Overland Expo West 2017 (OEX W) SoCal CONVOY and post trip shenanigans

[RSO_Tyler]

I'm curious when and where the SoCal group will be meeting? I'll have my rig, and a truck towing a rig.

Plus I'll be in the Vision-X booth so I'm hoping we're heading out Thusday right?

Looking forward to seeing that rack!

Any interest in a patch to commemorate the trip? I was tinkering around with some ideas if so.

 

[Graeman]

Curious if anyone else in the convoy is pulling an exp trailer? We will be towing this:

That is a nice setup.

i'm going... have to decide between land rover 109 with roof tent or land rover 101 with camper...

What a tough decision you have to make LS powered 2a or a badass rover camper....

 

[Graeman]

Is anyone camping on the military campground side? :(

It's funny how many people know about it and we haven't even started advertising them yet lol

We'll be doing a pre-sale soon for some consumer product testing.

Ok I gotta ask, what's the dome on the teardrop?? Perhaps it's the stealth camping invisibility generator?

Are you planning on going with an inline Chevrolet 6 cylinder or another V8. The inlines have such great, smooth torque and don't seem to overtax the cooling system or drivetrain.

V8 lc9 aluminum block from a silverado, 6 speed and lt230 tranfer case... the 6 cylinders are longer so i dont want to compromise shaft size and I'm so happy with the swap in my 109.

Sounds pretty nice.

Hey OB Members of Southern California, pray all is well. Dominic Moschetti, OB #0158

Overland Expo West is only 27 days away. :) What is the word on the meet-up convey to the Expo?

Viewing Google Maps for Fort Tuthill County Park, Flagstaff AZ...we have 3 possible direct routes, all about the same driving time and mileage:

15 to 40 / 7hrs 435miles - I've have done this twice, no frills...get there fast.
10 to 17 /7hrs 451miles - I've have done this once, as a return trip
10 to 177, 62, 95 to 40 / 7hrs 441miles - I've have done this once, as a return trip...took a full day yet I explored and made many pit stops.

Our goal is to leave on the May 11, early am/before the sun rises. Its best to get there mid afternoon for camping sites. Anyway, just looking to get some more insight to what everyone else is thinking.

@dstock - are you going to the Expo?
