Did you say $120,000 for a 2017 Ford Transit?! Admittedly, that’s an outrageous amount of money for a stock van, but read the specs, and suddenly the price starts to make sense. This isn’t the first overland-ready Transit I’ve featured to our classifieds, with recent offerings including this similar $80,000 2017 Transit Quigley 4×4 and…
Overland Classifieds :: 2020 Ram 3500 Norweld Touring Setup
Here in the UK and wider Europe, it’s unusual to see Ram trucks, and I assume that’s due to their big motors and subsequent running costs. At £1.49 ($2) per liter for diesel, a 6.7-liter Cummins is simply not a viable option. Running costs aside, I think Ram makes some of the best-looking, well-equipped, and capable…
Overland Classifieds :: Overland-ready 2005 Toyota Sequoia
During the pandemic, overlanding has exploded in popularity, and subsequently, used vehicles are selling at a premium. Traditionally, vehicle travel has been a cost-effective way to see the world, so it can be frustrating as a prospective buyer watching rigs sell for hugely inflated prices. However, there are still deals to be had, and this…
Overland Classifieds :: 2013 Ram 2500 Cummins Manual with Norweld Flatbed and Woolrich Hawk
I’ve featured several super-cool Ram trucks recently, including this monster 2018 Prospector and 2020 3500 Laramie. Additionally, you can follow Senior Editor Matt Swartz’s build series as he sets out to create the ultimate overland-ready Ram 2500 (he just posted a great write-up on the Expedition One Range Max Ultra HD Steel Bumper). This 2013…
Destination: Isle of Skye
I’ve been fortunate enough to visit many beautiful destinations around the world, but something always draws me back to Scotland, and more specifically, the magical Isle of Skye. At 639 square miles, this rugged island is the largest in the Inner Hebrides and showcases some of the country’s most dramatic landscapes. Moreover, it is of…
Overland Classifieds :: 2012 Adrenalin Industries Expedition Truck
There are a few key companies producing ultra-expensive overland rigs; those that come to mind include EarthCruiser, Global Expedition Vehicles, and EarthRoamer. However, premium trucks from lesser-known companies are occasionally listed on our forum— examples include this $468,000 1997 Stewart and Stevenson Class A RV and a $290,000 Mercedes-Benz Vario 814D 4×4. It’s always refreshing…
Nitto Tire announces new All-Terrain Crossover and Compact SUV Tire
In the past, overlanders and 4WD enthusiasts had to choose from a relatively small selection of proven A/T tires, but in recent years overlanding has exploded in popularity, and so too has the selection of tires to choose from. Nitto has been at the forefront of this tire revolution and is clearly on a mission…
Overland Classifieds :: 2008 Ford F-450 Camper
I’m not sure what’s more impressive, this beautifully designed overland-ready F-450 or the stunning photography accompanying the listing. This 2008 Super Duty has covered just 110,000 miles, incorporates several premium overlanding modifications, and features an insulated aluminum framed camper that weighs under 1,000 pounds. However, perhaps the most notable inclusion is the beautiful wooden rear…
Overland Classifieds :: 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro 4X
The Nissan Xterra isn’t the first vehicle that comes to mind when we think about overlanding rigs, but that’s part of the charm. I’ve always liked the Xterra’s rugged looks, but I have to say that the premium Pro 4X package looks absolutely fantastic. With the optional off-road lights, roof rack, 16-inch uprated alloy wheels,…
Overland Classifieds :: 1997 Ford E-350 Quigley 4×4 Ambulance
Ex-ambulances are a popular choice for camper conversions as they offer more living space than a standard van while being more cost-effective than buying an actual motorhome or investing in a custom habitation box. E-350 ambulances are regularly listed on the forum (see this recent 2000 model), but it’s more unusual to find one that…
Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser
