I have got to get off my butt and get to an Overland Expo to see the cool off roaders and how they've been made


Andy Lotz of Camp Verde, Arizona was building out a 1972 Bronco while his wife Rachel was pregnant and quickly realized that the car was not going to be big enough for camping as a family of three. So he tracked down a 1965 Ford F100 bed, narrowed it by eight inches to fit the form factor of the Bronco, and turned it into a custom sleeping camper. Today it has a flip side that comes up to reveal a custom pull-out kitchen and plenty of room for all three family members to sleep comfortably.


It's innovations like that, and the BBQ grill over the spare tire invention from South African company Front Runner, that I get a kick out of

  1. Please keep in mind, that grill is still brand new.....never used, not warped or fire charred, greasey from that bacon or burger you cooked which trail dirt and dust will stick to like a magnet...

    1. dang, I hadn't even considered that. But, most camper/overlanders are going to want to cook some food... and will need a small grill.
