#OverlandExpoWest #Flagstaff #Arizona #Overlanding
Overland Expo West is where real rigs show up. It’s exactly where @classicoverland belongs.
We build Defenders to be driven. Long miles, rough terrain, real ownership. Every build is designed around how you actually travel, not how it looks parked.
Our Signature Series is a full body-off, down-to-the-nuts-and-washers restoration with modern drivability built in. The Warthog Series is a true refurbishment. Simple, durable, and built to be used.
If you’re at Expo West, come find us at Q70. Step inside and experience what a Defender feels like when it’s built with purpose.
Built for the way you move. This is the Defender, done right.
@Yapping_About_Cars
As a proud sponsor of Overland West, @winnebagorvs is showcasing its Backcountry ready lineup designed for life beyond the pavement. Built with off grid capability, durable materials, and practical features for extended time outdoors, these vehicles support a lifestyle rooted in freedom, comfort, and exploration. The Backcountry Series is purpose built to handle rugged terrain, remote destinations, and long days spent chasing the next horizon. Stop by booth Q58 to explore the lineup firsthand, connect with the team, and see how Winnebago vehicles are engineered to withstand the demands of life off the beaten path.
🌍 Happy Earth Day! 🌍
The Earth is the heart and soul of every overlanding journey. Its breathtaking landscapes fuel our adventures and remind us of our responsibility to protect and preserve them.
@overlandexpofoundation is dedicated to giving back through impactful initiatives like trail cleanups, wildfire reclamation, veteran mental health rehabilitation programs, and more!
