    Most of the trucks that are posted here wouldn't fall into the overland expedition category.

    BS. "overland" and "expedition" are about mindset and an adventure, NOT about the vehicle and the gear you have.

    Go tell this guy from Spain that he's not an "overlander" or that his car isn't "expedition" enough, because it doesn't have a RTT, and a fridge and a fancy drawer system yada yada yada. Hell he doesn't even have 4WD so how can it count as an "expo" vehicle? right? This dude is WAY more "expedition" than 90% of the poseurs that buy all the fancy gear and never go anywhere.

    Again, it's about the journey and the spirit of adventure Far more than it is about your vehicle and equipment you have.

    Overlanding has nothing to do with the vehicle. As lo as it takes you to where you want to go safely there and back..it's an overland vehicle.


    Agree wi all this too

    I've done a ton of what I'd call, urban camping too. On the down low sleeping in the truck saving monies for the gas :p Had to organize all the gear so it was still inside the truck, and looked like just a truck parked there. The good ol days...had that nissan across country maybe 3 or 4 times, and then this white taco set up probably a half dozen times..

    Not too many extended trips with my current set up :( been settled down for a good min working and buying houses and chit :cool:
