Whether you’re into offroading, Overlanding (or both), one thing is for sure – you need a vehicle that can match your sense of adventure. However, finding a 4×4 that meets your expectations may be easier said than done. At Classic Overland, we custom-make off-road expedition vehicles to suit your outdoor preferences -whether it be Overlanding or offroading. In fact, our Defenders not only look good, but they ride like a dream getting you to go where no man has gone before – in style, no less! So, without mucking about any longer, here’s why Overlanding and offroad expedition vehicles are the perfect match.
Affordable Defenders that are as tough as nails
If you’re new to Overlanding or offroading, you may have discovered that while Overlanding is easy on the eye, it’s not as easy on the pocket. While our Defenders are not straight out of the box, they’re still pretty neat. Affordable too. And just as easy to get your hands on.
Defenders have long been known as tougher than tough offroad expedition vehicles, with an undisputed reputation when it comes to offroading—and doing it in style. What is it about these historic vehicles that make it tough as nails? For one, the Defender is built with simplicity in mind. Despite its design and build having evolved over the years, its functionality remains the same – to deliver an incomparable 4×4 riding experience for anyone with a thirst for the great outdoors. Moreover, a V8 engine, bigger suspension, higher ground clearance, and four-wheel drive make driving over dips, bumps, and hills a pleasure!
Perfect for Overlanding AND offroading
For outdoor enthusiasts, Overlanding and offroading can mean one and the same thing, depending on who you ask. And, yes, these two styles of 4x4ing can certainly overlap. Yet, they are also somewhat different too.
For instance, Overlanding is about seeking out adventure in untouched landscapes. It’s the art of getting lost and finding your way back again, having had the experience of a lifetime. It’s about setting up camp underneath the stars when a bejeweled night sky is too spectacular to drive by, for example.
Or setting up camp with the family in the wilderness to take advantage of the serenity around you. Our beloved Rhino edition, for example, is the stuff Overlanding adventures are made of. And has all the Overlanding essentials you need to make the experience all the more memorable.
Off-roading, on the other hand, is about traversing ground where others dare to go. This often means tackling terrain that is more challenging than not. And is where extreme traveling gets its name. It could involve an impromptu trip to the coastline on hot summer days, for instance, or bogging through mud on wet and windy days on others, for example.
The right Defender will not only complement but enhance the experience, which is why choosing the right one is an absolute necessity. Take our Klipspringer edition, for instance. This Bugout is the perfect 4×4 to take you the distance while pushing the limits.
Overlanding – why you’ve got to try it
If you’ve never experienced the joy of Overlanding in a Defender, you’re missing out. Overlanding is gaining more and more popularity for thrill-seekers looking for their next adrenaline rush. Moreover, there’s something special and truly indescribable about leaving the rat race and getting out and into the open air. And the beauty of it all is that you literally get to choose your own adventure. Keen on going on a self-drive safari in Africa? Or looking for adventures closer to home? Going there in a Defender is the only way to go!
Look cool in a Defender
Whether it’s offroading or Overlanding that’s got your attention, you’ll need a fierce-looking Defender to do the job. But you can still look cool while you’re at it.
