OVR is about getting out there in our vehicles to responsibly explore and discover the world around us. Whether we’re forging ahead into the backwoods or taking a well-known route on a favorite road trip, it’s all about getting out and enjoying the ride as well as the destination.

You’ll find OVR encapsulates everything you are into: Outdoors, Vehicles, Recreation, and so much more. If you enjoy living life on the trail and exploring the hidden corners of our natural world OVR is the publication for you.

Drive with us as we take deep dives into one-of-a-kind off-road-capable vehicles and anything else that gets us out there, for that matter. We are outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy spending time with friends and family in adventure-ready vehicles while immersed in our favorite outdoor activities.

Whether you overland for weeks at a time in far-flung locations or camp with the kids on the weekends, we have specially curated, vehicle-based outdoor activity content that you will find interesting, useful, and entertaining.
