Motobilt Was Born In Baghdad | Waypoints | Ep 148

Saison 4 · Épisode 148

samedi 18 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:03:46

JD sits down with Dan DuBose from Motobilt for a deeper look at the person behind one of the most recognized names in Jeep armor, off-road fabrication, and the sport itself. Dan walks through his early days building bumpers because he could not afford to buy them, the Blue Torch FabWorks era, his reality TV detour, and the long road to building Motobilt into a serious Made-in-USA manufacturing operation. The conversation hits Jeep Wrangler mods, rock crawler builds, Sand Hollow, BILTCON, off-road business lessons, and why quality parts matter when you are actually using your rig. Dan also talks about family, burnout, a major health wake-up call, and the difference between building a product catalog and building a company that can support real people. If you care about Jeep armor, off-road fabrication, rock crawling, or the humans behind the brands we trust on the trail, this one is worth the listen.

Angela Rickerson Knows One Speed | Waypoints | Ep 147

Saison 4 · Épisode 147

dimanche 14 juin 2026 • Durée 01:06:23

JD is joined by Angela Rickerson, the Seattle-based driver behind Ronda Rhino, for a conversation about Jeep life, Rebelle Rally, Pacific Northwest rock crawling, and the messy, rewarding path into off-roading. Angela shares how a 2017 two-door Jeep Wrangler went from “cool preschool drop-off rig” to a heavily built desert rally and rock crawling machine. The episode digs into Rebelle Rally endurance, sponsorship realities, stunt driving, DirtFish-style rally training, Jeep clubs, women in off-road, and why good spotting beats “just send it” every single time. If you’re into Jeep Wrangler builds, women off-roaders, rally driving, rock crawling, or just finding your people on the trail, this one is absolutely worth the ride.

Locked Out Of Your Own Repair | Waypoints | Ep 146

Saison 4 · Épisode 146

samedi 30 mai 2026 • Durée 01:46:15

JD is joined by Bryan, Calvin, Nathan, along with Chris Bailey and Joey Seavolt, for a focused Trailhead roundtable on Right to Repair, Jeep mods, vehicle data access, DIY wrenching, and the future of aftermarket parts. The crew connects the John Deere repair fight to what off-roaders are already seeing with locked-down ECUs, security gateway modules, subscription features, Tazer/JScan workarounds, and newer Jeep systems that make simple modifications feel way more complicated than they should. Joey brings the repair-shop perspective, Chris talks about the value of older, more mechanical Jeeps, and the whole panel digs into what happens when vehicle ownership starts feeling more like a software license. 🔥 From the REPAIR Act and SEMA’s Warrior Right to Repair push to the simple act of teaching kids how to change oil, this one is about keeping the garage, the driveway, and the trail alive for the next generation.

They Don’t Want You In The Backcountry | BRC Update | Ep 145

Saison 4 · Épisode 145

mardi 26 mai 2026 • Durée 01:13:08

JD is joined by Ben Burr from Blue Ribbon Coalition for a straight-up land access scoreboard on the fights shaping the future of motorized recreation. Ben breaks down the rescission of the BLM Public Lands Rule, the Roadless Rule fight, Moab route reassessments, the San Rafael Swell, WEMO closures in the Western Mojave Desert, and why the minimization criteria could become a serious threat to OHV access nationwide. They also talk about local advocacy groups, fieldwork, the Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act, and why off-roaders need to submit meaningful comments instead of assuming someone else has it covered. If you care about public land access, trail closures, Jeep trails, overlanding, OHV routes, or keeping backcountry roads open for people who cannot simply hike in, this episode is one to share.

Trail Hero Expeditions Cooked Their Jeep | THX Series #8 | Ep 144

Saison 4 · Épisode 144

lundi 18 mai 2026 • Durée 01:29:23

JD sits down with Bo Parham and Josh Hull of Jackson Off-Road for another Trail Hero Expeditions Interview Series episode, and this one has the perfect mix of overlanding, rock crawling, Jeep prep, desert chaos, and paramedic-level problem solving. Bo and Josh talk about how they got into off-roading, how their friendship grew from work into camping and trail runs, and why their Cherokee was the rig they trusted for a multi-day Trail Hero X adventure. They break down Expert-level navigation, sand, heat, overheating issues, cracked iPads, tire challenges, recovery ideas, and the kind of camp camaraderie that does not always make the TV edit. The story behind the Jackson Off-Road name adds some heart, while the guys’ advice for future competitors is simple: have patience, get organized, and step outside your comfort zone. If you want a behind-the-scenes look at Trail Hero Expeditions from the team that ran it hard, fixed what they had to, and still came home friends, this is the one.

