1800 miles in a 31 year old Ford Lightning across the USA! What could go wrong

[@MrThisIsMeToo]

WOW!!!! I cannot believe I made it to one of your videos. I am one of your biggest fans. it was me in the KW you followed down that hill. Had I known it was you I would of pulled over and shook your hand. BTW, I only blew the horn as I thought it was a little boy sitting in the passenger seat yanking his arm.

Wow small World!

[@thomasgoolsby8661]

After spending nearly 30 years trucking the highways of our beautiful country I enjoyed every inch of your journey. Over the years I have been in the Iowa 80 truckstop many times. It is a treat to walk around the store and they have a great restaurant. Thanks guys. Great video.

Last year on 3 days notice I had get my old 93' F350 standard cab with 280k miles ready to drive from Virginia to Moab and back. My 2019 Cummins (under 50k miles at the time) had an emissions failure and wouldn't be fixed for weeks due to parts availability. So me and my 17 year old son threw our dirtbikes in the bed, changed the oil, checked the rest of the fluids and headed out. Lost the TPS on day 1. Found a replacement the next morning in Kansas and kept going. Made it all the way out without issue. Bought an enclosed trailer in Salt Lake area as we were just too crammed in the truck. Towed it back. Lost the new TPS first day heading back. Found a replacement the next day in Missourri. Made it home after that without incident. Nothing wrong with an old truck on a road trip. Just be ready to swap a part here and there. Total of 4600 miles in 17 days.

You guys took almost the exact same route that I did on a motorcycle back in May and June of 1977. I was on a Kawasaki 500 cc triple 2 stroker. (never again)... LOL Went from NY in April to the Pacific ocean down through the south, and back to NY in the north. A trip of a lifetime.. Thanks for the memories your trip brought back.

[@BlueDually4x4]

That was pretty nice of you to take Kevin along. I've been to all of those places but I have to say Yellowstone is the one place everyone needs to see in person.

[@lokinya]

Looks nice! And you don't even need a ladder to check under the hood or access the bed like modern trucks.

[@chichard86]

We call the bison: Tourist Aerial Launching Tools as some of the tourists want so much to pet one! People don’t realize the strength those animals have!

[@mikehunt3222]

That’s like here in Maine, people see a moose and want to get up close and pet it because it looks like some slow, dumb animal. They don’t realize that moose can run almost 35mph and they kill more people than bear do especially during rutting season. Idiots!!!

I scarcely remember this big lodge and not most of the cement out front. We were moving from North Carolana and running to Northern California to take care of B-36's in 1949. We were 49'ers. Take care. Dangerous place. You are right a lot taller - the sitting place would be showed from time to time. Park people dropped some big rocks, and it hasn't been the same.

[@milwaukeeroadjim9253]

I've been to most of the places you visited in this video. I drove from N Illinois to Durango to ride the steam train, then proceeded to drive to Yellowstone by way of Jackson. Just missed the old faithful show, stopped at shell falls and then drove to Buffalo to meeting up with friends to deer hunt. Then back to Illinois on 90 stopping at Wall Drug where I purchased an overpriced knife and then on to Cabela's in Mitchel, SD. This trip was in my 96 full size Bronco. Didn't think much of the presidents heads or bad lands but was very impressed on a different trip that included a visit to the south wall of the Grant Canyon.

Back around 1990 a friend and I who were both black powder shooter flew into LA and bought an old caprice. We did a three month road trip crossing America, attended a few shoots, including a rendezvous in WV., and the annual shoot at Friendship, Indiana. We had a great trip and Jackson’s Hole was on the to do list. We likely travelled the same roads. For Kevin, our caprice never missed a beat, the only issue was a flat tyre. Two Kiwi blokes met a lot of friendly people on our trip and saw some great country.

Usually these sorts of videos involve emergency repairs in the hailstorm. Guess I'd call this one a big win. Now you guys do realize that there is a pretty decent herd of bison just west of Ellettsville off of 46?

[@Mtlmshr]

In the early 80’s I hitchhiked from LA to southern Florida and then back a couple of years later! If you want to see the US and how big it is, I suggest you try that because it’s the freest I’ve ever felt in my life and I got to see parts of this country that many people just drive past!

Nice trip, nice truck.. Reference your cruise control issue. My 1998 explorer I went through at least 2 brake light stitches. It is a 2 part switch, one part brake light and the other side is cruise control and enable flat tow. I flat towed it better that 50k miles and if flat tow wouldn't enable I was in trouble so I carried a spare switch. It saved my butt on a 3 month Alaskan trip.

[@JoshMann-lj2zr]

My old room mate had a 93! I’ve been all over those early lightings. I am also a senior master tech from Ford. But I wanted to tell you these have issues with the wiring in the door jamb boots causing windows to act up if you can’t figure them out right away check in the boots. Switches go bad often as well.
