Toyota 4Runner · 5th Gen

Next-gen all-terrain from Falken with best-in-class snow stopping distance and top-tier ice braking. Deepest tread depth of any A/T tire for maximum trail and winter longevity. Successor to the beloved AT3W.

Best budget portable compressor for overlanding. Small enough to stash in a glovebox, powerful enough for 33-inch tires, and reliable enough for years of trail use. Pairs perfectly with a MorrFlate kit.

The budget way into satellite messaging. Two-way texting and SOS from anywhere, paired to your phone over the free app, for well under half the price of a Garmin inReach. Messaging leans on your phone, but check-in and SOS work on their own.

The cleanest, most integrated sleep-in-your-4Runner solution that doesn't sacrifice rear seat functionality, fold the platforms up and your back seat works normally for passengers.

Comfortable, proven budget pad for the sleep-inside build: 3.5 inch foam that actually cushions, fits the cargo area, about $70.

Cheap insurance for a flat night and a properly running fridge: stack under the tires to level the rig on uneven ground.

Window screens let you sleep with the windows cracked for airflow without letting bugs in, cutting the condensation that builds up overnight when you sleep inside.

Budget shade that covers a whole campsite for a fraction of a 270-degree cassette awning, and it mounts to any roof rack.

The get-it-done budget stove: dual-fuel flexibility, push-button ignition, and a huge ownership base for about $30.

The space-saving budget fridge for sleeping inside: cold enough to freeze, small enough to tuck to the side, about $160.

The budget water pick: a legit Scepter 5-gallon at roughly a third the price of the mil-spec MWC.

The most reliable camp lantern on the market, the AA battery backup means you'll never be in the dark even if you forget to recharge, and the build quality is bombproof.
