I agree, under armor should be first. lots of vulnerable components underneath, don't let them be "out of sight, out of mind", it could cost you.

Making your own isn't all that difficult and could save you some $$$.$$.

So I heard a rumor that a group of overlanders were in town from Germany and currently were touring the Olympic Peninsula. We (my family) decided to drive to Rialto beach today and enjoy the holiday and remember the fallen soldiers that fought for this land we enjoy. While there...in the...

1969 thanks... and ask @Corrie if you received badges for #0940 back...I sent them! Thanks guys!

Yes, I agree...farm roads and cobble stone.

Oh...I don't know...a roof rack, some rally lights, maybe on of those cargo baskets that fit into the trailer hitch. Remember...years ago, many Europeans put racks and lights on VW bugs and drove up mountains and across continents! Let's not forget the ultimate small overlander...the Russian...

LOL...compared to my disco...it was a RAV 4. Actually though, the Bronco II's and S'10's were mid sized...however, they were barely roomier than a wrangler...There are Subaru's that are considered small, but have more room than a 2 door Wrangler. So, I guess it's what you mean by small.

I like the decal, (I've seen on a few overland rigs), that says, "Sure, you can drive fast...but I can drive anywhere!"

Wow, this thread has really brought back memories...first of the family AMC Gremlin X, and now of my 1991 S-10 Blazer...I drove that rig everywhere! Even through and over things meant for "built" rigs only. At the time I was a full time kayaking guide and did kayak sales as well. The pic of the...

Brings back a lot of memories Steve! I grew up in Germany as my dad was stationed there for 12 years. We traveled and went camping a lot. We drove a lot of back roads, logging roads, gravel roads and forest roads...camping out of our AMC Gremlin X "family car" (ours had the optional 304 V8)...

Welcome to OB!! Happy to have you!

Look into Old Man Emu as well, they make great suspension parts.

If you're not going to rock crawl...then upgrade your suspension, but DO NOT lift. These vehicles are designed to drive sideways at a 45 degree angle without tipping. Once you lift it you raise the center of gravity, and you will roll...lol. Same with bigger tires. These vehicles are prone to...

Outstanding job to everyone involved...Thank you!!

Nice!!!!

LOL...is that a guitar amp in the back with your overlanding gear...so friggin' AWESOME!

Build your own...bang for your buck and more durable! If you want ideas you can look on you tube or see my post in "General Discussions" Snorkel Kit for under $100.00. Plus the added prestige of being the "DIY Guy!!", lol.....

Welcome to the Overlanding brotherhood!

Welcome mate! I think you'll like it here. The people on this site are top notch. As a Rover owner, I must say...great looking Disco ya have there! Looking forward to pics, stories, and correspondence! Cheers!

Awesome story from Gear Patrol that goes to show...you don't need a lot of experience to become an "Overlander". We all started somewhere and we all gained experience along the way...I hope this story inspires newcomers to overlanding and adventuring! The Man Who Won a 1,000-Mile Expedition...
