Chris, from Frontier State Overland, and I compare the newly released Ford Bronco Raptor to the Jeep 392 Wrangler as overlanding vehicles. There is still a lot to learn about the new Bronco Raptor, but from what we've seen so far, it's going to give Jeep a run for its money as the best stock off-road SUV. We have a lot of fun digging into these two rigs and comparing where each manufacturer invested their time and attention, and we then related it to what it means for those of use who are overlanding. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/venture2roam/support

Chris (Frontier State Overland) and Will talk about their new Roof Top Tent purchases. Chris went from a ground tent to a hardshell hybrid OVS Bushveld tent, and Will went from a Smittybilt Overlander XL softshell roof top tent to a Desert Armor Tank XL, which has a aluminum shell.

Will and Chris (Frontier State Overland) discuss what makes us so loyal to car manufacturers...why that's a good thing, and why it can turn bad when these Brand Tribes start arguing on who's rig is the best. This is a really interesting topic as there are so many different tribes out there that all hold very emotional connections to their rigs. Join us we navigate this topic and try to figure out the deeper connection we feel to our rigs as Overlanders. The folks over at Wheeled Lyfe, sent us a hat and sweatshirt.
