Off-Roading
Overland Expo creating new, ultimate off-road-ready Toyota SUV, Honda motorcycle builds
The two ultimate off-roading vehicles are currently being prepped for their August debut.
If you're a DIY adventure travel enthusiast, you're probably familiar with Overland Expo. The company puts together numerous events across the country each year that bring together the best of the overloading industry from vehicles to equipment to experts and more.
With sunny days filled with more expo events ahead as COVID-19 looks even further away in the rearview mirror, Overland Expo's staff has worked with two automakers to create unique builds befitting the spirit of Overland Expo events. The first is the Ultimate Overland Vehicle Build, which is based on a 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road. The other is based on a 2021 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES DCT and called the Ultimate Overland Motorcycle Build.
The Toyota 4Runner TRD-Off Road 4x4 comes standard with a 4.0-liter V6 engine, 9.6 inches of ground clearance, a standard factory-installed locking rear differential, and crawl Control — among other features. It also has a large number of off-roading and overloading accessories available, making it a perfect platform for this build.
The transformation of the vehicle has just begun. Over the next few months, MULE Expedition Outfitters and several aftermarket parts suppliers, including ARB 4x4 Accessories, CBI Offroad, Alu-Cab, Prinsu Design, Firestone Tires, Mayhem Wheels, 7P Overland, ALP Generators, REDARC, KC- Adventure Further, OK4WD, MagnaFlow, Garmin, Westin, Superwinch, Wagan Tech, TOTAL CHAOS Fabrication, XPLOR, Radflo, Atlantic British /Clearview USA, Dometic, QuietKat, and Midland Radio, will work to add parts to fine tune the model into the Ultimate Overland Vehicle.
The finished Ultimate Overland Vehicle Build will be revealed on August 27th at Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, Colorado.
Overland Expo's first Ultimate Overland Motorcycle Build is based on the 2021 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES DCT, which has been finished in Darkness Black Metallic - a new colorway for the 2021 model year. Together, Honda and Overland Expo will work to transform the motorcycle over the coming months utilizing a variety of suppliers including Outback Motortek, Jesse Luggage, Denali Electronics, Garmin, Wolfman Luggage, Heidenau Tires, KonTour Seats, and Superwinch.
Like the Toyota, the Honda will be revealed on August 27th at Overland Expo Mountain West.
