Overland Projects started back in 2011 with the rebuilding my first Range Rover Classic. I didn’t just want to restore an old vehicle though, I wanted to re-tell its story. A story made for something more than solely transportation. In my running days, I believed a pair of running shoes should be more than just functional; they should inspire you, they should excite you to believe something bigger about why I was running. The things we curate our lives with tell a story about us. If its possible, these things should should add value beyond just some utility.
But you do have to look at this honestly. Everyone knows that a new car is list of things that a vintage car isn't… What a vintage vehicle can be is so much more though... Today there are so many additions and improvements that can be made to a vintage car that there is now no excuse not to seriously consider one for a daily driver. With a car “off the lot” you're giving up an opportunity to drive something with story; something that inspires you to do more than just a car will do. These aren't just “people movers” they are source of enjoyment… statements about us...an inspiration point in your life that gets you out of any routine you’re in and on the trails to that next camping trip or even just to your next meeting with extra confidence.

2000 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY II
2000 Land Rover Discovery II. When I built this Discovery I set out to do something that I haven't seen before. I loved the look of the white top 4x4s you'd see in the 60's and 70's and the throw back up the white steelies in that same era and wanted to try for a throw back version in a Discovery. I have been wanting to do something in Land Rover's Arles Blue for a long time and knew this would be incredible on a Disco.
The body is Arles Blue with a ceramic coat. The steel wheels and Iconic Discovery roof is done in an Porsche Arctic White. The front winch bumper is from Atlantic British, the rear is from Tactical Rover. Both are powder coated in a charcoal grey. The rear bumper has a swing arm with a full size spare, and room for two spare tanks. The winch is a 10,000LB Warn winch, set into the front grill. The grill was custom cut for that set in look. The Engine was replaced with a chipped Bosch 4.6L V8 with the 4 speed automatic ZF transmission. It sits on BFG All Terrain with a Terra-Firma 2" lift. I removed the fender plastic for a back dated look. The roof-rack and latter were custom from Voyager Racks.
The interior is sheeted with sound dampening throughout the entire vehicle (floor roof, doors) with an additional heat shield. The audio system is a Steg system with multiple amplifiers and a subwoofer hidden in the rear. This Disco has a reverse cam and front approach cam. The carpet is a tan rolled German weave, with tan Italian leather seats and Pendleton Sunbrella inserts. (Leather and Carpet supplied by Relicate.)
