Pelican's Roto-Molded BX Cargo Cases Make Overlanding Gear Storage A Breeze.

Pelican’s versatile storage options have made them a legendary name when it comes to protection and packing, offering buyers some of the finest, most durable cases, covers, and systems for gear. But, as time goes on, their most sought-after variants have become a bit outdated. Luckily, the beginning of 2020 is the perfect time to make some changes — and the company’s BX Cargo Case Collection reflects that mindset.

Pelican’s protective cases are renowned for their hard-wearing construction, and the BX Cargo lineup is no different. Thanks to a weather-resistant, roto-molded construction, each storage unit has been thoroughly tested to withstand the world’s harshest climates, conditions, and inhibitors. Corrosion-resistant hardware adorns the exterior of Pelican’s new line, while proprietary systems tailored to each specific model of vehicle, heavy-duty handles, and integrated tie-down plates make mounting easier than ever. Whether you’re looking for a large container for all of your outdoor gear or a small, subtle case that’s perfect for pint-sized peripherals, the company’s BX line has what you need.

RIDES: The 2018 Jeep Wrangler 'Badlands' Overlander Has A Built-In Hardshell Rooftop Tent.

The Jeep Wrangler is already one of the best off-road 4×4 SUVs you can buy. But that hasn’t stopped people from further transforming it in some incredible ways. One of our favorites, though, is the fully-loaded 4-person 2018 Badlands from American Fastbacks.

The power plant of the Badlands hasn’t been altered, but there are some other notable performance changes — including a MOPAR suspension lift, Fox shocks, new 20″ wheels with beefy all-terrain tires, a roof-mounted LED light bar, and a Superwinch EXP front-end winch. Of course, in order to be a proper overlander, it also needed some upgraded amenities, which it has in spades. For starters, it boasts a two-person hardshell rooftop tent, as well as a secondary in-cab sleeping space (with mats) for another two people. It also comes with a 12 V fridge, a two-burner propane stove, a stainless steel sink, and more.

Reach out to American Fastbacks for more info on pricing and availability.

RIDES: 2019 Volkswagen Amarok AT35 By Arctic Trucks.

For those not aware, the Icelandic vehicle customizers at Arctic Trucks have made a name for themselves by building winter-conquering 4x4s perfect for the frozen north. In fact, it was one of their trucks driven to the North Pole by the gents at Top Gear. Now, they’re back with another snow-going build in their 2019 Volkswagen Amarok AT35.

As you might expect from a brand with a reputation like the one earned by Arctic Trucks, their first go at VW’s already-capable Amarok pickup truck is a doozy. For starters, they lifted it at both the front and rear, and equipped it with flared wheel arches to suit new ginormous all-terrain tires, and gave the bed a cover to turn it into a more habitable area safe from the elements.

That tail end is also equipped with a wealth of winter-ready onboard adventure gear, including a generator, fire extinguisher, defibrillator first aid kit, and even a cappuccino machine. Still equipped with the original low-HP, yet very capable, 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine, this Bavarian Behemoth is ready for the coldest of expeditions.

GEAR: Nestbox Transforms Your Car Into A Camper With A Kitchen & Foldable Bed.

Shelling out loads of cash for a brand new camper probably isn’t in your budget after all the holiday shopping. However, if you’re itching to spend more time outdoors, the Nestbox is just what you need to turn your vehicle into a camp-capable backcountry cruiser.

The Nestbox can be inserted easily into the trunk of your vehicle in just five minutes. It provides you with convenient compartments for water, cookers, and a fridge, as well as two drawers and textile bags. It comes with a sleeping grate and hydrophobic mattress, two cooker heads, and your choice of a water module canister or an integrated submersible pump.

You can choose from three variations of the Nestbox: the medium version called the Tripper, the off-road Supertramp model, and the largest version dubbed the Roamer. The Nestbox is compatible with a variety of vehicles, including the Ford Transit Custom, Volkswagen T6, Peugeot Traveller, and more.

GEAR: The 10 Best Rooftop Camping Tents.

Even if you’re camping at a designated and groomed campsite, there are unenviable risks that come along with it. For starters, you’re stuck with finding a patch of ground suitable for laying upon that doesn’t have too many bumps or divots. Secondly, you’re at the mercy of mother nature when it comes to weather and wildlife — meaning you could wake up in a puddle of mud or have a late-night visit from a nocturnal predator. The list just keeps going on and on. Of course, if you’re going on an adventure with a capable off-road vehicle, there’s another option: rooftop tents.

