At the beginning of this year, I abandoned my rolling home (a Vanagon Syncro) as engine failure struck for the third time. It was especially painful on this occasion as I’d just spent five months restoring the bodywork and overhauling the interior. It’s times like these that I wish I’d instead invested in a transferable…
2015 Ford F-350 XLT w/ XP Camper V1 with Nimbl Upgrades :: Featured Classified
As part of my role at Overland International, I oversee Expedition Portal Classifieds and the Expedition Vehicles for Sale category on the forum. Consequently, I see the good, the bad, and the ugly, and asking prices that range from a couple of thousand dollars to the best part of a million. It, therefore, takes an…

2011 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x :: Classifieds
This Nissan Frontier Pro-4x has not been adopted to anywhere near the same extent for overlanding as its Toyota, Jeep, or Ford counterparts, despite showcasing many of the same desirable attributes.

2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road 4×4 w/ AT Overland Summit :: Featured Classified
As I drooled over today’s overland-equipped Tacoma, it suddenly struck me that despite seeing hundreds of third gens listed to our forum, I’ve not read about a single engine or transmission replacement. Needless to say, I’m not suggesting it never happens. Still, when you consider the sheer number of these vehicles in circulation and how…
1993 Mitsubishi L300 Delica Chamonix :: Classifieds
I recently completed a 2,000 mile trip from the UK to the North of Norway in my 1992 Mitsubishi L300 Delica and it didn’t miss a beat. This vehicle was a recent acquisition but has quickly proven to be a dependable workhorse (despite being unloved for many years prior) and is now my rolling home…

Despite showcasing many of the same desirable attributes, today’s 2007 Mitsubishi Fuso 4×4 (162,000 miles) is priced at just $69,000 and “is ready for your next expedition.” One of the biggest advantages…
1992 Toyota 4Runner SR5 :: Classifieds
I see thousands of listings on our forum, but the vehicles that excite me most are under $10,000. There’s something charming about a well-loved 4WD with stories to tell and many more miles to give. Perhaps it’s the romantic in me, but I love the notion of throwing some bedding, basic supplies, and my camera…

There’s no shortage of options when it comes to suitable 4WD platforms for full expedition builds, but the Mitsubishi Fuso 4×4 remains one of the very best.

2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500HD :: Classifieds
Full-size trucks have never been so popular, with an increasing number of travelers recognizing the advantages over mid-size alternatives (learn more by reading Full-Size Revolution). The reality is that once you add a camping system, passengers, gear, and supplies, you’re already at or exceeding the payload of mid-size pickups. As a result, many owners spend…

2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road Supercharged w/ Super Pacific :: Featured Classified
Here at Expedition Portal, we believe that overlanding should prioritize experiences above all else and that the vehicle and gear should always be secondary. Thus, it’s important to select a rig that allows you to focus on the road ahead rather than the next expensive breakdown. With this in mind, the Toyota Tacoma is, without…
1996 Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ80 :: Classifieds
The Toyota Land Cruiser is widely regarded as a pinnacle overland platform for around-the-world adventures. However, living inside a standard 4WD is not ideal, and while a pop-top roof is an improvement, it’s still cramped. Cue today’s 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ80, which solves this issue with an exquisitely equipped German-manufactured custom composite cabin. This…
2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave w/ AT Overland Summit Camper :: Featured Classified
When Jeep unveiled the Gladiator at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show there was no question that the new truck would be a huge hit with the overlanding community.

2005 GMC Sierra 2500 HD 4×4 w/ Lance 815 Truck Camper :: Classifieds
With the inflated cost of living, there has never been a better time to remove some of life’s overheads and transition to a live-in rig. It’s interesting that many people associate travel with wealth when, in reality, it’s often considerably cheaper than renting a one-bedroom apartment (as discussed in a recent Overland Journal Podcast with…
2006 Toyota Land Cruiser :: Classifieds
The 100 Series Land Cruiser is legendary and a popular choice on our forum with recent examples including this 1998, 1999, and 2004. Back in 2022, I spent several months exploring the Dolomites in a beat-up example and it left a lasting impression. The owner of the Italian Cruiser, Matteo, said it best when he…
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser :: Featured Classified
The FJ Cruiser is an icon and has long been a 4WD I’ve admired and lusted after. It was first revealed as a concept vehicle at the 2003 Detroit Motor Show but was so well received that it was put into production. Despite now being more than 20 years old, it continues to look contemporary…
