I'm sorry, but I gotta ask.....

Overearthing you will go!

 

I'm not so sure.....
I think quite of few of those guys' rigs weigh more than a ton.

 

Don't you feel like the ass now

 

Garbage, hot garbage!!!!

 

A bike for lazy people.

 

I pass a T4R "feauverlander" on the way to work sometimes. Black, roof rack, steps up the back, winch, recovery hooks, some kind of rack on the rear with a spare and jerry cans on it. Everything on it perfectly spotless and clean. None of that shit has ever been used and you could lay a white bread sammich on the rear axle and not have a mark on it.

Dude drives about half as fast as your grandma in her 1985 Buick. I figure he's fantasizing about all the adventures he's on while driving to work. Cars are passing him all around as he's usually doing 30 in the 45 zone I see him in and takes about a half mile to creep up to that 30mph. It's the damnest thing I've seen in awhile.

 

I'm 55. I even know Quinn the Eskimo... because I "got there."

 

1st world phenomenon. People take $40k+ vehicles with $30K worth of aftermarket mods to do what others have done in covered wagons and horses.

They usually don't die of dysentery though.

 

Back then a wagon cost as much as a tacoma.

 

Or they built it themselves

 

Hey, I'm 60 and DRIVE LIKE IT!!!!!! Sad to say, but I am the guy who everyone else yells 'Get the hell out of the way' at!!!

When I was in my 20's I drove like I was in my 20's - get the hell out of my way!!!

 

My coworker drives a sweet JK and even he doesnt know. And get this....his last name is Oberlander! No joke.

 

The feauverlander I posted about above is a 30 something hipster looking dude. It's frikken bizzare. I'm 48 and drive like I'm 17. GTFO of my way bee-yotches!

 

I'm only five year younger than you. The guy I ride with is 62. We rode 1200 miles of single Track trails on our bikes last year from March through October. Get off the couch man and live!

 

I believe a lot of covered wagons did things and went places no jeep or other 4x4 could have gone! They had better clearance than military hummers. Deep river crossing and floats (where snorkels would have drowned and wheels would have gotten stuck), roping down cliffs, etc. If you go to some of the old historic trail parks, you would be in awe at what the old timers did and accomplished.

 

See, you are on to something. Toyota should start making covered wagons, getting in on the ground floor of the next wave of overlanding...lol

A real "Back to the Future" edition..

 

If I was being this guy I would seriously get triggered after admiring all his gear

 

You know what, maybe he will be the one that will end up laughing at all of us when the zombies start biting!!

Proper planning in overlanding prevents piss poor performance

 

Slap some overlanding graphics on the side and throw in a free stove/yeti cooler, they'll fly off the lot for a mere $84,999.

 

Flying covered wagons...now you're talking!

Hopefully they will have height adjustable seating....
