The Coolest Rigs at Overland Expo East 2022

[@pmurphy12667]

featuring the regular guys is so much better. The vendors are obviously why we are there but seeing peoples rigs is nice to see

[@adventurefuel5172]

So sorry I missed this year. Thank for the tour of the participants camps, that’s always the height of the OE for me. 😊

[@GoVentureFab]

I've been to Expo West several years ago when it was south of Flagstaff in a muddy field, but have never been to Expo East. Thanks for the walk around of attendees rigs.

[@G.O.2020]

Great seeing yall at Expo East. Thank you for showing the East Coast some love and highlighting every day rigs.

[@SnapCampers]

Thanks for the feature! We are so happy that Warren showed you around his rig. We've been making the Treehouse since January of 2017, so not too new to the game 🙂. Great channel and thanks again!

[@rls63]

I met you guys during your walk around and I forgot to thank you for coming east to see us easterners

[@denaedorrett8920]

Awesome you guys stumbled across 813! Best company makes everything themselves ❤

[@dirtdauberadventures]

I dig that new half drawer for Sulley.

[@jeremywilliams8212]

Thanks for the Gladiator shout out! We will see you at Overland the Red next weekend!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Cara will be there. Great looking rig!

[@bobcooper1055]

Thanks for showing the real campers.. great to see what people are building.. it doesn't need to cost a small fortune to have fun..

[@JBsmoker00]

So awesome I will be out there overlanding soon buddy can't freaking wait been a dream sense last year

[@UndercoverTundra]

Hello guys , it was great meeting you both at the expo this past weekend , I’m the guy with the 2 dogs , black and white , u guys meet so many people u probably won’t remember me , lol lol , it was a great pleasure to meet u both and your gorgeous pup ✌️😎

[@Leftha3ndmedia]

OMG guys! Thanks for sharing our Van! (4:03) I love your channel and watch every week. Would have loved to have met y'all. Next time!!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Would have loved to see the inside of the van. It looked great!!

[@DanWeinel]

Love seeing Snap getting some love! The treehouse is such a great platform. I actually live in mine full time!

[@gregmacd2829]

I love the custom built rigs like the Earth Roamers and such, but showing the real world rigs owned by people that are actually out here doing the overloading is awesome to see.

[@johnrowell1185]

Thanks!

[@jaggsjunction]

New to this world. Really enjoying the videos.

[@alandowney4458]

I wish I could have made it to east. Great video. AJs rig is sweet. I appreciate your walk through of the non vender rigs. Safe travels home.

[@brentonshannoncooper3498]

Hey thanks for showing some love to our humble PanAmerican ‘87 4Runner. I think we saw y’all at the gas station afterwards and my kids pointed out your rig. They screamed “Cool Jeep!”

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Would have loved to chat about your stories in your 4Runner!!

[@RuinedAdventures]

We’ll bore you with some stories next time! 😂

[@darksideemt]

The wood working on that big rig you toured with the owner was stunning. Loved the color scheme with the Milwaukee stuff and all. Didn't think a cooler interior was possible and then you went into that huge orange thing with the western interior and my mind was blown.

[@johnrowell1185]

Super Great to meet y’all and GOOSE @ OEE! Thanks for the content

[@valeriesorrells]

super cool seeing you guys there this year. Your right the rigs there were amazing!

[@vickileadbetter5574]

AWESOME!!!

[@adventureoffroadx]

Great finally meeting you both and thank you for taking the time to hang for a few. Great event and I'll see you at the next one✌

[@joerye5780]

Matt it was nice meeting you there!

[@JarradShaw]

Side note: The One Wheel app on your watch is really nice and handy too! I love love love your small profile tail lights. So much! I love the Patriot campers so much. If I don’t get one of them, then maybe Turtlebacks camper.

[@ahmednesbitte4906]

Hi Matt, Cara and Goose, I really enjoyed your Overland Expo East video. There some amazing Rigs out there, just awesome. 😊 Love your new drawer system. Very neat😂 The Conqueror and the X3 Patriot Camper are both amazing Camp trailers. The owner of either camp trailers will have amazing experiences going forward.😂 Love OOA and TrailRecon. Thank you for the great content. Cara have a great time on your solo adventure.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks so much!!!

[@chadleadbetter]

This video made my week guys. Thank you for the video.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It was great meeting you! Thanks for the tour!!

