That is my CampMate chuck box that now belongs to Suntinez. Those are pretty much unobtainium nowadays.

Cheers, never seen one down here, looks like a handy bit of kit.

Thanks everyone for the pics and reports.

Fun seeing pics from this years event. I was bummed to miss it this year but with triple digit temps and dusty conditions, perhaps not so much. I was struggling with the 90 degree temps last year. Haha Is it looking to stay in Amado next year again?

The Overland Expo was amazing!!! So many awesome vendors and presenters. World class. I spent most of my time out on the driving course taking the Women out--and the Overland route was beautiful with great Arizona vistas. Sarah Batten & I had the greatest group of Women drivers--as Instructors it is always great to see your students picking the right line up the hill and giving just the right amount of throttle :victory:

A great picture I took from the passenger seat--I took out a photographer who took the Land Rover on a side slope that was about 38 degrees and we sat there taking pictures. It was a wee bit unnerving but thrilling! The rigs are so very capable!

The BBQ at sunset in lovely Amado!

I absolutely cannot wait until next year!!

Many, and most sincere, thanks to all who posted and/or linked to the photos they took of Overland Expo.

It is a great service you've done for those of us who weren't able to be there in person and I appreciate it very much.

37s.


It shows how big those JK Unlimiteds actually are. 116" wheelbase and big tire openings.

No worries; I tried to find time to come find you, but ended up with every minute of the weekend filled between classes and Roseann and Lara keeping me busy. We'll talk soon.

The truck that wasn't there

...or was it?

Not exotic, just obtainable, and did a round trip of a little less than 4800 miles and ready for more. Encouraging news for those who want to get out and explore.

Nope, not believing it......anyone can do a photoshop....even you T...:sombrero:

seriously how was the ride? still get the mileage of an 80?
