Overlanding Build Strategy: Plan It Right From The Start!
Episode 6
Sunday, 22 March, 2026
When you’re building out an overlanding rig, the excitement to just start bolting parts on can be overwhelming… but trust me, a solid plan makes all the difference. In this episode, I walk through my strategy for planning an overland build the right way before turning a single wrench.I talk about the importance of documenting dimensions, measuring twice (or three times!) and cutting once, and why creating a simple spreadsheet or Google Doc can save you tons of headaches. I’ll show you how I map out every step of a build so I know exactly what needs to happen — and in what order — to keep the project moving forward smoothly.Toward the end, I share one of my favorite practical tips: laying out all the gear and components you already own on the floor so you can visualize the setup, talk through your plan, and update your drawings based on real-world space and fitment. Finally, I explain why ordering everything you’ll need before the build begins can help you avoid frustrating delays once you’re in the middle of the project.If you’re planning your first overland build — or just want to be more strategic with your next round of mods — this video will help you stay organized, save time, and build with confidence.As mentioned in the vid, here are some of the items shown or discussed:Link to order the camper I'm getting with accessories (this just sends the order to HiperLion but then you'll actually purchase through Alibaba-Use code ALLTHINGSOVERLANDING147 for your choice in $170 in free accessories): https://hiperlionoutdoor.com/product/build-your-complete-setup-in-one-page/200W CIGS Solar Panel I'm going to run: https://amzn.to/4pA8AnTMy 3000W Inverter: https://amzn.to/3Zi23DuRemote Power Box with anderson plugs (order this early because shipping is slow): https://amzn.to/3P6638nFancy toilet for camper: https://amzn.to/3PFKv2C100 Ft of 12 Gauge Wire for misc wiring: https://amzn.to/4c6CWeu14 gauge quick connects: https://amzn.to/3ZFElBn40 Ft. of 0 Gauge Wire: https://amzn.to/3ZDkN0vTrolling Motor Mounts: https://amzn.to/4sim5dZMictuning Switch Panel: https://amzn.to/4sjHlAnLiTime 320AH Heated Mini LifePo4 Battery (will probably run 2): https://amzn.to/4rGiLsdBougeRV Sensor Lights for inside camper: https://amzn.to/4uBN4TwA huge thanks to my partners:Top Oak (amazing roof top tents and awnings for budget prices): https://topoakoverland.com/?sscid=51k9_mt1ba&Z1 Off Road (pretty much the spot for all things Nissan): https://www.z1offroad.comAll Dogs Offroad (amazing Nissan specific suspension options which I run on my truck): https://www.alldogsoffroad.comICECO Fridges (the best fridges for the money, hands down-Use code ALLTHINGSOVERLANDING for 12% off your order): https://icecofreezer.com/ALLTHINGSOVERLANDINGClick here to join the Patreon community for exclusive content and access to the Discord channel: https://www.patreon.com/allthingsoverlandingClick here to get a patches or stickers: https://allthingsoverlanding.com/shop/For a full list of my gear, check out this page for quick reference links: https://allthingsoverlanding.com/gear/Looking for budget light bars, rock lights, and LED strips for your rig?
