My last toy was an older Subaru Forester. 2" lift, bash plates, roof basket. It was fun, but kinda fragile.

I've been looking for some H1 overlanding buddies! Unfortunately, I just moved from Washington to SoCal. I just rebuilt my dad's H1 that he drove all over North and South America. I'm just starting to outfit it with overlanding gear (rooftop tent, etc.) . Maybe I'll find myself by in Washington one of these days.

I just found an importer in Christiansburg, VA that has a bunch of these. If I didn't buy a new Jeep Gladiator, I would definitely consider one. I think it is really cool and unique.

I wish I had more shots from his amazing trip. I only have a few print outs that I've scanned. These are all taken in Brazil I think except for the one in the snow which was somewhere in Patagonia. He drove it to Prudhoe Bay (from Los Angeles) then turned around and drove to Terra Del Fuego. He spent about 18 months driving all over North and South America. He slept inside the truck when he was in remote places. You can see the extra fuel tanks he had on top of it back then. Each of those was 15 gallons according to my brother who drove some of the trip in South America. With those and the two internal tanks he could carry ~115 gallons of fuel so it gave him ~1100 miles of range. Lots of weight on top of that thing.
Sadly, he's declining into Alzheimer's and I haven't been able to find more of the photos.

I'm glad your Dad was able to complete his dream trip!! A trip like that is something I look forward to in retirement - or win the lottery...!

Since I didn't see any others across the first 10 pages I reckon it's not a typical overland vehicle. Pajero 4.
While I have moved on, I will always remember my 2004 Honda Element fondly. I think it may be the most underrated vehicle of all time. My Swiss army car as I called it. Makes for a great overland rig. Here are some pics from its adventures and mods.
