When I first discovered the world of overlanding, it was admittedly through a narrow (but wholesome) lens of traveling the Pan-American Highway in old Toyota 4Runners, Land Cruisers, and Volkswagen vans. Naive to the presence of MAN trucks, Sportsmobiles, RVs, and converted fire trucks, the blogs I read were only part of the picture. I…

Here’e yet another super clean truck and flatbed camper combo for sale in the Expedition Portal forum classifieds section. This rig features a 2020 Four Wheel Campers Hawk paired with a 2018 Ford F150 XLT 4X4. With every flatbed camper setup that I see, I feel more and more confident that this configuration would be…
Overland Classifieds :: 1998 Lexus LX470
We’ve recently shared several high-end rigs to our classifieds, which are very cool but unattainable for the vast majority. This LX470 is a reminder that overlanding is not reserved for the wealthy and that you can purchase a well-maintained go-anywhere vehicle that’s also a great daily driver for just $16,500. From the Seller: “Great vehicle…
Overland Classifieds :: 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80
The moment I recognised this stunning 1994 Land Cruiser FZJ80 listed on our forum, I had to feature it. First off, this beautiful rig was built by the amazing Foster Huntington, pro photographer, talented filmmaker, owner of Movie Mountain studio, overland fanatic, and successful author of iconic books such as Vanlife: Your Home on the…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Ford Transit T350 Quadvan 4×4
There’s no such thing as the perfect overlanding rig—whether you go big or small, there will always be compromises. Consequently, 4WD vans are often considered the sweet spot between living in a rooftop tent and traveling in a rolling castle. Until recently, choices in this category were fairly limited, with the Mercedes Sprinter 4WD dominating…
Overland Classifieds :: 1983 FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser
Classic Land Cruisers, much like Volkswagen campers, have become a wanderlust icon on social media. Thanks to photographers such as Forrest Mankins, I can’t remember what the FJ60 looks like in anything but dusky low-light with a canoe on the roof and an open tailgate. It’s a vehicle that’s become synonymous with adventure, and subsequently,…
Overland Classifieds :: Sportsmobile 4×4 Quigley
I recently shared a $145,500 2013 Ford E350 Sportsmobile 4×4 on the Expedition Portal classifieds page, so when this very reasonably priced 1997 Chevy Express 3500 Sportsmobile Quigley 4×4 was listed, I had to feature it. Full disclaimer: the seller makes it clear that this van is in need of some work; fortunately, it’s largely…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Ford F-250 w/ Overland Explorer Vehicles Camp-X Camper
Editor’s Note: This vehicle is no longer for sale. This 2021 Ford F-250 Lariat Tremor with a Camp-X camper caught my eye on Instagram for a couple of reasons. First, it’s a clean-looking build. Second, Overland Explorer Vehicles campers are relatively new to the market, so they are rare on the Expedition Portal classifieds forum….
Newly built Toyota 4Runner Trail/TRD Off-Road Camper
Overlanding is more popular than ever and the increasing demand for overlanding rigs is exceeding the capacity of supply at the moment. While everyone is hoping that prices will normalise again, the fact is that we’re on the trajectory to see an increase of prices and some companies monopolising on this trend. So, if you…
Overland Classifieds :: 1995 Ford E350 Super Duty Class C Bigfoot C20RK
Econoline vans have been around since the ’60s and are an extremely popular platform for campervan conversions, that is if you can get ahold of one. In 2015 the Transit replaced the Econoline passenger van, leaving the cutaway and stripped chassis as the only Econoline option for buyers wanting a new vehicle. But regardless of…
Overland Classifieds :: Mercedes-Benz Vario 814D 4×4
Well, the day has finally come where I have the opportunity to showcase my dream overland rig. Now, before you grab your pitchforks, let me explain. In my mind, the ultimate round-the-world 4WD is a Toyota Land Cruiser (check out a cool FZJ80 I recently featured), but in terms of a vehicle suited to remote…
Overland Classifieds :: 2013 Toyota Tacoma fully built for Overlanding and Daily Driving
The Toyota Tacoma is one of the most popular vehicles on our forum. Originally introduced to the US market in 1995 as a replacement for the Hilux, it promised a more refined driving experience while still being a dependable workhorse. The balance between everyday comfort and all-terrain capability has made the Tacoma a sought-after overlanding…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Ford F350 Platinum 6.7-liter Powerstroke Turnkey Overland Rig
The current semiconductor shortage combined with shipping delays has made purchasing new vehicles challenging. So instead of placing orders with dealerships, many buyers are looking to the used vehicle market instead. Even though prices are up, there are still deals to be had on lightly-used vehicles, both stock and fully-kitted. The Expedition Portal forum classified…

Overland Classifieds :: 1994 FZJ80 Series Toyota Land Cruiser
The Toyota Land Cruiser is perhaps the most highly regarded overland vehicle and the obvious choice for remote vehicle travel. This factory triple-locked FZJ80 has been meticulously maintained and tastefully upgraded for the road less travelled.

Overland Classifieds :: 2001 Land Rover Discovery II
The popularity of vehicle travel has increased exponentially over the past 10 years, and further accelerated during the pandemic, which is awesome. However, many of the vehicles and accessories showcased at events/online are expensive, giving the illusion that overlanding is reserved for the wealthy. In fact, overlanding is one of the most cost-effective ways to…
Overland Classifieds :: OK4WD 2017 Tacoma w/Alu-Cab Camper
There is no denying that wedge-style pop-up campers are currently on trend in the overland space. This makes sense from a consumer standpoint as the pop-top provides indoor living space, ease of setup and can be more weight-efficient and cost-effective than a canopy, roof rack, and rooftop tent combo. This 2017 Tacoma TRD Off-Road build…
Overland Classifieds :: 2004 Stewart & Stevenson M1088A1 6×6 Truck with Composite Habitat
This 2004 Stewart & Stevenson M1088A1 6×6 military truck was purchased with the intent of outfitting it for overland travel. Starting with the chassis, the owner began upgrading a variety of components including the suspension and fuel tank. He also installed a 16-foot Total Composites habitat with a queen-sized bed platform. But unfortunately, due to…
Overland Classifieds :: 2018 Subaru Crosstrek w/Roofnest
With a mere 44,000 miles on the odometer, this 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Limited with a Roofnest tent is a different sort of adventuremobile–one that we rarely see on the Expedition Portal classifieds forum. This tangerine dream comes with Yakima crossbars and a solar panel to help power the Dometic fridge. If you don’t need to…
Overland Classifieds :: 2013 Ford Sportsmobile E350 EB V10 4×4
The Ford E350 4×4 Sportsmobile, much like the Mercedes Sprinter 4WD MWB, provides the perfect balance between comfort and capability. There’s no such thing as the perfect rig, but in my experience the best overland vehicles incorporate the comforts of home within the smallest possible footprint. A seasoned overlander once told me that the bigger…
