  Parts You Should Never Have to Replace | Waypoints | Ep 150

  Aug 16, 20261h 3mS4

  JD sits down with Ryan Stoangi of Combat Off Road to talk about how more than 20 years of building Jeeps and working in off-road retail led him to start making his own parts. Ryan breaks down Combat’s focus on durable, repairable Jeep accessories, including their hood latches, armored taillights, fenders, and inner fenders, and why he believes in sticking to what the company does well. They also talk about choosing quality parts, supporting local 4x4 shops, and figuring out what you actually want from your Jeep before spending thousands building it. Plus, Ryan and JD take on gatekeeping in the off-road community and why helping new wheelers learn is important to keeping the sport growing.

  They Were the Wild Card | THX Series #9 | Ep 14

  Aug 3, 20263h 24mS4

  JD closes out the Trail Hero Expedition Spotlights series with Nathaniel and Susan Savka of Team Danger Zone, the first-time overlanders who became the inaugural Trail Hero Expeditions champions by just 16 seconds. They unpack their 2020 Jeep Gladiator overland build, rooftop tent camping lessons, lightning-fast tire change, MORRFlate four-tire inflation challenge, and the teamwork that carried them through Pine Valley, Zion, the Grand Canyon, and Sand Hollow rock crawling. The conversation goes far deeper than competition as Susan openly discusses experiencing a severe panic attack on the route, while the family explains why autism awareness, mental health advocacy, and making the off-road community welcoming for children like Johnny Danger matter more than any trophy. From Johnny learning new words and initiating an unforgettable hug to borrowed gear, unexpected friendships, and a victory cheeseburger covered in ketchup, this episode is equal parts family overlanding adventure, honest vulnerability, and classic Trailhead chaos. Listen for the story behind Team Danger Zone’s 16-second victory—and why Susan may now be the family member pushing hardest to return to Utah.

  Motobilt Was Born In Baghdad | Waypoints | Ep 148

  Jul 18, 20261h 4mS4

  JD sits down with Dan DuBose from Motobilt for a deeper look at the person behind one of the most recognized names in Jeep armor, off-road fabrication, and the sport itself. Dan walks through his early days building bumpers because he could not afford to buy them, the Blue Torch FabWorks era, his reality TV detour, and the long road to building Motobilt into a serious Made-in-USA manufacturing operation. The conversation hits Jeep Wrangler mods, rock crawler builds, Sand Hollow, BILTCON, off-road business lessons, and why quality parts matter when you are actually using your rig. Dan also talks about family, burnout, a major health wake-up call, and the difference between building a product catalog and building a company that can support real people. If you care about Jeep armor, off-road fabrication, rock crawling, or the humans behind the brands we trust on the trail, this one is worth the listen.

  Angela Rickerson Knows One Speed | Waypoints | Ep 147

  Jun 14, 20261h 6mS4

  JD is joined by Angela Rickerson, the Seattle-based driver behind Ronda Rhino, for a conversation about Jeep life, Rebelle Rally, Pacific Northwest rock crawling, and the messy, rewarding path into off-roading. Angela shares how a 2017 two-door Jeep Wrangler went from “cool preschool drop-off rig” to a heavily built desert rally and rock crawling machine. The episode digs into Rebelle Rally endurance, sponsorship realities, stunt driving, DirtFish-style rally training, Jeep clubs, women in off-road, and why good spotting beats “just send it” every single time. If you’re into Jeep Wrangler builds, women off-roaders, rally driving, rock crawling, or just finding your people on the trail, this one is absolutely worth the ride. 📍Trails and Destinations Washington Off-Road Trails Best Offroad Trails near Rainier, Washington Evans Creek / Trail #519, Washington Rampart Range Road, Colorado 🛠️ Gear and Tools Jeep Wrangler Motobilt Jeep JK/JKU Parts K&N Filters KC HiLiTES Off-Road Lights Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus Tires Dometic Electric Coolers Dynatrac Jeep JK Axle Assemblies Dana 44 Front Crate Axle FOX Motorsports Shocks 🚙 Community Shoutouts Action Driving Collective Angela Rickerson: Ronda Rhino Bailey Campbell DirtFish Rally School Emily Miller JD: MeAndMyYellowJK Michael Graham Olympia Jeep Rebelle Rally Riley Harshman and Ryan Weisenfeld: Trail Coins Ryan Weisenfeld: OLYJK Shelby Hall Off-Road Trails Offroad 🌎 Advocacy & Conservation BlueRibbon Coalition Rampart Range Motorized Management Committee Trails Preservation Alliance 📅 Events and Resources Rebelle Rally Double A Rally / Team 102 DirtFish Rally School Action Driving Collective King of the Hammers Trail Hero Expeditions 📞 Get involved!

  Locked Out Of Your Own Repair | Waypoints | Ep 146

  May 30, 20261h 46mS4

  JD is joined by Bryan, Calvin, Nathan, along with Chris Bailey and Joey Seavolt, for a focused Trailhead roundtable on Right to Repair, Jeep mods, vehicle data access, DIY wrenching, and the future of aftermarket parts. The crew connects the John Deere repair fight to what off-roaders are already seeing with locked-down ECUs, security gateway modules, subscription features, Tazer/JScan workarounds, and newer Jeep systems that make simple modifications feel way more complicated than they should. Joey brings the repair-shop perspective, Chris talks about the value of older, more mechanical Jeeps, and the whole panel digs into what happens when vehicle ownership starts feeling more like a software license. 🔥 From the REPAIR Act and SEMA’s Warrior Right to Repair push to the simple act of teaching kids how to change oil, this one is about keeping the garage, the driveway, and the trail alive for the next generation. 📍Trails and Destinations Death Row Rock Crawl Trail, Montrose, Colorado Moab Area Trails 🛠️ Gear and Tools BFGoodrich Tires BORLA Exhaust Systems Chilton Repair Manuals FRAM Oil Filters Jeep Wrangler MOAB 392 Maxxis RAZR MT Competition Tires OBD JScan Snap-on Diagnostic Tools TYRI Off-Road Lights Z Automotive Security Gateway Bypass Module Z Automotive Tazer JL Mini 🚙 Community Shoutouts Bryan: Beatrice JKU the Lunchbox Calvin & Jennifer: SRG Offroad Charlie: Just 4 Fun Motorsports Chris Bailey: Stretch_It_JK JD: MeAndMyYellowJK Joey Seavolt: iNerd Repair LLC Matt & Cara: Ozark Overland Adventures Nathan the unpaid intern aka MudhornGladiator Steve Bogue: MCGVR10 🌎 Advocacy & Conservation BlueRibbon Coalition REPAIR Act SEMA Federal Right to Repair SEMA Warrior Right to Repair Act The Repair Association Utah Public Lands Alliance 📰 News Topics Colorado Consumer Right to Repair Digital Electronic Equipment EPA Advances Farmers’ Right to Repair Their Own Equipment FTC and States Sue Deere & Company Over Repair Restrictions John Deere Agrees to $99 Million Right-to-Repair Settlement REPAIR Act — H.R. 1566 / S. 1379 SEMA Backs Warrior Right to Repair Act DJI Drone Security and Policy Debate 📅 Events and Resources Repair Act Action Center SEMA Warrior Right to Repair Campaign The Trailhead Network Trails Offroad Affiliate Link 📞 Get involved!
