This week Ben and Jared are getting to hangout with Crystal @thefurrunner. She drives a nicely setup 5th Gen 4runner that we get into the build out of and all the cool mods she has done to it. And of course we have to talk about dogs and her 3 pups she hauls around in her rig. She also shares with us some of her favorite trips, the fun of going to events and meetups, working with Toyota, soccer, music and so much more!

We're hanging out this week with Aubrey, @not.a.forest.ranger. Aubrey has a taste for adventure and the outdoors so he built up his Ford Ranger to take him there. Cleanly setup for his needs without breaking the bank. We talk camping, EV vehicles, fridges and other random topics.

We get to hangout this week with Gabe from @battlereadyrigs and talk about his "slightly" modified '97 Jeep XJ. Our good buddy Neal @nealskis who knows Gabe from his Subie days joins us for a bit as well. Gabe's XJ is not your basic grocery getter though. He's cut the back off and made it into a flatbed, slapped some 35's on it along with some other mods and hits the trails hard. We talk about how he got into modding vehicles with his family growing up. With everything from VW's to rock crawlers. How he got a his first taste of overlanding with his Subaru to wanting to go harder on the trails. 

It's just Ben and Jared hanging out this week. Jared recently headed up to the Eastern Sierra area for some fishing. His daughter and her friend wanted to give fishing a try while camping that weekend. They ended up finding some cool camp spots and had a great time, even if no fish were caught. Ben took his new Porsche Cayenne out on its maiden voyage. Him and our buddy Mark @landcruserdoods made a day run to checkout a local fire lookout. We also talk about some new gear they tested out, some throw back to the tuners days and some cool upcoming events.

Have you ever wanted to know what it take to be a part of the Rebelle Rally? Well you're in for a treat. This week we're hanging out with Team Desert Belles @teamdesertbelles! Kristen @mrs.optoffroad will be driving in her second year running the Rebelle and she is teaming up with Allison @charming4runner who will be navigating in her rookie year. They share with us how the rally is structured, the point system, checkpoints, the different stages and much more. We also get to hear how they are spending all their time training and the huge costs it take to compete. They're super appreciative of all their fans and sponsors coming together to help get their already sweet Bronco ready for the big day and be able to make it to the finish. Make sure to follow along as we'll be rooting for them!

This week we have on Aric @as_is_overland. Jared and Aric just got back from 4 days in the Western Sierra. They had the opportunity to join a group for season 2 of the Helko Hunt. Helko Werk axe company invited 3 teams to go up into the mountains to try and find buried treasure. We recap the fun and trials we went through to find the hidden caches. Plus good times getting to camp with some old and new friends.

They both have super clean Gen 3 Tundras with popup campers. Al has the Four Wheel Camper, Project M while Erwin went with the OVLND Camper. Both have been decked out by Sponsored by Wifey handling the build-outs. Of course they had to make sure to include the essentials like sink, stove, fridge, microwave, VR gaming set, projection screen. You know, the basics. We get into talking about E-bikes, photography, camp events, TV commercials and all sorts of cool stuff. Hangout with for a few hours and have some fun!

To help us test it all out our buddy Norm @land_beaver1 stops by the studio. He's been on a few trips sense we talked last. He was out exploring Montana, Wyoming and Colorado and shares some of those adventures. Plus we take a couple questions from a few listeners tuning into the live stream.

Jared had also just spent 4 days at Expo PNW up in Oregon. He talks about some of the products he saw and getting to meet up with friends he ran into while there. How does the PNW Expo rank against Expo West? After Expo Jared joined up with some friends to head out to the Oregon coast for some beach camping. While there, some interesting events took place including needing to pullout the medical bags. Then it was back down the 395 to meet up with another friend before heading home.
