The Trailhead an Offroad Show

#102 Unfiltered: Are You Building Your Rig Wrong?


Listen Later

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.
