Well these came out nice. Professionally painted and not powder coated. I couldn’t find a powder that matched well enough.

So fancy! The 265/70-17 is going to look great. Looks roughly the same size as my 285/70-17 and the amount of tire sidewall showing isn’t too little. I’m honestly so stoked!

I might almost like it more without hub caps

Next is spare tire carrier. Either buy the icon one or fab one. I like that side better.

This is probably the most ludicrous thing I have ever done to my bronco. But I pulled my wild horses 1.5” lift apart and had it powder coated and all new zinc hardware.

The rattle can paint job on them just so ratty

The coating on those springs is absolutely terrible. Mine looked like someone coated them with a paint brush. I ran them for a bit then pulled them apart because they were rusting excessively. I did powder coating as well. Seems to be holding up great now.

Jonathan has been talking about launching them for sale to "mere mortals" for a year now.

They are going to launch it for sale. I wonder how many dollars they will want for it.


I just looked at the pics of the Icon tire carrier on their site. Very nice! If I had to guess, I would say $2,800-$3,500 based on other pricing. That is my guess if the bumper is included.

I would like to know where they sourced the latch.

Bumper wont be included, you will have to do that aspect yourself. They make the latch, or at least designed it and someone else makes it.

I’m working on longer studs for my rear wheels. I have the Chevy rear disk brake kit most vendor sell which is thick. Then my custom wheels are very thick. I really want to run 1/2” spacers (my axle is narrowed 2” total or 1” both sides) to bring my tires out slightly.

Arp 100-7703 overall 3.7” long with 3.25” being useable. Knurl 6.24

Moroso 46180 3” long with 2.87” useable. Knurl 6.18

Both are well made pieces. Hopefully the arp works since i like the gold and added length. Stock were 2” long. So the arp being a useable 1.25” longer and the moroso .87” longer. So both would work with my 1/2” spacers.

Both claim to work with Broncos.
