Working out at the “Y” pipe

It’s been a little crazy around here lately and the Bronco has had to sit idle since my last post. Between farm life kicking in to overdrive and having a kid about to graduate high school, my time has been spread. However, I did manage to devote a whole evening and finished the Y pipeContinue reading “Working out at the “Y” pipe”

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.

I really enjoy overland podcasts where overlanders are interviewed. With a family and a full timeContinue reading “Thoughts from the cab #1”

Under Hood Sorting

Before I can plan the camper top, offroad gear or even body colors, I need to finish the under hood sorting. Not just a tune up, but finishing all plumbing, wiring and accessories for the final time. This 79 Bronco, originally came with a garbage 400 Ford V8, and those engines sucked. Most sane ownersContinue reading “Under Hood Sorting”

Busy Busy Busy

Its been a much busier winter than expected. A lot has changed since last August, a career change along with a move to our new farmhouse in the country. Luckily, my family of 5 has managed to stay healthy throughout the winter and COVID 19 has not snuck its way to us. But back toContinue reading “Busy Busy Busy”
