Although the wild anticipation of the Jeep Gladiator has settled since its introduction at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2018, the platform’s uniqueness remains. Slowly gaining traction in the overland world, we’ve seen several renditions traveling the world, including Dan Grec’s Australian 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon and Hourless Life’s Gladiator Sport S with a…
Overland Classifieds :: 2006 Ford E-350 4×4 6.0-liter Diesel
We’ve recently shared a number of E-350 builds to our classifieds, including this $119,000 E-350 Quad Van and a $145,000 V10 Sportsmobile. Today’s 2006 E-350 shares many of the same desirable features but is considerably cheaper at $75,000 and is more economical thanks to its 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel. From the Seller: “Owned and loved…
Overland Classifieds :: 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ79
There are times when I come across a vehicle for sale that is truly exciting, and this is one of them. Josephine and Frederik have travelled the world in this diesel-powered 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ79 with a 1HZ 4.2-liter inline 6-cylinder engine and Azalaï “living pod” conversion. Ride comforts include Recaro Orthoped seats and…
Overland Classifieds :: 1997 Toyota Tacoma 4×4 with Four Wheel Camper
The popularity of the Tacoma amongst overlanders is truly astonishing and a testament to the build quality, reliability, and capability of these trucks. This model may not be the most luxurious, but it’s a dependable daily workhorse, excellent when the tarmac ends, and parts are available worldwide. Over the past few months, we’ve featured some…
Overland Classifieds :: 1987 Land Cruiser FJ60 with GFC RTT and Engine Rebuild
Whether you believe the Toyota Land Cruiser to be the G.O.A.T. or not, there’s no denying the popularity of this vehicle among off-road enthusiasts and overland travelers, and for good reason: they are darn-near bulletproof. Earlier models had solid axels, and the overall reliability and durability of this platform has seen it travel to all…
Overland Classifieds :: 2020 Man World Overland Expedition 4WD Camper
I recently shared this $675,000 SLRV Expedition Vehicle and made the irrefutable point that it was a small price to pay for “wine storage for 20 bottles.” However, I appreciate that not everyone can afford a luxurious 6WD rolling palace and that our classifieds need to be balanced with something more affordable. Today’s budget-friendly offering is…
Overland Classifieds :: Land Rover Discovery I 300tdi Pop-Top Camper
We’ve featured several impressive Discoverys recently, including a 2000 V8 Overland Rig and a 2001 Discovery II. As a Defender fan, I’d previously overlooked older Discoverys, but after seeing these builds, I became completely obsessed, and now find myself perusing classifieds in search of one. The Discovery effectively carries forward many of the benefits of…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 SLRV Expedition Vehicle on Acela 6×6 Chassis
I’ve recently shared several affordable overland rigs, including this $15,500 Tacoma TRD 4×4 and a $20,000 Lexus LX450, but amazingly neither rig offered “wine storage for 20 bottles,” which simply will not do. Obviously, extra features will come at a cost, but can you really put a price on safely transporting your Barolo? Well, it…
Overland Classifieds :: 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia
The Vanagon has become a symbol of freedom, wanderlust, and the great open road. It is therefore no surprise that this classic has swiftly become a desirable social media icon. The Vanagon is often viewed through rose-tinted spectacles, which can serve up some harsh realities for those expecting an adventure-ready turnkey rig. As an owner…
Overland Classifieds :: 2000 Land Rover Discovery
The Discovery was designed to carry forward Land Rover’s legendary utilitarian credentials while introducing a new level of driver refinement. In many ways, this model set the tone for all future Land Rovers, which are now almost indistinguishable from their Range Rover counterparts. Consequently, these older Discoveries offer a sweet spot between the rugged workhorse…
Overland Classifieds :: 2014 Toyota 4Runner Trail
If you’re looking for a rig that can do it all, the 4Runner is a fantastic option. I spent a significant amount of time in one exploring Minnesota this past winter, and despite extreme sub-zero temperatures, it ran flawlessly and was very comfortable. While they may not be the most well-equipped from the factory (the…
Overland Classifieds :: 1990 Unimog 1300L
Sometimes, to possess the unicorn your heart is longing for, you must turn to the vehicle importation process. Purchasing a vehicle sight unseen and passing your judgment solely based on photographs can require a leap of faith. But, the reward can also be great. Imported vehicles have the potential to be in better condition with…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab with AT Overland Atlas Topper
If you’re looking for a daily driver that can also be outfitted for overlanding, I’d recommend a Tacoma. They’re not the most lavish, but they are well-built, reliable, and with the TRD package, they’re excellent off-road. Crucially, they’re also significantly more fuel efficient than the Tundra. However, if you were to ask me which I’d…
Overland Classifieds :: 2000 Ford E350 EB 7.3L Sportsmobile UJOR 4×4 with CCV Top
Sportsmobile is a well-established name in the overland and off-highway vehicle space and there’s a reason for that: they know how to upfit recreational vehicles with functional living spaces. Sportsmobile converts Promasters, Transits, and Sprinters, and they are best recognized for their Ford E-van pop-top conversions. Although today’s vehicle was originally built out by Sportmobile,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2004 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab TRD 4×4
If you’re looking to purchase a used vehicle but want real-world data on prospective ownership, one of the best ways to get unfiltered feedback is to search internet forums. I’ve found that even the most devoted owners are quick to point out their model’s shortcomings, and it’s very unusual that a vehicle escapes criticism. However,…
Overland Classifieds :: 1992 Land Rover Defender 110
The Land Rover Defender is arguably the most iconic overland vehicle ever made (trust me, I’m British and thus completely impartial), and over the years, it has been the hero of many world-first expeditions. The Camel Trophy was undoubtedly fundamental to the Defender’s rise to fame. Ever since, it has continued to be one of…

Moreover, our resident senior editor Matt Swartz is building the ultimate Ram 2500 and is documenting the entire process; check out his recent build video on…
Overland Classifieds :: 2002 Toyota Tacoma Extra Cab 4×4 TRD Off-Road
The Tacoma is a hugely popular choice for overland builds, with recent offerings including this 2016 TRD Off-Road w/Four Wheel Camper and a 2018 Tacoma w/ AT Overland Atlas.

Overland Classifieds :: 2010 Lexus LX 570
Lexus may not be the first company that comes to mind when we think of overlanding, but over the past few months, we’ve featured some amazing builds, such as this 2009 LX 570 and an incredible 2018 GX 460. The company carries forward Toyota’s reliability, go-anywhere capability, and build quality while introducing a new level…
Overland Classifieds :: 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 Overland Build
The Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 platform is popular amongst overlanders, with recent examples including this 2019 Winnebago Revel and 2017 4×4 2500. This is a very sought-after vehicle, and during the pandemic, prices rocketed, with newer models, such as this 2021 Sprinter Revel, fetching almost $180,000 on the used market. However, there are still deals to…
