Huh. Poor choice of font. I'm not reading that as 'Salt life'....

Also, spotted today out in the country...

Not entirely sure if he is "under" overland, or if it's a play on Suburban. His only visible accessory was the rusty roof rack (and the sticker) along with some M/Ts.

From a company in Idaho that does Suburban build-outs. Pretty well-respected from what I’ve heard:

SUBOVERLAND | 4X4 Camper Conversion | United States

At SUBOVERLAND we build Off-Road, Off-Grid, 4X4 adventure vehicles. Email or call for more info.

It's all part of the experience

Forest floor to undergarment curated authentic experiences with artisanal spring water closet parchment infused with raw local and free range beyond organic ingredients.

And that's exactly how bark gets in your underwear.

Man in obvious pain sez to his physician:
“Doc, I think I have hemorrhoids, and they’re really, really itchy and painful.”

Doctor:
“Well, when did you first notice this new ailment?”

Patient:
“When we got back from camping out in the woods this last weekend.”

Doctor :
“Well, drop your trousers and bend over and let me take a look”

A few moments later, the guy’s GP straightens back up, and sez!
“The good news is, you don’t have hemorrhoids,
The bad news is, you have pine nuts!”

Face it......if you can't prove your Overlanding, then your not Overlanding....

Nice looking bike! Did you end up going with that Tenere to replace your KLR? Might need to change your user name, haha

Thanks. Yeah, it's a rental that I took out for the day to see if it's the bike I want........Yep, it's the bike I want so now I just have to find one!

Heck....I can even pick it up when I lay it down!

Did you lay it down to test or was that not intentional?
I sat on a KLR and Tenere back to back when I was bike shopping. I personally found the Tenere quite a bit taller.

I laid it down. But, I did take it out on some mountain trails and creek crossings and thankfully didn't drop it in a creek! Yeah, my 1st Gen KLR is notably lower the this T7.

It's like doubly ironic.....kinda making fun of yourself but at the same, the only ones that would buy it are the ones that are really into overlanding so it's ironically ironic? Not sure if anybody else sees it that way....

Could use a RTT and then he'll be Overland ready!

I see dozens of these thriving around- always good for a laugh.

Am I missing something? Looks like a fun jeep to me.

 

[MontySquareo]

They are fun, until it's raining or you want heat or a/c. The jeep itself is fun, but it's funny how many people daily drive these when you could have an ordinary car that's got better handling on pavement, better economy, a/c that does something, and you can have a nice conversation inside.
