Coming Back from @PNW EXPLR place in Kennewick I got exactly half way home when the power steering pump failed. Mike and I had just been talking about the sketchy looking pulley as I was pulling out of his drive. I told him I was already planning on a power steering pump upgrade to power the...

Getting close (Winch plate install) So my last Overlanding build I had my brother build me a very heavy duty winch bumper to mount my Mile-Marker H18000 2-Speed hydraulic winch. I decided I wanted this winch in my current project, so I enlisted the help of @PNW EXPLR to fab up a winch tray. I...

Almost caught up (sorry no pictures yet) So with the roof rack and lights mounted, I decided I wanted an overhead console to house my radio, CB, and rearrange my dash board a bit getting ready for a Ham Radio. I took down the headliner and prototyped a overhead shelf with a coms console in the...

So 4 months in and no breakdowns: Time for upgrades! December Sucks for me... I’m a December Baby, so I either get a Christmas, or a birthday, but seldom both... last year though I got one of those rare both in the same year. My wife @KRose bought me a set of KC Apollo Lights for my birthday...

When I get the Bronco back home I notice it’s overheating a bit and leaking coolant from the upper radiator hose. I pull the hose and the radiator nipple came off inside the hose. So I buy a new radiator and new radiator hoses. I also buy 2 of the 4 bypass hoses and a new thermostat. Replaced...

So now I have a driver. After several months as my DD and no more breakdowns I take a trip with my kids and their SOs to the lake towing my boat for a weekend of fishing. This is the first big camping trip using the Bronco, so it was kind of my test run to see what I need to do to make it work...

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly ....Continued From Post 1... I was told by the PO that the noise in the back end was caused by the U-Joints. So I pulled the driveline apart to service the cv joint, but didn’t find a problem there. So next I tore into the breaks expecting all to be worn out, but...

Thanks, the pictures aren’t missing. The story is about the Bronco and how it came into the family. The pictures start in my next chapter.

Looks like I have to push out the trip until next summer/early fall...Adventure Machine is out of commission... but I can put up a rally point if people are interested for this year.

You do know that Toyota is now made in the US right?

I don’t... I bought it off the shelf at the local Walmart... I will check tomorrow during my grocery run

@KRose And I want to base camp in the area. We would love to have any one that wants to join Us.

Wish the adventure machine wasn’t so dead... I want to check out Snoqualmie pass very badly... I was sad when I had to just cruise in through back in February. sent you a text Greg, we might be very interested in this trip.

The Beginning is the End is the Beginning (The continuing journey of the “Adventure Machine”) It’s funny how things come full circle in so many ways. In 1993 I was 13 years old dreaming of my first daily driver. I had a 1963 Ford F-150 that I was restoring that summer. One night when I got...

Yup the Full Size Bronco is out to pasture for a bit... my dad and I are both under the impression the motor just got plain tired... 260k miles and who knows how many of those miles have been with cracked head... I had been babying it along for a year since I got it... but it’s for the best... I...

I would really like to make this one... but “The Adventure Machine” is in for an “Adventure” of its life... she left me stranded 2 weeks ago, and what seamed a simple fix has turned into a major surgery for her... she may be back on the road in 2021, but more than likely not in 2020.

Yes they are... that’s what the base is on the one pictured... it was very comfortable... I almost miss it... I say alimony because I really like my Bronco which is too small to build out like my Ram was.
