About

This May we embark on the Southern Cross Xpedition, an unforgettable adventure that promises to push both vintage off-road trucks and their drivers to the limit across the breathtaking backcountry discovery routes of New Mexico and Arizona. Originally conceived by Michael Ladden to return his 1965 Land Rover to adventure that it has not undertaken since completing a Trans Africa Expedition in 2001. He teamed up with Peter Vollers of Vermont Overland fame and now an active overland enthusiast in the Southwestern US who designed the route and logistics for this new adventure. The journey invites participants and their eight vintage vehicles to navigate rugged terrains, stunning vistas, and hidden gems, fostering camaraderie and resilience among fellow adventurers. Each mile offers the chance to reconnect with nature while experiencing the nostalgia of classic vehicles tackling challenging landscapes. Follow us online for an exhilarating expedition filled with exploration, teamwork, and memories that will last a lifetime!

Come see us at Overland Expo West in Flagstaff AZ May 16-18. We are located on the main quad area in our own Southern Cross Xpedition vintage Showcase. (see map below)

Join the crew at 3pm Saturday May 17 at the Roundtable Pavilion for a Q&A session on the trucks & trip.
