On April 30, Land Rover will be celebrating a huge milestone in their company history: its 70th anniversary. While most manufacturers would choose to throw a big party or rip around a racetrack, this British icon has opted to commemorate the occasion a little differently. They decided to drop world-renowned artist Simon Beck off at…
Video of the Week: First 4×4 Crossing of Greenland Ice Cap
Let’s take a moment to travel back to the turn of the millennium. It was 1999, a gallon of gas was $1.22, Napster had just been released, Britney Spears was on the top 100, Bill Clinton was on trial for impeachment, and half of the world was in a panic that the Y2k computer glitch…
Video of the Week: Undisturbed Norway
Do you ever stare at a landscape and think, “I could watch this all day.” We certainly have, but sadly, on most occasions, there just isn’t enough time to stand around and watch the clouds float by. There are places to be, things to do, and schedules to keep, which is why this week’s video…

Video of the Week: Overland Norway
When you think of exploring the misty hills and lush valleys of Norway, I’d be willing to wager that a Land Rover Defender comes to mind. It certainly did for me, but this group of friends did things a little differently. They chose to make the trip in two Jeep XJs, equipped with diesel motors…
Video of the Week: Colossal 2017
Last week we posted an article following the adventures of a few friends through Canada’s stunning backcountry. (You can read it here.) The trucks, trails, and photography reeled us in, and the landscape can only be described as epic, but it left us wanting to see more. Well, it looks like our wish was granted, as…
Video of the Week: Two If Overland
We’ve been following Two If Overland on Instagram for some time, and these two have given us serious overland envy. Not only are they constantly traveling to new and exciting places, and pursuing their hobbies of biking, hiking, and paddle boarding when they get there, but they also have one of the coolest expedition trucks…
