WHILE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY EXPERIENCED SOME FORM OF WET, WINTRY OR ICY CONDITIONS, THE SUN WAS SHINING AT THE THIRD ANNUAL OFF-ROAD EXPO IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA. Held March 2-3, 2019, at the WestWorld event center, the expo is an offshoot of the long-running event of the same name that occurs in September at the L.A. County Fairplex in Pomona, California.
The expo offered an array of of-road companies displaying their parts, equipment, services and gear. From of-road racing to rock crawling, trail riding to sand sports, motorcycles and UTVs to camping and overlanding/adventure travel, enthusiasts came out to meet and talk with representatives from dozens of of-road industry stalwarts.
