Carb... solid axles... leaf springs... stick shift... old and slow... ok; you're old school. You're in.

Overlanding will never be the same.

I'm liking that idea. I'll have to look for a box of stuffing. Thanks!

They only had turkey spam at the grocery store today. So I bought a can.

It starts with a concept. Here's mine. Old School Run. This summer. One option is the Pacific Crest Overland Route, Oregon Segment. Check out the link in post #6. I've never run this route, just read about it. We rally at Hood River, and head out from there. Hopefully the OR camping ban...

That would be cool. You're in under the "Too cool to not give it a shot" heading. My first car was a 63 Bug. When will it be overland ready? Got tow hooks front and rear?

Here are a few. I was in a parade when I was stationed at Ft Hood a few years ago, and my wife took these pictures. Rest assured this not a parade Jeep. It has a ton of trail pinstriping, has been wheeled hard, and I've had it on its side twice. I'm just good at cleaning it up afterwards. I...

Nobody says you can't. Sounds like you've got a potential project to do.

You're in. Perfect blend of old and new. My little 46 Willys has a 73 Pinto 2000cc engine in it. And Lock rights front and rear, Firebird seats, winch, bigger brakes, Saginaw manual steering, Rancho 2.5" lift, 31" tires, and a lot of other mods.

That's the thing though. I'm wanting to be more in tune with what's outdoors when I'm overlanding. Top off or down, or at least windows down. Moderate speeds on one lane dirt roads or trails. Think backpacking if you will with four wheels in an old school vehicle that isn't like everyone...

Ok, I'll redefine old a little bit. Any CJ series Jeeps (that goes to what... 1986?). Any "classic" Ford Bronco (don't know the last year). Any "classic" Toyota FJ 40 Landcruiser. Any International Scout. What am I missing while still keeping the flavor old? Soft top is a plus.

Gotta draw the line somewhere and still be considered "old". : ) I guess you could get an "old" truck and put your 88 running gear under it. I turn 60 this year. Does that mean I'm old?

Ok... up to early 70's.

I was thinking something like the OR or WA Overland Route. Either one of these would be reasonably local (for me anyways). Yeah, for me to do a CO trip I would have to tow it a couple days to get to the jumping off point. Something like this: Overland Routes | Pacific Crest: Oregon Segment -...

I used to have a sweet 1956 Willys truck with the Super Hurricaine 6-226. Had to sell it when I got divorced years ago. Always said my next Willys would be the old Willys wagon. I think my little flatty would do great. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is thinking the same thing...

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but there's plenty of clearance between the tank and the nuts & bolts.

I enjoy overlanding. I enjoy the camping and such. And I enjoy having a well set-up vehicle with PS, PB, heat and air, fuel injection, radio/CD player, etc. I've got a nicely set-up Jeep TJ that'll pretty much go anywhere, and a trailer to take what won't fit in the TJ. If I were taking my...

Ordered some brackets to put disc brakes on the front of my Willys CJ2A's Dana 25. https://brennans-garage.com/collections/frontpage/products/trackick-disc-brake-conversion-bracket I'd like to start using my Willys for some local (WA or OR) camping/overlanding trips.

I took a fire extinguisher bracket and cut it down to hold my 5lb propane cylinder. The bracket is larger than one used for a 10lb CO2 cylinder (shown side-by-side below). The strap's tension is adjustable. Here's a write-up...

Glad you enjoyed the swap meet. It was pretty big wasn't it. We'll see about the meet-up later this month.
