The Most Complete Overland Expo East 2023 video you will watch! Maybe the BEST OVERLANDEXPO Video!

#overlandexpo #Overlandexpoeast #bestoverlandgear
We got to meet so many awesome folks and hang out with friends ‪@OverlandExpo‬ east this last weekend. the Overland Community is exactly that. It's truly a community of likeminded outdoor enthusiasts!
This was my first expo, and it was great to see all the new overlanding gear from so many companies. There are so many tent options, truck options, and gear that just make living out in the wild much more comfortable. I'm glad I get to share this video with you and take you on my journey through overland expo east.
In case you don't want to watch the full hour, here are some key moments you can jump to. Out door adventure is who we are and what we do! I hope the folks we talk to help motivate, inform, and inspire you to Get Out There and Start Building Your Dreams!

My Build:
Suspension: It took me a little over a year to select the right kit for my Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, and it really controls the ride even when fully loaded!
For my personal setup, I chose to go with the ‪@ClaytonOffRoad‬ 3.5" Overland Plus Kit. They have a great reputation. James was super helpful when deciding between the HD Springs or the Normal Springs. I'm extremely happy going with the HD springs and know that I'll be able to fully load the Gladiator out in the future with the load carrying capacity to grow! I also went with the ‪@GoRanchoSuspension‬ RS9000XL Shocks.
I've driven the Jeep now for about 5,000 miles, and the Rancho Clayton Combo is really spot on. I'm cruising around city and gravel roads on as little as setting 3 front and rear currently, although you can jump back up to level 4 or 5. The Great thing about the Rancho Shocks is you have 9 different levels to play around with to find the best ride for you at a budget price! I'd love to install a full set of the Rancho RockGear in the future.

Like most of you, I don't have a lift, and did this in my driveway with the help of my ‪@harborfreight‬ Badland Offroad Jack, and the full line of ‪@MilwaukeeTool‬ M12 Fuel Tools including the M12 Ratchet, M12 Fuel Ratchet, M12 Fuel Stubby Impact, M12 Fuel Hackzall (sawzall), M12 Fuel right angle impact, some Craftsman wrenches, ‪@GEARWRENCHTools‬ Flexible gear wrenches, dead blow hammer, and several other Metric and SAE tools from Husky, Dewalt, Icon, and others.
My tools and off road jack travel with me on my trips as added insurance.

[@timdavenport2943]

Well done, sir!👏

[@StartBuildingYourDreams]

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!

[@geo15304]

I like how you let the participants have the microphone and do the talking.

[@StartBuildingYourDreams]

Thanks, they know their products and vehicles better than me.

[@timthetrailman4563]

It was a great event. my first time going. I wish I could have met more content creators like yourself.

[@StartBuildingYourDreams]

Thanks for watching. It was a great event. Most of creators I meet are approachable, and just good people. Most folks like to talk about their builds or recent adventures. I felt very fortunate to get to meet a lot of these folks.

[@Houswin]

Great job!

[@StartBuildingYourDreams]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Contacted ASFIR about skid plates. Enos in the video said they do all Subarus; 59:31 however, the home office representative said they don’t do the Subaru Wilderness model. Strange, you think they would do the Subaru model especially made for off-roading. This company has been in business for over 30 years???

[@StartBuildingYourDreams]

Interesting for sure…they are Israeli based. Not super familiar with the wilderness model, but my uninformed assumption is it’s an Outback with skids and a small lift. The Wilderness model could be only in the US market. I know we didn’t get the WRX until the first Bug-eyes and still got a De-tuned STI when it came over. Great Feedback! Let me know if you find out anything else!

[@inca4x4]

Good stuff!!

[@StartBuildingYourDreams]

Thanks!

[@StartBuildingYourDreams]

Full Video will premiere at 6PM EST Tonight! Hope you enjoy this little behind the scenes sneak peek while you wait!

[@jakemetz1742]

[@StartBuildingYourDreams]
