He asked the question. "What are you waiting for?" me: "Money"

I had no idea I was 'overlanding.' I've always just called it 4-wheeling to the only campsites not completely packed with people.

In the 80's we call it camping. 🏕 🛻

I still just call it car camping

Great info - like the suggestion about taking a packable tent in case you need to abandon the vehicle. Smart.

Nice video, guys!

Well done covers all the basics

Oh, so overlanding is the same thing everyone going on off road trips has been doing, since ever....

I had no idea this was a thing till just yesterday. Was looking at buying an old jeep for a project car and found out about it and it sounds so fun would love to get involved eventually

I remember back about 30 years ago , I wanted to outfit my mountain bike, and from my house ride all the way down through Chatfield state park, up waterton canyon and into the colorado trail. The plan was to camp a few nights and return home. So one day I had my wife drop my off at waterton canyon so I could ride up the canyon to where the Colorado trail starts and then ride home from there. 100° temps, when I got near home I was cooked so I called her to have her meet me at DQ, never did do my trip. Now I take my rig and am able to do something very similar. So much easier! Not the same but I'm happy!

Well say it video. If you enjoy overlanding your spouse must share the same passion in my opinion because my spouse doesn't. Every time I talk about it "Problems. "

Soft-roader/Lite overlander. I'm running a 2WD 2009 Jeep Patriot (daily driver), backpacking air mattress in the back so I can stealth it when I need to, and don't have to set up in a downpour.

Good video, thanks for sharing 👍

I love the idea of overlanding. Problem is all the off-road trails are so far away from where I live. It's nice to have a 4x4, but i'm content to go as far as my 2wd takes me.

The best overlanding Rig is the one you already have that is reliable and dependable. Easy and low cost to repair. Like my 04 chevy S10 crewcab ZR5. With rough country 2.5" and very aggressive 29" tall 235/75R15 Hankook dynapro MT tires. May not be able to go where rigs with 35" or bigger tires can go. But still goes where basic avg daily driver vehicles can't go. Awesome vid. By the way.

Definitely subscribed after that video!

I drove a stock Ford Focus hatchback from Chicago to Vancouver BC, took it on a ferry to an island and eventually up some sketchy dirt road to a remote camp site.... these dudes just go off road pretty hard. But you’re jellie of my gas mileage, lol.

You don't really need a lift and bigger tires. Correct wheel placement can get you up some stuff. But yes they help

I have been building my overlander for almost a year. I already have a lift, wheels and tires, but what do you guys have for a 2000 Chevy astro

Overlanding... its sooo much more than camping and wheeling wheeling, or camping in more than one spot during a journey. Its the whole process... ... planning, packing, driving, exploring, photographing, stopping and breathing deeply while looking across a canyon at a herd of Elk, cooking, eating, visiting with buddies and friends, even meeting people on occasion, culminating with an end knowing you get to do it again. I started out just wheeling, then overnight camping over longer weekends. (which I still look forward to). My favorite are the 7 to 14 day trips where you get to put on some miles. Exploring with a partner in the same rig is fun but two rigs and two people (or couples) is the sweet spot in my opinion. Three rigs are ok, but sharing the journey with someone else is just crazy enjoyable.

Rim is the inboard (or back) lip of a wheel assembly. There is also the center (disc) and the barrel. Wheel the proper term for a complete assembly.

Can you please share what are the popular trade shows for Overlanding. thx

You actually see way more just by backpacking and save thousands. You miss so much while in the vehicle. It really is just for people who do not have the energy to hike. The perfect phrase for overlanding "If it was easy everyone would do it" which is why you see so many people overlanding

Hey it’s LLOD multicam Black Tacoma and 💩 Cruiser 🤗👋🏼 @lastlineofdefense and Ash

can you overland in a. Subaru wilderness edition forester? I'm looking to purchase one this winter

wHaT aRe YuO wAiTinG fOr? Jee maybe trying to find some friends who are down for this, ive been having a hard time to find groups and communities to do this with.

