    Post Pic's of your Jeep

    Started overlanding with a 2020 JL, absolutely love it. Unfortunately a year later I was diagnosed with cancer and life took a really sucky turn. Although we couldn't do any serious trips I decided to build a trailer for the RTT. I'm really slow ate everything I do but its been about a year...

    The Status of Overlanding Today

    I think this is right. Homeless people who look to vehicles as affordable or alternative housing tend to stay close to city centers. Some are certainly venturing out more but in the wilderness it's way more difficult to get food or money. Most are parking in, or on the outskirts, of...

    The Status of Overlanding Today

    I went to a family reunion where my father and brother in-laws, both with their PhD's, proceeded to tell everyone how much smarter this generation is compared to their grandfathers. They used current day cars as an example. There weren't repair stations and dealerships in every town like there...

    The Status of Overlanding Today

    People online also feel the need to complain which just might be part of the process of making others fit their definitions. I agree, there's way too much of that today. I'm not sure I'm disagreeing but I don't like to define overlanding based on the vehicle. My wife horse camps. They either...

    The Status of Overlanding Today

    Thanks for the reply. I try not to define Overlanding based on the hardware. Isn't a Earthroamer just an off road capable motorhome? When I started "Overlanding" I had not even heard that phrase before. I'm a photographer, I started with a Jeep so that I could get to locations not inundated...

    Borderland trailer SOLD

    I'm a little confused. I don't understand why so many people are willing to pay $30K+ for a Pioneer or a Turtleback and not less than half for yours? That appears to be a good deal. Have you listed it elsewhere? Good luck

    The Status of Overlanding Today

    Most of the sites that highlight the gear do so because it's easy to quantify, there's a potential to make money and equipment is easy to talk about. Most of the posts are people complaining about it, not much depth to the conversation about what Overlanding is or what it means to people who do...

    I'm currently about 2/3 of the way through building my own M416 expedition trailer, If this was for sale when I started my build I would have purchased yours.
