Oddball overlanding rigs!

[Autism Family Travels]

Hey people,

I want to see peoples Oddball rigs. Things that can but usually are not associated with overlanding rigs. stuff like a kia Borrego, chevy trailblazer, a Toyota highlander and stuff like that. The more modded the better. The overland sites are RIPE with JK's, land rovers, etc. I like the idea of the lesser rigs getting out and dirty with adventures!

Theres a lady building a 93 ford festiva in the build thread section.

I think I kinda fall into this class. My current rig is a 1995 Hmmwv.



One day I would love to build out my LMTV into a camping rig.

I bet taking a long sweeping turn at any speed I’ve 5 mph is like a near death experience.

Is this oddball enough for you?

2005 Hyundai Tucson with zero overlanding/4wd/aftermarket support (all I've really done to it is the led lightbar, led foglights, 17" wheels with 235/60-17 Toyo Open Country allterrains).

Our very own @TinTop Camper has an absolutely badass Suzuki Samurai rig. Not gonna lie, I'm quite jelly.

1986 Dodge Ramcharger. 0 aftermarket support. I have built all from scratch.

To me it’s not odd, but many think so. Put the project on hold for six months though due to a house that destroyed everything to complete the build besides the van. Thankful I didn’t lose it.

 

[CR-Venturer]

That is a sweet van. Those approach and departure angles are brilliant. Just need some serious rocks sliders and I'd say that bad boy would go anywhere. Sorry to hear about your misfortune, I hope you're able to get it back on track soon.

Love the rigs. This thread just proves you can really use ANYTHING to get out in the back country. NO, you wont be doing hardcore rock crawling, but you can get around pretty much anywhere in any rig. Imagination is KEY!

 

[Joey83]

Not everyone wants to go rock crawling :)

Do what you can with what you've got.

Not sure where you are looking but there are tons of aftermarket parts for ramchargers including countless lift kits, bumpers, and performance engine upgrades.

If Lone Wolf McQuade aka Chuck Norris can modify one in the 80s I think it can be done today.

Here is mine. 04 Chevy Trailblazer. Just like you asked, haha.
