So overlanders basically are open to getting robbed in a tent at gunpoint

Thanks... I had a friend Overland in Columbia and would consistently have attempts of being robbed. Didn't know if anyone carried guns or what laws are

I lived in an Audi for 12 months. I had toxic mold poisoning and could not go back in my condo. It was safer to be outside. I actually parked in Flagstaff over the summer and slept in my front seat of a darn sports car. Pooped in the woods and all that. Honestly it wasn't bad but I'm tough as...

Question: when leaving the USA and heading to South America or other, do any of you carry a GUN? What are the laws let's say if you head out to the Patagonia or other areas? Is it cheaper on fuel? Many questions.

I asked on the land rover forum that you all suggested I do. The general consensus is they are all piles of dog poo. All members say go nissan or toyota. This is sad.

The old defenders are almost 150,000k lol

So with the older Rovers, or toyota you bring a toolbox and if you are handy you can repair without a laptop diagnostic 15k tool like the dealers use

So basically go old school and minimize. I love the rovers but I made a joke earlier that they can't even get kids to school without breaking. I love the space in the LR4. It's a very utilitarian look and they drive amazing. However as you said, it's a full on computer. So you think it's better...

Didn't realize these are so capable. Didn't they discontinue it?

Omg Wow!!! Omg now this is why I joined this awesome community. I had no clue.

I loved my Wrangler but I sold it long ago. I had no idea you could get a bed in the Wrangler. I froze in that jeep.

Yes, I need solar pannels to work off my laptop. I'm lucky enough to be able to do this. I simply want to go from Florida to Colorado to Wyoming and last montana. 12 months I'm guessing. Roof rack, solar, etc. I car camped in an audi sports car for 3 months once. I figure if I can do that I can...

Terrain del fuego?? What is this? Is jt desirable? Yeah, like the Montero I wanted a utilitarian bigger suv. I don't like tents. The land rover I drove was perfect but as I said in my other posts, I hear the reliability is horrible.

Great answer thank u! I travel light but like to sleep inside the truck

So last month I tested a 2020 discover and a 2016 lr4. Absolute bliss. I love a luxury Suv. The price point with all my add on was in my budget. However, I live in Palm Beach County. Home of the Range Rover that only action they see is taking kids to school. They still seem to have issues doing...

All great feedback. I appreciate it. I'm in the same zone. I plan to NOT roll hard but do want to go to some good hard spots off the path. But this is mostly INSIDE vehicle sleeping with roofrack and I want a custom platform made for a mattress with storage drawers. Maybe a solar panel for my...

Thank you! I'm reading now. Best research ahead. I posted a thread under preparing a new rig. I labeled the terain limits as well as some other info. I want to be a land rover man. I just don't know what j would be getting into vs that of a 4runner where I read the reliability factor is key. Not...

I'm open ears and doing a LOT of reading. Any other resources you all can provide would be amazing. I'm going to start searching for a vehicle next month. I'm not really a hardcore off road. I probably will not be climbing a vehicle over professional terrain as you all. I'm wanting mountains...

Thank you for the reply. My last small venture was very novice. I'm not an expert by far. I ended up doing more camping style than extreme off road. I used my jeep Wrangler and regreted the fact that I had zero cabin space if I wanted to sleep inside. My path was from Missouri to northern...

I spent most of my trip mapped from Missouri, through northern Arizona and then up to Utah. I'm a complete novice. I ended up regretting the jeep Wrangler due to lack of cabin space. I packed a tent and did a great job preparing I think. This time I want to do at least a full year. I'm not a...
