    We Get To The Voicemails... Eventually | Unfiltered | Ep 128
    Dec 1 2025
    This one’s straight from the garage: quick rig and life updates up top (the lights crushed it, it wasn’t the power-steering pump, and yes—we aired those tires way down on purpose). We traded a little friendly grief about beadlocks and link setups, then hit a short news run with gear worth watching, event notes, and a couple access items you’ll actually care about before your next trip. The back half is all you—voicemails with a solid trail win, a “learned it the hard way” moment, and one eerily on-point call about getting stuck in the sand that turned into real talk about prep, recovery, and doing it right on public land.📍 Trails and DestinationsMoab, Utah (TrailsOffroad Region Page)Sand Hollow, Utah (TrailsOffroad Region Page)Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area — AOAA (TrailsOffroad Park Page)🛠️ Gear and ToolsStarlinkAPEX Designs USA — Rapid Precision ValvePower Tank — On-Board AirBeadlock MarketplaceTYRI Off-Road Lighting🚙 Community and Advocacy GroupsBlueRibbon CoalitionStay The Trail (Colorado)Tread Lightly!🚙 Community Shoutouts@beatricejku@mudhorn_gladiator@mechanic_jk@frans_jl_adventures@srgoffroad📰 Legal and Policy TopicsBRC Updates: Recent OHV Access WinsBRC – Operation: AccessibleStay The Trail – MVUM & Smart MapsTread Lightly! – Partnerships & Support📞 Get InvolvedCall the Show: 719-408-0132Listen on Apple PodcastsFollow on InstagramVisit the WebsiteGrab the ShopCheck out TyriLights

    She's Seen A Lot, But That Freaked Her Out | Unfiltered | Ep 127
    Nov 21 2025
    JD and the crew are back to catch-up with show regulars Bryan (Beatrice JKU), Nathan (Mudhorn Gladiator) Calvin Pulda of SRG Offroad, Joe the Mechanic, and Fran Adler from Fran’s JL Adventures. The crew swaps SEMA takeaways, winter wheeling plans, and East-vs-West trail talk—from Moab and Sand Hollow to AOAA and the Ben Franklin Range—sprinkled with real-world fixes like driveshaft choices, lighting that actually helps at night, and what to pack before the snow runs. Fran adds a front-row perspective and Joe brings the wrench-turner reality check, while the gang keeps it grounded with trail etiquette and access reminders. If you’re mapping EJS prep or plotting a cold-weather shakedown, this one’s equal parts trip planning, gear wisdom, and shop-floor honesty.📍Trails and DestinationsMoab, UtahSand Hollow State Park, UtahAnthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA), PennsylvaniaBen Franklin Range, Pennsylvania🛠️ Gear and ToolsJKS Manufacturing (referenced for JL/JT fitment talk)🚙 Community ShoutoutsBryan: Beatrice JKU the LunchboxJD: MeAndMyYellowJKNathan the unpaid intern aka MudhornGladiatorFran Adler: Fran’s JL AdventuresCalvin: SRG Offroad🌎 Advocacy & ConservationStay the TrailBlueRibbon CoalitionUtah Public Lands Alliance (UPLA)📰 News TopicsSEMA trip recaps and takeaways (general discussion)EJS prep chatter and shop talk (general discussion)📅 Events and ResourcesEaster Jeep Safari (EJS)AOAA – Park Info & Events📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!

    We Had To Call Matt's Offroad Recovery | Unfiltered | E123
    Oct 31 2025
    In this reflective episode of The Trailhead, JD and the crew address “The Incident,” an unexpected Jeep accident that tested everyone’s focus, teamwork, and community spirit. They open up about what happened, how they responded, and the outpouring of support that followed from fellow off-roaders. The team talks about how the Jeep was ultimately recovered by the famous Matt’s Off-Road Recovery, a reminder of the incredible network that exists within the off-road world. It’s a candid and heartfelt conversation that sheds light on safety, camaraderie, and how quickly the off-road family rallies when things go wrong. The team also talks about lessons learned on and off the trail, the gear that helped when it mattered most, and what comes next for the show.📍Trails and DestinationsSand Hollow State Park, Utah🛠️ Gear and ToolsTyri Offroad LightsMotobiltRock Hard 4x4PSC Motorsports SteeringRecovery Gear – Factor 55🚙 Community ShoutoutsJD: MeAndMyYellowJKPope & Randi: JemandtheMisfitAlyssa: HoldMyCoffee_AZBryan: Beatrice JKU the LunchboxNathan the unpaid intern aka MudhornGladiatorRich KleinTrail HeroMatt’s Off-Road Recovery🌎 Advocacy & ConservationBlueRibbon CoalitionUtah Public Lands Alliance (UPLA)📰 News TopicsTrail Hero Safety and Community ResponseSupporting Fellow Off-Roaders After IncidentsGear Essentials for Emergency Recovery📅 Events and ResourcesTrail Hero XEaster Jeep Safari (EJS) 2025All-4-Fun 2025📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!

    "I almost had heatstroke twice on day one." | Expeditions Series | E122
    Oct 23 2025

    This episode is a recap of and marks the show’s first major adventure — a five-day overland journey spanning Utah, Arizona, and Nevada following the recording of Trail Hero: Expeditions, a new offroad reality show. The crew reflects on what it took to pull off such a massive expedition from cast to crew, from long travel days and desert heat to the rewarding moments around camp. Listeners will hear stories of breathtaking sunrise views at the Grand Canyon, challanging moments, and the lessons learned while navigating new terrain. This episode captures our side of the Trail Hero Expeditions story — the behind-the-scenes chaos, the laughs, and the moments that tied it all together — before we hand the mic to the individual teams whose interviews will roll out over the coming weeks.

    Oct 16 2025
    JD sits down with Rich Klein—founder of Trail Hero and mind behind the brand-new Trail Hero Expeditions reality series—for an inside look at the 570-mile, five-day overlanding challenge that zig-zagged through Arizona, Nevada, and Utah and is airing on Speed Sport 1. From jaw-dropping sunsets above Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon rim to campfire camaraderie at Sand Hollow State Park, they unpack what it takes to film a TV show entirely off-road—plus a few behind-the-scenes miracles that kept production rolling. Rich explains how casting works, why smaller-tire rigs can still shine, and what’s in store for Season 2 (applications are open!). 📍Trails and DestinationsSand Hollow State Park, UtahZion National Park, UtahGrand Canyon – Whitmore Overlook, ArizonaDrummond Island, Michigan🛠️ Gear and ToolsTyri Offroad LightsRideDog GPS TrackerWarn Winch (official site)🚙 Community ShoutoutsAdam: RideDogGlenn PlakeJD: MeAndMyYellowJKRich Klein: Trail Hero🌎 Advocacy & ConservationBlueRibbon CoalitionUtah Public Lands Alliance (UPLA)📰 News TopicsTrail Hero Expeditions Season 1 TV DebutTrail Hero 2025 Event Preview📅 Events and ResourcesTrail Hero 2025Apply for Trail Hero Expeditions Season 2📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!

The pair also cover the proposed Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act, the power of calling your senators, and practical tips for writing persuasive, trail-saving feedback.
