Wanderlust Overland

"Was on the hunt for a specific tent, and found out that these guys are dealers of theirs and only about 45 mins from me. So I reached out, and Michael got back to me quickly with confirmation that they had what I was looking for. Offered to get me in immediately, and got everything mounted and ready to rock in no time flat. The guys were singing songs and cracking jokes while they worked and actually seemed happy to be there. Imagine that! As an added bonus, they also had an ARB wiring harness that can be sourced neither easily or at a sane cost elsewhere. Michael walked into the back and had one in his hand 30 seconds later. To add icing to the cake, he was able to link me up with a fabricator who I am now working with on doing a custom winch solution on my 3/4 ton for. An equally-responsive and cool guy who I didn't have to chase down or get put off for weeks by. The last 4 years have made finding quality customer service and work nearly impossible to find, and the obscene wait times and costs of some of these other fly-by-night operations has only added to the issue. Wanderlust is definitely one of the good ones that still does right by the customer and I would easily recommend 'em!"

"The crew at this shop treats vehicles like their own. They torque and mark all nuts and bolts they touch and are very meticulous about the finishing touches. If you need a true 4-wheel alignment (Toyota, Jeep, etc.) and have a highly customized suspension setup or bead locks that need tires mounted, they can do it. This is the only shop I will use for my vehicles. They helped me with my long-travel 2007 Lexus GX470. They created custom rear shock hoops, custom hydro bump stop mounts, modified my steel front bumper to flow better with the custom fiberglass fenders, which they also fit and had professionally painted. Not only did they have the fenders painted, but they trailered the entire vehicle to the paint shop to have the clear coat blended. When they put everything back together, they painted all the custom hardware the color I wanted and finished the wheel wells off with a rubberized under coating. Everything was taped off properly, with clean lines and no overspray. It came out fantastic. We also worked with them to build my wife’s Jeep (yes, they work on Jeeps). Michael helped me narrow down the suspension kits based on how we plan to wheel and gave recommendations based on research and experience. Again, this build turned out awesome as well. They installed a long arm kit, high-clearance steering kit, regeared the diffs, trussed the axles, installed and wired up the SDI E-Click shocks, and much more. The Lexus has 37s and the Jeep has 40s. Both track straight down the road and steering is tight, like one finger steering tight. We’ve had a couple of minor issues with the builds, not surprising given how custom they are, but they jump in to resolve the issue regardless of fault. In sum, they are the best off-road shop in Oregon. They do great work, and best of all, they stand behind it. Is there a wait time to get in the shop, maybe, it just depends on what you need and how long your project will take. I have always found them to be extremely accommodating."

"Came to Wanderlust in search of a better shop after the previous shop I took my 4Runner to started to go downhill. After being run around the whole Portland Metro area in search of a new shop, I can confidently say that this is the only place I will take my car from now on. Michael, Kelsey, and Vance have been nothing but great to deal with and all of their technicians are extremely knowledgeable. You guys will definitely be seeing more of the blue 4Runner in the future, and thank you guys for being my "go-to" shop."

"A premier outfitter and upfitter for your vehicle, offroad, and overland needs. Friendly and knowledgeable sales staff, and owners Michael & Kelsey who have a passion for vehicles and the outdoors. I do all my own work on my vehicles, but if I had to pick a shop to do the work for me, it would be Wanderlust, and I live 45 min away without traffic... They always seem to have what I'm looking for or need in stock or can get it before anyone else. Whenever I stop in, they have more great things I didn't know I needed!"

"Mike is simply the best. These guys are most proficient in the business and you can always trust your rig will get you where you need with their mod work. Forever my local mod guy!"
