While a pickup truck may be an inanimate object, there is no denying the emotional human-like connection that can develop between owner and vehicle. And that’s exactly the case with Eric’s 2001 adventure-ready Toyota Tacoma. I remember the first time we talked about it on the phone, and despite his understanding that it was time…

Overland Classifieds :: 2020 Ford F350 and Flatbed Four Wheel Campers Granby
Overlanding has become a very popular segment for a few years now, but as we know, many companies have been offering car camping options for longer than most of us have been around. Looking back at history, it looks like Henry Ford may have actually started the craze in 1917 by offering his first truck…

There have been a lot of highlights in my life since I started this crazy journey with Expedition Portal and Overland Journal.

Overland Classifieds :: 2013 Tacoma TRD Off-road with AT Overland Summit

That’s one of the reasons I was so excited to see this 2013 Toyota Tacoma…
Overland Classifieds :: Ginger the Fun Hauler
Many overlanders initiated their traveling passion as motorcycle and bicycle riders and, therefore, are constantly looking for a convenient way to keep bringing their adventure toys, even when using a four-legged vehicle.

Overland Classifieds :: 2007 Ram 3500 Diesel w/ FWC Hawk Flatbed
Whenever diesel flatbed Ram trucks with Four Wheel Campers combos pop up in the Expedition Portal forum, they usually cause quite a bit of commotion. Perhaps it’s the long life and power that the Cummins delivers or the comfort and relatively small footprint of the Four Wheel Campers pop-up. Or likely, the combination of the…
Overland Classifieds::2011 LX 570 Locked on 37s
If you have listened to our podcasts and read some of our articles over the last 15 years, you know that we typically prefer to keep our overland vehicles as close to stock as possible, especially the mechanical components.

Overland Classifieds :: Custom F450 Superduty 4×4 Ambulance Conversion
One platform I’m surprised I don’t see more of in the expedition and full-time, live-in vehicle ranks is the humble ambulance. After checking out a few of these rigs in person, I think it’s fair to say that the unassuming, boxy silhouette doesn’t convey this platform’s potential. This particular ambulance was found in Denver, Colorado,…

As most everyone who has been in the market lately has experienced, well-maintained and turn-key overland vehicles are hard to find these days. Or maybe they have always been.
