Winnebago just introduced the ARKA, a new adventure motorhome, at Overland Expo West 2026. This rig is designed to push beyond traditional campgrounds and into more remote terrain without giving up comfort or connectivity. Built on a heavy-duty truck platform, ARKA blends off-road capability with the livability and technology expected from a premium motorhome. Designed for travelers seeking deeper exploration, ARKA is engineered around durability, autonomy, and adaptability. It rides on

Overland Expo West is the largest overlanding event in the world, and it’s absolutely loaded with rigs of make, model, and vintage that you could ever expect. The attendees and exhibitors brought their A-game, giving us a huge array to choose from.

While it’s impossible to rank the rigs we saw this weekend, here are “some” of the best rigs of Overland Expo West, presented in

Leitner Designs has introduced the GearPOD HD, the third generation of its eye-level truck bed storage system, aimed at overlanders and tradespeople who need more durability without sacrificing space.

Recently, while waiting to pick up some steel in Tucson to weld gates for our new place, I noticed this Wrangler mounted with what looked like an  . . . let’s just say impractical . . . combination of large-diameter wheels and low-profile mud terrain tires. Sure enough, the aftermarket wheels were 20 inches in diameter—at least two inches too large for a Wrangler (the Rubicon comes with 17-inch wheels)—and mounted with Gladiator Comp

KEY TAKEAWAYS Post-install alignment and re-gearing are critical steps that many shops skip, leading to premature tire wear and poor drivability on daily drivers. Proper lift kit installation requires recalibrating brake lines, ABS sensors, an

After 17 years in Arizona, Overland Expo West has history behind it, but it is not running on history alone. It continues to lead because it keeps delivering the most complete overlanding event experience anywhere in the world. It has the rigs. It has the launches. It has the gear. It has the education.
