If you’ve ever wanted to explore South America by four-wheel drive, then today’s vehicle could be the one for you. It’s a 2009 Nissan Navara 4WD with a small displacement diesel, manual transmission, and a practically brand-new camper on the back. Sure, it’s not importable to the US, but that’s okay because it is already…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: Syncro Vanagon 55,000 Original Miles
The Syncro Vanagon has become the poster child of the van life movement, and it’s pretty easy to see why. They pack loads of charm, a ton of living space, oodles of nostalgia, and a surprising amount of capability into a package smaller than most modern SUVs. Unfortunately, they’re getting harder and harder to come…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: A Diesel Suburban Camper for $11K
Alright, I should preface this article by saying I have a serious soft spot for square-body Suburbans. They balance my desire for an old-school feel with dirt cheap maintenance and a wide availability of parts, but they’re also completely underutilized, making each build fairly unique. Something I always appreciate. This particular one, however, has to be one…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: 2004 Tacoma & AT Habitat
Finding a tastefully built first-generation Tacoma these days is hard enough, but finding one in manual, with a factory locker, in good condition with low miles is basically impossible. Yet, here we are, writing up a classified ad on just that. Actually, it’s even better, because this Tacoma has also been paired to a handful…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: 2009 Tacoma
Vehicles like the Defender and Land Cruiser have a legacy of overland capability behind them. They were some of the first, and yes, some of the best world travel vehicles in the business, but they’re no longer the only game in town. In the last 20 years, the Tacoma has earned its place amongst the legends…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: 1992 Pop-Top Delica
#Vanlife is all the craze these days, and the VW Westfalia and Mercedes Sprinter are the undisputed kings of the movement. Their abundant living space and good looks, combined with a whole lot of hype on social media, has ensured their prices skyrocket to ludicrous proportions, especially when paired with the coveted four-wheel-drive option. But…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: The Turtle III
Gary and Monika Wescott of The Turtle Expedition are some of overlanding’s greatest pioneers.

Expedition Portal Classifieds: 2013 Kimberley Karavan
Kimberley Karavans are legendary in the Land Down Under. They have set the gold standard for off-road campers in Australia for over two decades, but earlier this summer some hard news came out of their home office: the company was shutting their doors for good. Several buyers have looked into the brand, but no deal…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: 2003 Discovery TReK
When most people think of Land Rover competitions, they almost always envision the Camel Trophy: its Sand Glow trucks spinning, bumping, and even swimming through rugged terrain has become one of the brand’s most iconic pieces of heritage, but it’s far from the only competition they held. Take the TReK, for example, an event designed to…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: 2006 4Runner
The fourth generation 4Runner is one of my favorite used four-wheel drives. They’re rock-solid vehicles with bulletproof drivetrains, look great when properly built, and the slightly older body style doesn’t attract the wrong kind of attention while traveling. The biggest challenge these days is finding a clean one that hasn’t been driven into the ground,…

If you’ve been wanting a new Tacoma built for overlanding, then I have good news, your hunt is over. Up for sale today is a practically new Toyota Tacoma with what might be the ultimate combination of parts, and a build list that is almost staggering. Although the price tag might be a bit out…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: 2017 Fuso 4×4
If you’ve gone shopping for a full-size diesel truck recently, you’ll know that they’re far from cheap. These “utility vehicles” now carry price tags exceeding those of many luxury sedans, and are just as luxurious inside. But what if you wanted something different? Something with a massive payload, a ridiculous amount of room, and a…
ExPo Classifieds: 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser Trakka
We’ve all had the dream: buy a cool 70 Series or Defender, ship it to some exotic destination, and explore the world. Many of us spend hours, hell even days, browsing the depths of classified sections hoping to stumble upon that perfect truck here in the states. Unfortunately, when we do find it, the fairy…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: Cummins HZJ79
In everyone’s life, there are a few perfect vehicles that come up for sale. You know the ones I mean, that one-owner cherry Porsche your neighbor owned but you passed up, that low-mile Range Rover Classic that popped up on eBay and you just couldn’t justify, or the 60 Series with every maintenance record since…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: FZJ85 Ute
In many regards, Australia is the four-wheel drive capital of the world. There, you’ll find some of the best trucks, trailers, and off-road gear in existence, including some of the coolest conversions on planet earth. Some of our favorites are the Ute upgrades performed on 80, 100, and 200 Series Land Cruisers. They’re actually surprisingly…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: Revcon Trailblazer
Grab your CDs, VCR tapes, and favorite grunge shirt, because we’re taking a trip back to the 90s. Not just any trip mind you, but one in this insane off-road camper. It’s called the Revcon Trailblazer, and this part RV/part limo/part yacht is about as close to a modern EarthRoamer as we could get back…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: GXV Safari Extreme
Colossal, enormous, gargantuan, titanic, gigantic, these are just a few words that could be used to describe this truck. Of course, you could also call it luxurious, comfortable, capable, and overland ready. That’s because it’s a 2012 Global Expedition Vehicle, designed and manufactured for exploring the far reaches of the globe in complete serenity. It…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: Matzker Discovery
When the latest generation Discovery was released, I grabbed my torch and pitchfork like everyone else and made my way toward the bandwagon. But over the past few months, I have to admit that I’ve really fallen for the thing. It started when I saw a photo of Lucky 8’s D5 on steel wheels and…
Expedition Portal Classifieds: Forest Service CJ6
Every now and then something pops up on eBay that is so cool we just have to share it. Today, that something is a Jeep CJ6. Not any CJ6, mind you, but a special Forest Service Edition, which appears to be as close to a Defender in size and styling as the old Jeeps ever…
ExPo Classifieds: An Ugly HJ45 Camper
Today, we find a very interesting vehicle for sale on the forums. It’s a right-hand drive 1978 Toyota HJ45 diesel pickup that was originally sold in Africa but has somehow found its way to Kodiak, Alaska. The “old Landy” as the name on the camper shell suggests, should be rather cool, but there’s a catch….