Who's t4r is in the thumbnail? Thing looks sick

Great video!! Subbed

i think a distinction to be made on camping vs overlanding, is that camping is something i can do with my camry, i can take fire roads, or paved roads to campsites, no big deal. but overlanding, requires the use of a purpose built offroad vehicle to take you camping further outdoors than the avg campers. the vehicles are set up to go even FURTHER down trail than many offroad vehicles, with spare gas, and faster shelter setup for more frequent location changes. tldr; overlanding is camping/offroading far away from where a sedan could go. whereas camping can be done at parks that dont even leave the pavement. that being said, tents on the ground > tents on the roof/bed lol

Great vids... Just subbed, just found ya.

Waiting for my red Method wheel set from TBOR.. Can't wait so I can go overland at the mall parking lot in my Tacoma 4x4 OR... Don't wanna get my new wheels dirty or scratched now.! 🤪

Overlanding = yuppie term for camping acting like they're doing something new and adventurous when in reality they are just camping like people have been doing for years. This is also code for, my tent is above the bed of my truck for no other reason than it is a cool new trend. Another code for, I wear nice new flannel shirts that haven't seen a day of hard work because I'm a office jockey and they make me look rugged and manly I think since my wife has my balls in her purse. Goofy beards, and cuffed jeans skinny jeans also are common.

92 xj 32” mt 4.5 lift, fox shocks. Real 8.8 with lockers 💪

All steel rims and 17" BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 will be available even outside NA. IMO, you need a 2.5" lift with gas shocks, a roof tent, a refrigerator, a cooking station, an onboard air compressor, a bull bar and front winch, rear bumper with tire carrier, recovery points and tools like straps snatch blocks, d rings, shovel, hi-lift jack, Maxtracks, onboard 15galon filtered (with UV) water supply with pump. Manual transmission, V6 engine with no turbo. Must get 18-20mpg and fit in a 20' shipping container. You can buy one of these or have it built on a 2013 JK for less $$ than any new "overlander"

I have a city job...technically I won't be able to truly "overland" until I retire in 2032. I could never take more than a week off at a time and maybe timed just right with a paid holiday, I may have a 4 day weekend. I live in Texas, which is mostly private land so to truly get off grid means crossing state lines. To really get to the good places - NM, CO, UT, AK etc. just takes ALOT of time. I just have to be content to explore the back roads here. I use Google maps/earth and Gaia maps to look for free places to go. I got obsessed with overlanding watching Expedition Overland and wanted to do that so bad. I've built up a 99 Lexus LX470 and went way over board for what I actually NEED. It got to the point where I was constantly shopping for the next "item" and daydreaming/planning for what might be just a few days out of the entire year. I've come to peace that true "overlanding" just does not fit and I have to be content to be the weekend adventurer. I don't want to quit my job since in the long term, once I get to retirement, since I started a bit early, I'll be able to overland all I want.....albeit by then, it might be from one dr. to the next (hopefully not HAHA) I LOVE my home state of TEXAS, but it's not a good state for overlanding. There are places, you just have to work harder to find them and keep them secret :D

Fire extinguishers are very important

What you guys call overlanding I refer to as living. I'm sorry but I have to point this out. The way that people are going about this kind of cheapens the experience. How people just go out and they dropped fifty thousand or a hundred thousand on the rig. I'm old school, you build your rig as you go. Half the time you're building your rig on the road, finding a derelict vehicle that rolled off the side of a cliff. Stripping it of anything useful and taking the parts with you. Overlanding was how we put food on the table. Scalping everything in sight from 200 year old gold mines two vehicles abandoned off the side of cliffs. Old ghost towns from the days of the Cowboys to random junk yards that have been forgotten about.

I hate it when emergencies arrive. ; / Especially when they come by turtle.

What kind of teleprompter are you guys running? lol

I came to see the rig in the thumbnail, where is it?

