Historical Overland Routes Created by Military Exploration That You Can Rediscover Today
Across the globe, a number of historic overland routes owe their origins to military endeavors. Often forged in response to logistical, strategic, or imperial needs, these routes connected remote regions, facilitated troop movement, or supported colonial administration. Remarkably, many of these once-militarized paths have endured as practical and even popular routes for modern overland travelers,…

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee :: Classifieds
The Grand Cherokee is perhaps not the first vehicle that comes to mind when we think about overlanding, but that’s not to say it’s unsuitable for the job.

2008 Lexus GX 470 :: Classifieds
The Lexus GX 470 is a popular overland vehicle on the forum, with recent offerings including this 2004, 2006, and 2008.

Ford introduced the F-Series in 1948 and for almost half a century has sold more pickups in the US than any competitor (it’s also one of the best selling vehicles in the world).

From Fear to Fascination: Overlanding the United States-Mexico Border
I sat down and took a deep breath, desperately trying to clear my nerves. Our Zoom call gave a soft chime as parents and teachers logged on one by one.

1986 Mercedes Unimog U1300L :: Featured Classified
I don’t use the word bargain lightly, but today’s Unimog (61,969 miles) is exactly that. Although $125,000 is no small sum of money, it’s an impressive value for a fully outfitted and overland-proven expedition truck (heck, that’s half the price of many off-the-shelf Sprinter 4×4 builds). It’s as much a home as it is a…
