It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the Chevrolet Colorado, especially the hardcore Bison Edition. These trucks offer excellent capability, well-equipped interiors, desirable engines and, in my opinion, are one of the best-looking mid-size trucks on the market. The 2.8-liter Duramax diesel motor is a particular highlight delivering 369 pound-feet of torque, yet returning…

Overland Classifieds :: 2016 Jeep Wrangler Expedition Build
There are very few vehicles that have remained as true to their roots as the Jeep Wrangler. Sure, the latest models are more refined and have additional driver comforts, but key characteristics remain the same (contrary to the Land Rover Defender). In fact, at a distance, the modern Wrangler looks almost identical to the original…

The E-350 is a popular vehicle for overland travel with recent offerings including this 2000 Power Stroke Diesel Hightop, a 2000 Sportsmobile RB Agile 4×4, and a 1999 7.3-liter Diesel XLT. Long-lived motors and drivetrains, accessibility to OEM and aftermarket parts, and readily available 4WD conversions are just some of the reasons the E-350 is…
Overland Classifieds :: 2011 Lexus LX570
If you’re looking for a rig that combines sumptuous luxury with excellent all-terrain capability, then a Lexus 4WD is hard to beat. Sure, there are a wide array of luxury 4WDs on the market, but very few, if any, offer the same longevity. We’ve featured a number of these plush overland rigs recently, including a…
Overland Classifieds :: 2022 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Limited TRD Off-Road
The Tundra is a popular overland platform and the truck of choice for many travelers who seek bulletproof reliability above all else. Traditionally the Tundra has not been the most powerful, well-equipped, or economical full-size option on the market, but it has proven to be one of the most dependable. We’ve featured a number of…
Overland Classifieds :: 2011 Toyota Tacoma DCLB TRD Sport w/ Four Wheel Campers Fleet
The Tacoma is undoubtedly the most popular truck on our forum, with recent examples including this 2005 TRD Sport w/ A/T Habitat, a 2018 TRD Off-Road w/ Alu-Cab Canopy Camper, and a 2017 TRD Pro. Despite the popularity of the Tacoma, no two are the same, which is a testament to the huge catalog of…
Overland Classifieds :: Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ78
The perfect overland rig doesn’t exist—oh, but it does. It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with the Toyota Land Cruiser, and the “Troopy” variant is arguably the crème de la crème. The Troopy (or Troop Carrier) is an extended-wheelbase version of the Land Cruiser. This means the same class-leading capability and legendary reliability, but with…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 4×4
The Sprinter 4×4 is a popular choice for long-term travel thanks to proven engines and drivetrains, generous interior space and payload, well-equipped interiors, and impressive go-anywhere performance. We’ve featured a number of adventure-ready examples, including this 2016 4×4 Expedition Camper, a 2018 Sportsmobile with Alu-Cab Rooftop Tent, and a 2016 Overland Build. However, with the…

Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Lexus GX470
Despite its posh reputation, the Lexus GX is a rugged 4WD platform and a popular choice for overland builds, with recent examples including this 2005 GX470, 2006 model overland build, and 2005 Sport.

Located 20 minutes outside Williams, Arizona, Backland is an eco-resort nestled amid Kaibab National Forest. Consisting of 160 private acres of heaven on the old Moose homestead, large meadows and marshland are flanked by ponderosa pines, all under the protective eyes of the San Francisco Peaks.

Dometic GO Soft Storage With PAC Insulated Insert: Stay Organized with 10- and 20-Liter Storage Cubes That Convert to Coolers.
Dometic was once a small operation that specialized in making refrigerators for RVs and hotels. Fast forward 20 years, and they have expanded into every aspect of mobile living. With the Dometic GO collection, Dometic is making moves to make car camping more comfortable and easy. I’ve been using the Dometic GO 10- and 20-liter…
Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport
There are few 4WDs that have remained as utilitarian and capable as the Jeep Wrangler. Sure, the latest model incorporates a selection of modern comforts, but these do not detract from the vehicle’s rugged go-anywhere credentials (take note Land Rover and Mercedes). It’s therefore a logical choice for overlanders with recent adventure-ready examples including this…
Overland Classifieds :: 2008 Land Rover LR3 HSE
The Discovery is a popular overland platform on our forum with recent examples including this 2005 LR3 SE w/ HD Package, a 2013 LR4, and a 2012 LR4 HSE. Sure, there’s something undeniably romantic about an outfitted Defender 110, but in reality there’s a lot to be said for the added refinement offered by the…
Overland Classifieds :: 2008 Chevrolet Express AWD
The Chevy Express AWD isn’t the first vehicle that comes to mind when we think about overlanding, but that’s not to say it’s not a valid option. In fact, it’s a popular choice on our forum with recent examples including this 2004 G2500 Quigley 4×4 and a Sportsmobile 4×4. Sure, stock all-terrain performance is nothing…
Overland Classifieds :: 1997 Lexus LX 450
The LX 450 combines rugged go-anywhere capability with class-leading luxury to create a rig that’s as home on backcountry trails as it is soaking up highway miles. This iconic 4WD is underpinned by Toyota’s bulletproof Land Cruiser J80 which offers the same class-leading reliability, capability, and workhorse credentials but with the added bonus of Lexus’…
Overland Classifieds :: 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD
Despite being almost 20 years old the FJ Cruiser continues to look contemporary and purposeful. It’s hard to comprehend that this icon is almost two decades old (unveiled at the 2003 North American International Auto Show) yet still looks like NASA’s latest Mars rover. I love how the FJ blends a bold and curvaceous body…
Overland Classifieds :: 1991 Mitsubishi Delica L300 Reimo Pop Top Camper
I owned a Delica L300 Chamonix some years back, and to this day I regret selling it. The L300 is a unique overland platform because it’s ultimately a SWB van built onto the chassis of a 4WD (a modified Pajero chassis to be exact). This means you get the capability of a 4WD mated with…
