EVENT: Overland Expo 2014

July 10, 2014 By Bryon Dorr 3 Comments

Overland Expoย 2014 is in the books and boy was it a big year for Exploring Elements. Besides trying to collect all the latest and greatest news in the overland world, catch up with all our amazing overland friends, teach a few classes and provide you with live onsite social media, we also debuted theย EEXP. Sarah and I were both BUSY! We also managed all this after only a few hrs sleep during our 15hr overnight drive to even make the event. You can read more about thatย HERE. While I didn’t take photos of nearly every rig at the event this yr, like I’ve done in the past, I’m pretty confident that I got a good overview of all the awesome this year. Enjoy the overview below and also check out all the little details that couldn’t be covered in this post: UP CLOSE Overland Expo 2014.
