Anyone knee deep into this subculture?
Myself and several work colleagues are planning on doing the alpine loop in colorado this summer. I am curious if anyone else on this board is a part of the overlanding cult?

Always cracks me up to see this decked out overlanding rig with $100k in mods on the trail and then see a local in a beat up Toyota Camry following behind.
Nah, I disagree. I've done it multiple times in my Tacoma and I can still drive into town... plus I have A/C and heat!Kyle Field Shade Chaser said:Bag said:

If you value your minimal pain of your butt cheeks, I HIGHLY ADVISE doing the Alpine loop in a OHV. Don't use a Jeep, 4Runner, Taco, Bronco, etc. If you do the entire loop with a Jeep, your ass cheeks are going to be telling you....yep should have listened to that dude on TexAgs! Ha!
I'm telling you, do it in a OHV that has a cushy suspension. Your body will thank you later. A Polaris Ranger may not even be soft enough. Use a RZR or General or Expedition or equivalent.
It is! Or at least is for most of Texas.LRHF said:

No. I literally mean a Camry (or some generic beater car). Most of our overlanding here Oregon is on forest roads though, so it's pretty mild.AgLA06 said:You mean Tacoma?Lt. Joe Bookman said:

we are wanting to take our time and camp along the way, anywhere you can suggest to camp on the loop?Naveronski said:Nah, I disagree. I've done it multiple times in my Tacoma and I can still drive into town... plus I have A/C and heat!Kyle Field Shade Chaser said:Bag said:

Wow, I've done this multiple times in a stock 4runner and had a great time. Barely used 4wd, and the only really bumpy part was when I dropped off the loop to go down to Animas Forks. I would have HATED that dusty ride in an OHV!Kyle Field Shade Chaser said:Bag said:

Never heard of this term being used in this context till this thread. It's pretty cool calling it "overlanding".
Conjures up thoughts of long ago when John Butterfield started the Brumfield Overland Mail company stage operations in 1858….hauling mail and folks from MO. to Cal…….
Or John Willys buying Overland Automotive in 1908 that started one of the most iconic vehicle brands ever.
Quite a tribute to call the adventure off roading of today "overlanding". May the American spirit of going cross country forever live.

Alex and have done a tiny bit of overlanding, but a ton of rooftop tent camping...over 200 nights and in almost every state.
If you have questions about rooftop tents, happy to try and answer them.
Thanks! Build completed July of last year and it's been sick for our little family!MasonB said:
Very nice!
Would love that rig.
And they probably aren't looking for an ego pissing match over getting outdoors.Centerpole90 said:

OP, you'll find the auto board also has a lot of info on the subject. A couple posters who have shared here have documented many trips over there.
Coming down from Engineer Pass past Mineral Point in the rain a few years ago and passing several UTVers huddled under a tarp along the side of the trail cured me of any desire to take a UTV any significant distance around the Alpine LoopFurlock Bones said:Naveronski said:Nah, I disagree.

Did it in my Gladiator. Didn't once think I wish I was in a razor especially when it turned rainy and cold after being sunny and 75.
