Is this the Autohome Land Cruiser? Seemed to be parked next to the Autohome booth display area.

I don't have any pics... But I believe that 80 belongs to "MikeS" who is on the board here. The bumper is a Kaymar, but the can holder appears to have been modified a little.

I may have a better pic of the water can holder, but what I thought was pretty cool was the tube ladder incorperated with the swingout. The Airtop RTT is very cool it has more room length wise for a 6 footer like me and more headroom also, not to mention the rear entry.

This was an incredible event. Roseann and her team provided such a classy venue and a great sense of adventure.

It took us three days to get the tent down, everything packed and back to Prescott and then everything unpacked. It was so worth it!

Oh, and I have a new love. . .

Scott, I agree that the Brute paired with the Slide-In Camper is a sweet combo.

I'm only wishing that the Brute had a few more inches behind the seats so they could be reclined, and have a spot to store some gear in the cab with you.

Almost like a king cab jeep with the bed behind it. Now that would be one sweet ride

:safari-rig: That was my favorite rig @ the Expo and there were alot of cool vehicles in attendance!

That tent was just amazing, In the right place I wouldnt mind living in it.

I came away from the Expo with a huge desire to get out and explore even more than ever, can't wait for summer vacation!

Thanks Roseann and everyone else who makes this happen, hope to be able to go next year and with the wife so she will have as much passion for this as I do.

Anyone know where I can buy this fridge drop-slide in the US (or Canada)?

There were two different fridge drop slides at the show, but that looks like the one that Slee Off Road is offering (which BTW I think is a slightly better design of the two).

I posted a blog entry on the Expo here. I shot photos for all three days so I'll post more up soon :) Thanks to all that took the time to chat with me. There were so many people I wanted to say HI to, but didn't get the chance. (Pat Bonish comes to mind - I was within feet of you on several occassions, but either it was in a classroom (no talking) or we were both on our way somewhere. . . there were lots of you, Pat is just one example.) Thanks to all who were willing to pose for a shot!