[@jasonmedford1780]

Thanks for sharing. Cool video.

[@RoadRage_OG]

WooHoo, now we can get a solid review on the SHW drawer system - Just saw this (2 days ago) on Rob's part 2 Tundra build and it flew to the top of my list. Like you, I want to split the bed, fridge on right, drawer on left. . . Their website is short on info, specs, etc - You just made my day

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

So far it’s awesome!!!! I love not having to deal with totes any more.

[@RoadRage_OG]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Thanks for the fast reply! I'm anxious to see how (if) you rig a mount, or straddle of some-sort to sit your stove on. IOW; pull it out of drawer and have secure home for it while cooking. . . Anyway, exciting stuff - congrats on the new relationship with SHW

[@brianp7938]

Great video - saw you both walking around, but you were filming and didn’t want to interrupt - but keep up the great work!

[@johnnykoba_on_the_road]

Cool video- profiled a lot of cool rigs

[@OutOfOfficeCamping]

SNAP TREEHOUSE is one of our neighbors! We did a full Shop Tour Video on our channel. Ross, Mandy and Roger are truly invested in creating an amazing product, with the ability to customize every individuals' needs. Plus they have just started offering a Treehouse Lite. Weight comes in starting around 350-400 lbs. Great video thank you for doing a parking lot tour! The Stewart was mind blowing. Loved all the Milwaukee Pack outs. Thank you for taking the time to take us along with you! Mark (& Teresa)

[@Jshanks19]

Great review of the Expo. I assumed that the other Expos were similar in the way they setup as Expo East. The location in VA makes it so easy to do some overlanding while you’re at the expo for the weekend. It nice see the KZbinrs I follow at the expo. SHW is almost finished with drawer system. The first one for a Subaru.

[@stephenswearengin8003]

Very cool variety of rigs

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Thanks for the shout out at the end, wasn’t expecting it based on the title of the video, lol. Can’t wait to install Cara’s this week!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Have fun this weekend!!

[@TheOutlierArchive]

thanks for going through the hilltop vehicles, I had my school bus up there and wish i could have seen all the rigs especially the ambulance box LMTV up nextdoor, hoping to become a full time vendor out of my bus and that I can go to all the expos. Maybe we will meet someday.

[@ROgletree]

I met you guys while y’all were doing this walk around. One of my favorite parts of OXE is camping there and seeing how others camp. Some really nice rigs.

[@HEKNBAK]

Love y'all just walking around looking in people's rigs, lol! Hope he ain't sleeping - made us laugh! We would love to get out to one of the expos - maybe next year. Seeing the variety of rigs was awesome - really shows what is possible from super simple to extravagant. Gena's favorites are the vintage vehicles, I think it would be fun to build out a van or ambulance at some point.

[@roadramroverland]

Thanks for doing a rig walk, i was suppose to be there but always next year.

[@cbauto9503]

love the french bulldog

[@CrankyOldNerd]

Some crazy rigs out there in the camper Ville. We managed to come up for Sunday, I saw your Gladiator in one of the 'booths' but you were probably out having fun :) That potential electric rig was crazy. We'd just picked up our Defender 110 on Friday so was pretty excited to come up and look around. Was surprised no one was repping Conqueror there. We checked out the Opus and Ember setups, was disappointed Black Series was either a no show on Sunday or wasn't there for the whole thing.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I've seen the Black Series in person. There's much better options out there. They look tough on the outside but inside they are just a regular RV.

[@victorreyes6283]

Hey Matt hello from the Philippines ✌🏻 May I ask if it rains what do you do to your Dometic fridge inside the truck bed to keep it safe from water damage? Thanks.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It’s an IceCo. I don’t do anything to it. The tent protects it some from the rain and it’s been in the back for over a year now in all weather conditions without issue.

[@pamelaschilling9464]

Cool rigs

Where can I find info on the drawers in the JL do they make them for JK

What brand of rug is that, outside your trailer...love it!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

No clue. We got them off Amazon.

[@knxrnr]

I guess the Porsche with the GFC Superlite was already gone by the time you all walked around.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

i heard about it but never saw it.

[@seib6324]

Do you have any information or video on your trailer and or modifications you made to the trailer?

Yes. We have two full videos on the Conqueror.

Dang I was parked right in front of yall.

