🎧 Podcast Show Notes

Summary

JD is joined by Bryan (Beatrice JKU the Lunchbox), Mike (JKTrlFnder), Nathan the unpaid intern aka MudhornGladiator, and Angie (Purple Haze JKU) in this high-energy, heart-filled episode of The Trailhead. With Easter Jeep Safari just around the corner, the crew swaps build updates, road trip plans, and favorite Jeep colors—including the return of Mojito Green. Bryan previews the upcoming Memorial Run on Behind the Rocks, while Angie shares her vision of turning Purple Haze into a full-blown buggy.
