79Bronco – Almost Overlanding with Craig Cooper and Family

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.”

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”

Outside, finally

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”

2 Steps forward, one step back

Had a great Easter weekend with the family at my folks place in the mountains of northern Idaho. Looked over dads 1961 International Scout project while I was there. I’m excited for him to get it back on the road, its been parked for over 25 years. Then, once the Bronco is bucking again, weContinue reading “2 Steps forward, one step back”
