About Us: Overland 4×4-Shop-McAllen

Our Journey Begins (2010)

Overland 4×4-Shop-McAllen was founded in 2010 with a vision to become the premier online resource for overland enthusiasts and 4×4 vehicle owners. We recognized a growing need for reliable, unbiased information on the latest gear, techniques, and adventures related to off-road exploration. Our journey started as a small but passionate team dedicated to creating a community that celebrates the spirit of overland travel.

  • 2017: Expansion of our team led to the development of an extensive gear review section, covering everything from tires to navigation systems.
  • 2019: Celebrating a decade of empowering overland adventurers with knowledge and support.
  • 2022: Reimagining our platform as a comprehensive guide for all things 4×4, we introduced video tutorials and live webinars.

Our Purpose and Core Values:

At Overland 4×4-Shop-McAllen, we strive to:
