Is overlanding becoming a glorified excuse for more bolt-ons and less about travel today?

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:

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!”

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....

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.
