10 of The Best Overlanding Podcasts
The value of a good podcast is so underrated. They’re great for those of us who are always in the car… Our playlists get old every now and again, and we love the chance to learn more and get new ideas from fellow overlanders. Overland podcasts are awesome, but there are so many to choose from. How do you know which one to listen to? Check out this list for some of our favorite picks!
Last year, we got to check out some of the top overland and offroad builds at SEMA. We're heading back next week to see this year's coolest rigs, newest products, and greatest vehicle upgrades. Stay tuned on YouTube for this year's coverage!
Let’s start off the beginning of a new year right but updating the look of our rigs. One surefire way of giving our trucks, old or new, a personalized look is by swapping out its wheels. Not only does a wheel upgrade increase the trail appeal of your vehicle, but it can often times increase its performance potential, as well. With so many aftermarket wheels available, it can be a challenge to choose just one set. To make your choice a bit easier, we gathered the latest releases for you to check out on this page. Which set of performance-enhancing wheels will you choose?
Aggressive Off-Road Tires: Toyo Open Country R/T Trail Review
Let us introduce you to the Toyo Open Country R/T Trail. This new rugged-terrain tire slots directly between the Toyo R/T and Toyo A/T III. The R/T Trail is directly aimed at off-road tire buyers that want the looks of a mud-terrain with the on-road manners of an all-terrain, and don’t need a three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMS) rating. Toyo’s top-selling tires are the Open Country light truck and SUV lineup. Currently, that is the A/T III, R/T, and M/T. We have no doubt that the new Toyo R/T Trail tires will be a hot seller in a wide range of markets, as they provide an impressive middle ground of aggressive on- and off-road performance along with impressive good looks.
Martín Reginato’s builds have graced these pages before, and you’ve likely seen this fully loaded unique Troop Carrier online, through the @DakarTundra Instagram account. The Lexus Troopy made its public debut at Overland Expo West and in its fully completed form in Vegas for SEMA Show 2021. This overland machine is Reginato’s interpretation of what a classic Toyota 70 Series Land Cruiser Troop Carrier would look like if it had rolled out of the factory wearing Lexus badging. And, of course, fully up-fitted with all the overland and off-road goodies one could buy.
Rhino Rack's Pioneer Platform Roof Top Storage Solution
We don’t know about you, but, when we pack our truck to head out on our next adventure, we pack to the brim. We’re also busy people, so we take our time to pack. It drives our families crazy – as soon as we’ve got everything cleaned up and stored away from our last adventure, out it all comes again. We regularly commandeer the dining room table and garage to lay out all of our gear, food, and other camping needs. On this trip, though, taking our time worked in our advantage. When we realized we had too much stuff, we had the time to get our hands on some much-needed roof top storage in the form of a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Rack.
