If vehicle-based and self-sustained off-road travel is your thing, then scrawl the Overland Expo series onto your to-do list. Overland Expo West, in Flagstaff, Arizona, is joined by similar gatherings in the East, Pacific Northwest, and the Rockies (Mountain West), where adventure travel enthusiasts come together to get educated, ogle new products, and share stories from the trail.
The 2022 Overland Expo West was held at Fort Tuthill County Park, just outside Flagstaff, and the venue was teeming with over 28,000 showgoers hailing from all corners of North America as well as from Great Britain, Peru, Mexico, Australia, the Czech Republic, and Canada. They were joined by 406 exhibitors as they attended clinics on topics from cooking and trailside welding to vehicle recovery and route planning, entered raffles, enjoyed happy hours, and took in the Overland Film Fest during the three-day event. Read on for some of our favorite sights, scenes, and unique 4x4s from the 2022 Overland Expo West.
Pair of Series → This '64 Land Rover Series IIA Forward Control is one of 611 forward controls ever produced and it has spent time serving as a fire truck and a museum piece in Switzerland, before coming to the United States. The green Landy went on quite a topless adventure en route to Overland Expo West where it tugged on the strings of Tech Editor Verne Simons' heart. (He wants one, just with more roughness around the edges).

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING
I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep?
