Not your typical Overland Vehicle (pics)

[clo_iam]

This is my 1987 Land Rover Ninety, daily rig.

Original 2.5td engine and transmission, sitting on BFG 255/85r/16 MTs.

It's permanent 4 wheel drive but still gets me roughly 23 MPG. Currently have an Engel in the back powered by a 100 watt solar panel and a secondary battery.

Been in Arizona for 3 months now and has seen many dusty adventures, the most recent being a five day, 1,000 mile Moab trip.

Hey is there anything you don’t like about your trooper? been kinda looking at them as a possible replacement for my sequoia.

Not much aftermarket support is the biggest issue. They say the automatic tranys die but mine is manual so I don't worry about that.
When it comes to manual transmissions they lack internal replacement parts.
If you get one with 180+ miles you will need a head job done.
Overall I personally believe it the best off-roader for cheap (besides Jeep). The axles, frame, and suspension are just so much bulkier than the Pathfinders and 4-Runners.

Well I get to add another to this l just picked up this 99 Tahoe as a replacement for my Sequoia Already came with a 6 inch lift and 35s so I turn down the torsion bars to about 4 inches of lift so all the CV are nice and flat now and happy

Buddy of mine lost his phone on a field exercise so we loaded up the Jeep and went after it and even came out successful. Haven’t spent much time in the training area in Ft. Bragg but I had a blast and the trails had a lot of beautiful views.

I think uncommon rigs have the best charm, sometimes a everyday vehicles have hidden talents too. This is my 98 crv, nothing special but it gets me outside for some soft roading and camping.

Not much for Overlanding yet but I hope I can change that next summer. This is my DD and currently my impromptu work vehicle.

Commitment to bad links? LOL! ;)

Seriously though, the link doesn’t work.

Hmmm, interesting.
How about this?

My 2017 Chevrolet Trax is definitely not the norm for overlanding, but I live to be different!

The past three vehicles I've had are fairly unique. Safe to say the Grand Cherokee is the most mainstream one (I know a couple of people on here are in WK2's). I have not seen any Ford Rangers (I don't think) and only a couple of Expeditions.

many many weekends spent in that ranger going down random trails/dirt roads/etc. around where I live. This is the truck that sparked my desire for exploring. I absolutely want an older tacoma/ranger/jeep when I have the room and time and money as a secondary vehicle.

I couldn’t agree more. Great idea for a thread.

@Terry Pickens beat me to it but here’s another Outback.

I gotta know more about this monster! How'd you lift it? How high? What size tires? I've never seen a trailblazer like this before!
