Destinations :: Refugio Poqueira, Sierra Nevada, Spain
A few months before the outbreak of the pandemic, I found myself bikepacking the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains in Spain. The trip was two-wheeled perfection.

Overland Classifieds :: 1992 Mitsubishi Delica 4×4
I both love and hate seeing Delicas listed on our forum because it reignites my obsession with this Japanese icon. I owned a rare manual Delica Chamonix, which had a nut-and-bolt restoration and was mechanically overhauled during my ownership. That rig ruled and drove so much better than my clunky old Syncro. The 2.5 turbo…
Overland Classifieds :: Mercedes Benz Expedition Truck 1225AF
Large expedition vehicles often get a bad rep for being overpriced environment killers that provide the realities of luxury but the illusion of freedom.

Overland Classifieds :: 1997 Isuzu Trooper
Overlanding should be accessible to all, but in recent years, it has felt increasingly cost-prohibitive.

Overland Classifieds :: 2008 Ford E-450 4×4 Bus
The cost of live-in vehicles skyrocketed during the pandemic, with many examples selling for hugely inflated prices.

Sure,…
Royal Natal National Park in the Drakensberg, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa
At the tender age of 18, I backpacked Israel and Europe, and upon my return to South Africa, I fell madly in love with a Durban surfer boy. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be, and to “get away from it all,” I retreated to the wild to soothe a broken heart. My new live-in…

Overland Classifieds :: 2020 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison w/ Alu-Cab Canopy Camper
There was a time when choosing a mid-size truck for overlanding meant heading to the Toyota dealership and picking up a Tacoma TRD Off-Road.
