Four-Wheeler Magazine's Overland Adventure in California in October

Four-Wheeler Magazine is hosting another Overland Adventure event in October. This year it's in California. They are taking sign-ups now thru August 8th. Go to their website for additional info. & to sign-up for this event.

https://www.motortrend.com/events/20...e-application/

I was lucky enough to be picked for the 2021 event held in Utah and had an absolute blast! If you scroll through the pics from last year you will get an idea of what the event is. You will also see a few picks of my van...

It may seem a bit pricy, but the amount of swag they handed out and the deals they gave, plus a brand-new set (5) of Falken WildPeak tires for each participant made it worth every penny.

Super cool. I will say we're going to expect a stellar trip report, and lots of pics.

Falken just released their video of the trip.

They provided a set of at3w tires for me. Quick plug for these tires! I was re-routed Thursday through the west hills of Portland during a snow storm. It was really dicey conditions and waze sent me on the WORST roads I could drive on and I was pulling a trailer. The Falkens were amazing and I powered up very steep roads with 90 degree hairpins all the way to the top of the hills. I'm a huge fan.
