...politics are discouraged here, but I hope an exception can be made for this issue, as it strikes so directly at this community.. The current budget reconciliation bill making its way through congress includes a *mandate* to sell roughly 3.3 million acres of public lands across 11 western...

Hey everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve been active but I wanted to hop on share what I’ve been working on lately and why. So my wife and I are about to celebrate 3 years on Jan 22nd and we have a beautiful 4-1/2 month old son. I transitioned from solo overlanding to backpacking with my wife...

So I'm trying to ballpark an overland trailer build vs buying one Set up Vs buying a good bones. Based on this past weekend family camping trip where I was stacked to gills in my gx470 only 30in from home I need room and a roof basket isn't going to do it I'd plan on 15" Rims to put...

...tank and the six foot drawer that slides out the rear but not at that price. Ranchers, contractors, farmers can't be paying that much for a simple flatbed tray, right? Curious if anyone has some recommendations on budget (preferably aluminum) flatbed trays that aren't eye-wateringly expensive?

So, since the Xterra is currently down for rebuilding, the wife and I were discussing the idea of a smaller "Weekender" rig. We're toying with the idea of either a 1st Gen awd Honda CR-V or an older Toyota RAV4 sport. I've found a few of each for a pretty decent price. Just curious, has anyone...

Hi all looking for some advice and interested in reading some ideas. I recently got this small trailer for not very much at all from someone who was just not using it. Without thinking too much of it (because the cost was very low) I picked it up from them. Now where I'm looking for some...

So I moved to San fransisco a couple years ago and had to get rid of my jeep and my camping gear. I’ve recently been itching to get back out on the trails so I’ve begun my rebuilding. My new overlander of choice (or convenience) is a 2004 Subaru forester 2.5X base model. I got it for free from a...

Picked up this Thule trailer from a guys yard for $250 with a clean title. Plan is to strip it down, strengthen the frame, replace the wood floor in the, wheels/tires and lift. Outside will be getting color matched bedliner. It should do well hauling the gear for now and then eventually...

In the interest of sharing and promoting cost effective and (somewhat) creative ideas I thought I would document my budget trailer build here. Recently we were contemplating the purchase of a roof tent to be coupled with our VW Amarok pickup. Initially we were both enthusiastic at the prospect...

So my rig (her name is overland.sally) I purchase her 10 year ago and been building her up since then and seeing what its missing every time we go out. So right now she haves a 2" lift suspension with reinforce spring and shock absorbers in the back a DIY storage system made of 1.2mm wood...

...Apologies if it is in the wrong area! Essentially my question is what's in the title, what vehicle would you choose today If you only had a budget 10K and why? The reason why I'm asking this is because I will be selling my TJ wrangler shortly, so I would like to get into a bigger vehicle...

Hi everyone, I didn’t really see a forum that lead me to think it was about this popular aspect of overlanding. Whether you share it publicly or keep this documenting of memories to yourself, what advice would you give as far as knowing what to capture on your travels. Obviously, the...

Hey guys and gals I posted a new video on my channel about some budget traction boards if anyone is interested in watching. Going to be posting more gear videos in the future! FieryRed Traction boards - https://amzn.to/3r6sCK0

In 2018 I was looking for a daily driver and first overland rig. I had specific criteria in mind: affordable, reliable, and a bit unique. What I found was a Chevrolet Tahoe. Some might say a Tahoe is not unique, but in the world of Pathfinder‘s and 4runner‘s, the Tahoe stands out. I bought my...

For the past few years I have been running my ARB Fridge off a single battery in my Jeep. Normally we can go for about two days comfortably before the Jeep needs to be started to recharge the battery. With a new long trip in the planning stages I decided it was time to add some solar power to my...

...feel the need to spent the money on something like AEV's skids, so the GM offerings will do me just fine. I know some of you are thinking "budget build?!" and everything is relative, but yes in my eyes, when compared to the full builds I've seen, this is a budget build (Not including the...

...off and paint it black for extra stealth, but it works for now. Best part about this setup is that when I'm ready to remove the roof top box I just buzz out four bolts from the inside of the box and leave the captured nuts in place in the channel for next time. Happy budget overlanding everyone!

Starting my overlanding journey with a 96 F150 build. Money is an object so, I'm doing most of it myself. I have built a drawer system in the bed. I have a 26 yo hard top shell. I just received my Kenda Kleaver k29 33s and my BDS 4in lift is coming. I'm interested in any advice or suggestions...
