Thanks everyone for the advice on my new Bronco. I'm looking to jump right into things, and I'm trying to search as much as I can so I dont have to repost things, but for some reason the search feature is terrible on this site. So here are some questions..

I'm going to be using this truck a lot as a plow truck, but during the summers I also want to pull the top off and have some fun. I've already read up on how to pull the top off, doesn't seem to be a problem. But I want to get some bars for the back. It'd be nice if they were functional (not going to be climbing much) but doesn't have to be. But what bars would actually fit under the cap, being that I'd need it on during the winters. I've seen some of the squarish ones, but I'm looking for a 2point where it angles down.

Also looking for flood lights, any shops online that you guys reconmend or anything?

As for the bronco, the thermostat was stuck open, which let the car overhead (antifreeze didn't stay in the radiator long enough to cool off?) Which lead to the blowing of the upper radiator hose, and in my attempt to cool off the engine by turning the heat on, busted the heater hose as well. I'm getting the thermostat replaced and gasket (might have warped it in the heat) but luckily the engine didn't seize up.

One last thing, the truck came with Pirelli Scorpions. I heard from someone that these are great tires, is this true? The tires only have 400miles on them, and I had wanted to lift the truck 4" and put 35's on it, but being that these tires are really good tires, I might wait a while..

Thanks!

I put about 30K miles on my Pirelli's before I got my lift. They still look brand new, great tires! You can find all sorts of lights like KC's or PIAA's at most auto parts stores or any of the online sites like Summit Racing or Jegs. I remember seeing a rollbar for a Bronco made by Smittybilt, but don't know if they still make it. You can always have one made or cut down one made for a pick-up truck and have the base re-welded.
