Roof Rack + Snorkel = Overland?

[NTXRUBICON]

Dont mind the paint i gave up on mine the first time i slide down a bank and got into some trees and the only way to get out was forward so i made the decision to compromise looks lol it was either scratches or get winched up a hill sideways. Since there was no one with a winch i had to just close my eyes and go.

That sounds like a trip for a rectal exam just grin and bear it lol

LOL!! Man this thread has gone WAY OFF TOPIC :crazyeyes: Just to bring it back, I have to ask yet again, here in America, what exactly constitutes "overland" wheeling and, how exactly does a Jeep built up for that differ from any other good Jeep build? Inquiring minds would like to know :yup:

Clearly an AEV lift, a snorkel and some roof racking makes the best jeep. If you don't go with a lift made by an former jeep engineer then you're not qualified to go on safari.

Well, is a snorkel for dust or for water?

I MEAN NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS!:beer:

I think the Overlander moniker more describes the African Safari/Outback caravan types that wear Khakis to their archeological digs...since a Wrangler is cheaper than a Land Rover Defender 110.

Do you own a round safari hard hat or a ball cap? Do you wear a monacle or Oakleys? Do you carry a .45 pistol or a $23,000 double barrel shotgun? Do you use your jeep for the fun and challenge of wheeling or do you want to pack as much shit as you can and be completely self sufficient for 6 months in Siberia?

In my humble opinon, I think Overland is more of a state of mind and attitiude than anything. It's another personal preference of what you Jeep means to you, and how it serves it's purpose in your life.

If you wear linen khakis...rolled up three inches...with loafers and no socks, a slightly intentionally wrinkled $400 shirt, have perfectly sculped bed-head hair, AND have a Jeep with racks, snorkel and AEV shit all over it because thats what is stylish...you sir, are an Overlander.

BTW - I would be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that we've seen more history, wildlife, culture and scenery in our extravagantly built Moby Dick than most self-professed overland types could ever hope to in their idea of a purpose built overland Jeeps. As far as self-sufficiency goes, well, I'd be willing to be that I'm still more prepared and self-sufficent for not only my needs but, for theirs as well :yup:

Moby is too much eye candy for me.

I have seen signs from above that tell me I've been and crossed overland. Better yet, I have pics to prove it.

Snorkels remind me of "survival" knives. They came with a compass, saw for cutting down trees, matches for starting a fire when you get stranded in the tundra. In the end the knife just got lost in the back of a drawer never being used for jack shit.

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well Rambo was the best.

"To eat things that would make a billy goat puke."

That's a line I heard close to 30 years ago and I've never forgotten it. F'ing bad ass!

This really is word for word isn't it,and to keep this on topic could his ride on the dirt bike be considered overlanding:thumbup:
