the trouble of putting a Dana 60 under a Bronco II, I would at least have some seriously large tires on it.


Don't know what the front axle is, but it looks pretty small.

And that's a passenger side drop for the front drive-shaft! Or is my eye deceiving me?


I like this pic, it raises more questions than a simple 'wtfluff kiddie pool fender flares?'

Good eye Zark, looks like a passenger side drop to me too, but I can't count the lugs on the front, I count 8 on the rear for sure. And maybe what looks like a leaf spring on the front end?

I'll bet the kids were seriously ticked off when they came home on a hot day & couldn't find their pool.
