In this episode of the Budget Overland Podcast, Jay and Benji have a conversation with Ben Azzam from TRUKD about their awesome bed racks.  We talk about how he get into overlanding, and their versatile product designs. 

Ben Azzam is the CEO and Founder of TRUKD, a bed rack and accessories company, and a partner in Lexicon Design, a Pittsburgh based design agency.  Ben has been an outdoor enthusiast his whole life and has always loved camping, kayaking, mountain biking, and hiking, but got into overlanding the past 3 years after he bought a Tacoma.  

TRUKD launched last year at Overland East in October for pre-orders and started shipping products this past March.  We are just getting started, but we've had a ton of interest and our racks have been selling fast in the Overland market.  Our rack is special because it works with most tonneau covers, the bars come on and off really quickly, and we have a patented system for adjustable height bars.  We will be launching new products again this year at Overland East!  All made is the USA!

Hello, and welcome to the Budget Overland Podcast. Created by Jay and Benji in November 2021. Fast forward to April 2023, Jay and Benji parted ways. Not to worry Benji did a re-boot and skipped to season 3. BOP now has two show a week, Monday & Thursday! Out of respect for our previous guests and great conversations. The old episodes will remain available. The old website "budgetoverlandofficial.com" is no longer in anyway affiliated with the Budget Overland Podcast or Benji in any capacity. It is mentioned quite a few times about merch. The NEW Budget Overland website is https://www.budgetoverlandportal.com/ You can go there and find links to everything BO related!