This stunning 2005 Cruiser has covered just 93,000 miles and was professionally outfitted for overland travel by industry experts Slee Offroad. The current owner went to the company in 2011 for a “no-expense-spared” build-out, which included many specialist parts and accessories designed to enhance the vehicle’s already impressive go-anywhere credentials. Furthermore, this Land Cruiser has…
Overland Classifieds :: 2004 Mercedes Sprinter T1N Conversion, “The Tank”
The Mercedes Sprinter is one of the most popular live-in vehicles on the market. Dependable engines, availability of parts, various body configurations, and a vast array of aftermarket parts and accessories are just some of the benefits. I frequently look at 4×4 Sprinters whenever my 1986 Syncro is being particularly problematic because they’re a relatively…
Overland Classifieds :: 2015 EarthCruiser FX
We’ve listed a number of EarthCruisers to our classifieds, including this $334,900 EarthCruiser #64 and a $314,000 2019 EarthCruiser FX. However, today’s example, at “just” $219,000, is comparatively fantastic value, yet has covered a mere 31,518 miles, is fitted with the desirable 3-liter turbo diesel engine and Duonic transmission, and has been meticulously serviced and…
Overland Classifieds :: 2018 Ram 2500 Diesel Prospector XL build w/ AT Overland Atlas
Over the past few weeks, I’ve featured several budget-friendly rigs, including this $16,000 2001 Land Cruiser and a $17,900 Grand Cherokee CRD. However, for diversity’s sake, I figured it was time for something luxurious and altogether more extreme—cue today’s 2018 Ram 2500 Prospector XL. I don’t use the word “beast” lightly, but this highly modified,…
Feature Vehicle :: Alika Vaquer’s VW T3 Syncro
The Volkswagen T3 Syncro (or Vanagon Syncro) is widely regarded as the ultimate overland rig. Characterized by insane power and torque and Rolls-Royce-esque refinement, the T3 Syncro is impervious to rust, offers unmatched all-terrain capability, a bulletproof engine, gearbox, and drive train, can achieve upwards of 55 mpg, and is conservatively 10 times more reliable…
Overland Classifieds :: Turbocharged 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80
I’ve recently shared a few FZJ80 Land Cruisers, including this stunning 1994 example owned by filmmaker Foster Huntington and this Triple-Locked Collector’s Edition in Desert Dune. Today’s 1997 offering features the dependable 4.5-liter 1FZE-FE inline-six engine, has covered 189,000 miles, benefits from three locking differentials, and incorporates a number of desirable overlanding modifications and accessories….
Overland Classifieds :: Ford F-250 with Flatbed Camper
This is one of the best-looking, innovative, and unique flatbed campers I’ve seen. Before featuring this rig, I’d not heard of Whiskey Tango Campers, but it didn’t take long to fall in love with their builds. The company is focused on lightweight, functional, and modular designs that ensure the camper is comfortable to live in,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2009 Toyota Tacoma w/ Madcap Cab-Over Camper
The rule of the Tacoma continues with this overland-ready 2009 4×4 V6 beauty. This truck showcases several premium modifications, including King adjustable shocks, Deaver rear leaf springs, PowerStop brakes, a 6-inch Procomp lift, and much more. However, perhaps the most notable feature is the Madcap camper, which sits perfectly in the range between the AluCab…
Overland Classifieds :: 1999 Ford E-350 4×4 DRW Adventure Rig
I recently featured this 2000 Ford E-350 Camper and discussed how overland rigs could be an affordable alternative to expensive housing. Since then, I happened to look at some properties in my local area (Kent, United Kingdom), and a two-bedroom terrace house with no parking and a tiny garden was listed for £300,000. Prices like…
Overland Classifieds :: 1970 Land Cruiser FJ40
It’s safe to say that most older vehicles listed on our forum have received some level of restoration, but far fewer have enjoyed a full nut-and-bolt rebuild. The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is an overlanding icon, and today’s completely rebuilt example is nothing short of perfection. Imported from Australia in 2021, this fully-restored RHD Cruiser…
