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…
Overland Classifieds :: 1998 Ford E-350 4×4 Ambulance
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 :: 1991 Ford Bronco XLT with Custom Camper
While Toyota, Land Rover, Jeep, and vans of all kinds have dominated the overland space, it’s rarer to see a Ford out in the wild. This 1991 Ford Bronco XLT with a custom camper is reminiscent of Gary and Monika Wescott’s Turtle III, the Ford F-350 with a Four Wheel pop-up camper that the couple…
Overland Classifieds :: 2016 Mercedes Benz 144 Sprinter 4×4 with 150k-mile Warranty
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past year (understandable, given the circumstances), you should know that the demand for campervans has been skyrocketing. In fact, many upfitters are booked out a year or more, forcing prospective buyers to plunk down a deposit and be patient or search for pre-owned vans (which…
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…
Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad with Bison Overland Camper
We’ve shared a few Tacomas recently, but arguably none as overland prepared as today’s example. This stunning rig, featured at Overland Expo Mountain West, was built by specialists Bison Overland Campers as a prototype ahead of their transition to composite construction in 2022. From the Seller: “Being this is a prototype and a used truck,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Ford E-350 Quigley 4×4 Van
Rooftop tents and pop-up campers are classic overland options with a long list of pros. They are, however, challenging to live out of in inclement weather. This is where hard-sided vehicles, such as vans, really shine. Wind, rain, mosquitos—no problem. This 2005 Ford E350 Quigley 4×4 offers a comfortable retreat when Mother Nature is in…
Overland Classifieds :: 2014 Mercedes Benz G Wagon (G 550)
A new Mercedes Benz G Wagon is one of those coveted overland platforms that is financially out of reach to most of us. But as a used vehicle, the price becomes a little bit more palatable. Gotta love depreciation! Originally designed as a military vehicle, the G Wagon, short for Geländewagen (need some G Wagon history?…
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,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Double Cab 4WD
The Toyota Tacoma is one of the most popular vehicles on our forum, and this example is one of the very best. If you’re looking for a base vehicle for your dream overlanding build (not to mention a great everyday vehicle for work or recreation), then look no further. Finished in stunning Army Green, this…
Overland Classifieds :: 1993 Mitsubishi Delica L300 Chamonix
Editor’s Note: This 1993 Mitsubishi Delica is no longer for sale. The cuteness factor of the L300 Delicas can’t help but spark joy within me. Specifically, this custom-painted Chamonix spec version elicits dreams of snow-laden drives to the hills, cozy winter camping, and sharp turns on the skis. The build has a relatively simple interior,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2007 Mitsubishi Fuso FG140 Overland Expedition Vehicle
The Mitsubishi Fuso 4×4 is a popular choice for overland builds and is the vehicle of choice for companies such as earthcruiser.com, sought after for its dependable common-rail turbo-diesel engine, impressive all-terrain performance, and generous 14,000-pound gross vehicle weight. This competitively priced 2007 example, showcasing a custom aluminum habitation pod (removable thanks to a simple…
Overland Classifieds :: Revel 44E Mercedes Sprinter 4WD
The Mercedes Sprinter 4WD has become a popular vehicle for overlanders, thanks to its long-lived engine, impressive all-terrain capability, internal living space, and international parts accessibility. Furthermore, the Sprinter enjoys a wide array of aftermarket parts that further bolster its stock performance. The process of building an overland vehicle is very exciting, but it can…
Overland Classifieds :: 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 4×4 with 2015 FWC Hawk Flatbed
Last week Senior Editor Matt Swartz posted a featured classified displaying a 2021 Ram 2500 with a Four Wheel Campers Hawk, stating that full-size trucks are making their mark in the overland space due to their generous payload and towing capabilities. His point is clearly illustrated by today’s featured classified—yet another Dodge Ram 2500 4×4…
Overland Classifieds: Defender 130 Expedition Camper
A few months ago, Matthew Sanda set out to build the perfect expedition vehicle to drive from Cape Town to Shanghai. The result is really quite exceptional, but Matt realized after the shakedown trip that a more compact vehicle would suit his needs better as he was only using about 25 percent of the useable…
Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Ford E-350 Sportsmobile 4×4
Sportsmobile Classic 4×4 conversions look like they mean business. The burly exterior, off-pavement capability, and comfortable inside living space make for a tempting combination. This iteration, a 2005 Ford E-350 Sportsmobile 4×4, has clocked a mere 92,000 miles and is currently for sale on the Expedition Portal classifieds forum. From the Seller: “[An] outside the…
