Can someone explain the trend of "overland" themed wraps I see on 5th gens?

Promoting/ branding or, to simply stand out in the crowd.
It's all good.

This is thread is too funny, but an unfortunate truth. Too many people trying to make their camping and wheeling their own brand.

Who knows maybe we are missing something like, brand it with a $20 LLC, and take tax write offs

Truth...open up your own company and make your runner your company vehicle and that would help too.

I'm going to wrap my 4th gen. If people ask, I'll say I overland...to the grocery store. Sometimes you gotta take a nap in the car after some intense shopping!

I want to be sponsored!

Yeah I don't know what the deal is... seems like half the 4Runners/Tacomas (2016/2017) I see these days in my area are "Sponsered" (i.e. large wraps and tons of stickers and such)

I know what you mean. I see those stickers, and I think, "how did that dufus get sponsored? I want to be sponsored!"

You mean like this guy? If you look at his first few videos he went & froze in his tent instead of starting a campfire. Who doesn't know how to start a campfire???!!!

He even sells his own swag.

I belong to a group of guys that wheel. We have a name & dont need stickers.
I've also been camping for 45 years & drive to my destinations. I dont say I'm "Overlanding"! LOL I guess everything needs a label now.
He must have money because he buys every expensive unnecessary gadget available. But whatever, he's having fun with his kids.

Luckily Irma had weakened a bunch before reaching Birmingham. We had some rain but it wasn't that bad. All is good!