[@OutOfOfficeCamping]

Now you need to add some more Pack outs to the Ranger to keep up with the Stewart. 🤣

[@xLopez210x]

Noooooo i was there and I missed you guys!!!! Dang it! I was way out in the back boonies camping out in my Tesla Model Y

[@dabaird100]

I had planned on going but family come first. But next year 👌🤞😊🇺🇸

[@troypatterson5862]

Saw you at the Expo East, was going to say Hi but didn't want to bother you while you were eating. Maybe next time. I enjoy your channel. Safe travels.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

You should have said hi.

[@kevinclevenger8741]

I can't believe there ant more jeep grand cherokee wj's that are set up for overlanding

[@JDS-Dalton]

Man, not only did I miss Brad and Regina, but also you guys and a LOT of vendors, there was really too much to check out in one day. there were some great rigs there though!

[@gregwarren1197]

So this is why I couldn't find y'all? 😄

[@bajasoobnut]

Are you guys going to be at the PNW expo this year? (2023) Because I will have some bada bing cherries for you guys

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

We will be at PNW!! Can't wait. That sounds amazing!!!

[@BillSias-us5fh]

Wow, nothing like walking the campground area early in the morning, walking into people's camps and videoing their stuff and looking inside their vehicles! Unbelievable !

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Nothing like commenting on a video when you weren’t there. 😂 Calm down. it wasn’t actually early and no one was caught off guard.

[@kengeroo]

SHW,,, what are the claims for IPX rating ???

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Not sure on actual ratings but they said water proof and mostly dust proof.

[@REV0_01]

I seen you riding the one wheel at the main entrance getting some bags from a woman.. I wanted to say hey and get my picture taken but you was busy didn’t wanna bug you.. that was my first expo and it was awesome can’t wait till next year..

[@markw.3743]

Sooo would you say that now you own a 1 wheeler electric overlanding vehicle !? Just let us know where you put the stove ! 😂

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Just you wait… 😂

[@ddaily99]

Awesome video. It was awesome meeting you both at the show. Pretty sure I’d kill myself on that one wheel.

[@redbarradio]

Ah, snooping through peoples cars while they’re asleep - classic. Not sure i’d want strangers looking through my setup with a camera when i’m not around. Is there any way to go to an expo or off roading for that matter WITHOUT being on youtube? Every overlander is now a youtuber with 500k followers. I got into this hobby to get AWAY from the internet, now every time I go out I gotta worry about being exposed to millions of strangers. Maybe I’ll start an overland company that sells signs that say NO FILMING. This is not what Brad from Trail Recon imagined when he created all your jobs.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

😂😂😂 Well Brad is a personal friend of mine so there’s that… You should definitely create a sign. You got into this hobby to get away from the internet and yet here you are on KZbin watching videos on the internet. 😂😂😂

[@unacamper6700]

Sad.....you invade some ones personal space without permission.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Huh? What are you talking about?

[@ricksmith7659]

The one Toyota you would own? Lmao... reliability clearly isn't important to you. After all you do drive a Fiat powered Dodge.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Well the ratio of Toyotas breaking down on our trips compared to Jeeps is 10 to 1. And we’ve never had a Jeep have to be towed home. Can’t say that about Toyotas. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂 So there’s that. Toyota may be more reliable on pavement but not once you start taking them off road.

[@ricksmith7659]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Lol... my experience is polar apposite. The difference is when a Jeep breaks its usually a nightmare unlike replacing a 30 minute CV on the Toyota. Overlanding and rock crawling are two totally different hobbies. Toyota dominates one while Jeep dominates the other. Reliability is the single most important part for real Overlanding. That said I've always loved the Wrangler platform but the drive trains are no where near reliable enough for me to go deep in the back country with a Dodge product.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

@@ricksmith7659 my style of overlanding is taking the hardest trails possible to get to where I’m going. Lol.

[@scout06171]

Your idea of a cool rig isn’t mine. You seem to value expensive rigs that are custom made. What I consider cool are rigs where people have adapted common items that are affordable to everyone and has adapted it to use. Anyone can hire someone else to do stuff for you. It takes real talent to find ways to do something great with less money.

[@mikenorrick195]

They showed several older and DIY rigs in here. Not just the high dollar custom ones either. The LMTV about half way through was all home built.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Not sure you actually watched the video. 😂😂
