That right there @Reconnoiter , is pure awesome!!!
I'll play! This is my first "overland-ish" rig. Bought it in 2009 and sold it in 2015. She had almost 300k on the odo. and was absolutely flawless. I miss my 3rd gen....

View attachment 10073 This sure sparked some memories. New 1981 Toyota SR5, short bed with a small lift and KYB shocks. It was like driving a cinder block down the road.
How do you like that Renegade? I had a chance to work on the accessory program for it and fell in love with the little bugger the minute I saw it!
Mine is the middle one!
My first vehicle ever, '88 Landcruiser. Dad drove it for a few years and then gave it to me as a birthday gift. Pic is a stock pic but mine was identical. Gave up the ghost in '03 after a long and fruitful life. Almost half a million miles.

Sorry, I would show my first rig but it was before cameras were invented! ...or at least before I owned a camera.
'62 VW Bug turned Baja!
Every car I've owned would be considered an overland rig by our own definition.

88' Isuzu Trooper IIView attachment 10118 My first car. Got my license in high school in 96' and found the closest thing I could to a Camel Trophy Land Rover Discovery. I even put a Land Rover emblem on the back door. That truck had style!
Here is mine an 89 fj62 that I had converted to a 12ht turbo diesel I'd still have it if it weren't for a time when I wasn't working and had to sell it.
Man I miss it.
