Expedition Style

So, John and the crew at Expedition Exchange have a very strong sense of style. When off-roading, there's only one way to roll: Their Way. They don't like large 4x4 campers. They hate trailers. Those are for white trash. Cool explorers only drive suave vehicles like Defenders and Discoveries, and only equiped with the finest kit available from Land Rover and approved by The Queen.

Nevermind that they never travel more than 145 miles from a McDonalds, and rarely for more than a few days at a time, a week at the most. Regardless, the correct way to carry gear is on the roof. To hell with the CG, or your axle weight ratings. Take the biggest, heaviest roof rack you can find, and load it with your gear. And don't forget: Always put your gear in a Pelican Case. It doesn't matter what it is, your clothes, a sleeping bag, or toilet paper, it's gotta be in a case. You see, even though they think they're keeping the CG reasonable by only putting "light" stuff up on the roof, they like to quadruple the weight by putting it in a heavy case to protect it from.... what? I'm not sure what kinda of impact could damage a towel, but damn it, put it in a case!

Yes, 20lbs of gear, safely packed in 220 pounds of fiber-reinforced plastic case and strapped into a 180lb roof rack. That's the way to travel! That's STYLE!

Does this remind you of something?
