Since its debut last year, the showcase draws a unique crowd looking to explore life outside the urban jungle with their vehicles.

This is the first year, Overlanders have spent the night on the Chicago Auto Show floor.

Although this year's display features specialty vehicles, off-road accessories and much more, those enjoying the lifestyle say overlanding is about so much more.

On Sunday, doors to the Chicago Auto Show open at 10 a.m.

The last day to attend the show is Monday.
