We had the pleasure of visiting Chico and Paradise, CA to meet up with Overland Bound members and collect donations for the Oroville Hope Center to help those devastated by the Camp Fire. Thanks to the help of Tim of Ordinary Overland, Alynn, and the team at Mountain Hatch, we met up with many locals to kick tires and talk shop.
Overlanding. It’s a term that’s been used with a variety of context over the decades. For me, the mere mention of the word conjures images of adventure, exploration, the excitement of the unknown and the thrill of traveling to places I haven’t been before. Opening a new tab in your browser and searching “define overlanding” will net you an actual definition: Overlanding is self-reliant overland travel to remote destinations where the journey is the principal goal.
Dan Rich, Overland Bound Member 0582 has been an Engineer for Toyota for 30 years in Power-train Research and Development. For much of that time he has tried many different configurations on his FZJ80, which has led to the build he shares in this video. His rig is modest, but performs well, and reliably.
Our friend Neil of @BWildJournals on instagram reminds us that you don’t have to break the bank to build an overland rig, and you can do something to make the world a little better along the way!
Meet Jeff and Monica Yaeger of Overland the World! We met up with them at the Overland Expo West, and we got to see their locked and loaded FZJ80 up close.
This is a story about things not going to plan, and lessons re-learned. What you will not see in the video is days and days of kicking myself after we almost rolled our good friends Live Work Wander’s Syncro van. In the video what you do not see is all of the things that add up to the shot where it almost rolls. If you can, notice just how close that was. Without the counter weight of a couple of people, I fear the worst would have happened.