He Built the Bag He Couldn’t Buy | Waypoint Series | Ep 143

Saison 3 · Épisode 143

lundi 4 mai 2026 • Durée 01:03:42

JD sits down with Virgil from NorthBound Expeditions and NBX Trail Gear for a laid-back conversation about Jeeps, handmade gear, and the kind of trips that stick with you long after you get home. Virgil shares how he went from growing up in Luxembourg to building a life in Nova Scotia, serving in the Canadian Army, creating overland content, and turning his own need for better storage into NBX Trail Gear. The conversation gets into his JK “Fury,” his new 2025 Gladiator build, G.A.R.B. bags, custom trail gear, Cordura fabric, YouTube storytelling, and why good overlanding gear usually comes from people who actually spend time on the trail. JD and Virgil also talk about Eastern Canada travel, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick woods restrictions, and how quickly access issues can hit a community when nobody is organized to push back. This one is a good hang for anyone who loves Jeep builds, overlanding, handmade trail gear, and the stories behind small companies in the off-road world.

They Can Close A Trail By Pretending It Never Existed | Waypoints | Ep 148

Saison 4 · Épisode 148

vendredi 1 mai 2026 • Durée 01:09:06

JD sits down with Chad Hixon, Executive Director of the Trails Preservation Alliance, for a deep conversation about off-road access, single-track trails, public lands, trail closures, and the future of motorized recreation. Chad shares how growing up in Howard, Colorado, a lifetime of motorcycles, kayaking, skiing, and stewardship eventually led him into full-time trail advocacy. The episode digs into the origins of TPA, the importance of single-track and two-track connectivity, and why Jeep trails, dirt bike routes, ATV access, and public land roads are all tied together. JD and Chad also break down the Public Lands Access Restoration Act, MVUM confusion, Hackett Gulch, trail signage, volunteer agreements, and why national groups and local clubs both need support. If you care about trail access advocacy and keeping public lands open for future generations, this one is worth your time.

Couples That Wheel Together, Win | THX Series #7 | Ep 142

Saison 3 · Épisode 146

lundi 27 avril 2026 • Durée 01:52:06

JD sits down with Steve and Katie Botkin of Epic Adventure Duo for a fun, grounded conversation about marriage, overlanding, and the kind of off-road life that’s built on real miles instead of parking-lot hype. They talk through how camping, dirt bikes, and years of Jeep ownership led them to Trail Hero Expeditions, where their expert navigation, camp rhythm, and well-used Gladiator helped carry them to a third-place finish. Along the way, they swap stories from Moab, Sand Hollow, Baja, and Montana snow wheeling, plus a few challenge moments that were equal parts chaos and comedy. The episode also gets into gear choices, trail strategy, and why the Grand Canyon stretch of the route became one of the most memorable parts of the whole experience. If you like real-world adventure couples, capable rigs, and honest trail talk without the fluff, this one’s worth your time.

Is This The End of Me & My Yellow JK? | Unfiltered | Ep 141

Saison 3 · Épisode 141

lundi 20 avril 2026 • Durée 01:46:47

JD is joined by Bryan, Calvin, and Joe for a live show packed with Easter Jeep Safari 2026 reactions, Moab complaints, busted parts, and the official death of JD’s long-running lifetime Jeep warranty. The crew recaps Coyote Canyon, Metal Masher, Behind the Rocks, and the general chaos around EJS, including speed-limit changes, enforcement, expensive lodging, and why the event feels less friendly to regular wheelers than it used to. They also tear into Jeep’s latest concept vehicles, giving credit where it’s due but calling out the stuff that feels more like recycled trim packages than real ideas. Joe talks through the madness of fixing rigs in and around BFG Garage, Calvin reports fresh post-EJS breakage, and JD admits the JK may finally be nearing the end of the road while he starts thinking about what comes next. Add TYRI lights, prototype-vehicle chatter, off-road recovery liability, right-to-repair teasers, and one completely ridiculous argument about a 12-volt hot dog roller, and this one feels like classic Trailhead chaos in the best way—so give it a listen, then leave a voicemail with your vote on what the crew should tackle next.

They Signed With Zero Plan | THX Series #6 | Ep 140

Saison 3 · Épisode 140

lundi 13 avril 2026 • Durée 01:45:03

JD sits down with Brian Ritchie and Jeff Hesse of Team GenRight Offroad for a hilarious, honest Trail Hero Expeditions recap that feels more like campfire bench racing than a formal interview. The guys talk about how Brian jumped from overlanding into a full rock-crawling build, how Jeff got dragged into the adventure with almost no off-road background, and how Moab, Sand Hollow, Windrock, and Whitmore Canyon shaped what they now want out of the sport. From a sketchy tire-change challenge and a near-empty fuel tank to poolside chaos, pork nachos, and late-night campfire stories, this episode captures the friendship, humor, and mayhem that made Trail Hero Expeditions memorable. There’s also a bigger conversation here about overlanding versus technical wheeling, what makes a great off-road event, and why public land access matters when your rig becomes your way to keep exploring. If you like Jeep builds, overlanding, rock crawling, Moab trail talk, Sand Hollow stories, and off-road TV behind-the-scenes chaos, this one is worth the ride.
