Welcome to The Lonely Overlander!
Based out of Ontario, one of the largest, most populated provinces in Canada, we're about 4 times the size of Colorado and made up of 87% Crown Land. With over 250,000 lakes, it's also home to 1/5 of the world's fresh water.
Follow along as I embark on the endless journey in search of the most remote, peaceful overland camps imaginable.

oof, that eyeroll...
Not even sure how I got it! But it's all good now 👍🏻
Will be paying attention! Never heard of STAR before
@@chairmanmao3885 I think one of our group basically coined the name when he posted pics about it when we finished 😁 Works for me! Let's make it famous!
Exactly the scenery I think of when someone says overlanding in Canada
This teaser is epic, I can't wait for the main event!!!
Thanks Jake... I'll have my work cut out for me! Huge project 🤘🏻
@@TLOverlander No doubt. I don’t know much about video editing, but I know enough to know it’ll be a huge task!
Wasn't even sure how I was going to present the teaser... Until I put the sound track to it 👍🏻
Looks like an adventure 👍
Love it eric, cant wait for the main event. The eye looks nasty 😮
Dunno how I got it... And didn't even know there was an eye issues until someone mentioned it 🤷lol
Great preview!
Thank you for the video. Was able to replace my own filter and save some $
Do you have any problems with the volume controls on the steering wheel not working? I have that problem and ive read about it a little bit. But I just wanted to hear from you.
All the audio controls work fine on mine.... Hmmm
The night sky looked spectacular. Glad it all worked out.
Veyr informmative video! Just got bronco and this was super helpful
Great video! Glad to see you back at it
Glad Lexi is ok Eric. Might need a spring lead to help out in the event she does this again. Lost one of our cavaliers on a trail walk in Algonquin and had that same feeling. A stranger down trail collected her for us as well.
Thanks for the comment, Dino. I have a cable lead with a spring damper.... But it's so long and unwieldy. I'm going to bring it on this trip. Maybe in the future have it shortened and swagged shorter 🤷
Thanks! I keep hearing that one... I must get a pic/vid of it!
Outstanding video Eric. I’m so happy you got Lexi back safe and sound and the fox made it out ok too! I’ve been wondering what that bird is!
If I buy a 2 door Bronco I don't want back seats, that's why I bought a 2 door and not a 4 door. The fact there is so much work involved in removing those backseats is ridiculous. I assumed they just had some kind of quick release to remove them and all that was left was removing the hardware that held the seats.
I think Jeep makes it a lot easier to remove theirs... Ford definitely missed the boat on that one. Did you see my new vid, the 2.0 load floor? 👍🏻
Glad you got the mudflaps on (after the hardware incident). I see you had all the same install issues I had but seemed to handle them in a much calmer and family friendly manner than myself. I was getting a bit worked up as you continued the install w/o de-bedazzling the flaps! Thank goodness you finally removed all that trucker bling! Maybe I should drink less caffeine prior to watching you work. I will concur that the instructions were terrible (they need to at least print originals rather than copying the copy of a bad copy over and over). I do appreciate the design and am happy with my Broaddict mudflaps and can recommend them so long as folks watch your install prior to attempting their own (which I did not). As usual, great video! I am looking forward to your next update.
Thanks, mang! I've actually made some changes to mine! Lol It involves a pair of Ford branded rear floor mats from my Fiesta! I'll put a pic up in the community feed
Looking forward to the next video. I have a Heritage Edition on order, can’t wait!
Awesome!
Man, that heritage edition is looking good! Glad you got the build up and running.
THANK YOU!! Just added some limb lifters and some cowl lights going on tomorrow...(oh, and made some mods to the mudflaps 😉) She's getting there! Love it more every day ❤️
Eric, we could have made these out of plywood lol, these look great.
Haha! YES!! Painted in bed liner 🤘🏻
I need a set of mud flaps too. The doors constantly have a stripe of mud/water spots and now tar from them re-sealing some cracks in my road. Didn't have this problem on my 4dr. Glad they aren't soo expensive anymore. Hope Lexi is doing well!
