Unofficial Overland Expo Preparation Kit

[Expowives]

Not quite ready for OE2011?

Expowives presents the ultimate Overland Expo Preparation kit.
Critical items include:

1. 1lb authentic Navajo Sandstone extract in powder form. Mix 1:20 with water and apply liberally to vehicle's windows, paint, and wheel wells for that fresh off the White Rim Trail look. Reduce to a 1:1:3 mix of extract:wheat flour:water for a long lasting speckled chunky application.

2. Sticker Kit from a variety of vendors. Elevates status immediately. Etch horizontally with included razor blade to simulate trail pinstripping and combine with sandstone extract for the ultimate overland look.

3. Bar Kit including obscure mixers and exotic adult beverages. Includes a few classic overland cocktail recipies.

4. Well used copy of the Baja Almanac with a JJ's Cantina bumper sticker bookmark.

All of these items are available for immediate delivery within the greater Amado region. Installation services available. $Priceless USD cash.

It has been brought to our attention that this kit is incomplete without the following item...

The Wooden Wiffle King Bat, 1954
In 1954 the wooden Wiffle®King was made by The Wiffle Ball Inc. of Shelton, CT. This bat is very rare because it was made for only one year . The bat came in one size, 31 inches long and had black tape wrapped around the handle. The bats diameter at the barrel is 1 1/8 inches and has "Official Wiffle®King" heat stamped on the barrel. This bat is valued at $125-$200 depending on the condition.

Kit price updated to reflect inclusion of this important piece of Expo regalia.

This kit is Priceless, how can you even put a price on it :victory:

I recognize immediately the perishability of item 3, but how long is item 1 shelf-stable?...and is it available in XXL for larger-than-stock trucks?

Priceless is right on!

Can you modify #1 with red clay since I'm on the right coast?
Can you add sticks as an item for pinstriping?

Thanks for the questions and interest in this limited edition, oil changed every 3k w/full synthetic, uber rare kit.

1.Ordinarily, we would accept paypal. Unfortunatley, thier limited interface does not allow for the amount "priceless". If you are still interested in making a deal, pehaps we could work out a trade...how about your loyal pet, first born son, and your right middle finger?

2. Price adjusted for market conditions, thanks for the heads up

3. Most geologists agree that this sandstone extract is at least 189 million years old. I'm sure it will sit on your shelf for at least that long without issue.

3a. We did not make this kit available for the XXL platforms, as we figured Earthroamers, etc. would already have all of these items onboard. Don't they come stock with a wiffle ball bat made of unobtainium these days, or is that still an option?

I think the wiffle ball bat for ATW ER#15 was "traded" in Russia to facilitate border crossing! I guess the regular size would suffice - I had to remove the factory-refurbished dustcoat recently in order to affix an ExPo sticker on the portal...er...door, but if I am careful I might be able to get an approximate color-match.

P.S. Trade sounds like a possible option but I require my right middle finger for enhanced communication with non-compliant para-military elements occasionally ... and I have a cat so the whole "loyal pet" thing probably doesn't apply...I can provide an IOU for the first born son as I have only sired a daughter at this time.

LOL :wings: I want one, wait in order to putt on the stickers I would have to wash my car from all the dirt, then apply the stickers and then apply the sand extract. hmm, too much work.

But I think your kit should also include a rubber hammer, so you can create some dents here and there. and then you can tell everyone your favorite adventure story of how it happened when you where out in the middle of nowhere... (ofcourse you dont want to use the super rare Wooden Wiffle King Bat for that)
