Overlanding, Touring, or Safari? What’s Your Build Philosophy? | Where the Pavement Ends | Ep. 3

Welcome back to Where the Pavement Ends! 🚙🌍 In Episode 3, we dive deep into overland vehicle philosophies—the mindset and values that guide how we build, travel, and explore.

An overland rig isn’t just a truck or SUV—it’s a reflection of your lifestyle, priorities, and approach to adventure. From Toyota FJ Cruisers to Land Cruisers, Defenders, Patrols, and Tundras, every build tells a story. In this episode, we explore:

✅ Build with intention – how your needs and lifestyle shape your vehicle setup.
✅ Keep it simple – why less gear often means more freedom and reliability.
✅ The journey is the reward – why overlanding is about presence, resilience, and the process.

We share our own stories—from Hawaii beaches and East Coast trail clubs to jungle expeditions in Guatemala and safaris across Africa. Along the way, we unpack the differences between overlanding, touring, and safari bush camping, and how each philosophy shapes rigs, gear, and mindset.

Whether you’re new to overlanding or refining your own build, this conversation will help you ask the three most important questions before you start. Be sure to watch the video to find out.

Hosted by Vince Broady & Terrill Graham, this episode goes beyond gear lists and mods—it’s about the why behind the build.
