I think a 2006 Dodge Caravan qualifies as "not your typical overland vehicle"

We call it the "Overland Minivan"

So I'm not the only one overloading with a Caravan! 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan running KO2's, K&N filter, Roof Rack w/ 384 watt Light Bar, Bearcat 880 CB Radio & more to come...

I see your Ladder is Red was it an option or did you have it painted? I would be very interested in knowing what website offers the ladder?

I custom made everything on there.. not a whole lot of options for the Sequoia.. I think Gobi makes a ladder that attaches to the rear hatch and comes down the rear.

Here’s a little encouragement to those folks delaying adventure because they don’t have that ultimate Landcruiser or Land Rover expedition rig.

Not only do you not need an ultimate rig, some plucky adventurers have proven you don’t even need a 4x4. Hell, you don’t even need 4 wheels!

It’s a 4 part write up. The sweet, sweet taste of encouragement in every byte!!!

These articles were written by Landcrusing folks who have been non-stop overlanding since 2003.

Heed their words of wisdom.

Here is my not so common rig, although they are growing in popularity. Subaru’s do very well in mild off-roading, snow, and mud. View attachment 95145View attachment 95146View attachment 95147View attachment 95148

That is a beautiful truck.

Thank you! I grew up riding shotgun in this truck with my father when we would go wood cutting. It is an old farm truck and some of the work done in it's past shows.

If I had 30k I would consider buying this military M1161 Growler. View attachment 95751

I think this is my first post, but here is our non-typical rig. It's currently getting a bunch of needed repairs, which is driving me nuts because I want to be camping lol.

I have a 2006 Jeep Commander that might qualify for this thread. I don't see many people using them for overland but they are fantastic off-road. Mine has the Quadra-Drive II option, a 4x4 system developed by Eaton which entails a low-range transfer case and auto locking diffs (mechanical).

As much as I love to see fully fixed up Tacoma's, 4Runners, f150's ect. I am actually more interested in the not so typical rigs.

I Myself have been contemplating for over a year now doing a small build on my 2006 Mariner Hybrid AWD. Mainly because it gets 30mpg and I because its just plain different. I did see an article way back of a Hybrid Escape (which is basically the same thing) doing the Mojave RD.

So lets see them!
