I know what you’re thinking: Do I really need a 6WD vehicle? The answer is, of course, a resounding yes. Why? Bragging rights for a start, and while I’m sure there are plenty more reasons, I think I’ve made my point. The Pinzgauer, much like the Land Rover Forward Control and Volvo C306, is a…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave
Perfect overland rigs simply don’t exist, but if they did, they’d look like the Defender 130, the Toyota Troopy, or the Jeep Gladiator, all of which provide excellent 4WD capabilities and just enough payload and space to accommodate a lightweight camper setup. And with enough power and amenities for extended periods off-grid, they come pretty…
Overland Classifieds :: Expedition Overland’s 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series
Occasionally a rig is posted for sale on our forum that makes me a little weak at the knees, and today’s epic 200 Series Land Cruiser “Samson,” built by Expedition Overland, is just about as good as it gets. If you’re not familiar with the company’s work, then the best place to start is the…
Overland Classifieds :: 2000 Ford E-350 Sportsmobile RB Agile 4×4
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of 4×4 converted E-Series vans, and I’m not the only one. The E-350, in particular, is a very popular vehicle platform for overland builds, with recent offerings including this $86,000 2009 4×4 Full Conversion, an $82,000 1999 7.3-liter Diesel XLT, and a heavily modified $119,000 2008 Quad…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Ford Ranger XLT w/ Pop-top Camper
The Ford Ranger, much like the Toyota Tacoma, has a reputation for reliability, capability, and build quality and is subsequently a popular daily workhorse. Here in the UK, it’s the best-selling truck on the market, with Auto Express awarding the Ranger “Pick-up of the Year” in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. I’d still opt for…
Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Toyota 4Runner 4×4 SR5 Premium
The 4Runner is a popular overland platform, with recent expedition-equipped examples including this 2016 TRD Pro, a 2015 TRD Off-Road Camper, and a 2014 Trail Edition. So, what makes this model such a desirable option? Like the rest of Toyota’s 4WD lineup, you can expect bulletproof reliability, excellent go-anywhere capability, class-leading build quality, and access…
BMW Invites You to Attend a Rally, Ride a New BMW
BMW Motorrad invites you to test ride their newest motorcycles at two separate rallies this summer. This is an opportunity to consider an upgrade to your current GS model, or ride your very first one. Sketch out a backroads route to either rally and hit the road. Start your BMW motorcycle test rides at the…
Overland Classifieds :: 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series Camper
I recently spent some time exploring Northern Italy in a 100 Series, and it completely blew me away. A friend of mine owns a garage in the Dolomites at 4,468 feet, and he uses the Land Cruiser as his daily to trailer other vehicles up and down the steep mountain switchbacks. It’s the ultimate proving…
Overland Classifieds :: Volkswagen Syncro Double Cab 16-inch
A few months back, rumors began circulating that a very special 16-inch Doka Syncro would soon be up for sale. I’d followed this build online, so I realized this would be an opportunity for a lucky buyer to purchase one of the nicest Syncros in existence. There are many individuals and companies that advertise “fully…
Overland Classifieds :: 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ80L
A couple of years back, Matt Scott wrote an article on “Why The Land Cruiser 80 Series Is The Next Classic 4WD,” and his predictions couldn’t have been more on the money. The prices of these appreciating classics have gone from strength to strength, even in the face of extortionate gas prices, with recent examples…
Overland Classifieds :: 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon Overland Build
The Power Wagon is one of the few full-size trucks built from the factory to perform optimally when the tarmac ends and is, therefore, a popular vehicle platform for overland travel. Over the past few months, we’ve featured a number of expedition-ready examples, including this 2014 w/ Four Wheel Camper Hawk, a 2017 w/ EarthCruiser…
Overland Classifieds :: 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 300Tdi Pop Top Camper
The Land Rover Defender is perhaps the most definitive overland vehicle, with events like the Camel Trophy cementing its legacy as a 4WD icon. The Defender is not particularly refined or comfortable, and it certainly won’t win any races, but none of that matters. This is a vehicle built for purpose, and when it comes…
Overland Classifieds :: 2016 Jeep Wrangler JKUR Rocklander
The Jeep Wrangler is a popular overland platform, with recent AEV (American Expedition Vehicle) equipped examples, including a 2013 AEV Rubicon Unlimited, 2014 AEV Build w/ Overland Extras, and a 2014 JKU w/ a Plethora of AEV Components on our forum. What makes this 4WD vehicle so popular? The Wrangler is favored for its rugged…
Overland Classifieds :: 2018 EarthCruiser EXP
EarthCruiser’s overland rigs are highly regarded, albeit exclusive, with recent examples including a 2015 EarthCruiser FX, EarthCruiser #64, and a 2019 EarthCruiser FX. EarthCruiser isn’t the only upmarket expedition vehicle builder on the scene, with even more luxurious options from EarthRoamer and Global Expedition Vehicles. I prefer EarthCruiser builds because while the offerings from their…
Overland Classifieds :: Mitsubishi Delica L300 4WD Manual
I’m not particularly sentimental, and when it comes to selling my things, I usually don’t think twice. However, I regretted the sale of my Mitsubishi L300 4×4 almost every day, and it continues to be one of my favorite compact overlanders. This capable Mitusbihsi van is a popular choice on the forum, with examples including…
Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Ford Transit 4×4 Campervan
If you’re looking for a 4WD or truck suitable for overlanding, you’re spoilt for choice. However, it’s a very different story if you require a go-anywhere van. Sure, there are 4WD options available, but many of these are technically AWD, and all-terrain capability is adequate at best. It’s no surprise that companies such as Quadvan…
Overland Classifieds :: 2002 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road w/ Flatbed
Summer is in full swing, which means the price of overland vehicles has inevitably skyrocketed, and reasonably priced rigs are hard to find. The Toyota Tacoma is by far the most popular truck on our forum, with used examples often demanding near-new prices. Over the past few weeks, we’ve featured several overland-ready Tacomas, including this…
Overland Classifieds :: 2020 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison Diesel
Much like the Ford Raptor or AEV Brute, the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison is not your average truck but a premium, uprated, off-road-focused vehicle designed to tackle the toughest terrain. While the Bison is not an inexpensive truck per se (current models are priced at $54,000, including optional extras), it is a significant saving over…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Ford Raptor 802A
The Ford Raptor’s exhilarating on-road performance, combined with trophy truck-esque all-terrain capability, is a winning formula. Thanks to the company’s intelligent EcoBoost technology, customers enjoy blistering performance while achieving up to 18 mpg. That’s impressive fuel economy for a full-size truck capable of accelerating to 62 mph in just 5.1 seconds. At this point, you’re…
Overland Classifieds :: 2022 Ram 2500 w/CampX Overland Camper
The Ram 2500 is a great truck that’s well-suited to overland builds, especially with the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine. It is, therefore, no surprise that the Ram 2500 is such a popular choice on the forum, with recent examples including this 2017 w/ BunduTecUSA Flatbed Camper, a 2021 6.4 Hemi w/ FWC Woolrich, and a…
