Budget Overlanding: Neil’s DIY 1998 Toyota Tacoma Adventure Rig

Overland Tacoma built on a budget.

The budget built Tacoma parked in a grass field.

One of the questions we see most is: “Can you overland X vehicle?” Well, we at Tread say that Overlanding by definition is vehicle-based adventure travel – so whatever you want to do, see, and adventure, there’s always a vehicle that can suit your needs. No one ever said that you need a $100,000 rig to drive a fire service road when there are plenty of videos all over YouTube of vehicles like Kia Sorrentos and Ford Crown Victorias tackling Moab. So really it comes down to two things: Where are you going and how do you want to get there? Neil of @bwildjournals on instagram is a healthy reminder that you can do whatever you want on a budget with a little determination and some ingenuity with a totally stock 1998 Toyota Tacoma. Check out the video below to explore the details of Neil’s Budget Built Tacoma overlander.
