Pelican Equipped Adventure-Ready Vehicles at Overland Expo SoCal 2025

April 7, 2025

On March 15-16, 2025, Overland Expo SoCal took place at the OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, CA. Event organizers brought the popular show to California for the first time, kicking off the first of five expos throughout the year. It continues to be a unique event that brings the overlanding and outdoor community together to celebrate new products and brand innovation while creating a platform for enthusiasts.

With a break in the weather, the sunny two-day event provided Pelican with the perfect opportunity to connect with attendees and showcase new products in an approachable, hands-on setting. A variety of products were on display including Pelican Cargo and Adventure TX Cases, the all-new Pelican TRVL collection, Micro and Ruck Cases, lighting, and accessories. RPM OffRoad Garage’s stunning Land Cruiser, outfitted with Pelican Cargo Cases, was also on display in the Pelican booth, drawing plenty of attention. Beyond product interaction, reuniting in person with Team Pelican members, engaging with industry professionals, and being immersed in the community made for an incredible way to experience the inaugural event in Southern California—right in the brand’s backyard.

Throughout the showgrounds, Pelican was prominently featured on a variety of adventure-ready rigs, showcasing the brand’s durability and versatility in real-world overlanding setups. From fully outfitted trucks to custom-built campers, these rigs demonstrated how Pelican seamlessly integrates into any adventure, providing rugged storage and reliable protection for every mission.
