Rick,
If you are looking for tires, try looking at www.summitracing.com as they usually have some pretty good deals. Pro-Comp is made by BF Goodrich and has the exact same tread design and "digger lugz" on their MT tires, and they usually run $10-15 cheaper per tire than the exact same BF Goodrich tires. I had 35" BF Goodrich MT's before my Pro-Comps, and they run just about the exact same. Good luck.

And don't worry about the TracLoc...it doesn't work anyway. [/B][/QUOTE]
Speak for yourself pleeeeze!
when I goose mine in 2wd on a sand covered asphalt parking lot, both sides break loose and spin, it's a hoot!
if the trac-lok didnt work, only one side would break loose.
you may have a worn out clutch pack in your rear end, when they wear out the axle behaves like a standard open diff.

i pulled a 98 exploder out of a ditch with my stock B'co and its front end was sagin about 3" from where it should have been and the tires were bald. The guy i helped was blown away, and told me he was going to go buy a Bronco, that was all the proof i needed

Swapping tires sounds like a good way to test them, I wish there was a tire shop I could try that at. This sounds like a dumb question but are you sure the 4WD is working. My Bronco has no problem keeping up with anything I have put it up against.

"This sounds like a dumb question but are you sure the 4WD is working."
it is definitely working.
"you may have a worn out clutch pack in your rear end, when they wear out the axle behaves like a standard open diff."
the rear was replaced including clutches.
I spun the wheels in 2wd and both rear wheels turned.

UPDATE!
Friday here in MD we got 6-10in. of snow. Drove the Bronco to work and it sucked big time. At lunch went to Sears and purchased bfg a/t's. What a difference. Not only in 4x4, but driving in general! The old reguls had a ton of tread but had the drifting issues mentioned on this board at highway speeds. With the new tires on dry road today it is like a different vehicle. As for the 4x4, took it up my 1/2 mile long ice and snow covered driveway in 2wd no problem. (then of course drove it through my fields in 4x4).
I guess I have never had crappy tires on my suvs before? Anyway these tires made a huge difference so i supposed Ill keep the bronco for a while.

yup, that field was just toooo tempting to leave alone, wasn't it?
I hope to be moving to northern Minnesota soon from Minneapolis and look forward to doing something similar.
Glad it worked out for you.....
