You can’t directly select a barn find in Offroad Outlaws until you unlock it in order. The game’s barn finds are handled sequentially: you have to find and build the previous one before the next one appears, and you also need to be in single player for it to work properly.

How it works

  • Go to single player first; multiplayer won’t spawn barn finds correctly.
  • Find the current barn find in the correct map location, then tap it to send it back to your yard.
  • Restore it by finding the parts or spending gold, then build it until it’s drivable.
  • Only after that will the next barn find unlock, so you can’t skip ahead or pick a later one early.

If it is not showing up

  • Make sure you already completed the previous barn find in the sequence.
  • Double-check that you are in the right map and single player mode.
  • If you are at the right spot and still can’t tap it, move a little closer or farther and try again.

Practical example

If you already finished the first barn find, the next one should appear only after that one is built. One guide notes that the game expects you to go in order and build each one before the next becomes available.
