#overlandexpo #Overlandexpoeast #bestoverlandgear

We got to meet so many awesome folks and hang out with friends ‪@OverlandExpo‬ east this last weekend. the Overland Community is exactly that. It's truly a community of likeminded outdoor enthusiasts!

This was my first expo, and it was great to see all the new overlanding gear from so many companies. There are so many tent options, truck options, and gear that just make living out in the wild much more comfortable. I'm glad I get to share this video with you and take you on my journey through overland expo east.

In case you don't want to watch the full hour, here are some key moments you can jump to. Out door adventure is who we are and what we do! I hope the folks we talk to help motivate, inform, and inspire you to Get Out There and Start Building Your Dreams!

My Build:

Suspension: It took me a little over a year to select the right kit for my Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, and it really controls the ride even when fully loaded!

For my personal setup, I chose to go with the ‪@ClaytonOffRoad‬ 3.5" Overland Plus Kit. They have a great reputation. James was super helpful when deciding between the HD Springs or the Normal Springs. I'm extremely happy going with the HD springs and know that I'll be able to fully load the Gladiator out in the future with the load carrying capacity to grow! I also went with the ‪@GoRanchoSuspension‬ RS9000XL Shocks.

I've driven the Jeep now for about 5,000 miles, and the Rancho Clayton Combo is really spot on. I'm cruising around city and gravel roads on as little as setting 3 front and rear currently, although you can jump back up to level 4 or 5. The Great thing about the Rancho Shocks is you have 9 different levels to play around with to find the best ride for you at a budget price! I'd love to install a full set of the Rancho RockGear in the future.

Like most of you, I don't have a lift, and did this in my driveway with the help of my ‪@harborfreight‬ Badland Offroad Jack, and the full line of ‪@MilwaukeeTool‬ M12 Fuel Tools including the M12 Ratchet, M12 Fuel Ratchet, M12 Fuel Stubby Impact, M12 Fuel Hackzall (sawzall), M12 Fuel right angle impact, some Craftsman wrenches, ‪@GEARWRENCHTools‬ Flexible gear wrenches, dead blow hammer, and several other Metric and SAE tools from Husky, Dewalt, Icon, and others.

My tools and off road jack travel with me on my trips as added insurance.
