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

    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

    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. 📍Trails and Destinations Nova Scotia ATV, Off-road, and 4-WheelingNew Brunswick Overland AdventureGaspésie Peninsula, QuebecNorthern Quebec / NunavikVermont 🛠️ Gear and Tools NBX Trail GearG.A.R.B. 2.1XXL GARB 2.1Tailgate G.A.R.B.5 lbs Propane Tank Carrier 2.011 lbs Propane Tank CarrierBouge RV Diesel Heater BagChainsaw BagGriddle BagMassive Annex BagOverlander Travel BagMulti Purpose Kit Bag / Air Compressor BagRebel Off Road Flatbed Tray and Canopy SystemAlu-Cab Canopy Camper DeluxeTune M1 Truck CamperFIFTYTEN Off-Road CampersCORDURA Advanced FabricsTrasharooRockJock 4x42025 Jeep GladiatorGoPro Cameras 🚙 Community Shoutouts 395JNKYJD: MeAndMyYellowJKNorthBound Expeditions on YouTubeNorthBound Expeditions on InstagramNorthBound Expeditions on FacebookVirgil from NorthBound Expeditions 🌎 Advocacy & Conservation BlueRibbon CoalitionUtah Public Lands Alliance 📰 News Topics Nova Scotia Travel and Activities in Woods Restricted to Prevent WildfiresNova Scotia Provincewide Woods Ban Court RulingNew Brunswick Fire Watch and Outdoor Activity Restrictions 📅 Events and Resources NBX Adventure New BrunswickNBX Planning ResourcesNBX Minimum RequirementsNB Expedition - BeginningsNorthBound Expeditions BlogNorthBound Expeditions Media / Adventure Driven Productions 📞 Get involved!

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

    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

    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. 📍Trails and Destinations Moab Area Trails, Utah Coyote Canyon, Utah Metal Masher, Utah Behind the Rocks, Utah Hell’s Revenge, Utah Fins and Things, Utah Pritchett Canyon, Utah Yansing Gulch (Chinaman Gulch), Colorado Carnage Canyon, Colorado Sand Hollow State Park, Utah 🛠️ Gear and Tools TYRI 1313 LED Lights TYRI D8 Lights TYRI 1010 LED Lights Adams Driveshaft JE Reel Driveline Rock Slide Engineering 12V Hot Dog Cooker 🚙 Community Shoutouts Bryan: Beatrice JKU the Lunchbox Calvin: SRG Offroad JD: MeAndMyYellowJK Joe: Mechanic_JK Luna & Marlon: OffRoad N Chill 🌎 Advocacy & Conservation Utah Public Lands Alliance BlueRibbon Coalition 📰 News Topics 2026 Jeep Concept Vehicles at Easter Jeep Safari Jeep Brand Rolls Into the 60th Easter Jeep Safari Jeep at Easter Jeep Safari 📅 Events and Resources Easter Jeep Safari 2026 Trail Hero 2026 Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion 2026 Jeep Beach 2026 SEMA Show 2026 📞 Get involved!

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

    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. 📍Trails and Destinations Sand Hollow State Park, Utah Sand Mountain, Utah Moab Area Trails Whitmore Overlook, Arizona Windrock Park, Tennessee 🛠️ Gear and Tools Rock Krawler Suspension AEV DualSport Suspension Ultimate Dana 60 Axles ARB Air Locker RPM Steering GenRight JK Roll Cage PRP Seats & Harnesses WARN Winches MORRFlate Badger Welder 🚙 Community Shoutouts Brian Ritchie: Livin2Relax GenRight Off Road JD: MeAndMyYellowJK Jeff Hesse: Team GenRight Offroad Rich Klein / Trail Hero 🌎 Advocacy & Conservation BlueRibbon Coalition Tread Lightly!

