End Of Year Voicemails | Unfiltered | Ep 132

We continue our close out of the year with your voicemails and the crew swaps favorite 2025 moments and what changed us most: first meet-ups that turned into friendships, holiday plans that went sideways, and the reminder that the people around the rig matter more than the parts on it. Between a few good-natured roasts and some honest reflection, we talk about what we’re thankful for, what we learned, and what we want to build together next.

Why Don't We Record At Trailheads? | Unfiltered | Ep 131

JD is joined by Keenan (Overlanding with Intention), Calvin (SRG Offroad), and Fran Adler (Fran's JK Adventures) for a laid-back final check-in with the crew for the year. The crew trades travel plans (SEMA, Overland Expo, and next year’s Trail Hero), talks about making The Trailhead more mobile, and then slides into the real holiday tradition: diagnosing Jeeps that hate cold weather—aux-battery delete tips, mystery codes, and the never-ending rear main seal saga. They wrap this show with night-run talk, mapping tools like Trails Offroad and onX, and the big question: why not record episodes from actual trailheads?

Winch Failed On Day One | THX Series | Ep 130

This episode kicks off a new series focused on Trail Hero Expeditions, with JD sitting down for one-on-one conversations with members of the cast—starting with Keenan Campbell. Keenan shares what the Expedition felt like from the driver’s seat: building a purpose-driven overland-style Jeep, the real-world headaches that don’t care about camera time (including a winch failure), and how the pace and expectations change when you’re part of a filmed trail experience. From there, they swap stories from Southern Utah stops like Grafton Ghost Town and big-view moments around the Grand Canyon, before bringing it home to what really sticks—the friends you make, the laughs you don’t plan for, and the stories you collect along the way that end up meaning more than the miles.

TRUKD’s Philosophy: Talk to Your People | Waypoints | Ep 129

JD sits down with Ben Azam, founder of TRUKD, to talk through how a personal need for a cleaner camp setup turned into a Pittsburgh-built, modular truck bed rack system. They get into real-world fitment quirks (tonneau covers, different bed shapes, and why nothing is truly “standard”), materials and finish choices (stainless vs. aluminum, powder coat, and hardware), and what it actually feels like to scale a product company without losing your mind. Along the way, they swap trail-and-travel stories—Holy Cross plans, Sedona tire fixes, Starlink “just in case” moments, and why paper MVUM/BLM maps still earn a spot in the glovebox.

The Trailhead an Offroad Show
We Get To The Voicemails... Eventually | Unfiltered | Ep 128

This one’s straight from the garage: quick rig and life updates up top (the lights crushed it, it wasn’t the power-steering pump, and yes—we aired those tires way down on purpose). We traded a little friendly grief about beadlocks and link setups, then hit a short news run with gear worth watching, event notes, and a couple access items you’ll actually care about before your next trip. The back half is all you—voicemails with a solid trail win, a “learned it the hard way” moment, and one eerily on-point call about getting stuck in the sand that turned into real talk about prep, recovery, and doing it right on public land.

She's Seen A Lot, But That Freaked Her Out | Unfiltered | Ep 127

JD and the crew are back to catch-up with show regulars Bryan (Beatrice JKU), Nathan (Mudhorn Gladiator) Calvin Pulda of SRG Offroad, Joe the Mechanic, and Fran Adler from Fran’s JL Adventures. The crew swaps SEMA takeaways, winter wheeling plans, and East-vs-West trail talk—from Moab and Sand Hollow to AOAA and the Ben Franklin Range—sprinkled with real-world fixes like driveshaft choices, lighting that actually helps at night, and what to pack before the snow runs. Fran adds a front-row perspective and Joe brings the wrench-turner reality check, while the gang keeps it grounded with trail etiquette and access reminders. If you’re mapping EJS prep or plotting a cold-weather shakedown, this one’s equal parts trip planning, gear wisdom, and shop-floor honesty.

We Had To Call Matt's Offroad Recovery | Unfiltered | E123

In this reflective episode of The Trailhead, JD and the crew address “The Incident,” an unexpected Jeep accident that tested everyone’s focus, teamwork, and community spirit. They open up about what happened, how they responded, and the outpouring of support that followed from fellow off-roaders. The team talks about how the Jeep was ultimately recovered by the famous Matt’s Off-Road Recovery, a reminder of the incredible network that exists within the off-road world. It’s a candid and heartfelt conversation that sheds light on safety, camaraderie, and how quickly the off-road family rallies when things go wrong. The team also talks about lessons learned on and off the trail, the gear that helped when it mattered most, and what comes next for the show.

"I almost had heatstroke twice on day one." | Expeditions Series | E122

This episode is a recap of and marks the show’s first major adventure — a five-day overland journey spanning Utah, Arizona, and Nevada following the recording of Trail Hero: Expeditions, a new offroad reality show. The crew reflects on what it took to pull off such a massive expedition from cast to crew, from long travel days and desert heat to the rewarding moments around camp. Listeners will hear stories of breathtaking sunrise views at the Grand Canyon, challanging moments, and the lessons learned while navigating new terrain. This episode captures our side of the Trail Hero Expeditions story — the behind-the-scenes chaos, the laughs, and the moments that tied it all together — before we hand the mic to the individual teams whose interviews will roll out over the coming weeks.

From jaw-dropping sunsets above Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon rim to campfire camaraderie at Sand Hollow State Park, they unpack what it takes to film a TV show entirely off-road—plus a few behind-the-scenes miracles that kept production rolling.

    Jeep's Hemi Lives, Our Wallets Are Crying | Unfiltered #115

    JD, Bryan (Beatrice JKU the Lunchbox), Calvin (SRG Offroad), and Nathan (the unpaid intern aka Mudhorn Gladiator) pack this extra-long live show with fresh off-road buzz. They debate Jeep’s surprise decision to keep the Hemi V-8-powered Wrangler 392 alive, swap plans to torture-test a new Trail Claw traction device on Arizona’s Table Mesa and Lower Terminator trails, and react to a drunk-driver-sparked blaze at Sand Hollow State Park that has land-use advocates fired up. Add in shop-time jokes, a public invite for Holly Fowler (MischiefMakerJK) to crash the mic, and you’ve got two-plus hours of rock-crawling camaraderie and real-world trail talk. Tune in for V-8 rumors, fire-safety lessons, and a gear review you won’t want to miss!

    News, Beaters & Brutal lessons : Unfiltered #113

    News, beaters, and brutal lessons—with details you can use. We hit the week’s biggest off‑road stories (Stellantis earnings pain, ongoing 4xe overheating chatter, and Banks’ Cummins grid‑heater fix), then stack an under‑$5K beater build list with real‑world pros/cons: axle strength, IFS vs. solid‑axle tradeoffs, gearing, cooling, parts costs, and where rust hides. You’ll also get a practical day‑one upgrade checklist—tires, fluids, brakes, recovery points, and a $300 “don’t‑get‑stuck” kit. Finally, we pause the fail clips and break down exactly what went wrong—bad rigging, unsafe anchors, no spotter, and throttle panic—and show the quick habits that keep you wheeling instead of wrenching.

They discuss the evolution of the Challenge, the importance of Tread Lightly! ethics, and how trail stewardship is reshaping access in Florida’s Citrus Wildlife Management Area. Plus, Marc shares that you CAN wheel in Florida, building partnerships with organizations like the Florida Off-Road Foundation, and what it takes to pull off a volunteer-driven event that’s as exhausting as it is unforgettable.
