I didnt get a chance to read the whole thread but I did read about 16 pages of it. To me what makes a "Overland" or "Rock Crawler" or whatever else you want to call your rig depends on what the owner wants to call it. Im not sure what other than someone calling it a "Overland" makes it one. I agee with WOL I think his rig (and the other guys who said the same thing) can pretty much do whatever he wants it to do. Its a pretty built up rig and there is probably not much he can't do with it. I hope to someday have a rig as capable of what Moby and Rubicat can do. I like WOL outlook on wheeling (or at least what I get out of his posts in this thread as well as many others), wheel it and upgrade what you need to fit your needs, wheel it some more and upgrade what breaks to something stronger that can handle more punishment.

... I do have a soft spot for wagons. It's probably the beard.

I'm a simple guy so these are my definitions of Overland and Rock Krawler.
Overland is more like a RV or Camper. A vehicle that you can actually live out of. One that has great gas milage and is reliable.
Rock Krawler would be a rock krawler.
Overland vehicles can't be rock krawlers because they need to have good gas milage and have the ability to support life (refrigerator, lots of storage, etc). And on the other hand rock krawlers need to have big tires and no storage at all.
First pic is a overland vehicle. Second is a rock krawler.

While I don't get the overland extreme mods, I do like the AEV rooftop tent that was part of the hardtop, and popped up, with the hinges at the front of the top, and a whole cut in the very back if the hardtop to climb up in. I dong use my factory hardtop, and it'd make a great tent.
Not a fan of the huge rooftop tents that mount on a roof rack.

Poisonous snakes, scorpions, and spiders.
The origin of these roof top tents is Africa and Australia. Lots of those critters there. Being on top of the vehicle keeps their incursions to a minimum.
One could call it a safety feature.
Though, if you have to get out in the middle of the night in a hurry.... one could also call it a safety hazard....
