Vehicle: ’12 Jeep Wrangler
Unlimited Rubicon
About: “There are tracks I haven’t
driven, sunsets I haven’t seen, and
campfire stories I haven’t heard.”
Aside from the sheer poetry of

Adrian’s reason for overlanding, it’s a

pretty potent argument for how once

overlanding is in your blood, it stays

in your blood. The Jeep has been

equipped with a 3^1 ⁄ 2 -inch AEV Dual-

Sport suspension; items from TeraFlex

that include a heavy-duty tie rod, track

bar, and big-rotor kit; RCV front CV

axleshafts; Ten Factory rear axleshafts;

Tom Wood’s driveshafts; 37-inch

Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs wrapped

around AEV wheels; an ARB rear

bumper; a twin onboard air system;

an aftermarket front diff cover; a Warn

winch; a Rugged Ridge stubby front

bumper; and a Riddler rear diff cover.

Up top is an Ursa Minor J30 rooftop

tent with a topo map of New Mexico.

lifted 3^1 ⁄ 2 inches and has heavy-duty

ram-assist steering, a stroked 347ci

V-8 with FiTech fuel injection, a

custom roof rack with off-road lights,

and a six-point rollcage. There are

The ’06 Fleetwood Element camper

has been modified for going off-road,

and there’s also an articulating

charger. Those tires and wheels

match the Bronco’s.
