Overland Classifieds :: 2018 4×4 144-inch High Roof Overlanding Mercedes Sprinter
The Mercedes Sprinter is one of the most popular live-in vehicles, and for a good reason.

If that wasn’t enough, the…
Overland Classifieds :: Turnkey 2019 Ford Ranger and Wedge Camper Overland Build
This might be the newest vehicle I’ve featured on the Expedition Portal classifieds page, and that got me thinking. I love classic vehicles, but they can be infuriating. The reality is that most old parts will need changing, and unless the vehicle has lived its life in a dry climate, it will also require some…
Feature Vehicle :: MAN Kat 1 – “Darth Vader”
The first time I set eyes on this epic MAN Kat 1, I was parked across the bay in Reine, Lofoten Islands, and distinctly remember thinking, “What in the name of Tolkien is that?” (or words to that effect). I rushed over, letting out the occasional childlike giggle of excitement (not dissimilar to a Chucky…
Overland Classifieds :: 1998 Toyota Tacoma TRD Complete Off-Road Camper Build
I’m a sucker for minimalist go-faster–style campers, which incorporate the absolute essentials and nothing else. These rigs are relatively cheap to run, are field-serviceable, lightweight, capable of highway speeds, and comfortable whatever the terrain. The modular design also means that the camper shell and overlanding accessories are easily transferable to another truck if required. This…
Overland Classifieds :: 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
Is it just me, or has the FJ Cruiser aged like a fine wine? It looked great when first released, and despite its maturity, it still looks fresh, unique, and purposeful. Interestingly, the FJ started life as a concept vehicle, but the reaction was so positive at the unveiling that Toyota decided to put it…

If you’re seriously considering life on the road or a long-term overlanding trip, this 2002 Acela Monterra is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a unique, meticulously built, serviced, and upgraded all-terrain base vehicle.

Overland Classifieds :: 1998 Toyota 100-Series Land Cruiser and Trailer
If you’re an Expedition Portal regular, you might have come across an article I featured on a Toyota Hilux Arctic Truck 38 Polar Edition.

Overland Classifieds :: 1994 Toyota Hilux Galaxy Camper 5-Speed 4×4
Do you believe in y unicorns? I wasn’t convinced either until I came across today’s listing. This 1994 Toyota Hilux Galaxy 4×4 is said to be one of just 80 examples produced for the Japanese market, and wow, what a beauty. The Toyota Hilux doesn’t need an introduction; it was famously unkillable on Top Gear,…

I can’t take it anymore—the sleepless nights, the constant lying to myself, the weight of the guilt. It’s time to come clean.

I continually talk myself into upgrading the Syncro, but the truth is, I could’ve explored Central Asia the…
Overland Classifieds :: Nitro Gear Ford Superduty 4×4 RV
At first glance, today’s classified appears to be an EarthRoamer, but it’s a one-off custom build. The Nitro camper began as a 2004 Xplorer Xcursion RV on an F-450 4WD chassis and has been completely reimagined and heavily modified to create a go-anywhere expedition vehicle. Look familiar? Chris Cordes featured the build on Expedition Portal…
Overland Classifieds :: 2016 Subaru Crosstrek 5-speed 2.0 Premium Overland Build
I’m a big fan of compact overland vehicles, and this rally-ready Subaru Crosstrek is a fantastic blank canvas to build your dream micro-camper. While living on the road for the past six years, one of the key things I’ve learnt is that the vehicle should always come secondary to experiences. In other words, large, vintage,…
