Overlanding (adventure travel) has been gaining popularity, but it has been around for a while. In 2012, forum member ‘Flexfab’ turned his 1992 Ford Ranger in to an ‘Expedition Truck’.
According to Flexfab:
I bought this truck new in 1992 and promptly took it to Baja for 3 months. The truck has been nothing but “Old Faithful”, TTB and all. After wallowing around North America with the worst bump-steer ever engineered into a vehicle, it was time to turn it into a proper camping rig. Just thought I’d share a few of the build shots and some poser finish shots.
