The price of overland vehicles designed for full-time living can be eye-watering and, at times, as much (if not more than) an actual house (EarthRoamer and EarthCruiser come to mind). It’s refreshing when a more budget-friendly vehicle is listed on our forum that’s both a capable 4WD and a fully equipped home on wheels. This…
Overland Classifieds :: 2007 Supercharged Toyota AT FJ Cruiser
The FJ Cruiser started life as a concept car but was so well received that Toyota decided to put it into production. It’s unusual for a vehicle that’s over a decade old to still look contemporary, but the FJ’s rugged yet curvaceous body shape matched with classic Land Cruiser styling cues and purposeful 4WD detailing…
Camel Trophy – The Definitive History (Unique Edition)
The Camel Trophy, held from 1980-2000, saw competitors drive specially prepared Land Rovers (finished in Camel’s iconic yellow livery) across some of the harshest environments on earth (including Borneo, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, Siberia and Tanzania).

Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad with Bison Overland Camper

From the Seller: “Being this is a prototype and a used truck,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2018 Lexus GX460 fully-outfitted
The Lexus GX460 isn’t the first 4WD that comes to mind when we think of capable overlanding rigs. In fact, families usually choose this model as a practical daily driver rather than an expedition vehicle. But that’s what makes today’s listing so special; it’s a fantastic example of what’s possible with imagination, expertise, extensive modifications,…

Mac’s Tie-Down Solutions
Mac’s manufactures a fantastic range of tie-down solutions with infinite possibilities. The company was established in 1993 when its founder Colin McLemore recognised a need for tie-down systems for trailers and truck beds. The company eventually released their patented VersaTie Tracks and Connectors, a system that has since “become the standard of the industry.” Mac’s…
Ombraz Armless Sunglasses
Sunglasses are an essential accessory for adventures, but they can also be fragile, poor fitting, easy to lose, and fog up the moment you do anything strenuous. Ombraz (pronounced “Ohm-bruhs,” originating from the Italian word ombra for shade) promises to end these drawbacks with their armless sunglasses, designed to be the ultimate outdoor adventure shades. …
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. Parts are available internationally (bolstered by Mercedes’ fabled global parts network), engines are powerful and relatively economical, reliability is excellent, and a considerable range of wheelbase options (including compact, standard, long, and extra-long) exist. 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…
