I too was disappointed that this thread is still on Hiatus. But then again it is 2020 and man this year has just sucked so I will continue to anxiously await the return of this project.
I don't think the motor is a bad thing. Those engines got a bad rap, if you know what you are doing and you know its limitations the motor is no worse then any other. I have owned several of that generation of truck and never had the motor be any problem.
I am also pretty late to the party, but I wouldn't be a true dad if I didn't congratulate you and your wife on your beautiful daughter. I have three boys and my littlest is a girl. The boys don't get away with much but dang that little girl of mine has me wrapped around her little finger, and...
Hello all,
I have been on this site for years searching out the meaning of life. I have found it within the pages of the website and although I am converted to see the light and want to quit my job and sell all my possessions and live out of our camper for the rest of my life; my wife and four...
I have loved this thread. So much thought has gone into this build. Like so many others on this board I am always amazed at the ingenuity of the board members. This build and design is not one that we could currently use (we have 4 children requiring lot of space on the road or else Dad would...
This is not mine. (I wish it were) I know that there is alot of people who want one of these. As the ad says this one could use some work but hey this gives someone a chance to build exactly what they want. I can go inspect it if someone is interested enough (it is about 2 hours away from me)...
Wow my list of 14 measly countries seem so very small compared to many of you. I personally have visited 14 countries visited them for at least 3 weeks. Most of them I have lived in for 3 to 4 years.
Although because I signed up on this board as a family and this is an adventure that we...
Lance,
I am glad you found a point man for Operations here in the U.S. I am not at the point in my recovery to take on such a project and I was really concerned about the organization taking a huge hit.
When I do get to the point of being able to help out more I would love to know how; so...
Thanks,
For all the input. Just got back from a Scouting weekend with the two older boys. We took the 93 with us. the thing is in really good condition we went about 250 miles round trip and spent the night at some hot springs. :wings:
The hot springs were nice the 38 degrees outside not so...
Larry,
That is a nice, and I mean NICE truck. well done on the upgrades I think you will like them a lot. When the kids grow up and move out :Wow1:(not any time soon) I would like something as nice as this (currently because I do have kids I am not allowed anything nice :sombrero:).
Seriously...
Hello all,
I know most of you will see this as pointless rambling but I do have a method to my madness. I won't bore you with past history of our expedition trial and error lessons. Suffice it to say we have been camping since before we got married, spent our honeymoon camping in Montana out of...
I cannot even think of how many I have owned... but if it makes you feel better I have 12 registered trucks on my property right now that I am paying insurance on so I think I fit the A.D.D. mindset, now if I could have the heart to get rid of a few of them maybe I could afford to do some...
I had a girlfriend when I was growing up. (don't be so shocked) her dad had a 1979 ford bronco with the 400 in it.:drool:. He was a great guy he used to let me take it out on dates with his daughter, we took that thing many places two young people should not be alone :sombrero:.
Man just...
Quit talking and start building.:wings: I say go for it. it would match, look awesome give me something to look forward to watching while you build it and give me a place to drool whenever I need to. :drool:
Seriously I am all about the original factor I would love to see something like this...
I have driven one of these (although it was up armored and weighed close to 100,000 pounds.) Everyday for a year during my deployment.
Powerful? heck yea!
Gas mileage suck? heck yea!
We got between 1 and 3 miles to the gallon and it didn't matter if we were recovering a truck or not. The cabin...
