They drove over 17,000 collective miles from 14 different states to experience the Arizona backcountry. They came in vehicles new and old wearing badges from Ford, Jeep, Toyota, Ram, Lexus, Land Rover, and Chevrolet and left the pavement in the rearview glass. They journeyed across more than 200 miles of dirt; camped in rooftop tents, truck beds, and trailers; and enjoyed both scenic vistas and regional history in the company of like-minded travelers. If you’re just joining us, this is the second half of Four Wheeler’s 2020 Overland Adventure.
One of a Kind Adventure
It all began with a call to adventure pushed out across Four Wheeler’s website and social media outlets. From the stacks of applications submitted through fourwheeler.com, we selected 20 overland rigs of various sizes, makes, and models to join us on our expedition. Each vehicle was required to have true four-wheel drive and bear unique sleeping accommodations, among other requirements. We crafted an adventure you likely would not experience by simply heading off into the backcountry on your own. Not only did our route traverse the awe-inspiring mountains, wend through narrow canyons, and explore the thick forests of central Arizona, the trip was led by a celebrated pillar of the off-road community

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING
I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
