JD is joined by Alyssa (HoldMyCoffee_AZ), Bryan (Beatrice JKU), Kerry (TrailTraveler), and Mike (JKTrlFnder) for a packed episode all about overlanding —what works, what breaks, and what you really need to get started. From long-range fuel tanks to gazelle tents, the crew shares their setups, tips, and lessons learned the hard way. JD dishes on recent Jeep repairs, Alyssa preps for a spontaneous Moab trip, and Kerry explains why he now owns two dedicated rigs for totally different wheeling needs. Plus, JD teases a big Trailhead road trip that will be The Trailhead event of the year. Whether you're a die-hard crawler or a wannabe overlander, this episode has something for everyone.
