I am often confused by the one or the other overlander or rock crawler monikers. While I fully understand and agree that both do exist separately, I also think that there is a separate subgroup in between. That is where I feel that I reside. I explore remote locations via overland methods. However I also like to access difficult trails, often when overlanding as well. Both because I enjoy it, and because my personal definition of exploration is the ability to reach hard to reach places, and not just by distance, but also terrain.
And my vehicle and modification decisions are in the middle as well. I also think that there is a compromise that can be achieved between capability, comfort, and efficiency that can allow you to do both.
I am an explorer and overlander at heart but many overlander's would call me a rock crawler due to some of my vehicle and trail choices.
Maybe we need a new category...or maybe I should just ignore them.

Rocklander or Over-rocker?
an Autoblog article offers a few more tidbits about the Brute Double Cab
-- pickup bed is a composite of carbon fiber, fiberglass and foam, stronger and 200 lbs lighter than the original steel Brute pickup bed
-- Dynatrac 44 axle up front, Dynatrac 60 rear
-- price to be determined
The article also has a couple of photos from the show floor

I hear you mon frer. Perhaps
überschwieriglander, or
Extreme-overlander, maybe
浪人揚げ過ぎ (Overlander Ronin - JDM vehicles only), how about
Supremely-capable-overlander...
nah, you're right; just ignore them but never refuse their request to get them unstuck with your truck.:coffeedrink:

Re: rock crawler vs overlander, I think a truck has to have a license plate to be considered an overland vehicle. If the vehicle has to be carried on a trailer to the place where it will be used, it's not an overlander.
That doesn't mean the overland vehicle can't have rough terrain capabilities. For example:
Rock Crawler
Overlander
