All set for the country’s first 4×4 Expo

As a final nod before the holidays officially kick in, Black Rhino Wheels and Nitto Tires will be opening the first “4×4 EXPO” in the Philippines. The event is set to be the largest gathering of 4×4 vehicles, bringing together “overlanding” enthusiasts to promote the outdoor lifestyle, as well as the passions for off roading rigs. The expo will be held on the weekend of Sept. 28 and 29, 2019, at Arcovia City in Pasig City.

The vision for the 4×4 EXPO is to be the venue for enthusiasts to gather as a community to  enjoy the different aspects of the outdoor lifestyle. Arcovia City will be providing 15,000 sqm of property to accommodate a variety of activities. One of the highlights of the weekend will be a fully functional off-roading track, where beginners (or even non-beginners) can learn the basics of safe driving over uneven terrain. The track would include makeshift sand dunes, dirt road, and even a water-wading moat.

Another activity that visitors can look forward to would be the participation of trusted automotive accessory brands that are preferred among off-road enthusiasts in upgrading their vehicles, and making these geared up and ready for the drive. Apart from the main presenters, Black Rhino Wheels and Nitto Tires, brands that will be having display booths include Bilstein, PIAA, Motul, Overland Kings, CTEK, Coleman, among others. There will also be scheduled tech talks by some sponsors that will discuss how to make overlanding a safe hobby to have, and how to get ready for the trails.

Lastly, a gathering will be nothing without a showcase of impressive 4×4 rigs and vehicles by the industry’s enthusiasts. Visitors can expect a full lineup that will highlight today’s off-road styling and upgrade techniques. Not only will there be individual displays, but also participation from some of the country’s biggest car clubs, such as the Land Rover Club, Jeep Club, Terra Nation, Jimny Club, Raptor Group, Montero Sport United, to name a few.

The 4×4 EXPO is also supported by notable car brands, like Chevrolet, GAC Motors, Isuzu, Jeep, Land Rover, Mitsubishi Motors and Suzuki. These brands will be showcasing vehicle models that are slated for the off-road lifestyle and how these can be customized for the sport.

So to those who are interested to learn more about overlanding or even just to get a feel of what it takes to traverse the great outdoors, mark your calendars for the country’s biggest 4×4 get together. The 4×4 EXPO happens at the end of the month and it’s set to bring a whole new perspective to local road travel.
