    Landrovers... I have equal parts of love and hate with my 1995 Defender. Sometimes the hate turns to rage. But I always forgive, then forget and the cycle starts over. Good luck and be safe on your travels. Welcome to OB! Matt

    Into the desert, overland camping.

    Not quite alone, but I just returned from three days with a buddy in the Dragoon and Chiricahua mountains southeast of Tucson.

    Welcome Tom! I think Long Beach Island in NJ allows Oceanside driving at certain times of the year. Not sure about camping though. So many great options outside the NY metro area!

    Into the desert, overland camping.

    The next 2-3 months is perfect weather for camping in southern Arizona. In SE Arizona you're in the transition zone between the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. You'll find warm days and cool nights whether you're on the desert floor or in the mountains. In summer, the sky island mountains are...

    Opinions wanted on practicality of towing a trailer.

    About 12 years ago my wife 'surpised' me with a Manley ORV utility trailer for our growing camping adventures with junior.

    Alex, I'm sure you've had some great travels with Ben. For vehicles in Africa he seems in good condition on the surface. Land Rovers and Toyotas, parts should be available in that part of the world. Both are certainly built tough to withstand the terrain. It's been almost 20 years since I was...

    Hello from new member in Southern Arizona

    It's two and and a half season nice here in Arizona. Late winter through spring and fall through early winter. The air vents don't cool very well in summer!

    Arizona Overlanders

    New member just joined on Leap Day from Sierra Vista. I've done my share of 4WD exploring in California, Colorado, Baja and Arizona in the past but starting to dust off my driving skills and discover overlanding with like-minded folks in Southern Arizona. My most memorable trip was leading a...
