    What's your Multi-Tool?

    I have an old gerber one I've had for at least 15 years. It does what I need and has never let me down.

    95 Bronco build

    Yeah, they are the perfect age. Old enough you don't mind beating them up or cutting up and modifying them. Yet new enough you don't feel like your abusing a classic.

    Full size overlanding pros vs cons.

    Sorry, not yet. Every time we've tried to make it out there again life has thrown us another curve ball. I'd bet as long as you stay away from the harder rock crawling type trails you should be ok.

    Nicely done. It looks like a fun project. Hope the shake down run goes good for you.

    Cast Iron or No? (weight right now is not an issue for me)

    Our popup camper is full of cast iron pans and dutch ovens. Our most used is actually a cast iron lid off a very old washing machine. We got it from my grandparents when they stopped camping. That thing is the perfect size for cooking on the fire. And after 50 years of campfire cooking it is...

    InTech RV Trailer Build

    Looks good. I bet you'll have a lot of fun with it. We go back and forth between using a tent and our popup camper depending on what and where we are going.

    Bugs and lighting?

    Red and green seem to be better for saving night vision in my experience. I have 2 lanterns on with clear glass and one with amber glass. I just got the amber one working. It was inherited from my grandparents. I haven't had a chance to use it out camping yet so now first hand experience...

    Do You Keep a Vehicle Journal?

    Exactly. It's also nice no know how long a set of tires lasted so you know if it's worth getting another set. Mine is all on paper. I keep a medium sized note book in every vehicle. That way it's always with it. I also keep the receipts in a file at home. Some days I think I'm a bit of a...

    Do You Keep a Vehicle Journal?

    I've always kept track of all maintenance on my vehicles. That way I know whats been replaced and when. If a wheel bearing goes out I know if I've replaced it and when. It's nice to know how long things last.

    Krazy Beaver Super Shovel

    Might have to look into these more. I've been breaking a lot of shovels around home last summer... Could make a good replacement to my bent small shovel.

    Wrenching on their own rigs?

    Thanks, I had to think a little to come up with a way to say it without coming across wrong.

    Flatlanders Go West

    Looks like a great trip. One of these days I'll make it back down to Moab with the family. Every time we ask our oldest daughter where she wants to go she just yells "to the mountains!" She very much enjoyed our last trip to the yellowstone area and many trips to the Black Hills in South...

    Full size overlanding pros vs cons.

    I've taken both my Bronco and the F-250 places a little too narrow but when one is covered in bedliner and the other is old and faded scratches don't really bother ya. When we take the f-250 camping we all 4 fit with a dog and all our gear including firewood and still have plenty of room in...

    1986 F150 one off complete custom build

    Sounds like a big project but if you have the interest I'd go for it. I tend to make what I have into what I want. I'm working on redoing my 84 Bronco again at the moment. It shouldn't be to hard to make it 4x4 a lot of the parts are interchangeable on these trucks for a lot of years. Have...

    So, why'd you buy the overland vehicle you did?

    We picked out the Bronco because I already had a short box regular cap F-150 with lockers and gears. I wrecked the F-150. So after some thinking we decided on a bronco so I could use the good parts of the truck to build the Bronco. The plan from the beginning was to use it as a hunting...

    Wrenching on their own rigs?

    As an ASE Certified Master technician for 15 years there isn't much I don't fix myself. Still have to take them in for alignments. a tape measure just isn't close enough. Although the last one I did came out perfect. A few years back I got a good offer to work in a local parts store so I...

    95 Bronco build

    Nice work. I still need to make some sliders and a rear bumper for mine.
