Vehicle: ’99 Toyota Land Cruiser
About: Overlanding “helps me to get
ready for retirement—when I’m able

to just hit the road the rest of my life

and wander freely!” For now, that

means the essentials on Benjamin’s

’Cruiser are Toyo mud tires with

Hutchinson beadlocks, Dissent

Offroad bumpers, a TRD super-

charger, an ARB drawer setup, White

Knuckle rock sliders, and a tent and

awning from Rhino-Rack.

Benjamin Gardner

Vehicle: ’01 Ford Explorer Sport
About: “I overland because it’s
virtually a whole new way of seeing
magnificent places and scenery that

only a few really get to see. My Ford

is now a really mini RV.” Albert’s

Explorer is modified with Rancho

shocks front and rear, a Detroit

Truetrac in the back, 4.10s, a shackle

and torsion-bar lift worth 2 inches,

BFG KO2s, bumpers, sliders, and a

Jasper transmission. The rear seats

were removed so that he could build

a storage/sleeping area.
