Like others have said. Start doing your own maintenance and helping others that may know more than you. Youtube can be helpful. Just be careful of the source not everyone is an expert no matter what the tell you! Figure out what can make your vehicle not start and then learn how to DIAGNOSE...

I've done it with lasagna and other pasta as well works pretty good as long as you have a way to keep it cool. Also dried fruits work well in small vacuum sealed bags. We've done about any kind of leftover food and put in it the cooler frozen and just warm it in water when time to eat. It...

A starting batter usually has higher cranking amps that in can apply quickly so it will run a winch better. And it usually is the one with a direct and heavier gauge charge wire run to it.

I used to be a mechanic so I tend to take on automotive repair side jobs when I need extra cash. Or some random build this or that for someone. I have collected a decent amount of tools over the years and a little skill with them. And thanks to that we have always managed to come out all right.

Most epoxy's and patch kids need the repair site to be clean and dry. Carry a candle or bar of soap. you can scrape it across the leak and usually plug it. Temporarily at least. Which will buy you enough time for an epoxy repair. Usually the faster an epoxy dries the weaker it is. I've...

Time for the drivers side and the attempt to do it in one piece. Plenty of room now. Cut lines marked on the inner fender. Inner tacked in place and starting to remove the rest of the damaged area. Area to be patched all cut out and prepped. I tapped some paper sheets together to make a...

Since it was all apart and I needed to do some repairs on the inner wheel wells I figured I'd make a little more room for tires or suspension travel. So I marked some cut lines. Started cutting out the inner portion. After checking with the rear seat I figured I can go to that body seem...

Some of the rust that we decided not to fix on the old one. After some inspection of the b pillars I decided that the amount of time it would take to replace 2 rear quarter panels, both rockers, and hand make the b pillars on both sides behind the door. And a lot of the floor...

I'd been looking around at good condition bronco's since last winter. A friend of mine found this one sitting around no longer running. The price was right and after sitting in my driveway waiting for me to decide what I wanted to do with it for a while. The work is beginning. We are going...

We started both our kids (6 years, 18 months) camping as soon as the weather warmed up. Both where born in February so by about 3 or 4 months old they have been camping and enjoying the outdoors. We have traveled a fair bit with them since then as well. Our oldest did her first 10+ hour road...

We just use old ones from the house in those plastic plano fishing boxes with the removable dividers work good to organize them.

So far we just use a garmin 64st and paper maps. we can load routes and waypoints on the gps from our computer before we leave.

Winter was hard on the bronco. Poor thing has rust in all the wrong places. The B pillars are rusting out along with most of the rear quarter. So we figured it might be time to pick up one with less rust and start again. At least I have all good mechanical to put in one with a better body...

A good limited slip with run at least a third of the price of most selectable lockers. Save the money and install time for when you can get the one that you want. If you drive on snow and ice in the winter selectable is very handy.

I'd love to go. Just now sure if I'll have a vehicle ready by then. I'm beginning the process of combining 2 bronco's into one. I probably won't have it done and meeting the wife's approval by then.

We once took gravel roads and some 2 lane highway from the park main road and worked our way westish. Eventually we came out by the highway at Hermosa. We have a good map but it was mostly just wander and see. I believe it was something like this https://goo.gl/maps/ntKLhQ4mm5J2

Usually we use home made fire starters. The good old wood chips from the chainsaw in a paper egg carton and pour melted wax over it. works pretty good. I've even started fires on ice and snow with them. Used steel wool and jumper cables once too. I always try to have more the one option...

If I manage to get some other projects done and have money left. I've been looking a some cooper discoverer stt pro in 35"

We go around home and have gone out to the Black Hills, SD to do some snow showing and snowmobiling. But the last year or 2 we haven't received as much snow so we haven't had the chance to go locally.

Sounds like the start of a great adventure. My daughter and I have on occasion just picked a direction and I've let her pick which way at intersections or stops. Usually only for a day or 2 though. Enjoy every minute of the trip.
