Perth, Australia - 1st February 2025 - Garage Therapy, a leader in precision engineering for off-road and overland vehicles, proudly announces the acquisition of Roamerdrive, the globally recognized overdrive solution for Land Rover Series and Defender models. This acquisition marks a significant step in preserving the Roamerdrive legacy while expanding its product line to serve a broader range of enthusiasts and adventurers.
A Legacy Built on Innovation and Adventure
For decades, Roamerdrive has been the gold standard for Land Rover owners seeking improved fuel efficiency, reduced engine wear, and a smoother, quieter ride. Originally developed by Ray Wood, an engineer and lifelong Land Rover enthusiast, Roamerdrive revolutionized overdrive technology with planetary gear engineering, offering a more durable and reliable alternative to traditional systems.
Ray’s vision was born out of real-world necessity—his own adventures spanning four continents highlighted the need for a better long-distance driving solution. His creation became the preferred upgrade for thousands of Land Rover drivers worldwide.
With Garage Therapy now at the helm, the Roamerdrive brand will continue to thrive, ensuring that Ray’s legacy remains at the core of every product.
What This Means for Land Rover Enthusiasts
With this acquisition, Garage Therapy is committed to upholding the quality and innovation that Roamerdrive is known for, while also introducing new advancements to meet evolving customer needs.
Key commitments moving forward:
-
Ongoing Production – Roamerdrive overdrives will continue to be manufactured with the same high-quality engineering that Land Rover enthusiasts trust. Existing Roamerdrive units manufactured in BC, Canada will continue to be available for purchase until stock is replenished from the Garage Therapy manufacturing facility in Australia.
-
New Product Expansion – Garage Therapy has expanded the Roamerdrive range to include an overdrive for the LT95 gearbox, providing enhanced performance for V8-powered Land Rover models, including the Range Rover Classic, Perentie, and 101 Forward Control. This addition ensures that even more Land Rover enthusiasts can experience smoother, quieter, and more fuel-efficient driving across a wider range of vehicles.
-
Global Support & Availability – Garage Therapy will continue to provide customer support, servicing, and worldwide distribution to keep Roamerdrive available for Land Rover owners across the globe.
A Shared Commitment to Adventure & Performance
“Roamerdrive has been a game-changer for Land Rover drivers looking to push their vehicles further,” said Brad Miocevich, Founder of Garage Therapy. “We’re honored to take on this iconic product, ensuring it remains accessible, reliable, and built for adventure. Ray Wood’s innovation set the standard, and we’re excited to expand upon that legacy.”
As part of the transition, a tribute page dedicated to Roamerdrive’s history and Ray’s adventures has been created on the Garage Therapy website. This will celebrate the journey that led to the invention of Roamerdrive and how it continues to transform Land Rover ownership today.
