If you’re getting into overlanding—or you’ve been doing it for a while and don’t want to waste money—this video is for you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the overlanding mods that give you the most bang for your buck. These are upgrades I’ve actually used, tested, and used out on real trips—not just stuff that looks cool on Instagram. Some mods are absolutely worth the money, while others can wait (or be skipped entirely).

I talk through what I’d prioritize if I were starting over today, where you’ll get the biggest improvement in comfort, capability, and reliability, and how to build a setup that lets you travel more instead of constantly chasing the next expensive upgrade.

Whether you’re building a budget overland rig, slowly upgrading over time, or just trying to figure out what really matters, this conversation should help you make smarter decisions with your money. Hope it helps!
