Hello,
I am new to the idea of overlanding. I am in the process of rebuilding a 1990 OBS Ford Bronco. I would like to turn it into a somewhat overland vehicle that I can also drive on the daily. Looking for any ideas of anyone who may have something similar to what I am wanting to do. Nothing crazy not looking for a month out on the trail, but a fun weekend excursion with my family.
