The team shares how they manage growing usage, educate new riders, and promote long-term sustainability in this high-demand area.

    #102 Unfiltered: Are You Building Your Rig Wrong?
    2025/05/12
    While the team is at Trail Hero X, this episode of The Trailhead dives into a question every off-roader eventually faces: are you building your rig to match your trails, or choosing trails to match your build? JD, Pope & Randi (JemAndTheMisfit), Bryan (Beatrice JKU the Lunchbox), and Mike (JKTrlFnder) share how their vehicle choices, upgrades, and driving styles are shaped by the terrain they love. From high-clearance Broncos to hydro-assist setups and one-ton swaps, the crew breaks down how their wheeling preferences drive their builds—and how their builds open up new off-road possibilities. If you've ever debated tire size, axle strength, or whether your rig is too nice to wheel, this is the episode for you.📍Trails and DestinationsSand Hollow State Park, UtahBehind the Rocks, Moab, UtahTop of the World, Moab, Utah🛠️ Gear and ToolsBronco Badlands Sasquatch PackageFox 2.5 CoiloversRockford Fosgate SpeakersStinger Electronics Horizon Head UnitPSC Hydraulic Assist SteeringRCV Performance Axles🚙 Community ShoutoutsBryan: Beatrice JKU the LunchboxJD: MeAndMyYellowJKMike: JKTrlFnderPope & Randi: JemandtheMisfit🌎 Advocacy & ConservationBlueRibbon Coalition📰 News TopicsFord Bronco Rebates and Dealer DiscountsTariffs and Jeep’s Pricing Pressure📅 Events and ResourcesTrail Hero X 2025Easter Jeep Safari (EJS) 2025Jeep Beach 2025📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!
