After Overland Expo East, I immediately turned my attention to one of my favorite fall adventures, fishing for native brook trout.

Comfort was built in from the start. @Breeo, @Jetboil, @PittmanOutdoors, @Taruca_USA and @TRAVOCA.US round out the 2026 Ultimate Overland Vehicle with everything you need once you arrive. Smokeless nights around the fire, hot meals after a long day, a mattress built for real rest, an awning and shower enclosure for shade and privacy, and a cooler that keeps food fresh miles from the store.
Rugged truck by day, cozy camp by night.
Come fall, this build crosses the Bring a Trailer auction block—with every dollar going to the @OverlandExpoFoundation.
What`s your must-have for a comfortable camp?
...
Built different—because the destination demands it.
@offgridtrailers designs, builds and tests its adventure trailers in North America for the terrain true overlanders explore. Rugged construction, four-season capability and purpose-built off-road systems create a dependable basecamp that can follow the adventure beyond the pavement.
The goal isn’t simply getting a trailer through the trail. It’s giving explorers the confidence to go farther, stay longer and discover what awaits at the other end.
Capability must be earned.

Navy diver. Underwater photographer. Land Rover builder. He`s rebuilding a 1984 Land Rover 110 V8 and a 1971 Santana Series 2A, and he still makes time to dive WWII crash sites with Project Recover.
Oh, and that dive watch he designed? Sold out in 24 hours.
Catch him and his Series 2A at the Zarges USA booth at Overland Expo East. Come talk Rovers, diving and everything in between.

The absolute best way to deploy @Pro_Eagle`s Off-Road Jack Stands 2.0 is directly underneath a lifted rig, securely suspending it high in the air during heavy trail maintenance.
Frankly, trusting a massive overland vehicle to generic car stands is a terrifyingly bad idea. By utilizing these wide-base, six-ton rated steel supports equipped with grip-enhancing Topography Pads, overlanders can safely execute extreme repairs on unpredictable terrain.
This uncompromising security profoundly enhances adventure, ensuring drivers spend zero time worrying about equipment failure and all their energy getting back to exploring the wild.

You`ve been there. You reach for your jack in soft sand or deep mud, and it just sinks right when you need it most. Our latest Industry Spotlight features Pro Eagle, the off-road jack built to solve exactly that. 🛻
Every @pro_eagle jack features an integrated skid plate that helps keep it from sinking, plus extensions that reach high-clearance frames up to 35.5 inches. Founders Austin Su and Chuck Foreman couldn`t find a real jack for heavy-duty rigs back in 2011, so they built their own.
