It seemed fitting to feature a Tacoma as I embark on another 8-month international trip in my decrepit 1986 Volkswagen T3 Syncro. I’ve often made the point that the best overland vehicles are those that you can count on to provide the maximum experience. In other words, a rig like mine is charismatic but costs…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD Off-Road with A/T Overland Atlas
If gas prices weren’t $2.29 per liter here in Europe then the 5.7-liter V8 Tundra would be my full-size truck of choice. At the end of the day, it’s a Toyota, which means it’ll just work, and while it might not be the most frugal, well-equipped, or powerful option it makes up for this with…

Overland Classifieds :: 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
I’ve been somewhat obsessed with the Jeep Wrangler ever since I discovered the adventures of Dan Grec.

Bikepacking with Young Children :: An interview with 4Overlanders
Social norms often make alternative lifestyles seem reckless and irresponsible. A great example is that you’ll need to step back from adventures once you have kids. I’d go so far as to say that society may even make you feel guilty for attempting to retain your past life and that by doing so, you’re somehow…

I’ve become somewhat obsessed with micro-campers after being inspired by several builds, including this 2013 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited with Ursa Minor pop-top system.