Pretty complex mudflaps but they look pretty good installed. Never been a fan of mudflaps and in over forty years of driving only my very first car and now the very last car I’ll probably buy (1970 Volvo) had mudflaps 😂Volvo has it’s original flaps so they’ll stay. But I do get the functionality with luggy tires Great video again Enjoy the heat 😅
When you're logging, is it necessary to floor it? I'm new to tuning. Thanks, good video. Should have more likes.
If you were running a custom tune, yeah, full throttle pulls will give you the best data to analyze as far as fuel ratio and trims. Thanks for the comment!
@TLOverlander Yeah, man. I just installed a flex fuel kit. I just got the tune back to enable the sensor. My tuner wanted me to log again. I noticed that the car had a lot more power, so I was hesitant to WOT since the car seemed to be more powerful. I didn't want to break anything, 😆 I did 2 logs with normal acceleration with a couple of hard pulls, but nothing to the redline. I understand what you're doing here, and I appreciate your video content.
Where is the wire for the rear fog light?? And what color is that wire??
That's something you'll need to research. Pretty sure it's blue and white (I still haven't done mine)... All the info you need is over at B6G www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/installing-rear-fog-chase-light-using-factory-switch-harness.46382/page-12
Thanks so much for this video, you made it really easy to follow along. Any tips for removing those barbed pins? That was the hardest part IMO
Thanks for the comment... Did you watch the new floor vid? The 2.0 load floor?? 👍🏻 Barbed pins... I think I'll just cut them and toss 'em from now on. Lol
Not my dumbass hearing "foreskin" until I realize that ForScan makes a hell of a lot more sense.
Do you have an updated Google doc for the Bronco? The one in the link is no longer working.
Sorry for the delay. Try this one... I'll update the link the the description docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1xH-0LLJrGcrYUCC7XCeF_Y_stXJtyMHieJZousnFGfI/htmlview
@@TLOverlander Thank You! New Bronco owner and your videos have been very informative. My wife and I just bought a 2024 Bronco black diamond with the Sasquatch package! Absolutely love it!
@@tomahawkjo8574 glad I could help. Nice ride! 👍🏻
Which bridge did you use to enter into Quebec? I've been trying to figure out where you started and the direction you went without any luck.
I crossed at Pembroke and went clockwise on the loop. 👍🏻
Looks great! Can I ask which bedliner you used? I'd heard some people regret going this route vs carpet as it can smell unpleasant, but I imagine some are better than others and I think bedliner will be more practical for my needs.
Thanks! I went with Duplicolor for my floor. There is definitely a period of off-gassing, just give it lots of time outdoors to cure. I put it out in direct sunlight after the first day. There is still a bit of smell but not crazy. It should get better over time.
More more more! Have they fixed the auto off? I herd there was a bug/ glitch.
I believe they trick the bronco into thinking the electric power steering is being used or something to prevent it from turning off the engine...?
Incredible build! Obviously Dino must be Scottish as "If it's not Scottish it's..." I am going to work a build that keeps my seats installed and is removable. This still gets my brain spinning though and I am confident I can steal some ideas from y'all. Thanks for another great video! (BTW - the Broaddict mudflaps are installed. I am not 100% enthused at this point but they were generous enough to provide me ALL the hardware! I'll blame Canadian customs for your troubles as those guys are ruthless!)
I told Broadict that I needed 20 of the black bolts and nuts... They sent me 20 SETS!! I have 400 nuts/bolts/washers now! Let me know if you need some spares. Lol
Awesome job Eric and Dino.
Boy it looks great with the bed lining Eric. I had a blast building the floor with you and can't wait for our next project. Drive safe my friend and give Lexi a treat for me.
Thank you, sir... The best project yet!
@@TLOverlander Where would the world be without guys like Dino? Good job Dino. I do like that design better than the last one, think I'll copy that. Now! just gotta find a Dino. Great video, take care gentlemen.
