Overland Classifieds :: 1993 Mercedes Puch 230GE High Roof Camper

The classic G-Wagen, like the Land Rover Defender and Toyota Land Cruiser, is widely considered an overlanding icon. It is one of the 4WDs by which all others are measured and remains one of the best options for round-the-world travel. Even though they aren’t as numerous as Defenders and Land Cruisers, it’s no surprise that…

Destination :: Neist Point Lighthouse, Isle of Skye, Scotland

As an avid traveler, I’m fortunate to visit many beautiful locations, but with a world to see it takes a decidedly special destination to bring me back more than once. I have visited Neist Point Lighthouse at least five times and it never disappoints. Neist Point is located on the most westerly tip of Skye…

Overland News of the Week

Wolf Tooth Components B-RAD System Over the last 10 years, bikepacking has grown in popularity exponentially and this has generated a huge array of purpose-built bikes, parts, and accessories. In fact, there has been so much innovation over the past decade that it’s hard to believe the industry can produce something original. Wolf Tooth has…

Overland Classifieds :: 2020 Ford F-350 XLT Power Stroke Diesel

Full-size trucks have never been so popular, with more overlanders embracing the additional running costs in exchange for more comfort, payload, performance, towing capacity, and often capability. Scott Brady and Matt Scott recently explored this topic at length on the Overland Journal Podcast, Why Full-Size Trucks Should be Seriously Considered for Overlanding. Among full-size rigs,…

Overland Classifieds :: 2015 Ford F-150 XLT – SOLD

Ford has arguably been at the forefront of the Full-Size Revolution, as it demonstrated that you could have all the benefits of a larger truck without the drawbacks. In the past, these larger vehicles returned abysmal fuel economy and cost a fortune to run, but thanks to new technology (like Ford’s EcoBoost engines), this is…

Overland Classifieds :: 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ77

Classic Land Cruisers with super low miles don’t come up for sale often, especially in this condition. Today’s exceptionally clean 1997 example has covered just 83,000 miles from new and originally belonged to the Japanese government (so you can rest assured it’s been well looked after). The Land Cruiser is arguably the greatest overland platform…

Overland Classifieds :: 1993 Land Cruiser Troop Carrier

The Toyota Land Cruiser 78, known as the Troop Carrier (or “Troopy”), is arguably one of the greatest overland platforms in existence—and my personal favorite. This legendary vehicle combines the Land Cruiser’s fabled reliability and capability with an extended wheelbase that provides just enough space for a comfortable camper interior (especially when combined with a…

Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Mercedes Sprinter Whitefeather 4×4 Conversion

I have a confession. Occasionally I’ll spend an evening perusing Mercedes Sprinter 4x4s online—please forgive me. I’m sure the VW Syncro community and “One Less Sprinter” movement (yes, that’s a real thing) won’t approve, but many of these individuals don’t live in their 36-year-old vehicle year-round. The reality is that these rigs are pretty damn…

Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road

The Tacoma is, without doubt, the most popular mid-size truck on our forum and one of the most desirable and highly regarded in the US (and beyond). We’ve recently featured adventure-ready examples that include this 2011 TRD Sport w/ FWC Fleet, a 2017 TRD Off-Road w/ Vagabond Drifter, and a 2005 TRD Sport w/ A/T…

Overland Classifieds :: 2007 Ford E-350 Super Duty Quigley 4×4

The E-350, alongside the Mercedes Sprinter 4×4, is one of the most popular vans on our forum. We’ve featured many adventure-ready offerings recently including this 2010 MG 4×4, a 2000 Power Stroke Diesel Hightop, and a beautiful 2000 Sportsmobile RB Agile 4×4. So, what makes the E-350 so desirable? First and foremost, it was produced…

Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Ram 3500

The Ram 3500 is a popular option for heavier overland builds with recent examples including this 2021 w/ Aluma Tray and OEV Camper, a 2007 Laramie w/ V1 XP Camper, and a 2005 w/ 2016 FWC Hawk Flatbed. Full-size trucks have never been so popular as detailed in Scott Brady’s Expedition Portal article, Full-size Revolution,…

Overland Classifieds :: 2006 Lexus GX470

Lexus’ 4WD line-up combines class-leading go-anywhere performance with plush interior luxury and legendary reliability. The GX470 is no exception, which is why it’s a popular platform for expedition builds. We’ve featured a number of these stunning rigs, with examples that include “Lexy” the GX470, a 2005 Sport, and this awesome build from Adventure Motors. It’s…

Outdoor Adventure X Festival

During the pandemic, air travel came to a grinding halt and more people than ever turned to overlanding and camping as an escape. Despite restrictions gradually being lifted, this trend shows no signs of slowing down and has spawned some exciting new events. One such example is the Outdoor Adventure X festival, which will debut…

Overland Classifieds :: 2010 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition

You can’t go far wrong with a used Toyota 4WD, whether that’s a Hilux, Tacoma, Sequoia, Tundra, Land Cruiser, and, indeed, a 4Runner. Over the years I’ve had conversations with hundreds of travelers in a wide array of vehicles and one key trend is that those who drive Toyotas generally enjoy more experiences. In other…

Overland Classifieds :: 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 w/ Alu-Cab Alu-Cabin

GMC is clearly invested in the overlanding revolution with an exciting line-up of vehicles that appeals to their customer’s growing desire to leave the tarmac. These include the rugged Canyon AT4x and the AEV-upfitted Sierra AT4x and ZR2 Silverado. The Sierra AT4 has undoubtedly won over the team here at Expedition Portal with gleaming reviews…

Overland Classifieds :: 2012 Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4×4

The Fuso 4×4 was the vehicle of choice for EarthCruiser for many years and is widely considered a proven platform for round-the-world exploration. If you’d like a better idea of this truck’s capability then check out Scott Brady field testing the EarthCruiser EXP on the Expedition Portal YouTube channel. Alternatively, read my feature piece on…

Overland Classifieds :: 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser

Let’s be honest, the FJ Cruiser isn’t the first Toyota 4WD that comes to mind when we think about long-term vehicle travel, but it might be one of the coolest. I have a real soft spot for these trucks, and would argue that they’ve aged like a fine wine. Despite being two decades old the…

Overland Classifieds :: 2015 Mercedes Sprinter 4×4

Love or hate it the Sprinter is one of the most popular platforms for vehicle travel. It rose to fame as a figurehead of the vanlife movement, but in more recent years the 4WD variant has become increasingly synonymous with overlanding. The growing catalog of aftermarket parts for the 4WD is a big contributing factor…
