thank you for the recommendation! 8 or 9 lbs lighter per corner couldnt hurt either!

Glad you have you! you should definitely start a thread even if its just for pics of your adventures

happy to see another bronco on here!

Some good snow trips here in the last bit, no off-roading but good to check out some of the features in the snow. I still find the crawler gear crazy, I found a 15 degree slope (certainly not nothing) and placed the transfer case into 4LO and into the crawler gear, it just walked right up at 1...

I was very happy with a set I had on my Xterra, 235 80 R17 I wish they made 255 80 R17 I would consider for my Bronco

Agreed! I am really happy with them and are a large reason I picked the black diamond. Any other model below the badlands I would have needed new tires immediately.

Another minor update in the tire decision matrix, Falken has released their new AT4W tires, supposed to have better treadwear and better on the road. I noticed that the 255 80R17 size was 7 lbs heavier than the AT3W, turns out tire rack had their info wrong, and they have always been 58 lbs...

The alloys on the black diamond might be the best ones of the entire lineup, though I dont prefer black alloys. Its really a shame they killed the steelies, I wonder why? https://www.etsy.com/shop/Broflaps

Oh yeah, Steelies will never be going away, they are holding up really well (Powder coated I am told) but if the get rusty down the road ill just get another set Sadly Ford has discontinued the steel wheel on the black diamond, only option is the black alloy. For awhile I was going to run a...

Here is a list of the things that I would like to do this year at some point 1. Additional Light, after my nighttime run down those logging roads for 8 hours waiting for a Moose or Deer to run out i need more light out to the side and ahead. I am thinking of getting the ford Performance kit...

Nothing too crazy to report, I had another technical service bulletin performed on the 5/6 syncro gears in the transmission, it is definitely much quieter this time but who knows in long run, I think I can still hear it when really cold. I still have 125,000km of warranty left so problem for...

I can't believe I havent updated this thread in 7.5 years! This Xterra has been long gone, probably a couple years after I last updated this thread. I ended up having a supercharged 2002 for a couple years as well, but didnt modify that really at all except another set of 235 80 R17 tires. I...

Any updates?

For what its worth my 2022 Bronco is the exact same, clutch is furthest from the firewall, then brake then gas

not the easy choice, but the smart one! I had a 2001 xterra for years and ran 235 85 R16 I am going through the same thought process on my 2022 Bronco Black DIamond. Stock tires are 265 70 R17 but I am really tempted by 255 80 R17
