Bronco Book Club!

[DC9atnight]

We all have a long wait for our Broncos and after reading eight (very enjoyable) pages on the Bronco bottle opener, I realized we need more reading material if we are ever going to make it to delivery day. I am currently reading Four-by-Four Driving by Tom Sheppard. It’s British but so far it’s a great book that really helps explain 4x4 systems and best practices. It’s seven years old but I don’t think the core principles have changed much.

On my Christmas wish list (along with Bronco swag) will be the book Boss: The Bill Stroppe Story by Tom Madigan.

Please add your recommended books about off-roading, Bronco or Ford history, amazing places to take our Broncos or any other topic.

I expect it will keep going up in price due to them not printing enough for the fanaticism this year!

A buddy of mine has old issues of Bronco Driver. I wonder if there is a digital way to access these?

Tom Sheppard's book "Quiet For a Tuesday" is a good read as well. Overlanding the Algerian desert in a G Wagon.

Other overlanding books worth a read:
We Will Be Free: Overlanding Africa and Around South America - Graeme Bell
Overlanding the Americas - Graeme Bell
Long Way Round - Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman (worth reading even if you've seen the show)
First Overland: London-Singapore by Land Rover - Tim Slessor

Not off-road related but a good read. Goes into why autonomous driving is bad

This is a perfect submission to the Bronco Book Club. I think we will all be disabling our assisted driving features after reading this book! Thanks for the recommendation.

I recommend On The Road by Jack Kerouac.

There's a lot more too it the. Just that, it talks about how driving is freedom and why people love it so much. But that's a big part of it.

I don't like driving nannies for that reason, and prefer 3 pedal driving. I enjoy the purity of doing it on my own.

Wow. So many great overlanding books. This looks great.

I think in the back of all of our minds is the notion that our Broncos will serve us well in a post apocalyptic world!
