OUR History: A Legacy of Adventure

At its heart, EarthCruiser is a love story—of exploration, discovery, and a deep-rooted desire to go farther.

 

It all began with a lifetime of remote travel: navigating the Australian bush, racing through Europe and the Sahara in expedition rallies, tackling a month-long jungle challenge in Borneo, and exploring unmarked trails closer to home. That same spirit of adventure lives in every EarthCruiser we build.

Founders Lance and Michelle were born to explore. Each fell in love with travel at a young age—and later, with each other—on a deep jungle expedition. Lance brought decades of overlanding experience and technical expertise. Together, they built EarthCruiser on a foundation of unmatched quality, thoughtful design, and a lifetime of adventure.

That passion flows through our team and into every customer relationship. Because EarthCruiser isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a way of life. Crafted by experience. Powered by passion. Made for those who are called to roam.

A LEGACY OF ADVENTURE

At the end of the day, EarthCruiser is a love story. It’s a tale of a lifetime of adventures in the remote Australian bush; grueling competitive expedition rally’s through Europe into the Sahara and Africa; tackling a month-long Borneo jungle challenge along the equator; and back mountain driving and exploration in one’s own backyard. The very DNA of EarthCruiser engineering and purpose-built design stems from an active life lived answering the call to adventure as founders Lance and Michelle are born to do. Both fell in love with travel at a young age, and eventually with each other after meeting on a deep jungle expedition. Their experiences together, coupled with Lance’s decades of overlanding lifestyles experience and technical know how, have set the tone for the care and attention to detail that goes into every EarthCruiser off the lot. That love spills over to the company, the crew, and our appreciation for our customers.
