    Shed Talk With Mud On Our Boots

    Rain doesn’t just make an off-road park messy, it changes the whole mindset. We’re recording from the “barn” at Myobi in Iowa after a soaked, muddy fundraiser weekend that still pulled in about 30 to 35 rigs, plus plenty of people we’d never met who showed up just to be part of it. The vibe is pure grassroots off-roading: the landowner unlocks the shed, points at the trails, asks us to keep mud off the road, and then we all figure it out together. If you like honest event recaps and real trail talk, this one is for you.  We also bring on a first-time off-roader to hear what the day felt like from the passenger seat: bumpy suspension, the steep hill moment where you’re sure you’re tipping, and the surprisingly practical stuff like airflow and staying dry. From there we bounce into the kind of garage conversation that happens when you wheel hard in bad weather: a rig running hot, a tea-kettle whistle at 225 degrees, and the quick realization that AFR and fan settings can make or break your day. We get into Holley Terminator style tuning, why richer AFR can cool things down, and the tradeoffs of radiator placement, brushless fans, and cab temps.  Along the way we hit trail safety reminders, visibility upgrades like a Wolfbox-style camera mirror, and the sketchy reality of unmarked crests hiding drop-offs in mine tailings terrain. We close with raffle stories, how we keep drawings fair, why the cause matters, and whether we’re coming back next year. Subscribe, share this with your wheeling group, and leave a review with your best rain-trail lesson or worst “we should back out” moment.

    We Get Caught Up On Winners And Fix Our Hauling Setup

    Ten minutes of audio disappears, so we do what any responsible garage crew would do: laugh, splice it together, and immediately start making a list of who we owe giveaway prizes to. We’ve got an August 15 event coming up at Mayobi, and before we roll into the next stretch of the year, we’re getting caught up the only way we know how by drawing monthly winners live and calling ourselves out for being bad at shipping stuff on time. If you’ve been waiting on gear, this one’s worth your time. From there, the conversation swings into the stuff that keeps off-road life running behind the scenes: supporters who help us stay motivated, what our Buzzsprout stats say about where we rank, and the kind of hauling stories that make you ask, “Should that vehicle really have a receiver hitch?” Yes, we’re talking about a Prius doing truck things, plus the ongoing quest to haul smarter without turning everything into a white-knuckle drive. The main tech rabbit hole is towing and trailer setup. We break down a new 34-foot PJ gooseneck with air ride suspension, an air ride hitch, and electric over hydraulic disc brakes, then get into brake controller tuning, loading angles, and why ramps can turn a calm day into a fast problem. We also recap Milwaukee Madness, share what Milwaukee reps hinted is coming next (including a battery-powered fridge/freezer), and flag a “you won” scam message so you don’t get caught clicking the wrong link. If you like real shop talk, off-road problem solving, and gear talk with zero polish, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review. What’s the sketchiest thing you’ve ever hauled or towed?

    Garage Trip Wheeling Recap

    We drive from Iowa to Indiana to wheel three spots in brutal heat, and the trip turns into a chain of breakdowns, fixes, and stories that only make sense once you’ve earned them on the side of the road. We end up comparing Interlake and Thorns to Ty’s property, and we leave convinced that the best trails are the ones that come with the best people. August 15th at MIOBI, wheeling for Wyatt, Wyatt’s Warriors, Rocks Ruts and Resilience, find it on Facebook events or Wyatt’s Warriors Foundation dot org, $20 per rig.
