Haven started this thread 3 years ago and we only have very few examples that claim they are customized enough to be an overlander. How many on here have looked over and over expecting to find some newer examples? The fact is most of the customizing takes place in the truck platform, not the camper part. A common thread seems to be ditching the factory pickup bed and replacing it with a custom flatbed and side cabinets for more long-term storage. The final thing which all these have in common is a willful cashechtomy and desire and dream to upgrade the factory style lashup to match that dream. With that in mind here are a few from my collection:
1. Bryan's.....BKA's 4WD full time home. F-550, 16.5 winch, solar power to the max, trailer with motorcycles and batteries to store the solar power. He's had no land line or stick home for 7 years. Almost all boondocking and stealth living. This is his 2 weeks of 'pay site' for the year: Sunset campground, Death Valley.
Mormon Lake, AZ:
2. Brian's 4WD Chevy 4500 with similarly large Lance. He also travels with a motorcycle. Last i heard, he was full-timing in this:
3. Ron's 416 Unimog, Fuerewagon cum '72 Alaskan on a Jeep trip in the Sierra Nevada. He goes everywhere the tricked out jeeps go. As a kid, his favorite toy was a Unimog fire truck in cast pot metal. Apparently, he never grew out of it. I don't have a pic in the 'down' position:
4. jefe's XTC.
I'm the only one who has a factory metal pickup bed. Almost all upgrades were made to the truck with constant, off-road adjustments made to the tie downs.
