1:48 2023 Simba Sequoia by X Overland
Expedition Overland named the Sequoia “Simba” to symbolize strength, which is fitting since this rig will fulfill many roles while traveling long-distance overlanding miles. To film episodes, it will need to haul the camera crew, providing plenty of room and comfort as well as trail versatility.
The team added an Icon Vehicle Dynamics 3.0 CDEV (compression damping electronic valve) suspension system – the first application on a Sequoia – to provide extra trail capabilities and to handle the added overlanding equipment, passenger and gear weight. With help from CBI Offroad Fabrication, Simba has two first-ever aftermarket Sequoia additions: a custom Covert front bumper fitted with a WARN VR 12,000-lb. capacity winch and a custom rear steel bumper with dual swingouts. Simba also has CBI Offroad Fabrication aluminum skid plates and rock sliders, a spare tire mounted on the dual swingouts with Maxtrax recovery boards attached to the spare tire and a Rigid Industries front bumper light bar and Rigid rock lights to help ensure visibility. On location, the Alu-Cab Gen 3-R hard shell roof top tent will provide shelter for two, and a rear galley and iCOM Ham radio are there for base camp meals and communication.
With a name inspired by the Nordic region and the Orion constellation, the Orion Tundra began as a 2022 Toyota Tundra Limited. The Crofts approached this build with long-distance journeys and film production as top priorities. Like Simba, it has the off-roading upgrades to get to remote locations: ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.5 Series extended travel coilover shocks up front and ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.5 Series Omega bypass rear shocks; a CBI Offroad Fabrication Covert front bumper with a WARN Zeon 12S 12,000-lb. capacity winch; CBI Offroad skid plates, side steps and rock sliders; and an ARB differential axle breather.
