About Hakan Akgul

Overlander Co, a venture with over 25 years of passion for the great outdoors and overlanding. Our journey began long before "overlanding" was even a coined term. We've camped in the back of a 1986 Honda Civic, moved on to a 1986 Toyota pickup, and eventually a 95 Tacoma 4x4 access cab. Through it all, we've learned that the joy of overlanding can sometimes be eclipsed by the time spent building, repairing, and maintaining our rigs. Sharing our love for adventure, friends and family often borrowed our setups, and we gladly helped them out. Then, one day in Istanbul, as we sipped coffee by the Bosphorus and watched seagulls glide, it hit us - time is incredibly precious. A friend called, asking to borrow our rig for a camping trip because his was broken, and he was willing to pay for it. That moment, it dawned on me that my passion could be a bridge for people to enjoy more of their free time. Overlanding is a demanding sport, and not everyone shares the same zeal for building rigs or has the know-how. What many desire is simply to get out there and savor those moments with friends and family. Thus, Overlander Co was born. We're here to provide the rigs and gear, letting you focus on the journey and the joy it brings. Join us as we continue to make the great outdoors more accessible for all.
