There’s no right or wrong way to travel, and what works for one person might not suit you. Some folks enjoy occasional weekend adventures, others allot weeks or months each year for extended trips, and a minority travel full-time. Similarly, some people want to pack light and embrace a more simplistic way of life, whilst…

Walter Sky WS-MH01 Nuyarn Merino Zip Hoodie
Living full-time in a modestly sized van means space is at a premium, and packing light is essential. Consequently, there’s really no place for clothing that’s not multi-functional, so I rarely purchase apparel that’s not suitable for both everyday life and outdoor activities. Technical products tend to be lighter, more packable, compressible, quick-drying, warmer/cooler, and…
Jeep Performance Parts Introduces New Half Doors for the Gladiator
In March of this year, Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) unveiled new half doors for the Wrangler. The wait is now over for Gladiator owners, who can also benefit from this exciting modification. Offered by Mopar for the Jeep brand and established in 2012, JPP manufactures high-end, hard-core quality aftermarket accessories and performance parts for the…
Overland Classifieds :: 1992 Range Rover Classic SWB
There aren’t many vehicles quite as timeless and iconic as the Range Rover Classic, and this 1992 SWB variant is a lovely example. I fell in love with the Classic’s styling, V8 burble, and impressive all-terrain performance when it featured on the Top Gear’s “Bolivia Special.” I’ve had a soft spot for it ever since….
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 Winnebago Revel (September 22nd, 2021)
It’s exciting perusing exotic overland vehicles for sale, and for many of us, including myself, there’s an undeniable attraction to the weird and wonderful. However, whilst unusual vehicles may have a certain je ne sais quoi, they’re not always the sensible choice. Truthfully, it’s the vehicles you see every day, depended on by tradesmen, rental…
Overland Classifieds :: 1994 HZJ75 Land Cruiser + Alu-Cab Hercules
This listing is as much about the vehicle for sale as the team that made it. If you’re unfamiliar with The Fit Garage, then it’s best described as The Fast and the Furious meets Mad Max. It’s a garage where they’ve seemingly struck the perfect balance between creating exquisite, bespoke, one-off vehicles while simultaneously sodding…
New Land Rover Defender V8 Bond Edition Inspired by “No Time to Die”
Inspired by the Defenders which appear in the upcoming Bond movie No Time to Die, Land Rover announced a limited run of 300 Bond Edition Defenders based on the recently launched V8 Edition. In the US, the Bond Edition will be available exclusively in the 110 body style and showcases the Extended Black Pack with…
BFGoodrich Tires launches Trail-Terrain T/A Tire
I love the versatility, durability, and all-round functionality of BFGoodrich All-terrains, and over the past four years, I’ve put almost 100,000 miles on them (two sets). However, they’re not without drawbacks, and I’ve often wondered why manufacturers don’t produce more tires that strike a middle-ground between road and all-terrain performance. A tire that’s quiet and…
Utah’s Unique Land Cruiser Heritage Museum Inspires Adventure from its New Location
The Land Cruiser Heritage Museum offers a unique opportunity to experience one of the most iconic and longest-standing sport utility vehicles in the Toyota lineup. Its mission is to “celebrate the history of the Land Cruiser while preserving its legacy and inspiring adventure.” The museum planted its roots in a specially designed building at the…
Legacy Overland :: 1961 Land Rover Series IIA 88
One of my close friends owns a Series II Land Rover, and I’m not sure I’ve witnessed anyone simultaneously love and hate something so passionately. The breakdowns are endless, the ride agricultural, safety non-existent, fuel economy abysmal, and brakes—well, who needs them!? Nevertheless, the Series II was the workhorse of its time, easy to fix,…
KUIU Ultra Merino 145 ZIP-T Hoodie
Founded by Jason Hairston, KUIU is primarily a hunting brand designed to be “the lightest and highest performing Mountain Hunting clothing possible.” However, the apparel line has cross-category appeal and, whilst I don’t hunt, is well-suited to most outdoor activities. Hence, I was keen to see how their 145 ZIP-T hoodie would perform on a…
Featured Vehicle :: 2006 Mitsubishi Canter 4×4 FG649—Trucking OZ
Japanese manufactured vehicles are the best—end of discussion. Okay, I accept that’s not always the case, but I bet you know at least one person who drives a Stone Age Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Mazda, or Suzuki that seemingly never breaks down, despite being redlined daily, rusted beyond fathom, or half-way up the Andes….
An Interview with Ultra-endurance Rider Lael Wilcox
Where to start? It was a privilege to speak with one of the greatest ultra-endurance riders of our time and to get insight into the immense dedication and sacrifice required to reach the pinnacle of the sport. However, this cycling journey was not as linear as perhaps one would expect, whilst being far more diverse…
Featured Vehicle :: Mercedes Vario 4×4 – “Le Truck World”
There’s a big difference between a campervan and a motorhome; generally, the former is more compact and offers basic amenities, whilst the latter provides generous living accommodation and the comforts of home. I appreciate these are sweeping statements, and there are numerous exceptions to the rule, but broadly speaking, one remains a “van,” whilst the…
Overland Classifieds :: 1993 HZJ73 Toyota Land Cruiser
I’m not sure there’s another vehicle that has quite the same reputation for bombproof reliability in remote locations as the Toyota Land Cruiser, and the HZJ73 variant is one of the best. The Land Cruiser is often considered the standard by which all other vehicles are measured. Historically, this generation was designed from the outset…
2022 Toyota Tundra Showcases Leafless Rear Suspension
Toyota continues to tease fans with the latest Tundra press release, which offers a first glimpse at the 2022 model’s leafless rear suspension. “Turning over a new leaf” gives the Tundra an exciting five-link coil-spring rear suspension setup that promises class-leading on- and off-road performance. The current-generation Tundra features a traditional live rear axle…
Morgan Plus Four CX-T
Are you super-rich? Bored? Looking for a good time? Then the new Morgan Plus Four CX-T might just be the midlife crisis for you! Sure, at a glance, the Plus Four CX-T might look like what Sherlock Holmes would choose to compete with in the World Rally Championship, but there are some bonafide rally credentials…
1993 Mitsubishi L300 4×4
Small but mighty is the fantastic Mitsubishi L300 4×4. I’ve had the pleasure of owning one of these legendary vehicles, and I still wonder whether I should’ve swapped it for my faithful Vanagon Syncro. The L300 4×4 is a compact van built on a modified Mitsubishi Pajero chassis, which means all the benefits of a…
Warn Industries Acquires Fab Fours
Warn Industries continues to bolster their network, acquiring Factor 55 last year, more recently Fabtech, and have just announced the acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of Fab Fours, Inc., a leading manufacturer of fabricated mounting solutions for trucks and Jeeps. Fab Fours, founded in 2004, manufactures multiple different metal fabricated truck…
Featured Vehicle :: 1989 Volkswagen T3 Syncro – Guanabana Overland
Some of you will know that I ordinarily live (pre-Covid) full-time in my 1986 Volkswagen T3 Syncro and thus have a soft spot for this iconic classic. I follow hundreds of 2WD Vanagons and Syncros online and frequently contribute to the various Volkswagen forums. There are simply thousands of incredible rigs out there, as diverse…
