For true adventure enthusiasts, the journey doesn’t begin when the tires hit the dirt—it begins in the garage.
In Bremerton, Washington, the Overland Truck Store has established itself as more than just a retail destination for roof racks and camping gear. It has evolved into a full-service technical hub, offering the expert mechanical work required to turn a standard truck into a trail-ready machine.

While many know Overland Truck Store for its curated selection of off-road products and vehicles for sale, the core of the business is its full-service garage. The shop specializes in the heavy lifting that transforms vehicle performance, ensuring that when customers head out into the wild, they come back home safely.
Specialized Garage Services
Building a capable rig requires more than bolt-on accessories; it requires mechanical precision. The Overland Truck Store specializes in four critical areas of vehicle modification:
- Suspension Systems: Whether you are looking to increase ground clearance for technical trails or improve ride quality for daily driving, the shop offers expert suspension upgrades tailored to the specific weight and intended use of the vehicle.
- Regearing: One of the most overlooked aspects of modifying trucks is the drivetrain. When larger tires are added, a vehicle loses power and fuel efficiency. Overland Truck Store specializes in regearing trucks and off-road vehicles, restoring the factory power band and relieving stress on the transmission.
- Bumpers and Rock Sliders: Protection is paramount off-road. The shop installs heavy-duty bumpers and rock sliders designed to take the abuse of the trail, so the vehicle doesn't have to.
- Canopies and Utility: For those setting up overland basecamps or needing work-ready solutions, the team offers comprehensive canopy installations to maximize storage and utility.

A Legacy of Exploration
The technical expertise at Overland Truck Store is backed by a genuine passion for the lifestyle. For founder Marc, overlanding is a cherished family tradition. His love for the outdoors began as a child, forging bonds with his grandfather over rugged trails and campfire stories long before "overlanding" was a buzzword.
That torch was passed down to Marc’s son, whose enthusiasm for the culture was so profound he once considered moving to Australia to be closer to the heart of the global overlanding scene. Instead, the family poured that passion into Bremerton, building a business that reflects their shared history.

"Rub Some Dirt on It"
The shop operates under a family motto that has become the company ethos: "Rub Some Dirt on It." It is a philosophy of resilience and fun. It encapsulates the belief that mechanical challenges and trail obstacles are just part of the journey. With a little grit—and the right equipment—any obstacle can be turned into an unforgettable experience.
More Than a Store
Beyond the garage, Overland Truck Store remains a premier retailer. They offer a wide range of products including storage solutions, recovery tools, and camping equipment. Uniquely, they also sell vehicles, ranging from fully built off-road rigs to versatile daily drivers.
Whether you need a reliable commuter, a suspension upgrade for the weekend, or a regear for a cross-country expedition, Overland Truck Store bridges the gap between retail and mechanical mastery. They invite you to bring your vehicle in, swap stories, and get ready for your next adventure.
