None of the above. I go off road not primarily to go off roading, but to accomplish other tasks: fishing, hunting, camping, Christmas tree cutting, work, etc. My rigs are usually dirty, inside and out, but mechanically sound and prepared for trouble. Modest lifts, a winch, and just large enough tires and not much fluff. Always happy to help others in trouble, with trips never being documented for the world to see on the internets.

I’m like you, my 2013 2500 Silverado is my work, hunting, fishing, snowboarding, boat and camper hauling rig. It is tricked out with a full bumper grill guard, winch, over sized tires, head ache rack for hauling lumber, good off-road shocks and light bar and ditch lights. Tears it up in the mountains of SW Colorado. It can pull 15,000lbs all day.

yep I hear ya. Was thinking the same. Somewhere between the Jeeple and the overlanders. Pull the trailer out as a base camp for other exploring. Sometimes it's hunting, sometimes it's fishing and sometimes just hiking and exploring. Mostly stock because I'm not pushing hard enough to break it and that main reason for a Jeep is the removable top and foldable wind screen ( even though the JK windshield don't fold worth a crap) . Is also my daily driver for work. And looking for the easy route in because getting stuck just waste valuable time that could be better spent fish and or hunting.

This is really interesting... I'm definitely more of an extrovert, but I also definitely would be in the overlander category. I view my vehicle almost like a cross between a portable bed, a backpack, and a base camp.... I primarily get out to explore, and experience things that I can't really experience sitting at my office chair 5 days a week. 2003 Lexus GX470, so definitely a Toyota guy as well...

Love those hiluxs

at some point in my life, i have been 1 of each of these categories. Racer, mudder, crawler, overlander...... now im a jeeper.

Off road used to be about the experience, and still is in many way. I love talked about rigs and gears too, but there are times when we pulled up to a spot... All I wanted to is just enjoy the scenery and know my friends on a deeper level.

Excellent articulate funny anthropological and psychological analyses of jeepers! BTW, I’m a retired psychologist overlander.

I represent another class, the "urban 'wheeler". Not to be confused with "mall crawler". My primary use of the large tires and added ground clearance is to hop curbs to get out of slow drive-through lines, climb over medians to get around stuck traffic, or to drive across the shoulder to exit the highway prematurely when there's a jam. At least a couple times a week I do something in my rig that would not be possible, or would at least be risky, in a lower truck or car. The other distinction between an urban 'wheeler and a mall crawler is that the urban 'wheeler will go in the dirt and is not built for show. I've had my truck for more than two years now and it has never seen the inside of a car wash. The truck is my daily driver, my only vehicle. So I'm not interested in "testing" it on the trails. I don't camp, haven't been hunting in decades, no real reason to go "off road". But we get a lot of flooding here in the DFW so ground clearance is always good. In fact, my future plans revolve around improving its fording capabilities so I can help people in flooded neighborhoods.

none of the above. I’m a glamorous off roader that doesn’t like her car dirty but still enjoys the view and life.

This was actually hilarious (as well as highly informative)... Love the run on explanation of rock crawlers "drinking to deal with underlying issue of being broke, divorced, etc.

Ahhh yes…I think there are a good amount of 1-3 type people out there

What about the hunting rigs? built to be reliable, warm, smallish and stealthy. Get into a location with little fuss and reliably start after sitting in the woods for 12 hours.

For me I don't Jeep with others but would if I knew how to connect more with other Jeepers in my area..But primarily my Jeep is for work and goes off road every single day. I work in the world of dirt in oil and gas exploration. Secondly it is for hunting, fishing,camping. So I say I am an overland at heart .

I'm no rock crawler, U boat commander fording river and streams or Monster truck owner. I use my Jeep to get me to my favorite hunting, fishing or day trip adventures.

New Overlander here with a 4Runner. Screw you for nailing me on the head 😂

I go off road primarily for fishing or to remote lakes to kayak. These are just typical gravel or dirt forest roads though, nothing technical. But I am dipping my toes into overlanding and yes you are on point.....and introvert 🤣 I enjoy the solitude that comes with hiking and got the bug to combine that with overlanding.

Spot on- overlander

Im in the cruise cregslist, buy whatever 20+ year old 4x4, spend a few months building it out with the essentials, and then send it down whatever trail i can find.

I'm with Phil d, my 09 jku has 35s no lift winch. Help my buddies out but mostly trail ride with my wife and daughter. Got two other trucks and bought the jk over 3 yrs ago now, to be honest I was skeptical because I've only ever had cjs, but I wouldn't trade the ol gal for anything now

What you talking about Willis!! Zero "F's" is life LOL. Oh and my wife is just as addicted to her rock crawler as I am to mine. Probably the reason I am not divorced because she is my crawling buddy. We have a insane amount of money tied up in both Jeeps trailers and tow pig so no going back now!!

Definitely an Overlander, searching for remote local, with only the important things, my girl, my camera, my Toyota FJ

We build beach rigs, surf buggies, tricked out with surf rods, gear, coolers, kayaks, all the goodies to spend a couple days on a lonely stretch of beach. Not as exciting as racing, or rock bouncing, but fun all the same.

I would agree that overlanders are more in love with nature if they weren't all so reliant on equipment and being comfortable. Most of them don't even seem to want to sleep in a tent that isn't on top of their vehicle.

But my favorite group are the “Aussies”. They buy a brand new diesel Toyota Landcruiser, shopped in half, put a flatbed and build a self sustaining rig and go muddying, climbing and camping, not to mention their river crossings are very dangerous because of the crocs that can be hiding under the surface and the most venomous snakes around. This group are very good costumers because they even carry a bunch of spare parts in case they brake down in the middle of no where.

Haha jeeper when I’m not overlanding and exploring. 👊👍 spot on bro.

But I use my jeep for mostly off road 4low wash outs and hill climbs lots of rock and also long distance trail rides camping too. But I also need to to be able to hit the hwy all day if need be so it's a jack of all trades off roadet but not a serious crawler. Maybe weekend warrior? Mostly off road but has to do pavement.too

The kind that lifts a mini and brings it where it doesn't belong....

Scenery flying by at 70 mph plus, is life passing you by too quickly! Get in the right hand lane of life to live and fully enjoy it! Besides, it lets all the people stare at your rig time to enviously dream of what adventures you are heading out to do. Off-road people exemplify all things prepared, competent, helpful, search, rescue, first aid capable, that clean living and being in touch with your surroundings offers. It is fun to reach the destination, enjoy the ride there as well!

My exp with jeepers is that they are loyal to Jeep to the point where if you don't have a Jeep logo on your rig and maybe even you. Then you don't have an off roader. Jeep doesn't mean 4x4 off road vehicle, it means Chrysler/AMC product Jeep. The jeeper will explain how your jeep adjacent vehicle isn't a Jeep and you can't bring it to their party, Toyota drivers need not apply! They are the freemasons of the off road world. They know the secret and its solid front and rear axles, lockers, silly tires and a Jeep logo.

Hey, overlanders are just as quick to help someone on the trail and are much more social. Jeeps guys are a little snobbish. An overlander is the first person to wave at another rig, regardless of the manufacturer. and ya, the reliability of a Toyota……..

Nailed it. I’m about 10% of the way between Jeeper and Crawler. Just put hydro assist on last summer…. Just lacking long arms, LS swap, stickies…. Oh, and the ever important 100% dngaf….
