..It was off the hook this year and it looks like the offroad economy has picked up even though the reat of the economy is still down..
..I ran into DB_1, Stic-o, Zukman, Brian1, and a ton of other people as it was packed and everyone was buying...I myself kept loading the truck up each day but on a mush smaller scale..
..I know Froader was heading out there but did not see him..
..Did anyone else head out there and what all did you purchase?

Good seeing you guys out there
This is probably the first year I didn't grab any stickers...I still have a lot from past years that I still haven't used. I tried to refrain from koozie collecting also but managed to grab one from poly performance.
I had a couple planned purchased going into the expo and they happened to be in the same building. Picked up a new OBA hose from Powertank...I have a coiled hose currently but I find it annoying to use since it's always tugging on the valve stem. I got a straight hose which should be nicer to use aside from having to roll it up.
Picked up 3 more rolls of rescue tape to throw in the toolbox for trail repairs. Bought some at last years expo and it seems to work pretty good.
Had one unplanned purchase leaving the expo, I forget the vendors name but they were at KOH also selling off brand winches and accessories. I picked up one of their LED camping lanterns that have 2 "ears" that flip up and twist to any angle you want. I figured for 10 bucks you can't go wrong
Finally, went to the Red Bull Straight Rhythm event at the drag strip and it was a good event for the most part. It was just over 100 degrees with no shade and on blacktop so not much relief unless you hung out under the bleachers. The food and drink lines were constantly long...would've liked to see a few more drink (water, gatorade, etc.) only vendors.

Actually didn't buy anything. ...was looking for a new tow strap, but wasn't happy with what I found. Also wasn't ready to drop $200 for a Bubba rope I was also looking for a Y strap, but no one makes a generic one, they are all custom. I was told ORW had Mastercraft make a bunch, but I couldn't find them at the show
I did go home and order a new stereo for the SD though

Good seeing you guys! I just got back from my California tour late last night.
I had intentions of buying 2 things at the show but didn't get either. No big deal, I will get them later as they were both small items. I will be upgrading my Bend-Tech software after talking with them at the show.
I was at the show all day Saturday and then only for a few hours Sunday. Had to run an errand to Simi Valley Sunday morning. Best part was finding myself outside at the Fox booth at the close of the show and all the desert trucks, short course truck, sand car and Campbell's Ultra 4 fire up at the same time and drive off.
And Stic-o, I used a Bubba Rope again this week several times and I am still impressed with it - both the quality and the way it works. I Looked at the Voodoo ropes closely at the show and I don't think they are that great.