There are a huge number of benefits to rooftop tents that just aren’t found with ground-ready counterparts. For instance, many of them are designed to pop right up in minutes or less, so you can set up your sleeping area with little-to-no effort. Similarly, they elevate you off the ground and out of the reach of the effects of flooding and wandering woodland creatures. Finally, they can offer views of the landscape you might not otherwise be able to appreciate. Whatever your reasoning for getting one, the following are the ten best rooftop camping tents you can buy.

Yakima Skyrise Rooftop Tent
Known for their rooftop racking systems and cargo gear, Yakima also offers one of the best budget-friendly rooftop tents on the market. Actually a series, the Skyrise — depending upon the size you purchase — can fit up to three people inside comfortably (with a weight limit of 600 pounds). It’s designed for 3-to-4-season camping, has a 2.5″ thick foam mattress built-right-in, and can be attached or removed from your vehicle’s roof simply — thanks to compatibility with the brand’s SpeedClamp Universal Roof Rack. It’s also compatible with a wealth of the brand’s accessories, including an annex expansion room, their kayak rack, and so much more.

Smittybilt 2883 Overland Tent
An impressive budget-friendly option, the Smittybilt 2883 Overland Tent is less like a compact sleeper and more like a massive on-the-go loft, as it can fit up to a family of four inside with room to spare. And that’s not including the space beneath the waterproof awning. Pair that with the fact that it also comes complete with its own high-density foam mattress, telescoping ladder, universal rack-mounting system, rain fly, LED lighting strip with a cigarette lighter power adapter, and more, and this is one of the best bang-for-your-buck options we’ve ever seen.

Tepui Baja Series Kukenam 3 Tent
Tepui’s Baja Series rooftop tents stand apart from the rest of their offerings based on one included technology: a patented Zipper Gimp that attaches the canopy to the base which can be interchanged to suit the conditions you’re set to face. And that lends quite a bit of versatility to this offering. It comes with a mesh shade canopy, perfect for hot and humid weather, and a detachable rainfly for when the weather turns foul. Other canopies can be purchased for an additional cost. This tent also houses up to three people, comes with a universal roof rack system, a high-density foam mattress, a telescoping ladder, and mosquito netting on all windows and doors.

Tuff Stuff Ranger Overland Rooftop Tent
Another spacious and relatively-inexpensive option on our list, the Tuff Stuff Ranger rooftop camping tent is the only one that comes standard with an annex room add-on, so you’ve got your sleeping space and a changing room without having to shell out any extra cash. Of course, it also comes with a 2.5″ high-density foam mattress, a folding ladder, an all-aluminum frame, and its own universal roof racking system. And the whole package is water-, mold-, and UV-resistant, so you can stay safe and comfortable in any weather. It’s not the fanciest option on our list, but the long list of features and ease-of-use make it a bargain at this price.

CVT Mt. Rainier Rooftop Camping Tent
One of the most expandable soft-sized options on our list, CVT’s Mt. Rainier rooftop camping tent boasts a baseline format that’s good for 3+ sleepers at any given time. And even the cheapest model comes with an included annex/changing room, so you can get dressed out of the view of other campers while staying safe from the weather, as well. The exterior is also resistant to mold, UV rays, and boasts weatherproofing to keep you dry in the rain or snow. That weatherproofing is bolstered by an included rainfly that features taped-seams and a PU coating to keep the water out entirely. And with an overall capacity of 750 pounds matched by a total weight of just 195, this tent is perfect for a whole overlanding party.

Trail Runner: 8 Best Off-Road Truck Upgrades For Beginners.

It’s a crazy world out there and in order to disintegrate the side-effects of our stressful lives, we all participate in our own versions of self-care. For some, this might mean a relaxing run after the workday, healthy dinner at night, or a special weekend getaway. While this might sound like a wondrous idea for the tame of heart, for others, the promised land might mean taking to the trails in a 4×4 vehicle to test their resolve — challenging the will of nature and making it to the peak of their favorite mountainous retreat. Hard work decidedly pays off, but in order to get there, you’ll have to invest in some burly off-road upgrades to ensure that your trek goes as smoothly as possible. But where do you start? That’s where we come in.

