2013 Overlanders of the Year: Coen and Karin-Marijke of Landcruising Adventure
If you have been following Expedition Portal’s front page in the last few months, you’ll be familiar with Coen and Karin-Marijke of Landcruising Adventure. On the road since 2003, they’ve driven their Toyota BJ45 Land Cruiser through Europe, Asia, and South America taking their time to fully experience the landscapes and cultures they visit. A decade may seem…
Expedition Reads: 20,000 Miles South
An every day couple and their dog drive from the Arctic Circle to Tierra Del Fuego in an amphibious Jeep. What could be more fun to read about than that?
La Aduana: Two Syncros to See
The Volkswagen van is undoubtedly an iconic automobile by just about any standard. The 60s bus model, while mainly associated with hippies, peace, and a rather questionable plant, helped people all over the world get out on the road and experience the joy of “motor-homing”. It was a cheaper and more practical RV that granted…
1997 Land Rover Discovery 200 Tdi
Holy Bright Rovers Batman! Is that a Discovery or a school bus!?
La Aduana: 1975 Volvo C303 Camper
If your significant other doesn’t like the idea of buying an old military truck, just tell them you’ve seen the light and are buying a Volvo. They’ll never suspect a thing.
1975 Land Rover 101 FC
Some people will tell you to buy the most reliable, most practical, and most fuel efficient vehicle you can. I heard a prius driver say that once. We’re Overlanders, live bold.
La Aduana: 1987 Lamborghini LM002
Come on, it’s a Lamborghini that ran the Dakar. You know you want it.
La Aduana: 2010 Toyota Tacoma
44″ Tires, nine ton winch, crushproof cabin, and two world records? Sounds like a good truck to me!
Gear Scout: Flexitank
Water. It is arguably the single most important item you can bring for your health and safety on a trip. It regulates your body temperature, lubricates your joints, and cleanses impurities from your system, yet for some reason it is often under-packed or overlooked when planning for an off-road excursion. The fact is that water…
VOTD – Camel Trophy 1993 – Sabah, Malaysia
Curious about what really goes into competing in a Camel Trophy Competition? Here’s how it happened in Sabah, Malaysia in 1993.
La Aduana: 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45
If you love classic Toyotas, this truck will probably make you green with envy. It’s a low mile rig that’s in such great shape we decided it deserved some time in the lime light…
Okay I’ll spare you from anymore bad puns; you get it, the truck is green… very green. But setting atrocious colors aside; this 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser is in fantastic shape. It’s a HJ45 Troop Carrier, which features a 6-cylinder diesel engine and a heck of a lot of cargo capacity in the rear. Unlike most of the “troopies” you see on the market today that came from Australia, this truck was sold in South America, which means you’ll be one of the few people with a left hand drive Troop Carrier.
La Aduana: 1968 Jeep Kaiser M-715
Although you can’t buy a Nukizer, you can buy one of the tough trucks it was based on
La Aduana: 1952 Dodge Power Wagon
So I will admit, it probably isn’t the best choice for an expedition vehicle, but this is a seriously tough, and not to mention cool truck. It’s a 1950s Dodge Power wagon that has been “maintained and updated but never restored” and is in overall fantastic shape. Powered by its original 236 cubic inch 6…

One of the most beautiful Toyota’s we’ve ever seen
Casner Mountain Trail: A Changing View
While no one likes a closed trail, a trip over Casner mountain gives me some perspective on the issue
La Aduana: 1985 Land Rover Defender 157
You may have a hard time believing this, but this monster was built by none other than Land Rover themselves
La Aduana: ELSORV Special Forces Prototype
Plenty of power for every day driving activities like passing slow drivers, cruising at highway speeds, ascending a hill, or ramming through an enemy blockade on the way to the grocery store