@@klugger01 thanks for the comment. Dino is one of the nicest guys there is. No lie... Hoping to test out the new setup next weekend! Watch for the 1st travel episode coming soon! 🤘🏻
Lijkt wel een lijkenkist😅
Pretty close!
Good morning, please could you explain to me where you got the written data in the excel sheet? Thamk you.
Is there not a link in the description?
@@TLOverlander I watch the video again but I don't think so.
@@cosimogambardella5734yeah, it's not in the video. It's a link in the description. Have a look here... docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xH-0LLJrGcrYUCC7XCeF_Y_stXJtyMHieJZousnFGfI/edit?usp=sharing
That’s amazing. Even people in Canada are rooting for Trump. Lol
Can that gunner hatch fit in the trunk without having to fold down the back seats ?
Yeah, it'll fit standing up
Wicked winch Eric, you and Lee did a great job, see you soon my friend
Thanks Dino.... Looking forward to the weekend!! 🤘🏻
I installed the winch mount kit on mine 21 2 years ago. It works well, your right about the rotational downward force when stuck real bad, I haven't torn it off yet. I was to wondering about the frame brackets too. The front end will sag out about an inch after about a year so had to install a leveling kit to bring it back up. All said I'm very happy with it.
I've been considering a leveling lift as well. Thanks for the info!
Enjoyed the video as usual. Had some trouble with the audio due to an inexplicable age related increase in ear wax production! Someone should do a video about that! Now I have to go try and figure out how to install these dadburn Broaddict mud flaps :) (de-bedazzled of course! I'll try to cuss in Canadian during the install to show my cultural acumen)
beautiful! Hahaha... STILL trying to work out the missing hardware with them. Is your kit complete?
@@TLOverlander I did the Ozark Overlanding Adventure trail the week before last (purposely left the mud flaps off to avoid damage - trip was GREAT btw) and got home to seemingly be a month behind at work so I will let you know after this weekend as I finally get around to attempting the install.
Mt Forest! High, Healthy, Happy. My old neck of the woods.
I am not sure why RC states many of their winches cannot be installed on the capable bumpers. I installed their hidden winch on a capable bumper a few weeks ago without any issues. Seems like they would have a broader market if they adapted their marketing to match what vehicle/bumper the winch actually fits.
Right?! Did you have to make some mods for the hidden winch to work?
@@TLOverlander No mods were needed in addition to the directions.
Ford bulletin says to park with front of vehicle lower than back.
Is that for real? Lol Had Ford on B6G reach out to me... Told me to contact Ford Canada. 🤞🏻👍🏻🤷🏻
All vehicles do that
All doors have water drain holes, yes.... But this is parked in the rain! Water isn't getting in there from a power washer or driving 120km/h in the pouring rain. AND, the drain holes are sealed shut with the door closed 🤷
@@TLOverlander lol water molecules are small and vehicles doors are not water proof actually knowing is water proof
It's a Ford problem they all do it
Weird... My 19 year old Fiesta doesn't do this 🤷
Looks like they're draining
Correct... But water getting in when parked?? I could understand if you're washing your car with a pressure washer or doing 70mph in the pouring rain... Parked.
You could have just googled it instead of looking stupid on the internet
I guess you don't understand... That's okay. #1- drain holes are blocked when the doors are closed... #2- water getting in with the truck parked. NOT by careless use with a power washer.... Not by driving 120km/h in the pouring rain... Parked. And you think that's normal?? 🤷
@@TLOverlander They are not blocked, they are below the door seal, you can also google that. Doors don't seal out 100% of rain water around the windows, which is why they have drain holes. Did you call Ford and get laughed at yet? Keep us updated.
@@chopchopchop5585 yeah, Ford contacted me when I posted about it. They want me to reach out to Ford Canada about it, so... Yeah, not normal. If the drqins were below the door seal, then the water wouldn't flood out when I opened the doors, would they? 😂😂🤔
Rusting away from the inside out.
Doors are aluminum
