Hey gang - just thought I'd share something I ran across this morning on Insta/YouTube - Bronco Overland Adventure:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCumYgAbBM6tz8-vNOise0_A

I searched and didn't any mention of it here on CB. Is this anyone on CB? This family of four sold their house and is headed out on an overlanding trip in their restored '72 Bronco (restored = restomod - Coyote powered), pulling a Turtleback trailer behind them. How awesome is that? Should be fun to watch!

Great family! We are hoping to meet up with them somewhere in Moab during the Safari. Quite the trip they have planned! Those must be some well behaved kids ;D haha

Looks like they managed to expand the rear of the EB a bit for the kids. Can you imagine touring the country in a stock EB rear seat?! I know kids are resilient, but...

I wish my job and my wife would allow me to do this! I'll have to live my adventures through their channel for a few more years for now.

Kudos to this family for taking a chance and living life to the fullest. I will indeed be following their journeys. And can you believe it, not in a heep!;D

Cool story, but I wonder if this is just for a year or what? I don't imagine those kids are going to be happy living like that for long?

I saw them coming into Flagstaff last Sunday morning when I was headed north to Moab. Then I saw them in Moab the next morning - they put on the miles! Was supposed to meet them but our paths didn't cross.

They did move the rear seat back so the kids had more room and I heard they had some kind of desk contraptions for the kids to do home-schooling with their ipads.

The chassis on the truck is an aftermarket one - I thought maybe it's a Kincer but it's not. Coyote under the hood.

I hope they do a vehicle walk around at some point. I'm curious about the outside mirrors and roof rack. Anyone recognize either?

I think the Bronco Nation guys filmed a walk-around of it - I'll let you know if I see anything posted.

Very cool they are doing this. What a great experience for all of them.

Just wondering how a young family can afford to do this and for how long? Are they living off the sale of the house? Are they independently wealthy with family money? Can they make enough money through donations to their web site and YouTube videos? This making money off the internet by "influencers" is baffling to me.

I'm always curious about the income stream of these types of folks as well, Scoop!

it's all a little weird to me as well, but it for sure happens
