Extreme Vehicles from Overland Expo

In this video I walk your around the Overland Expo West in Flagstaff Arizona to take a look at just some of the standout overland built vehicles. We will take a look at some of the expedition style rigs, full sized overland trucks, mid sized trucks, conversion vans, Toyotas, Land Rover Defenders, Jeep Wrangler, Ram Trucks and Jeep Gladiators. Be sure to stay until the end where I will choose my favorite vehicle of the event.

I absolutely love the Colorado Bison with the baby Duramax.

I'm a 2 door fan. Thanx for showing a little love (really little love as in 7 seconds worth) to us dying breed. Cheers from Denver CO!

“They are a little out of financial reach for most of us”. Yeeaahh, just a little LOL.

A 2 door extended cab Jeep is probably the only thing that could really pull me away from the full sized 4 door Jeep.

The rig at the end is pretty close, but I'd need there to be somewhat of a back seat for my dogs, storage, passengers if I need, and of course storage under/inside of them.

My biggest issue currently is that any build like this costs MORE because it has to be custom, and I haven't ever seen the extended cabs cost more than the 4 door trucks.

Oh, definitely assuming a full side bed length too.

A Jeep like this has so much potential for me, and will maintain the looks and feeling I love so much.

I went to the Expo in 2014, the best part was walking around the parking lot/camping areas looking at real world rigs.

Agree with your choice. Saw the video of the build. Jeep needs to pay attention 😉

[ramtrucks]

Red RAM Prospector and white one are just awesome!

Nearby Jeep dealership recently received and sold a couple Gladiators, which I got to inspect up close and personal, plus sit in, before some lucky buyers took them home. Very tempting to have taken one home, myself. They're expecting another Rubicon Gladiator come June. Hope I can resist the temptation and maintain my fiscal sanity. Thoroughly enjoyed your vid. Thanks.

Agree that the full-size truck platforms are the way to go in North America.

[DianeLasek]

You certainly have one of the best channels out there!!!! Keep it up!!!

[patriotram]

That gladiator is wicked. It definitely qualifies for overlanding. Good choice. Keep up the good work.

[desigan]

I agree with your 1st choice it’s epic!

[edgeary]

Thank you for all the work you do. I ordered a Jeep Gladiator launch edition for 73k and just canceled it and went with the Dodge Power wagon. I’m loving it can’t wait to get it outfitted and out on the trails.I still love my jeeps but am more comfortable in the Power Wagon. Your last video with the Ford Raptor helped with that decision.

Awesome video Brad, thanks for filming. Would have loved to have been there 👍

Very nice review. The over-landing lifestyle is interesting to me, but probably not something I'll do myself. We saw a number of R-Pod campers during Easter Jeep Safari and they have a model I think I can sell my wife on. Most likely as we get a little closer to retirement with a Gladiator in our driveway. I've been watching the Dynatrac two door Hellcat Gladiator build on Wayalife's Youtube channel. It looks awesome and I'm looking forward to seeing video of it out on the trail. Speaking of Dynatrac, it was very cool that Jim donated a complete Dynatrac 44 differential for the Friday evening drawing at EJS. Brad, thanks again for what you do. Safe Travels and God Bless!

There is always awesome rigs out there! This year did not disappoint!

[TeamWahoo]

Brad, You do a bang-up job on these videos and I am really enjoying them! The clarity is exceptional and the commentary is great. Holy cow there are some seriously cool and untouchable ($$$) modded Jeeps and other 4wd to drool over. Your videos, and other like them, keep my mind racing. Keep the good work.

[chrish]

Dang you Brad, every time I watch your videos I see something else I need for my 2018 JL Rubicon. Was glad to see some 2 door Overland builds out now I just need to choose a tent system.... Thanks for a great channel !!

[wardperozuk]

While electric will eventually be popular, still not my cup of tea for now. Gladiator is nice, maybe one day. Thanks for the video.

My dad had a troopy when I was growing up - would love to get one again, of course I can in AUS 🇦🇺😁
