We recorded this episode when we were preparing for our trip and reflect on our first Overland Expo experience in May 2016.

The time seems to have snuck up on us. We have been planning to go to Overland Expo East for months and the time to leave is upon us and it seems like we are behind in our preparation. In this episode, we share what modifications and prep work on the Jeep we’ve done so …
We took the opportunity this past weekend to set up camp and test out some things before we leave for our trip to North Carolina trip in a couple of weeks.
