This week we talk to @jillianrebekah joins us in the studio. We talk to her about how and why she found herself on the path of an outdoor adventure seeker, her journey in to the offroad world, and what she has learned about being in the social media spotlight. We talk about what her plans are going forward and we can not wait to see how far she goes. Thank you, Jillian for being part of the show.

Presented by Nexen Tire and Icon Vehicle Dynamics: This week we talk to Travis from @outer_limit_supply about their awesome life safety gear. Then we catch up on listener voice mails, talk about home made rockets, hit-n-runs, and moose knuckle. It really isn't our best work, but you should listen anyway.

Presented by Nexen Tire and Icon Vehicle Dynamics: This week we talk to Adam Pfeifer (@oh_that_1_dude) about how he rolled his Jeep at King of the Hammers in epic fashion. Fortunately, Adam came out OK. We are trying to convince him to buy a Ranger or a Tacoma, but I don't think it's working. Joe joins us in the studio to talk about some of the lessons learned from the KOH crash.

Presented by Nexen Tire and I con Vehicle Dynamics: The event that Icon Vehicle Dynamics put on, in conjunction with Trigger Controller and Shift Pods, aimed to bring the Overlanding community to KOH so that they could experience it for themselves and realize how much there was for them there. Social Media creators (@Adventure.Ovrlnd, @SoCalTacomas, @McVenture016, @JillianRebekah, @TheTrailTrek, @TrailRecon) and companies (@Mountain_Hatch, @ShowerPouch, @KCHilites, @LGE_CTSmotorsports) came together to share their unique perspective and products with the others in the group. As participants in the event, we (Cody, Matt, Jose, Casey, and Joe) got to Overland camp, run some off road trails, and spectate an amazing race. It was as close to Utopia as I think you can get.

Presented by @nexentireusa and @ivdynamics Listeners Mark (@webberlander) and Lauren (@happycamper512) teach us everything we need to know about rooftop tents and now we want one. Cody, Matt, and Jose talk about the plan for #koh and we don't think we are going to make it out alive!

Presented by Nexen Tire & Icon Vehicle Dynamics: Danny from @syndicate.offroad tells us about the new #overland trailers they are building. Then, @ivdsuspension comes on so that we can announce that Icon Vehicle Dynamics is the newest sponsor of the show. We are extremely excited about this new partnership and we will be kicking it off with a bang at #koh2020

This week, Rory from AAC Brands and @triggercontroller joins us to talk about their innovative products and the new hardware they are distributing. We listen to voice mails and I think Matt needs to see a doctor.

We talk to Joe Cardenas from @joecal_tacomas @socaltacomas @socalyotas @_lifes_trails @bjjmojo We talk about how he has a full time job managing #instagram pages, a full time job working for @leitnerdesigns and a full time job selling fruit...not on the corner though. Thanks Joe, we had a great time!

We are giving away a set of Nexen Roadian MTX Tires from @nexentireusa Listen to the episode to find out how you can #enter and #win the #contest We also talk to Casey Sisson about the awesome #yj he is building and you get to hear how one of us almost died this weekend. 

We look at some of the new electric trucks coming out in the near future and discuss them as if we have any business buying one. As much as we would like to get our hands on a @rivian @atlisMV @tesla @bollingermotors I don't think they will let us take it out on the trail for a test drive.  @nexentireusa

We talk to Paul Jho, the Motorsports Senior Manager for @nexentireusa about Nexen being the official sponsor of The Trailchasers Podcast. Then, Cody tries to talk Matt and Jose out of joining the Storm Area 51 movement and I think it backfires on him.

We talk to the guys @syndicate.offroad about an event they have coming up @stonebrewing in Escondido. Then, Cody & Matt talk about how they are completely falling apart and we just just be put down. Seriously, how are we still alive?

As you know, Cody gets lost, a lot! So we had Erica Sacks on the show to try and fix what's wrong with him. Spoiler Alert, It didn't work. At least we get to hear the story of how Erica started racing with her dad and has earned her place in the offroad world. We also talk about her newest adventure, Waypoint Nav School, where she is teaching people like to Cody how to find themselves.

