It’s fair to say that you rarely make back what you spent on an overland build and generally accept a considerable loss. Obviously, you will see a return in other ways; for example, if you’re living in it full-time, you can be mortgage and rent-free—but the direct sale can be heart-wrenching. The trick is to…
Overland Classifieds :: Wheelchair-Accessible 2006 Ford E-250 Overland Build
Andrew Shelley is a man with a thirst for travel, all-terrain adventure, backpacking, and overlanding. He is also the subject of Beyond the Chair, a documentary following his journey through Thailand, Cambodia, India, New Zealand, and the United Arab Emirates. Born with muscular dystrophy, Shelley set out to test the limits of his all-terrain power…
Overland Classifieds :: 2006 Lexus GX470
We’ve had a number of interesting Lexus overland builds listed on our forum recently, including a very distinct 2018 GX460. It’s perhaps not the first OEM that comes to mind when we think of overlanding; still, the combination of impressive all-terrain capability matched with renowned driver comfort is a great combination. This 2006 example has…
Overland Classifieds :: 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD
I’ve always been a fan of the Cherokee, so when this well-maintained 2007 model was listed, I was keen to feature it. Arguably the highlight of this particular example is the Mercedes OM642 common rail diesel engine, which is both responsive and long-lived. This desirable motor, matched with a capable 4WD system, refined driving experience,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2000 Ford E-350 w/Four-season Camper
Real estate prices these days are just insane, and as a prospective first-time buyer, that can feel pretty demoralising. I remember my dad telling me that he purchased his first house here in the UK for £23,000; well, that same property is now worth close to £300,000. With that in mind, overland vehicles may appear…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road
If I had a dollar for every Tacoma listed on our forum, I might actually be able to own one myself. Toyota’s goal with this truck was to carry forward the workhorse credentials of the Hilux while introducing an altogether more refined driving experience for everyday recreational use. Today the Tacoma is one of the…
Overland Classifieds :: 1994 80-Series Land Cruiser
There’s a phenomenon currently underway on the Expedition Portal Classifieds forum that I like to call “Land Cruiser madness.” Everywhere you look, there’s a Land Cruiser for sale. Jack Mac recently featured a 2015 Cruiser, 1994 FZJ80, 1983 FJ60, and 1994 FZJ80, while I added a 1995 FZJ80 with a Campteq pop-top to the mix….
Overland Classifieds :: 1987 Volkswagen Syncro 4×4 TDI Off-Grid Camper
The day has finally arrived when I have an opportunity to list a Volkswagen Syncro! I live in my 1986 Syncro, and while it has been an emotional rollercoaster, I honestly love it with every piece of my bankrupt heart. So, what are the benefits? The VW community is phenomenal; parts are easily sourced (or…
Overland Classifieds :: 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser
It’s not often that a relatively modern Land Cruiser is posted to our forum, so when this stunning, all-options-from-the-factory, full-service history 2015 example was listed, I had to feature it. Older Land Cruisers are sought after for their bombproof dependability and go-anywhere capability, and generally not for driving comfort. That’s not to say they’re terrible,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2009 Lexus LX570
We’ve featured a number of epic Lexus classifieds over the past few months, including this heavily modified 2018 GX460, and more recently, a rugged 1998 LX470. Today’s on the clock and remained completely stock. Since then, the Lexus has been extensively modified and is now ready for your dream overland adventure! From the Seller: “Selling…
Overland Classifieds :: 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4×4
Simple, rugged, dependable, relatively economical, and with parts available worldwide, it’s no surprise that the Toyota Tacoma is such a popular choice amongst overlanders. This largely unmodified example has covered just 62,000 miles, includes an insulated fiberglass camper shell, and is ready for your next overland adventure. From the Seller: “We choose the Tacoma platform…
Overland Classifieds :: 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 w/Campteq Pop-top
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…
Overland Classifieds :: 2018 Ford F150 XLT 4X4 with 2020 FWC Hawk Flatbed
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…
