I like their movies. They are pretty talented in the cinematography department. The more people offroad, the better, regardless of the name assigned to it.

LOL!
When you have a chance go to the destinations and beyond section and this forum and look up the trips that a lot of us take. Most if not all of them are far more of an adventure then anything I've seen that guy take. Anyway check it out. It will be worth your time.

This thread was not about bashing over landers, it was about what makes an overlanding rig? Some try to say moby is a rock crawler, but Eddie did not build him for just rocks or just mud, or just fire roads, he built a rig that can go anywhere and everywhere, and he asked what is the difference between his rig and one that has been classed overland?
To be clear, that's how you've chosen to see it. Nobody I know has been bashing ANY Jeep setup, just the pretentious people who have taken the time to come up with a name like "overland" to describe the way they have their Jeep built up and as if it somehow gives it more meaning.
May I suggest that you spend more of your time on that forum. Certainly, you seem to be the kind of guy that wants to be around people who all agree with you instead of broadening your horizons, seeing things with a more open mind and having fun with people who may think differently than you.
Or, why not just look here:

There's a guy who goes by the moniker "wayoflife" and he and his wife take their Jeep on off-road adventures and photographs/films them - it's what they do and maybe, their insight will help folks out when talking about wheeling and having fun with friends while they take their Jeeps to remote locations and explore all that this country has to offer. We may not be any good at it but, we do have a good time. Of course, there are tons of members who do the same thing only, they don't call it "expedition" or "overland". :crazyeyes:
LOL!! That's my old forum where I have something like 36,000 posts. You'd have to search under the topics such as Jeeps, wheeling, off-roading, exploring, history and geology but, I have a few posts like that there. I'd say to check them out but, being that it doesn't contain the words "overland" or "expedition", it'll probably not be worth your time.
BINGO! :yup:

I know this thread has taken many directions, but I don't think overlanding is a Jeep term, nor was it intended to be. Jeeps are overland vehicles straight from the factory. They can go anywhere in stock form. The term probably started in the car scene, where people were modifying their vehicles to take on "dirt roads"...like how to turn your civic into an overland vehicle (beefier tires, etc.) Calling a jeep an overland vehicle seems a bit redundant. I personally think words like overland or expedition are generally useful to describe your vehicle to someone that has no idea about the offroading life. I find that I use the term expedition to describe the build direction I went with, simply because it's an easy visual for most, nothing else.

:cheesy: you certainly don't act your age. You clearly didn't read the entire thread if you are this butthurt over the responses people gave you.

What makes any of the rigs on 40's not set up for expedition?
:cheesy: LOL!! I know it's probably hard for you but, don't flatter yourself. Just because you don't like the response you got doesn't mean anyone is pissed.
:yawn37: I suppose this is the part where we're supposed to be impressed. :rolleyes2:
Sure you do, that's why you made sure to let us all know how many years you've been off roading and, just to keep it in the Jeep category, just how many Jeeps you've had so far. :rolleyes2:
Could have fooled me.
Again, nothing to apologize for. The only problem here is that you assume folks here are looking for your pre-conceived idea of an answer but, most guys like you all do.
:yawn37: Blah, blah, blah - we get it. You're the kind of guy that thinks highly of himself because of how long you've been on forums and how many you're still apart of. Well, for better or for worse, I have been on forums since the old BBS days too and I suppose it should be no surprise that guys like you never change.
Again, just because you don't like what you hear doesn't mean that the comments you have gotten were "negative". Being that you claim to be on some "really political forums", I'm surprised that you've never heard of a dissenting point of view let alone be able to handle one like a person your age should be able to. :naw:
Honestly, if you should apologize for something, it's the fact that you keep on apologizing for nothing.
Merry Christmas to you as well!!!

Not really the reason for thread. We're not trying to "look up" or "see pics" of overlanders. Thus the responses your getting.
You also came on here and asked us all to leave and look at another forum. Like we don't know they are out there. We like seeing jeeps and our buddies hitting trails.
FWIW, I'm in process of planning an overland trip with some friends and my stock jeep will do just fine.

:cheesy: Wow, you really are the kind of guy that chooses to believe whatever he wants to believe! In case you have missed it, everyone here LOVES it when self-important guys like you come on to a thread like this with his self-righteous drivel. In spite of your myopic vision of the world, we appreciate your dissenting opinion and enjoy discussing it. If you've really read though this entire thread, you will see that we always welcome and love the open discussion of different ideas. Of course you would rather just tell people to go to another forum where they can find people and posts that agree with you. :naw:
And exactly what is a vehicle set up for "expedition (overland)"? Please do give us "insight as to the differences with vehicles set up for multi tasks" here in America. That in a nutshell IS what this thread was all about.
I think this is the part where you're supposed to go to JK-Forum to find the answer. :rolleyes2:

My bad. I'm still learning these forum things. Only been around them for like 9 years. Certainly not 40.
Noob!! If you had just been wearing that fact on your shirt sleeves the way those who are experienced in the ways of the internet do, I would have known to not even acknowledge your existence. :rolleyes2:

Where? I never got my invite.
Great! So how about you answer the question I asked. In your own words, (please don't tell me to go looking at some other guys post on another forum) exactly what is a vehicle set up for "expedition (overland)"? Please give us "insight as to the differences with vehicles set up for multi tasks" as used here in America. That in a nutshell IS what this thread was all about in the first place.

Explain yourself then. Coming on here and telling us to go to another forum in your fourth post doesn't sound to promising. Right?
