Time to relax with a different Ford

My shop life has been centered around the 79 Bronco project for some time. This as put me behind on some other projects, such as getting this little Ford GPW running for a friend. Not sure how long its been sitting, but I’m pretty sure its been off the road longer than I’ve been alive.Continue reading “Time to relax with a different Ford”

The Broncos on the hunt

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

Once I’m done with my normal farm duties, I then harvest wheat with my life long best friend on his farm. As of now, weContinue reading “Time for some catch up”

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.”

Tryin’ to give this thing the boots

Tonight finds me in the shop enjoying the do it yourself bed liner in the Bronco. Is it perfect, no, is it better than it was, yes, much better. This finish will be great until I get the floor mat in someday. But now, I can get the shift boots, seat belts, seat brackets andContinue reading “Tryin’ to give this thing the boots”
