Overland Classifieds :: 1982 Vanagon Westfalia

Love or hate them, there’s simply no denying the popularity of classic Volkswagen campers. The Bus (or T2) has always been a symbol of freedom and wanderlust, but it has been somewhat eclipsed in recent years by its successor, the Vanagon (T3). The latter carried forward much of its predecessor’s charm but introduced superior reliability…

Destination :: M. & M. Garage, Malosco, Italy

It’s always intimidating traveling overseas in your vehicle, especially when you’ve taken a 2.5 year hiatus (thanks, Covid), and you drive a notoriously temperamental Vanagon Syncro. Nevertheless, I felt confident in my vehicle after a recent mechanical overhaul and was beyond excited to be headed to Northern Italy, specifically the Dolomites. The van drove impeccably…

Overland Classifieds :: 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser Overland Build

The Toyota Land Cruiser is the definitive overland vehicle by which all alternatives are measured. A bold statement, but as the years have passed, I’ve only become more certain of this. I’m currently exploring Italy’s Dolomites, where my Vanagon Syncro has struggled daily with the colossal inclines and terrifying descents. Thus far, I’ve endured severe…

Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Lexus GX470 Sport

Excellent all-terrain performance matched with bulletproof reliability and class-leading interior comfort are just some of the reasons the Lexus GX470 is a great option for vehicle travel. I admit it’s not the first rig that comes to mind when we think of overlanding, but that makes it all the more interesting. Lexus is perhaps best…

Overland Classifieds :: 2016 Ford F-550 Custom Overlander

Luxury overland vehicles have become increasingly popular during the pandemic as more people travel closer to home. Subsequently, this has led to long wait times for new builds and inflated prices for used examples.

Overland Classifieds :: 2015 Lexus GX460 Overland Build

It’s fair to say that for many of us, overlanding conjures romanticized ideas of navigating gravel switchbacks, through jaw-dropping scenery, in a cool rig. However, these visions tend to omit the long highway miles, traffic jams, busy cities, narrow streets, potholes, and other harsh realities of vehicle travel in this modern age. Sure, an old…