We discuss our installation of the @whiteknuckleoffroadproducts sliders on Jose's #80series #landcruiser. Then we talk about our trip from Pioneertown to Big Bear. Apparently, Cody didn't read his own itinerary and Jose tried to kill everyone.

This week, we look back on the start of Matt's path towards the Podcast Hall of Fame...from there, it's pretty much off the rails, as you would suspect.

Even though he didn't want to come home, Cody is back from vacation in Cabo. The guys get together on a quick video chat to discuss Cody's trip, our new Baja Guide, Luis, we say thank you to @mountain_hatch for the gracious support, and discuss the potential closure of #oceanodunes #pismobeach  

Cody and Jose speculate on what Matt had to do that was more important than recording the show. Then we talk about Father's Day, Why we got some crappy iTunes reviews, talk about some of the articles written about the show, and finally talk about a bunch of upcoming events in the offroad community.

After Matt makes it clear that he no longer wants to work with Cody, we discuss a topic sent in by a listener about going from a Wangler to something more economical. Then we talk to Melinda Raussell, Founder of the International Women's Motorsports Association @iwmanation

While Cody is off on Daddy-Duty, Jose comes in and picks up the slack. Matt and Jose talk about Mojave, the Frontier, and some craziness, which should be expected. Thanks to Jose for being a clutch-hitter. And just for the record, I didn't think Val Kilmer was bad as Batman.

We made it through the desert and NOBODY DIED! We talk about our recent trip on the Mojave Trail and interview a few of the listeners that joined us for the trip. We may, or may not, have gotten lost a few times. You will have to listen to find out.

Matt and Cody talk about all the nerdy mapping tools we use to create the maps for our trips. Then, we walk through the upcoming #mojavetrail trip. If you are interested in joining us for Memorial Day weekend 2019, go to www.trailchasers.net/mojave2019

We talk to Steve from @ruggedrocks and @ruggedroutes about the work he has done in the #nissan offroad space and in #gps routing. We discover that Steve is a mad scientist that hangs out with people on the International Space Station! We had a really good conversation with Steve and hope to be able to connect with him again soon.

This week we talk about the recent blog update that recaps our #cleghorn run and when we stopped by the @syndicate.offroad meet-n-greet. Then, we get a full taste of jealousy after talking to Sean Harwood from @big_island_offroad #syndiacte.offroad #syndicatejeepclub #syndicateyotas #airdownoffroad #tombelljeep @nexentireusa

We recap the time that Cody spent in #bigbear and #cougarbuttes on the @nexentireusa #roadianmtx tire test, then we talk to Robert from @otwellweldingandfabrication about his awesome Gen 1 #tacoma and his amazing fabrication skills

We have interviews with @unboundmo @otwellweldingandfabrication @slickrockgear @atomicmonkeyindustries @currirenterprises @airdown_offroad and @nexentireusa Then, we make an attempt to talk about some UFO stuff (because we keep teasing it) and it goes so far off the rails, we had to scrap most of it. We will be back to normal next week.

We talk to Chase & Jackie Gentry about @adventure.ovrlnd, @gentrygym and all the hard work that goes in to making it all work. These two have a great story and they are inspiring on so many levels. We appreciated the chance to talk to them and look forward to all the things they will accomplish in the future.

Matt, Jose, and Cody are sitting around the booth at the @4wpriverside talkin' trash and sharing random information that has no value at all.

Cody's house was attacked by the plague and Matt was smart enough to stay away. Because we had to cancel the interviews we had planned, we decided to do a call on Matt's drive home from work to just catch up on some things.

Daves mysterious champion race car driver wife makes an appearance and you get to learn why dave won't ride in a race car with her any more. its all good fun.

Dave and the guys delve into the murky waters of online forum searching and discuss the intricacies of obtaining your information from a bunch of goons behind keyboards. Russo puts his foolhardy money on a used LS1 and your learn how to obtain a little more than he on your next used motor purchase. Also, more bad jokes.
