Australia is one of the world’s ultimate proving grounds for overland vehicles, and any rig capable of conquering this challenging environment is generally well-suited to round-the-world travel. The Ford Ranger, alongside the Toyota Hilux, is one of the best-selling trucks in Australia (which says a lot about the build quality and capability) with more than…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Ford F-550 Severe Duty
It’s safe to say that trucks are by far the most popular platform for overland builds on our forum, whether that’s alongside a canopy, camper, or custom habitation box. Over the past few months, we’ve shared a number of these adventure-ready rigs, including this 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD Crew Max Limited, a 2020 Chevrolet Colorado…
Overland Classifieds :: 2018 Lexus GX460
Overlanding and luxury don’t often go hand-in-hand, but there are some vehicles that provide the best of both worlds. I have to admit I was a bit of a latecomer to Lexus’ line-up of 4WDs and largely considered them luxury run-arounds rather than legitimate overland vehicles. However, I realized the error of my ways after…
Overland Classifieds :: 2022 Ford F-250 Lariat Tremor w/ FWC Flatbed Hawk
Full-size trucks have become increasingly popular for expedition builds with overlanders favoring them for their generous payload and towing capacity, powerful motors, well-equipped interiors, and more. If you’re looking to camp on weekends or escape on occasional trips away, theToyota Tacoma or Ford Ranger with a lightweight camper or canopy will suffice; however, if you’re…
Overland Classifieds :: 2000 Ford E-350 4×4 Powerstroke Diesel Hightop
The Ford E-350 is undoubtedly one of the most popular vans on our forum. This model is sought for its long-lived motor and drivetrain and accessibility to both OEM and aftermarket parts and accessories. Furthermore, E-Series vans benefit from readily available 4WD conversions from companies such as Northwest Quadvan, Quigley 4×4, Agile Off Road 4×4,…

Overland Classifieds :: Steyr 12M18 Expedition Truck
Military vehicles are cool to look at, but in reality, many are disappointing when it comes to real-world usage. It’s a shame because, on paper, these rugged all-terrain machines make sense for their excellent all-terrain capabilities, huge payloads, and towing capacities. And they’re often sold cheaply when released from military duty. However tempting, in a…
Overland Classifieds :: 2021 Ford F-250 Lariat 6.7-liter Diesel Tremor w/OEV Camp-X
It’s interesting to see so many people opting for full-size trucks recently, despite record gas prices. Economy is just one consideration when choosing an overland platform, and when it comes to rolling homes, it’s arguably not the number one priority. Make no mistake, gas mileage is important. I just spent $607 to cover 800 miles…
Overland Classifieds :: 2010 Land Rover LR4
Land Rover and vehicle overlanding are somewhat synonymous, and while the company may have leaned more towards the luxury market in recent years, they’ve continued to produce class-leading all-terrain vehicles. The LR4 is one such model that successfully blends luxurious comfort with rugged capability. In the past, we’ve shared several expedition-equipped offerings, including this 2013…
Destination :: Holywell Bay, Cornwall, England
There are many reasons to visit the historic county of Cornwall, but it’s arguably the region’s endless golden beaches and world-renowned surf that attracts the vast majority of its visitors. Holywell (or Tregew in Cornish dialect) is one of the county’s most iconic and popular beaches, and for good reason. As a kid I spent…
Overland Classifieds :: 2019 Ford F-150 w/ 2020 FWC Hawk Combo
It’s safe to say that we associate 4WD with overlanding, and while there can be no denying the benefits, it’s generally a bonus rather than a necessity. I think most of us have a rose-tinted Camel Trophy-esque view of vehicle travel, which in our minds, entails battling through thick jungle, fording raging rivers, navigating swamps,…
Overland Classifieds :: 2009 Toyota Tacoma 4×4 TRD Pro Off-Road w/ Super Pacific X1 Wedge
The Tacoma was first introduced to the US market in 1995 as a replacement for the Hilux and promised improved comfort, safety, handling, and ride quality. The result was a truck that retained much of the Hilux’s rugged dependability while showcasing a new level of refinement. This winning formula ensured the Tacoma could continue the…
Overland Classifieds :: 1986 Vokswagen T3 Syncro Westfalia 14-inch Camper
It’s no secret that U.S. Vanagon Syncro prices are getting a little out of control with a recent example being advertised for an eye-watering $175,000. These exaggerated price tags are largely a product of social media, which turned the Vanagon, or T3, into a vanlife icon. It’s not that you’re paying for the vehicle’s overland…
Life Giving Warmth Kodiak Battery Powered Heating Blanket: The Warmth Of A Heating Blanket Without Being Tethered To A Power Cord
Life Giving Warmth was started by Paul and Carolynne LaRue to keep their daughter, Brianna, warm while out on adventures. Brianna has Cerebral Palsy and needs to stay warm because of the poor circulation her disease causes. So out of necessity, Life Giving Warmth was born with the creation of the Cozee, the world’s first-ever…
Overland Classifieds :: Volvo C306 6×6 Expedition Rig
I recently shared this 1983 Pinzgauer 712k 6×6 Overlander and made the point that old military vehicles are generally slow, uneconomical, and uncomfortable—but they’re almost unstoppable when the tarmac ends. While they are unquestionably raw and utilitarian in stock form, there are steps you can take to transform these single-purpose machines into genuinely impressive multi-purpose…
Overland Classifieds :: 2008 Range Rover Supercharged
The Range Rover Supercharged is not the first vehicle that comes to mind when we think about overlanding, but that makes today’s offering all the more interesting. You’re more likely to see this model parked outside a stately home, cruising through London’s Knightsbridge, or driven by a celebrity before you’ll see one being punished on…
The Best of the Late Summer Moto Rallies
There’s still time to get in on late summer motorcycle rallies and rides and soak up the remnants of summer sun before the leaves turn golden and the weather cold, and the west has no shortage of great moto events to choose from. Four Corners Motorcycle Rally The Four Corners Motorcycle Rally is scheduled for…
Overland Classifieds :: 2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road w/ Custom Camper
I know. It’s another Tacoma. Don’t shoot the messenger! The phrase, “If you can’t beat them, join them,” comes to mind. Love or hate this truck, I can honestly say that despite featuring numerous expedition-equipped examples and reading countless online owner reviews, I’ve yet to come across a single horror story. I’m not suggesting the…
Overland Classifieds :: 1994 Toyota Hiace Diesel 4×4 Campervan
The Hiace 4WD is often overlooked when it comes to overland platforms, which is strange considering the vehicle’s fabled reliability and impressive selection of rugged features. That said, we have featured a number of adventure-ready examples, including this 1996 Toyota Hiace 4WD and 1996 3.0-liter 4WD diesel. The Hiace’s reliability is legendary, with many owners…
Overland Classifieds :: 2009 Toyota Tacoma w/ AT Habitat
