Camping, Rafting, or Overwatering?

Cool. I have a '73 as well. I'll try and dig up a pic.

what's a land rover

It’s one of the trucks you’ll come across broken down, stuck, or abandoned… because the owner got tired of fixing it.




Please don’t use my post as an excuse to derail this excellent thread.

Overlanding is remote camping. With an emphasis on the “getting there” part. YES most 40 owners that have been at it for a long time have been doing this already. Overlanding has a bigger focus on self reliance and the gear to get you there.
That should sound familiar to most 40 owners.

I see a lot of overlanding setups in campgrounds when we are out in our camp trailer. They must be just working the bugs out.

Here's our old CAMP setup as well... Working on a new one now

There are quite a few us not patiently waiting on the details of this "new one"...

Nice, if you look at the last photo on my original post, I have added similar mub flaps right behind the wheel, they help A LOT with minimizing crap getting behind the tail lights. The big mud flap help protect the trailer a lot.

If “Overlanding” implies self reliance then just about ANY outing in one off road is Overlanding. As I purchased a 5X7 full size Confer rack from Mark @65swb45 a few years back, wondering how it is sleeping on top of the roof rack? Here in AZ it rarely rains! Thanks

I have spent many nights under the stars on my 5x7. And I have a 4-man OZ tent I got in trade from Urban Cruisers about 15 years ago that fits in the rack for when I just have to have a rooftop tent!

Do you put something over the rack bars to make it flat/confortable ?

A sheet of marine grade plywood

So, camping?

Camping is for peasants.

That is like sleeping on a sheet of gold, nowadays!
