    Overland Bronco 27114

    Well, email received tonight - she is being built next week, a week earlier than expected! So, now I consider my top options. It is coming with a soft top, there are some aftermarket hard tops in development, and of course the #ursaminor B30. But I haven’t gotten any information on the B30...

    Top 5 overland accessories for a DIY trailer.

    Good morning! Water - some sort of holding tank. I have seen store bought and homemade PVC tanks. Pressurized. Power - a battery box system, solar. Cooking - some sort of cooking area, propane. For the first two, I think about my step dad, he’s 76 now. Bought a 2021 GMC elevation, Duramax...

    Easy-setup tent and cot recommendations please?

    I have a Gazelle T4 tent, super easy to set up and take down. The only problem I have is fitting it in the Jeep. Looking back, I would have gotten the T3. It would fit perfectly insure front to back with the seat down.

    “Read More” button?

    I know previously the forums on the app, you were able to scroll and read someone’s post. I don’t know if it was an update, or a setting (I can’t find), but now when I see a post longer than a few lines it say’s “read more” so I click this, and can read it, then have to back out with the back...

    Ford Maverick and the small overlanding pickup truck

    Lol, 1975 man! I used to have a couple old Mavericks. I have one on order too, it’s actually for my daughter, she’s going to college and the 40mpg as well as a bed to pick up bales of hay in, win win! @Michael just posted a video, I love it. It doesn’t matter that you drive, just get out and...

    Overland Bronco 27114

    Time for an update! I know it’s been nearly 2 months since I last posted. After I left ME and came back to FL, I flew out to AZ the next day. Yeah, I know we are Overland Bound, but my dad was sick, so the flight was the fastest! Maine was awesome, looking to drive there next summer in the...

    Overland Bronco 27114

    Hey man, sorry for the delayed response. I’ve been handling some things - you should see dealer demo models already at dealerships, my local dealer has one on 37’s. I did get a build date (week) for mine today of October 11th.

    Ford Maverick and the small overlanding pickup truck

    I remember the Bronco 2, that’s why I think they should have brought it back! I too have a Maverick on order, I am getting it for my daughter, I am hoping my Bronco will be here “someday”. But with the Maverick, this is perfect to go grab some bales of hay for the miniature horses she shows...

    Overland Bronco 27114

    Up here at camp in Shapleigh, ME, on Square Pond. (I flew). But I’m enjoying my in-laws camp up here on the lake. I took some time to hit up the Kittery Trading Post, they have some RTT options and a lot of camping stuff. I will be making this trip next summer in the Bronco, so it’s nice to...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Well, it was yesterday and the day before…. But we yanked the 3.6 Pentastar at 216,000+ miles. Oil cooler went caput again, overheated again. So we pulled the engine, taking the heads to be hot tanked and decked, replacing timing chains (been running a P0016 code for a while now, culprit is a...

    Show me a Road Sign.....really any sign...

    If you ever pass through Amarillo, TX, it is fun to drive through town looking for Oddball Street Signs. You can hit up old Route 66, head off to the Palo Duro Canyon. But there are signs out of place everywhere, just a fun oddity to find!

    I actually like Citrus better! It’s not too far from Croom, there are also some caves to venture in there if you like to hike!

    Looking for a great time overlanding.

    Welcome and congratulations! While I too love cheap mods, I’d look to put together and inexpensive recovery gear set: tow strap, a couple shackles, gloves, tire puncture repair kit. Enjoy your Bronco!

    Ford Maverick and the small overlanding pickup truck

    My thought was whomever is in charge of naming messed up. Bronco Sport should have just been Bronco 2. The Mach-E Mustang should have come back as a Mav-E-Rick, or even the Mustang MavErick. And the pick up should have been called the Ranchero.

    General Observations about the influx of people to the outdoor world

    It starts with you. I know that’s a sad thing to say, because it starts with me too. I have a younger sister in law, she’s a moron to put it lightly. My wife and I are actually old enough to be her parents, but she took her husbands lifted F150 on yee yee tires “mudding” - keep in mind, this...

    Overland Bronco 27114

    Some gear updates as I sit this holiday weekend. I’ve used the Ecoflow River 600 Max on several occasions lately to power the fridge, a potable fan, charge phones, run lights. Longest consecutive go has been 72 hours without any recharging. I do want to get a solar panel, but I went 72 hours...

    Geographical center of the state here! Good ole Brooksville, FL. Centered between the Citrus Wildlife Management Area, The Withlacoochee Croom Rital Tract, and Richloam aka Green Swamp! If you’re ever heading from Croom to Citrus or the other way around, I’m usually the guy on the mower! Lol

    Overland Bronco 27114

    Figured I’d post an update on the Alpicool CF45 Fridge I got from Amazon. This past weekend we had a horse show in Ocala, FL for my daughter, so I pre-cooled the fridge, and my wife/daughter took it with them Friday night. I arrived Saturday, and it held pretty steady at 34 (what I set it at)...

    Overland Bronco 27114

    I took my weekend Hwy excursion to Odon, IN (Amish Country) to get a Horse Cart, then into Kane, IL to get a couple horses a couple weeks ago. Out nights were spent in a hotel, as this was a hot shot to pick up those things in my wife’s truck and the horse trailer attached. But the fridge...
