John and Vivian have owned this beastly Land Rover Discovery for several years now. They've really made it their own by outfitting it with some of the coolest overlanding accessories and products available. On 35" tires with 6" suspension lift and a hard shell roof rack mounted tent this is the ultimate off-road adventure vehicle. Goal Zero Yeti they use: https://amzn.to/3BEXJ36 if it's out stock look at the Yeti 500X https://amzn.to/3mJjB9a
