Harry Wagner

Harry Wagner is a lifelong off-road enthusiast, writer, and photographer based in Reno, Nevada. Raised in the Sierra Nevada foothills, he grew up four-wheeling in a family Land Cruiser and has since explored trails across the country and around the world, including multiple trips to Baja and the Dakar Rally.

With a background in mechanical engineering and a passion for adventure, Harry has built and wheeled a variety of vehicles—ranging from a 1948 Jeep CJ2A and a 2007 Ram 2500 to a 1977 Ford F-150 and several Toyotas. His projects showcase his hands-on knowledge and love for capable rigs, from vintage builds to modern overland machines.

Harry shares his experiences and expertise through his website, HarrySituations.com, where visitors can find published articles, build breakdowns, and off-road photography. His writing also appears in outlets like DrivingLine, covering everything from trail-tested gear and event coverage to tips for off-road travel.

Whether it’s crawling through Moab, chasing dust in Baja, or capturing action through a camera lens, Harry brings a deep, practical understanding of the off-road lifestyle. His work reflects a life spent outdoors, behind the wheel, and always in pursuit of the next adventure.
