Overlanding is one my many passions, but another one is hunting. I enjoy getting out in the fall with my sons and do our best to fill our freezer for upcoming winter. One of the tasks for this Bronco build was to serve as a base camp for our fall hunts. This means outfitting withContinue reading “The Broncos on the hunt”

Testing, Testing, We’re on the road
Since wheat harvest has ended, I have not had any time to slow down. This year we were able to jump right into seeding, which has taken more time than the harvest. But with all the long hours, I still managed to knock out a lot of work on the Bronco and even got itContinue reading “Testing, Testing, We’re on the road”
On a roll and hitting the brakes
Its been a bit since I’ve posted, its that time of year for seeding on the farm and it seems to be longer days than harvest. However, I’ve managed to cross a few items off the Bronco’s list. With the Panhandle Overland Rally just a couple weeks away, I still have to finish a tonContinue reading “On a roll and hitting the brakes”
Thoughts from the cab #3.
Here we go. It was just made public that the Panhandle Overland Rally in Sandpoint Idaho is a go, I repeat, a go. The date is October 1-3rd. Of course, I bought my tickets right away since I believe they are capped at 500. The most exciting thing about this is that now I haveContinue reading “Thoughts from the cab #3.”
Last time hitting the pipe, I swear.
Finally, after way to long, the exhaust is done. From the headers to the tail pipe, done, for now. I finally broke down and ended up buying 90 and 45 degree pipes and just building my own tail pipe. While yes, I’m quite happy how it came out, its a bit too loud, according toContinue reading “Last time hitting the pipe, I swear.”
Thought from the cab #2
Every day, and I mean every day, since 2008, I listen to podcasts. They keep me going every day, they’re always there, very entertaining and sometimes I even learn something. As far as Overlanding podcasts go, I’ve only found a few consistent ones. They are The Overland Podcast, All Things Overland Podcast and Highpoint OverlandContinue reading “Thought from the cab #2”
Hitting the pipe……..with a hammer.
Tonight after work, I continued with the long drawn out exhaust fitment. Finally, I was able to get the Y pipe on, but more massaging is needed. I want this to be perfect, or as near as I can get it, but at this time, the clearances are just not as good as they needContinue reading “Hitting the pipe……..with a hammer.”
Let’s get Jiggy, kind of
Don’t worry, no dancing here, just dreams of overland projects. Now let’s discuss Bronco campers for a moment, or the lack there of. Years ago, Four Wheel Campers made slide in campers for Broncos, Blazers, Scouts etc. However, they are mostly long gone, or very and I mean very expensive. After giving up the dreamContinue reading “Let’s get Jiggy, kind of”
A mini fab project.
Worked on the exhaust header fitment issues on and off all weekend and finally getting some where. But during a brainstorming break, I lost some focus and turned my attention to the transmission cover and how the shift boots didn’t fit and the holes would need to be adjusted. So here’s a bit of whatContinue reading “A mini fab project.”
Thoughts from the cab #1
My day to day job on the farm has me sitting in trucks, tractors or in the shop. This time allows me to sneak in a little reading or most often enjoying podcasts. Podcasts can be a great inspiration. I really enjoy overland podcasts where overlanders are interviewed. With a family and a full timeContinue reading “Thoughts from the cab #1”
