This week we had the pleasure to finally sitting down with the founder of Rigd Supply, Luke Wronski. We're stoked we finally got Luke on the podcast to talk about building Rigd Supply and all the lessons before it. One of the more interesting rabbit holes we went down was first jobs, some great lessons learned in those early years we think many will relate to.

This episode was recorded in Big Bear, CA during a recent trip with our friends at Weekend Off-Road. This was a pretty mellow family trip. RFD had the pleasure of spending some time with the CEO of KC, Alan Wang.

[THIS EPISODE CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE AND IS INTENDED FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE] in this episode Frank and Ali head to Baja, MX! In search of adventure, good times, beer, and maybe some trouble! Maybe? But definitely fireworks! Join us in all the fun as we trek across the Mexican state of Baja California with our Camp4lo guides, Matt and Andy.

We did something a little different and since stayed home and were on a bit of an Overland Expo hangover. Luckily our friends at OC Overland had us taken care of with something to do close to home and true to their tradition, it was for a good cause!

We wrap up our time at Overland Expo west in Episode 12. We sit down with Richard Cropley, owner, and founder of Rhino Rack. We have a great conversation about how Richard got into the rack business and how that business grew in Australia. Bringing Rhino Rack to the American market had its own set of challenges, least of which was timing. This is a great story about a company that develops products for our adventures and really puts faces behind what most of us know as a rack brand.

We then get to sit down with Tony Leix, head of US operations. Tony walks us through what the US market means to Rhino Rack, what they’ve learned and where they’re going. We also talk about Tony’s history in the business that goes back further than you might think! Tune in!

We kick off this episode from Overland Expo West right after 4 days of travel from Southern California to Williams, Arizona. There was a lot of anxiety and stress leading up to this trip, at least for one member of the RFD team.

Frank and Ali wrap up their experience tackling trails in Moab, Utah. From reflecting philosophical on pursuing your passions to knowing when to call it quits they cover the gamut of emotion as they encounter gatekeepers on the trail and life. Rigs will be wrecked, people will be rescued and a very tired Ali and Frank will once again bring that D-IQ straight to your head. Thanks to @warnindustries, @yukongearandaxle and @iamroamr

EP9 - Living On The Edge In Moab by Rigged for Dirt

The road to Moab! What an adventure. We asked our listeners for feedback, and one suggestion stood out. Record an episode on the road! You got it! We decided an 11.5-hour drive to Moab Utah for the 2019 Easter Jeep safari was our best bet! Episode 8, we're cruising through Utah in Kate.

In episode 7, Frank and Ali head out to Long Beach to hang out with the KC Hilites team at the Formula Drift event. Something different for us overlanders but we had a great time! We talk about our good friend Matt and our recent trip to Yosemite for his wedding and much more!