Aside from purely aesthetic reasoning, the majority of drivers tend to realize that outdoor-oriented additions to their vehicles are an absolute necessity — whether it be a better lighting setup for late night returns, winch capability for those tough situations where you need a little help getting out of a rut, or an upgraded suspension that will give you the travel you need to push you over that next big obstacle. The truth is, more and more brands are hopping into the industry for a shot at marketable exposure, and while an exceedingly high number of parts and modifications might seem like the best option, it takes time, effort, and research to build your first off-road vehicle exactly the way you want it. To augment this daunting process, we’ve compiled some of the best choices in the industry regarding the first upgrades you should make to your trail-faring truck — from enhanced suspensions and knobby tires, intense lift kits, and modular roof racks, all the way to outdoor staples like winches and lighting solutions. So step out of the realm of normality and take to the backroads with our guide to the top off-road truck upgrades for beginners — after you’re done, you’ll never fear a challenging ascent again.

This Overlanding Land Rover Defender Is The Off-Grid 4x4 Camper Of Your Dreams.

Undoubtedly, virtually any iteration of the Land Rover Defender is a solid off-roading machine. But, for longer trips, they can be a bit cramped and uncomfortable. Luckily, the folks at Matzker have come along and remedied that with their overlanding-ready Land Rover Defender 110 ‘MDX Expeditionsmobil.’

Built around a 2.2 td4 engine — which is capable, if a bit lacking in the power department — this 4×4 rig has everything you need to get off the grid for long periods of time. Of course, that starts with the pop-top camper on the back, which boasts plenty of storage, a two-burner stove, separate sleeping and sitting areas, and a whole lot more. Of course, the exterior has gotten some appearance and performance upgrades as well, like a roof rack over the cab (which houses a spare all-terrain tire, as well as a storage box), a front-end winch to help get you out of sticky situations, a snorkel intake, overhead spotlights mounted to a roll cage, etc. It’s likely that this is a one-off project, but we’re willing to bet — for the right price — they’ll happily build another.

Nomad Vanz Will Build The Bespoke Adventure Vehicle Of Your Dreams.

Though not exactly commonplace, there are a number of brands that offer up solid and reliable adventure vans. But they don’t always have all the options you might want or need. The folks at Nomad Vanz, however, have got you more than covered because they’ll build you a bespoke expedition vehicle from the ground-up.

Each and every one of their builds starts with a discussion — that way, they can learn exactly what you’re looking for and help build the adventure van of your dreams. Most are based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (the industry standard), though there are some exceptions if you’re averse to that idea. And while there are a lot of custom bits, there are a few across-the-board consistencies — like fully-featured cozy modern interiors, resistance to extreme cold and heat, UV-proofing, and antibacterial properties to protect from moisture and mildew. Nomad Vanz also prides themselves in using exceptional materials (both inside and out), meticulous attention to detail, and the fact that their vans are perfect for 4-season living across landscapes normal campers just can’t handle. Contact the brand for information on pricing and availability.

Maltec Will Transform Your Land Cruiser Into The Ultimate Overlander.

There are plenty of folks out there who would make the claim that Toyota’s Land Cruiser is the best Japanese 4×4 ever made, if not the best all-around. But unless you’re fine with cramped quarters and an exceedingly short list of accommodations, they’re not great for more than a couple days of off-grid travel at a time. Of course, that can be extended exponentially courtesy of Maltec and their Maltexplorer conversion packages.

Available for five of Toyota’s best Land Rover trims — the Series 200, Series 7 extended wheelbase, Series 7 “troopy,” Series 7 double cab, and Series 80 — each of these customization packages build upon the existing 4x4s in all their glory, but upgrade them for extended overlanding adventure. Depending upon the build, that includes things like a new carbon fiber camper on the tail end (with sleeping, storage, bathroom, and kitchen accouterments), upgraded performance equipment (for the drivetrain, suspension, and chassis), and a good deal more. And if you’re not fond of the Land Cruiser, they also have alternative builds based on the Mercedes-Benz G-Series and Land Rover’s Defender.

Pricing starts at $165,000 — including the donor vehicle.

Customize The World's Best Rooftop Tent With Over 250 Color Options.

When it comes to rooftop tents, those made by James Baroud are undoubtedly some of the best in the world. Sure, they’re pricey, but they’re also easy to use, extremely durable, roomy, and handsome as hell. What’s even better, though, is that they’re now just a bit more customizable.

Originally offered in just white, black, and gray, James Baroud’s entire catalog of hardshell rooftop tents is now color-customizable — meaning you can now match them to your vehicle or add a little pop of color to your 4×4 overlanding loadout. Utilizing RAL color codes, customers can now choose from over 250 different color options. Handbuilt in Portugal from super durable and lightweight fiberglass, these rooftop tents have their custom colors applied via a dyed protective gel coat that’s a good deal more durable than standard paint. The custom paint starts at $550 over the base price of the tents.
