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…
Land Rover TReK 2022 Winner Announced
Land Rover recently held the TReK 2022 adventure competition for U.S. and Canadian retailers. The winning retailer, Rochester New York, has won for the second year in a row. The 2022 event took place across several states, beginning at Jaguar Land Rover North America with headquarters in Mahwah, New Jersey, and culminating at the Land…
Overland Classifieds :: 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ81 VX Limited
The Toyota Land Cruiser is widely considered overlanding royalty with the 80-Series considered one of the best (for more, read Matt Scott’s Why The Land Cruiser 80-Series Is The Next Classic). I’ve recently featured several adventure-ready examples, including this 1992 HZJ80, a 1996 HDJ80L, and a 1997 FZJ80. So, what makes this model such a…
Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
The Tundra, much like the rest of Toyota’s 4WD line-up, has a reputation for excellence. These are by no means the best equipped trucks, nor are they especially comfortable or economical, but when it comes to bulletproof reliability and build quality, they’re class-leading. The Tundra has always been respectable on backcountry trails, but older models…
Over-The-Counter :: Medicine for Travelers
As travelers prepare to return to international travel, many will likely forget to pack their over-the-counter and prescription medicines. Many more will forget to check the international rules and regulations for common medicines easily obtained in their home countries—but possibly not allowed overseas. Trip-takers consistently list “forgetting to pack prescription and over-the-counter medicine” as one…
Overland Classifieds :: 2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium
The 4Runner, much like the Tacoma or Land Cruiser, is a cross-category platform. This means it’s as comfortable on the work commute and running the kids to school as it is exploring backcountry trails or navigating technical terrain. The vast majority of us can’t afford a second dedicated expedition vehicle which makes versatile rigs like…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Toyota Tundra Limited TRD Off-Road
Despite fuel price hikes, full-size trucks have never been so popular, with most owners accepting higher running costs in exchange for greater versatility and comfort. Overlanders have especially gravitated towards these vehicles as more people transition to remote work and ditch the weekend adventuring for long-term trips or even living on the road. Sure, mid-size…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Ram Power Wagon w/ GFC Camper
There are few full-size trucks that from the factory can match the Ram Power Wagon’s go-anywhere capability. This is not simply a lifted 2500 with bigger tires and fancy decals but rather a truly purposeful all-terrain vehicle with an impressive list of credentials. The Power Wagon’s off-road features include high and low range, front and…
Weekends with the Family :: How to successfully plan small vacations
I really have no quarrel with the way I live. I am a day-job dreamer and a weekender, meaning I define my relationship to travel and the outdoors by breaks in a five-day workweek and amid limited vacation time. I live for the weekend, you might say. It’s time spent with my wife in middle…
Overland Classifieds :: 2005 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport w/ A/T Habitat
The Tacoma was first introduced to the US market in 1995 as a replacement for the Hilux, and while it carried forward the rugged attributes of its predecessor it also introduced an altogether more refined driving experience. The Hilux’s go-anywhere capability and bulletproof dependability are legendary, but it is largely considered a commercial workhorse rather…

Overland Classifieds :: 2016 EarthCruiser FX
If we’re discussing luxury overland vehicles then there are a few companies that immediately come to mind, EarthRoamer, Global Expedition Vehicles, SLRV Expedition Vehicles, and EarthCruiser. I’ve always championed the rigs produced by EarthCruiser, which prioritize remote all-terrain travel above all else. The huge rolling homes built by the alternatives are grand, but they’re too…
No Time to Die :: James Bond Triumph to be auctioned at Christie’s
Admirers of the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE, the stunt bike that carried James Bond (Daniel Craig) through a city street chase ending in an epic jump into the piazza in the movie No Time to Die, have almost no time (just 12 hours) to register to bid on the iconic bike. Bidding starts in…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Ram 3500 w/ Aluma Tray and OEV Camper
Ram’s line-up of full-size trucks are desirable for expedition builds with the 2500 variant being the most popular on our forum. These vehicles are favored for their powerful motors, dependable drivetrains, considerable payload and towing capacity, go-anywhere performance, comfortable interiors, and accessibility to aftermarket parts and accessories. These trucks provide enough payload, power, and capability…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Ford F-450 DBL Severe Duty w/ Autarky Camper
The F-450 is a popular option for full-camper builds with previous features including this 2008 Camper and a 2019 Overland Build. The F-450’s list of attributes are impressive with a towing capacity of up to 35,000 pounds, a 7,640-pound max payload, seating for six, a luxurious interior, and a powerful 6.7-liter Power Stroke developing 935…
KTM 890 Adventure R Updates for 2023
The KTM 890 Adventure R, an already capable and popular motorcycle, is getting an overhaul for 2023. Why mess with success? According to KTM, it was to “further offroad excellence, dependability and suitability for whatever lies on the road ahead.” In other words, to make a good thing better. Improved Adventure Ride When the road…
Overland Classifieds :: 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 w/ Alu-Cab Canopy Camper
If I was looking to buy a mid-size truck, I’d consider the Colorado ZR2 (especially the Bison model) which offers engaging on-road performance, excellent capability, and a well-equipped interior. Moreover, I think the ZR2 is one of the best looking mid-size trucks and really stands out against its competitors. I’m not the only fan, with…
Overland Classifieds :: 1995 DAF Leyland T244
Decommissioned military vehicles are generally sold at bargain prices and, in some cases, offer a viable platform for overland builds. In reality, many of these rigs are not practical for real-world use. Drawbacks often include abysmal fuel economy, poor build quality, zero interior comforts, and limited accessibility due to size. That’s not to say there…
