We get to hangout this week with Gabe from @battlereadyrigs and talk about his "slightly" modified '97 Jeep XJ. Our good buddy Neal @nealskis who knows Gabe from his Subie days joins us for a bit as well. Gabe's XJ is not your basic grocery getter though. He's cut the back off and made it into a flatbed, slapped some 35's on it along with some other mods and hits the trails hard. We talk about how he got into modding vehicles with his family growing up. With everything from VW's to rock crawlers. How he got a his first taste of overlanding with his Subaru to wanting to go harder on the trails.

Ben took his new Porsche Cayenne out on its maiden voyage. Him and our buddy Mark @landcruserdoods made a day run to checkout a local fire lookout. We also talk about some new gear they tested out, some throw back to the tuners days and some cool upcoming events.

We got our buddy Mike @flatbedtundra on the show with us this week. Not only does Mike have a nicely setup Tundra with a flatbed, he also custom built a trailer that is probably more dialed in than most trucks. When he decided to remove the bed of his truck and go with a flatbed he had a vision. Why waste a perfectly good truck bed? Why not turn it into a sick, overly built overland trailer! We talk about the build process and testing it out in places like Mojave and Anza Borrego. Tune in as we may have also discovered the next sleeper, overland rig.
-
We were finally able to get our friend Aim @overlandpriority to join us on the show! Not only does he go on some awesome adventures, he also has some amazing photography, which you can check out on his other page @aimlorejas_photography. He didn't always have all the cool gear and rad rig. He shares where he started and the evolution into where he is now. He may travel as a solo vehicle but he doesn't go it alone. His whole family is along for the ride!

They also dive into wedding dress attire and pie for desert.

This week we had a great time getting to know Leeno from Ibis Offroad @ibisoffroad. Leeno gives us the run down on the offroad scene where he's from in Florida. Aside from having to deal with recovering in the marshland mud and the occasional gator, overlanding is pretty similar on the opposite coast. With Ibis Offroad he takes people out on guided trail adventures. From more advanced wheeling to the first timers. Offering training on how to self recover and being prepared with first aid. We also talk breakdowns, tires, airboats and other adventures.

Our first guest of 2024 is our buddy Adam @adam.m.queen. Photography is his profession and he's been fortunate enough to be able to call home anywhere he feels like pulling up. Whether it's down by the beach or parked along a river up in the mountains. He makes this easier by driving a well put together Revel Sprinter van. We not only dive into van life but overall life. We share our thoughts on food, cool places, YouTube, whiskey, and whatever we feel like. Hangout with us and a have a few laughs.
