6 Awesome DIY Overland Rigs at Expo PNW — Their Stories in 4 Questions!

Welcome to Overland Expo Pacific Northwest 2025 @OverlandExpo in Redmond, Oregon! This year I parked the JaYoe Van in the DIY Showcase, and instead of just filming my own rig, I wanted to highlight the incredibly creative community around me. So I decided to visit six DIY rigs and ask each builder the same four questions: 1️⃣ What’s your story — and what’s your rig? 2️⃣ What’s your favorite component or upgrade? 3️⃣ What’s the #1 component you still wish you had? 4️⃣ What’s the best destination you’ve visited so far? Featured in this video: • Travis & Karyn Caplette — Mitsubishi FUSO FG 4×4 expedition truck (tnroverland.com) • Kathleen Gardner — Subaru Crosstrek built for the Rebelle Rally • Ford Transit 350HD build — beautifully outfitted pro-level build (owner & dog “Scruffy”) • Carina & Chris (w/ Henri) — Enduro SuperTourer on a Ford F250 (momentarylocals.com) @momentarylocals • Bevan Walsh — M2 Ambulance 4WD conversion / camper • Seth Arnesen — 1995 Chevy Astro van w/ pet pig passenger (yakvanadventures) @SethArnesen Every vehicle has its own story, its own purpose, and its own unique “favorite feature” — from power systems to storage tricks to creature comforts. Overland Expo is one of the best places to meet the makers behind these builds, and the DIY area is always where the most creative ideas show up. Hope you enjoy this walk-through of the rigs and the people who built them! 🗺️ Van & Trike Tour Map: https://bit.ly/vantriketour 🎁 50% Off Your Own Map: https://bit.ly/mappromo 🌎 Overland Expo: https://www.overlandexpo.com/ 🚴 Ride by AZUB: https://azub.eu 📸 Rebelle Rally: https://www.rebellerally.com ——— SUPPORT ME ——— PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/JaYoe BUY ME A COFFEE: https://ko-fi.com/jayoe SHOP ON JAYOE: https://jayoe.com/jayoe-gear-and-merch/ SEND ME ON WECHAT: http://jayoe.com/wechat/ JAYOE MEMBERSHIP: https://www.youtube.com/JaYoeNation/join ⸻ Follow me on the Internets… WEBSITE: http://www.jayoe.com WECHAT: mattyg BilliBIlli: https://space.bilibili.com/100182773 Douyin: 加油马特 Toutiao: http://toutiao.com/m1681328028969998/ YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/JaYoeNation FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/JaYoeLife/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jayoelife/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/jayoelife REDBUBBLE STORE: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/jayoe PERSONAL FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/mcgalat PODCAST: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-jayoe!/id1044254053?mt=2 STRAVA: https://www.strava.com/athletes/21659886 GARMIN: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/profile/JaYoeLife ⸻ ——— TRIKE BREAKDOWN ——— I ride an AZUB Ti-FLY X recumbent trike — here’s a full detailed breakdown of my build: ▶️ Watch the full trike breakdown video: https://youtu.be/oIdLzM4EtaA ——— JAYOE MERCHANDISE ON REDBUBBLE ——— https://www.redbubble.com/shop/jayoe ⸻ —–– WHAT DOES JAYOE MEAN? ——— https://youtu.be/4m7t4Vt1Ir8 ⸻ —–– OTHER SERIES ON THE JAYOE NATION —–– CLIMB UP MOUNT EVEREST – Watch my Everest summit expedition! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCXSKSR1qp-vsnzp_JW0t7Os2EEkyjt_P RIDE ACROSS KOREA – Watch me ride across South Korea! https://jayoe.com/south-korea/ MARATHON IN NORTH KOREA – Join me as I run a marathon in North Korea, DPRK! https://youtu.be/DJxsu10VNwA RIDE ACROSS JAPAN – Watch me cycle across Japan! https://jayoe.com/japan/ RIDE ACROSS TAIWAN – Watch me cycle across Taiwan! https://jayoe.com/taiwan/ VLOGGER 1on1 – Interviewing unique vloggers from around the world http://jayoe.com/vlogger1on1/ #JaYoe #RecumbentTrike #AZUB #CyclingLife #RideAZUB #Rohloff #Shimano #Ortlieb #Schwalbe #TektroBrakes #TrikeTouring #BikeTouring #CyclingAdventure #HumanPowered #AdventureTravel #VanAndTrikeTour