Don't forget extra GAS. Jeeps don't make it too far without 😅

My rig is a 97 k1500 suburban .

I’m looking to get into this lifestyle! I really wanna get a 2008-2010 INFINITI QX56

"There is no perfect rig..." Laughs in Toyota Landcruiser

so if you arent cattle driving or cutting road through the bush, then you arent overlanding, you are offroading to go camping.....

Great description of overlanding. Side view (not looking at the camera) is sooo very annoying. Still love the channel. 😁👍

Living in Texas, especially in Ranches, everyday is over landing. City boys make it seem so special though, and aftermarket rats r pushing it to make $.

A lot of LLOD content

so its camping?

OMG all the newbies that don't know anything about camping or wheelin going to be out getting stuck where their cell phone doesn't work taking a GPS shortcut.

You’re not overlanding unless you have an RTT and an IG account for your rig

IMO this video is off beam. There is too much emphasis on the off-roading and not enough on the self reliance / multiple destination element. The video is also used to promote the fancy wheel rims which the author's company is selling - good stuff but that belongs in another video. Some of the most notable overlanding trips have been performed in virtually standard vehicles e.g. the First Overland trip London to Singapore using Series 1 Land Rovers in 1955; Tom Sheppard's east / west crossing of the Sahara; a recent group of guys who drove from London to Mongolia in a 2wd stock van. Sure you can make expensive upgrades to your vehicle but this doesn't need to be the starting point. Don't confuse overlanding with rock climbing, hard core off-roading or weekend camping, it's a different thing (at least outside the USA).

OZZIE!!! not Owsie!

Doesn’t really seem to exist in the USA. Too much widely dispersed development.

Tell me they did not have pineapple on that pizza ahhh

What is overlanding? An overused term that some Americans stole from the Aussies cause they watched some Aussie KZfaq vids and wanted to make their offroad glamping sound exotic and cool. Beard and retro flannels recommended. Hopefully y’all get the sarcasm and don’t get all butt hurt, given that I do it, whatever we want to call it. But seriously, couldn’t we have just let the Aussies keep their own word for it? To me it’s just all offroading, sometimes with camping, sometimes not- always has been, always will be. Everyone should get out of it what they want. We don’t need a bunch of subgenre categories for every way people do it differently.

What's a cheap, best value for money, 4x4 to start overlanding/offroading with?

Overlanding... A term mellininials use for traveling to their campsite in a vehicle which the rest of us have been doing for decades.

So car camping

Damn, you forgot the most important thing... fuel! You don't want to take a vehicle that gets 8mpg and you may want an extended range fuel tank or jerry cans.

stopped watching after seeing those big ass tires and huge suspension lifts. Great for ig photos though

i can do most of this stuff in my civic smh

So overlanding in 2024 is car camping for rich people who only do easy trails?

Overlanding is just car camping

It's just a new made up term that's just renaming something people have done for hundreds of years, think of the wagon trains heading wast. With us it's going as far away form people for as long as we can without getting ourselves in any sort of trouble.

Sorry but half of that was wayyyy off. Anyone overlanding does not eat MRE meals or freeze dried. Definitely not here in Australia anyway. 4wding and overlanding are two totally different things but you've mixed them together. I do like your video bud but needs a bit more research. We don't run big tyres for overlanding, we don't run anymore than a 2inch lift for overlanding as it's not needed. 4wding yes bigger lifts and tyres. Well done so far though.

Josh my man, loosen up a lil'. Ya got so busy trying to cover all your talking points that stffen'd up an your eyes got lost in the teleprompter.

Why the hell doesn't he just say car camping we're going off the grid this is nonsense

Overlanding: Predominantly American or Australian hobby by which retired, or KZfaq individuals dump thousands of dollars into a rig for the purpose of extended camping trips, otherwise known as being “off grid”. Btw... does LLOD know you stole a bunch of his footage?

Rims?Only a newbie will call their wheels-rims.
