    1984 Ford Bronco Project

    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...

    Lockers

    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.

    Black Hills Weekend Meet

    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.

    Badlands South Dakota

    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

    Snowshoeing

    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.

    Lifestyle Overland's Chase the Wind Adventure

    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.

    Unibody vs Body-on-Frame for Overlanding

    I tend to look at vehicles as tools. I need them to do a task. If you figure out what you need it to do ( as in how many people, how much gear, how long, and where and how you will be driving it). Your options on vehicles while get narrowed down. Then look at reliability and what is...

    Water-proofing

    Silicone and dielectric grease will help a lot. On mine I relocated my alternator up higher on the engine. It used to be on the bottom. When going through water or snow it would get full of water and act up for awhile. I also made a splash shield out of a rubber mud flap that they use for...
