Feature 20 PARTICIPANTS OF OVERLAND ADVENTURE

Vehicle: ’17 Mercedes Sprinter
About: “Overlanding takes me back
to my childhood roots when I would
hike and camp along the Appalachian
Trail. As I get older and free time be-

comes shorter, vehicle overland travel

allows me to see a lot of different

areas in a very short period of time,”

says Bart. The purpose-built Sprinter

has necessities such as Backwoods

Overlander Mods front and rear bum-

pers, a winch, Rigid LED lights/pods,

dual onboard air compressors, BFG

KO2s matched to 17-inch Method

Race wheels, a Safari snorkel system,

and a roof-mounted solar panel. You’ll

also find a fridge/freezer combo,

custom flooring and panels, toilet,

20-gallon onboard water system, and

MaxxAir roof vent.

OVERLANDERS

Bart Miller & JR Rowntree

Vehicle: ’08 Dodge

Ram 1500

About: Dan says, “I

retired my rock buggy

10 years ago after an

accident at the sand

dunes. It didn’t take

long for the moun-

tains and desert to

call me back.” The

Ram gets around

with heavier springs

and fabricated

upper control arms;

35-inch-tall rubber;

airbags; a Detroit

locker at the rear; a

solar panel; an ARB

rooftop tent, awning,

and fridge; and a bed

rack with under-tent

storage and lights.

There’s also a Warn

winch, an onboard

air system with tank,

a camp oven, LED

lighting, hot and cold

running water, and an

in-bed battery.
