“Ninety-five percent of Expedition Overland viewers will never be able to drive the length of the Pan-American Highway, but our videos could inspire them to unplug and leave civilization behind for an adventure.”

Lexus has just revealed a heavily modified version of its GX SUV that is perfect for those that want to do some overlanding while retaining at least a modicum of luxuriousness.

While you might see plenty of first-gen GXs rocking light bars and knobby tires, it's pretty rare to see a brand new GX fully kitted out with off-road gear.

Yet here comes Toyota’s luxury division, charging out of the blue with what could well be the greatest automaker-made overlanding rig we’ve ever seen: The Lexus GXOR Concept.

This truck's so well equipped for trekking continents, however, that Lexus might have expanded the full meaning of GXOR to Gone eXtremely Off Road.

To all of the GX enthusiasts that use their rigs to escape on epic adventures, and proudly share the #GXOR, this concept build is for you. Thank you for inspiring us to Experience Amazing.

There were Jeep Gladiators all over the show, but few could hold a candle to the impressive full-featured build that XOverland put together.

Expedition Overland, for example, has made a habit of reforming the industry’s most interesting platforms into monstrous, masculine visages of their former selves — and this 2019 Jeep Gladiator is no different.

Odin initially followed in the tyre tracks of several other Expedition Overland rigs but was taken to the next level, built to handle even the most extreme conditions. As the most capable Gladiator in the Jeep range, this 2020 Rubicon Edition was the perfect platform to build from.

“As Expedition Overland founder Clay Croft tells it, this project has been the dream build he and his team have been thinking about for years. It's truly inspiring and showcases the full potential of the well proven Tundra full size pickup.”

“As we are prone to do, we have once again lured another beautiful truck into our garage. This time we managed to wrangle the keys out of the hands of Clay Croft, the chief instigator behind Expedition Overland.”

“The team over at Expedition Overland explore some of the most remote places in North America and now Central America in a new expedition.”

Expedition Overland has inspired thousands of people to get out there and explore the world around them. They have also spurred the birth of countless overland builds imitating their now famous Toyotas.

“Expedition Overland's third Toyota Tacoma, a 2016 TRD Double Cab, is by far the most equipped Taco they've ever had.”

“The one area where the Tacoma needed to be modified to meet the long-haul demands of the Expedition Overland team was with––livability. Enter the highly anticipated Tacoma Habitat from the gurus at AT Overland Equipment.”

After four successful seasons with more than 258 million minutes watched on YouTube and 74+ million minutes streamed on Amazon Prime Video, the upcoming Arctic Solo Series follows the adventures of just one truck and a small crew tackling the Canadian Arctic during the winter. Viewers are introduced to crew members Richard and Ashley Giordano, who travel through sub-zero temperatures and remote landscapes in Expedition Overland’s 2016 Toyota Tacoma.

We have known the Crofts and the team at XOverland personally for nearly a decade, and have always found them to be honest, credible, and quality adventurers. In the world of Instagram “Fauxverlanding”, there are few media outlets that truly inspire us, but Expedition Overland is most certainly one.

From the folks at Expedition Overland, Oh Hey There with Jeff is a series that highlights the nuances of overlanding. This installment, Choosing an Overland Vehicle, helps explain which variables you should consider when making your first purchase.

The Expedition Overland web series follows team of ambitious individuals who built two long-range Toyotas then spent weeks (and week) running them from Montana all the way to the farthest drivable part of Alaska and back.

As sponsor of the 2013 expedition to Alaska and the Yukon, ExOfficio outfitted the eight-member cast in technical apparel designed for travel, trekking, and fishing with benefits like sun protection, insect protection, ventilation and lightweight packability.

From Expedition Overland, this episode of the show Oh Hey There with Jeff gives a detailed preview of the Adventure Trailers Habitat truck topper. The sleep system is made in partnership with tent manufacturer Nemo Equipment and is able to support up to 600 pounds.

After overlanding from Belize to Guatemala, and then on to El Salvador, Team 5 ran a two-day remote medical clinic where they saw over 100 medical and dental patients.

The highly anticipated Expedition Overland (XO) will return in season 2 for a truly epic journey through Central America – one of the most breathtaking and complex areas of the world.

To celebrate the season premiere, Expedition Overland and Toyota teamed up for a release event at the Studio Movie Grill near the new Texas-based Toyota HQ. Area Toyota off-road clubs and overland enthusiasts were invited for free admission and popcorn.

The fourth and fifth place race is sure to be highly contested, with Nena Barlow and Kande Jacobsen of the Squirrel Girls leading Rhonda Cahill and Rachelle Croft of the X Elles by only two points.

Half a world from home. In the middle of the desert. Two women with a truck, a map, and a compass. Is this crazy?

Rachelle Croft and Taylor Pawley, winners of the 2019 Rebelle Rally, tell us about what it’s like to compete in the first women’s off-road navigation rally raid in the U.S.

Combat Flip Flops will be sponsoring the Rebelle Rally, the first women’s off-road navigation rally raid in the United States, as well as the all-star The X Elles racing team of Rhonda Cahill and Rachelle Croft.

That’s what the X Elles, a Lexus-supported team taking on the all-women Rebelle Rally faced this year, as they took on some of North America’s most challenging terrain. Rachelle Croft and Taylor Pawley piloted a bone stock 2019 Lexus GX 460 to victory, beating 37 competitors across the eight-day competition.

Rochelle Croft comes back on to the show to talk about her recent win in the @rebellerally with @taylor.pawley. We loved the way she talks about how celebrating small wins can add up to a big victory. Congratulations to Team X Elles.

Piloted by Rachelle Croft and Taylor Pawley, the pair of adventurers utilized their love for challenging the status quo and their experience on the international off-roading stage to beat 37 competitors from a variety of classes during the eight days of intense competition.

The X Elles, a Lexus-supported all-women team fielding a completely stock 2019 GX 460, overcame some of North America's most grueling off-road terrain – all without GPS or mobile phones – to clinch first place overall and bone stock wins at the 2019 Rebelle Rally.

The smell of gasoline, the sound of thunderous exhausts, the teeming energy drink representatives, and million-dollar tube-chassis race trucks. The Rebelle Rally is, well, none of that. In fact, it’s not a race at all, but rather a competitive and inspiring navigation and driving challenge.
