Hello from Central Florida

[flatspaddler]

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am Tom, and I live in Plant City, Florida. I'm 52 yrs old and retired from the United States Air Force. I have a 1994 Full Size Bronco XLT 4X4 w/5.8L that has only 129K miles on it, and I LOVE it. I am just now in the planning phase for a customization so I can take my Bronco out west somewhere and go overlanding for 6 months or so. The first steps will be a high perf rebuild of motor and trans. But I also will be looking into suspension, lift, winch and everything else needed to survive for 6 months in extreme conditions. I am really interested in hearing about custom roof rack systems that will accomodate a roof top tent as this is the avenue I want to persue.

I am really looking forward to hearing and seeing new ideas and incorporating them into my future build.
