build

Hey everyone, I am extremely new to mods/builds, etc, and am new to pretty much everything with vehicles as I mostly have lived where I could bus, or had a beater car. So I've been doing some research on modifications/upgrades for my '11 4Runner. But before I get into that, maybe I should...

Hello all, I am working on my build of a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I would like to see how everyone who is running a Jeep Wrangler has built theirs, parts used, specs, fab work, and if its a daily driver or not.

Thought it was high time I started my own build thread here to track progress on my 2003 WJ Overland. This is my first: Jeep, overlanding vehicle, and vehicle I'm modifying away from stock. I bought this Jeep off Craigslist and the previous owner had already done a few modifications to it. It...

Hey all! I am in the process of building my daily into a proper overlander. It will be slow going, but hopefully can make some serious progress over this winter. My most recent addition is the bull bar and the offroad light. I ran out of time last night, but planning on getting it all...

So after much deliberation the decision is to keep the good old Ford Ranger and use it for the build. So now I get to start a build thread (The son and I are pretty excited about this) to keep track of the progress. I will also be starting a post on my blog ( www.followingharvey.com ) to...

Here is my plan for my 2006 Xterra Build. If I can stop breaking things long enough to move on to the build phase... For my purposes I want something that I can eventually drive to Alaska. I want to enjoy moderate trails, nothing as intense as the Rubicon. I have a vision for my build to keep...

Moving from a built 09 JKU on Prorock 60"s and 40"s to a 17 JKU Rubicon Recon more geared towards overlanding. I decided on the Recon since it has the upgraded Dana 44 front axle over the normal Rubicon which I wouldn't have to worry about the C's bending and doing alot of work to strengthen...

Hey Guys! I picked up my new T4R last night, and I am excited to be part of a community that has taught me so much. This will be a very slow build, but I will post in here often. I am going to be treating this more like a thread for my 4Runner and all the things we do in it, in addition to the...

Hey guys, bought this a while back, finally getting the time and resources to start building it. 1991 Nissan Pathfinder SE. VG30 V6 with 228k 5 speed, 4wheel drive. Swapped out the non functioning electric doors for manual ones, and just got some new tires. Next up is fluids change, and a new...

So the last weekend in January I drove to Vancouver, WA to visit my son and his family and to buy my new Overland vehicle, a silver Subaru Outback 2.5i from Gresham Subaru in Oregon. On Monday I got the car, went to my son’s home to load it up for the trip back to SoCal the next morning. After...

I am not posting this thread to get a clear winner, I know ultimately this is base on my needs and only I can decide that. I am posting this to hear ideas, experiences, and maybe cautions. I want to hear what you love, what you would have done differently in retrospect. So here's where I am at...

Hi everybody! This thread will be a photo diary of the overland build of our 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro (CrewMax). We'll be using it for adventuring all over the American West. Currently it is a stock-ish TRD Pro, which means upgraded shocks and springs, skid plates, and ss dual exhaust, among...

I though I'd share the progress I've made on m 2015 Jeep Patriot build. I want five things out of the build. First, I'm trying to do it on a budget; second, I want to be able to safely explore backcountry locations; third, I want to be able to adventure with little preparation; fourth, I...

Username: CapeXterra Intro: I've only had this rig since Nov. of 2015. Purchased it to replace my previous rig that had seen much better days. My thoughts were this is a much more capable rig than its predecessor an 03 Trailblazer with a 3" lift. I needed something for hauling my 3 kids and...

Hey guys! I've been working on my '01 Tacoma for a few years now and figured that I should share the build here for others to see. The Tacoma has been on a few trips, and I'm still learning more and more about the Tacoma every day. If you want to read from the beginning when the truck was still...

So this is a build of a 1985 RamCharger. This will be a slow build, and the intent is to turn it into a launchpad for all of our travels and adventures. I have been gathering pieces here and there for years and am finally going to put them all into this build. Simultaneously, I will be...

Hey guys! So I've been working on TheSkiingJeep for a while now as an Overlanding build, and have stuck mostly to the Jeep forums and my own social media pages, but it is about time that I expanded out into the world a little bit more, learned some more, and reached a few more people with what...

In May of 2014 I purchased a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport S. At this time I wasn’t really familiar with Overlanding nor offroad vehicles. A buddy of mine had purchased a Toyota Tacoma a couple months before and to keep up I upgraded my Compass to a Wrangler. Prior to purchasing my...
