Thanks to Columbia Overland

[Brian McVickers]

Expedition Portal would like to thank Columbia Overland for becoming a Title Sponsor of ExPo's Land Rover section!

Columbia Overland, a premier, full-service facility in Bend, Oregon provides repair and maintenance, as well as accessory installation and upgrades. While the company roots are in the Land Rover community, they are excited to have expanded their service and product line to include Toyota, Jeep and all other 4x4’s. With humble beginnings in 2007, their original product line, formerly sold under the name LG Industries, was born with the goal to simply build a better skid plate. With the passion to manufacture products that improve a four-wheel drive vehicle’s design, reliability, durability and practicality, their custom Rhino Hardware product line has further evolved to include an array of Bumpers, Dual Battery Trays, Door Panels, Jerry Can Holders and Rocksliders. They continue to improve their products with focus on the development of new accessories that further enable the best off-road experience.
Located in Bend Oregon, Columbia Overland features a retail shop as well as a mechanical shop for servicing vehicles, designing new ideas and doing product installs.

A sister company to Colubia Rovers in Portland, Colubia Overland has been built upon years of professional service and working knowlege of several vehicle makes and models.

If you're in Bend be sure to stop by their shop and if your not you can still visit their fully stocked online retail site.

Here are a few pictures of some of the products designed by the Columbia Overland team!

Just a shout-out to Columbia Overland:

On three occasions I ping'd you about different parts you had for sale, and received prompt replies each time. But I never ordered anything.

Recently I needed some basic driving lights and a recovery strap -- I shopped around a little bit and found your prices to be very competitive. The shipping was higher than I would've liked (25% of total order), but I understand fuel costs are up across the board. Remembering my positive communications with you earlier, I decided you guys were a good bet and placed my order. I got my invoice quickly and when I had a question about it you responded less than two minutes later via email.

Well done; you've earned another repeat customer. It's that kind of service that keeps us coming back to smaller business like yours!

I wanted to add another compliment to the Columbia Overland collection.

I took the ex-Scott Brady/James Roy Tacoma out for a drive in the Tillamook today and it worked "best ever." Much of the credit goes to Columbia Overland.

The truck has always been great, but after 96K miles of high-grade expeditioning, it had gotten a little sloppy. Columbia Overland did a great job for me, replacing the lower control arm bushings, installing a new steering rack, taking care of worn-out shocks and resetting the suspension, chasing some electrical issues, and some other tasks. All is excellent now and the truck drives exceptionally well.

Columbia Overland did a fine job, with excellent communication throughout, and it's good to have them as a resource in the Northwest.

Thanks for the kind compliments.

LtFuzz, we have some shipping estimate issues with our current website. Due to this and other issues we've encountered during our first year we will be completely redesigning it in the coming weeks around a new eCommerce site that will hopefully be much easier to navigate and give us the ability to list all of our products on it with accurate shipping and much better customer service including the ability to obtain order information online.

I have their gas tank Skid plate and the Rear Door inside stainless skin. They were shipped super fast and were great to deal with. Got mine from the Portland shop before they opened the one in Bend. But I am sure they both have the great level of customer service and support!

RRC bumper and Skidplate

I just installed a Columbia Overland rear bumper and fuel tank skid plate on my 1995 RRC today.
The Bumper, A+; The bumper is very nicely made. The fabrication and powder coating are outstanding. It installed easily with a little bit of hole reaming with a die grinder to align a couple of holes. No big deal for a very nice stout bumper.
The skid plate, A+; The skid plate went on very easily and looks to be very well made, great fit and very stout. Much better than the stock small skid plate.
Delivery was amazingly fast and super cheap. I got the items in 4 business days.
Thanks a lot Columbia Overland! Fernando
