    2025 MOORE Expo and Midwest Discovery Route (Kansas City)

    https://mooreexpo.com/ We stayed at SMORR Due to rather limited cargo room in the Bronco and rather limited seating in the Ranger... we did the right thing and just drove both. We struck off Thursday after work with the plan to hit Lee's Summit (east of Kansas City) for the night. That...

    Carb at high elevation

    Talking about going out west next year... and a second kid on the way kinda dashed my hopes for a Holley Sniper before then. Any tips/pointers on keeping a carb happy at high elevation? Like up to 12k feet. 500cfm Edelbrock 1403 4bbl on a Ford 302 with an in-tank electric fuel pump. I have...

    Bronco Mothership

    Not really much of a overland build but my wife did just receive her new 2022 Bronco. We do longerish distance road trips to offroad parks and wheel with friends. Due to our location in the midwest there isn't much in the way of traditional "overlanding". Also we live in the country so it is...

    The Little Green Truck's Big Adventure

    A little over year ago another forum I frequent announced they were going to celebrate their 20th anniversary in Eastern Ohio. I had some big plans in store for my truck but the wheels got to turning how cool it would be to take it out there. I live in western Iowa so it is a pretty good haul...

    Long Distance '85 Ranger Build

    I have had the truck for almost 19 years, she may not look like much but I have made many special modifications myself. I have been tweaking it somewhat for a long distance drive to a Ranger/Bronco II/Explorer gathering at a offroad park in Ohio next week. So there will be long distance...
