Did you check the rating on the jack? And where it's made? It's not some disposable Harbor Freight item. You're of course free to make your own bent pieces of metal. I bend metal, and weld it too, and I know it wouldn't be worth $80 of my time trying to replicate these. Besides, they're 15...

Hmm . . . good idea, although I'm not sure of the fit. I'll check mine. In the meantime, I just wrote a review of the Bogert wheel chocks here.

You won't see them again. They got vendor space through a series of miscommunications, and we did not realize until the show how inappropriate their pitch was. Our apologies. As to Ram reps who don't know how to work a sway-bar disconnect and think the winch is controlled through the...

I posted this in the Safe-Jack thread but thought I'd make a general announcement. Richard Bogert has extended the discount he offered at the Overland Expo through June 30. The code is K7E and is good for a 15 percent discount on Bogert's bottle jack system, the Safe Jack for Hi-Lifts, and other...

Richard is extending the discount code he offered at the Overland Expo. It's K7E and is good for 15 percent off, through June 30.

The answers are no, and not long. The Micro-Start and similar devices are designed for short-term starting use only.

Take a look at the review I posted here. While we were setting up the Expo, Graham Jackson, Tim Scully, and I decided to see if we could weld with a trio of Micro-Starts connected in series. It worked. They're tough little units. However, this is obviously not something the maker would endorse...

Thanks Motrhed; I'm glad you enjoyed the experience. And Jlandon, that first photo looks like a painting. Lovely.

That was Roseann on her way across the pond on a Dyneema zip line rigged by the Camel Trophy team. Never touched the water.

Fantastic photos, thank you. I didn't see half these vehicles myself!

Great photos, thank you!

Fighting with statistics is unfair. Isn't it? We would definitely consider a move into the midwest at some point; also the Pacific Northwest.

Given the amount of time it takes to put together, run, and shut down the Expo, I strongly believe two per year will be our limit unless we're willing to stop traveling ourselves. But there is a possibility that we'll move either the west or east show to different locations. The problem with a...

The east-coast expo will not be a franchise—we'll be there running it with all our western team. We added the east show only after many requests and much debate. We in Arizona and elsewhere west tend to think of everything east of the Mississippi as an urban wasteland, which of course it...

Thank you both, and all. When people say, "Why should I pay for the weekend pass when people sneak into classes anyway?" I'm always tempted to say, "Because it's the honest thing to do?" I understand the frustration, but as BurbanAZ intimated we don't want to have 300-pound bouncers roaming the...

Thank you for the comments and suggestions. The growing population at the west Expo is the main reason we decided to finally add an eastern event, despite the logistics involved. Nevertheless, we struggle each year with traffic control, especially in the day pass area. Graham and I looked at a...

While I'm disappointed you were disappointed, I should clear up a few things regarding your comments. There was water for campers; it was in a large water buffalo near the entrance. I talked to several people who filled from it. We also had five showers available there, even though, as you...

Second that—what a pretty little girl. Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet her!

Not sure where you were, but in the Oasis tent we had U.S.-made Overland Expo T-shirts in several designs, plus hats. The food situation was better this year as we insisted on having outside vendors; however, the lodge once again underestimated the numbers. I hear the pizzeria ran out of pizza...
