In this episode of The Trailhead, JD and Alyssa welcome Jessica Heeg and Jessi Puffenbarger, the powerhouse duo behind Jess² ReRouting, a new team competing in this year’s 10th Anniversary Rebelle Rally. These two seasoned drivers break down what the Rebelle is all about—8 days of off-road competition with no GPS, just maps, compasses, and pure grit. Hear how a random post turned into a rock-solid partnership, what training looks like in Johnson Valley, and why Jessi’s ultra-built JLU is perfect for the job. Plus, the ladies open up about family, trail philosophy, and prepping like pros. If you’re curious about what it takes to go from off-road fan to Rebelle contender, this is your episode.