    JD sits down with Aaron Wedeking and Jason DeArmond from Team Number Two for a fun, honest recap of their Trail Hero Expeditions run. The conversation covers Aaron’s long history in off-road and PRP Seats, Jason’s marketing background and Number 2 brand, and the chaos of running Trail Hero Expeditions in a mostly stock 4Runner on undersized tires. They get into overlanding, trail riding, off-road camping, 4Runner build choices, desert adventure, team dynamics, camp life, and the moments that made this route across Nevada, Arizona, and Utah stick with them. If you want the real story behind the show, the vehicle, the jokes, and why both of these guys would absolutely do it again, this one’s worth the ride. 📍Trails and Destinations Whitmore Overlook / Whitmore Canyon, Arizona Lime Kiln Canyon, Nevada Bar 10 Ranch, Arizona Strip Arizona Strip Road, Utah Zion National Park, Utah Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona 🛠️ Gear and Tools PRP Seats Polaris RZR Pro R Dirt King MT Trail Runner Kit for Toyota 4Runner MORRFlate ICECO Portable Fridges Blackstone Griddles GoPro 🚙 Community Shoutouts Aaron Wedeking — PRP Seats Jason DeArmond — Number 2 Marketing JD: MeAndMyYellowJK Nathan aka MudhornGladiator Rich Klein — Trail Hero 🌎 Advocacy & Conservation Utah Public Lands Alliance BlueRibbon Coalition 📰 News Topics Trail Hero Expeditions Season Two Trail Hero X at CasaBlanca 📅 Events and Resources Trail Hero X Trail Hero 📞 Get involved!

    Does Easter Jeep Safari Matter Anymore? | Unfiltered | Ep 138

    JD is joined by Bryan (Beatrice JKU the Lunchbox) and Calvin (SRG Offroad) for a loose, funny, and brutally honest conversation about whether Easter Jeep Safari still deserves its reputation as the kickoff to the off-road season. Alongside Bryan’s Moab trail plan—Coyote Canyon, Metal Masher, Kane Creek, Behind the Rocks, and Top of the World—the crew gets into Jeep Wrangler reality, rock crawling travel costs, overlanding trends, and why more wheelers are choosing other events over Moab. JD also shares a what may be his final update on his JK warranty battle, including oil consumption, repeated codes, and the possibility of an engine replacement. From public land access and vendor-show fatigue to the simple question of where your off-road dollars actually go, this episode has plenty for anyone following EJS, Moab trails, Jeep events, and the future of the community. If you’ve ever wondered whether the 60th anniversary of EJS still matters, this one’s worth a listen. 📍Trails and Destinations Coyote Canyon, Moab, Utah Metal Masher, Moab, Utah Kane Creek Canyon, Moab, Utah Behind the Rocks Trail, Moab, Utah Top of the World, Utah Sand Hollow State Park, Utah Moab Area Trails Wolf Caves Off Road Park, Texas 🛠️ Gear and Tools DJI Osmo Action Cameras Rock Krawler Suspension Systems TYRI Off-Road Lighting Z Automotive Tazer JL Mini 🚙 Community Shoutouts Bryan: Beatrice JKU the Lunchbox Calvin: SRG Offroad JD: MeAndMyYellowJK OFF ROAD N Chill 🌎 Advocacy & Conservation BlueRibbon Coalition Save Moab Tread Lightly!

    Working To Live, Not Living To Work | THX Series #4 | Ep 137

    JD sits down with Fran Adler for a conversation that starts with a little leftover Trail Hero sand and quickly turns into a story about growth, grit, and finding your place in the off-road world. Fran shares how a 2020 JLU Sport became a two-time SEMA build, but the real heart of the episode is what happened after the lights and show floor—heading into Trail Hero Expeditions largely on her own, managing the pressure of a multi-day event, making last-minute prep decisions like new gear right before launch and coming out the other side with new friendships, more confidence, and a stronger connection to the community. It’s part build story, part personal milestone, and a good reminder that sometimes the most important transformation isn’t what you bolt onto the Jeep, it’s what happens when you bet on yourself.
