The Trailchasers Podcast

While Cody is off on Daddy-Duty, Jose comes in and picks up the slack. Matt and Jose talk about Mojave, the Frontier, and some craziness, which should be expected. Thanks to Jose for being a clutch-hitter. And just for the record, I didn't think Val Kilmer was bad as Batman.

We made it through the desert and NOBODY DIED! We talk about our recent trip on the Mojave Trail and interview a few of the listeners that joined us for the trip. We may, or may not, have gotten lost a few times. You will have to listen to find out.

We talk to Rob and Lindsey from @warfightermade. We try to understand their mission and all of the amazing work that they do for our #veterans. We tackle some very serious topics and hope that if you are impacted by any of these issues, you reach out to them, or someone else, for help. After talking about some of the heavier topics, we try to lighten it up an have some fun. Please, go to the warfightermade.org site and donate today.

Matt and Cody talk about all the nerdy mapping tools we use to create the maps for our trips. Then, we walk through the upcoming #mojavetrail trip. If you are interested in joining us for Memorial Day weekend 2019, go to www.trailchasers.net/mojave2019

We talk to Rich Klein from 4 Low Magazine, We Rock and Dirt Riot about how he decided to quit a successful career to pursue his passion and about how is able to get so much stuff done while living on the road full time. You get to hear Matt and Cody talk about how we ended up in air conditioning and why we think there should be more investment in shop classes in school.

We talk to Steve from @ruggedrocks and @ruggedroutes about the work he has done in the #nissan offroad space and in #gps routing. We discover that Steve is a mad scientist that hangs out with people on the International Space Station! We had a really good conversation with Steve and hope to be able to connect with him again soon.

This week we talk about the recent blog update that recaps our #cleghorn run and when we stopped by the @syndicate.offroad meet-n-greet. Then, we get a full taste of jealousy after talking to Sean Harwood from @big_island_offroad #syndiacte.offroad #syndicatejeepclub #syndicateyotas #airdownoffroad #tombelljeep @nexentireusa

We recap the time that Cody spent in #bigbear and #cougarbuttes on the @nexentireusa #roadianmtx tire test, then we talk to Robert from @otwellweldingandfabrication about his awesome Gen 1 #tacoma and his amazing fabrication skills

Cody had the opportunity to go up to #bigbear and test the @nexentireusa #roadianmtx tires on some really fun trails. This episode is the interviews that he did while on the trail run and next week will will go in to the details of the trip. Thank you to Nexen for allowing us to participate in the event, we really appreciate it.

Matt tells us about his dirt bike trip last weekend, then we talk to Rob Dman (@_robdaman). Rob is a YouTube Creator that is passionate about his #toyotatacoma. He recently collaborated with Santa Margarita Toyota (@sm_toyota) to build-out a new Tacoma for them. We really enjoyed our conversation with Rob and can't wait until we can connect with him again.

We recap our time as the emcees of the @ecokrawl event this weekend in Norco, Ca. We have interviews with @unboundmo @otwellweldingandfabrication @slickrockgear @atomicmonkeyindustries @currirenterprises @airdown_offroad and @nexentireusa Then, we make an attempt to talk about some UFO stuff (because we keep teasing it) and it goes so far off the rails, we had to scrap most of it. We will be back to normal next week.

We talk to Chase & Jackie Gentry about @adventure.ovrlnd, @gentrygym and all the hard work that goes in to making it all work. These two have a great story and they are inspiring on so many levels. We appreciated the chance to talk to them and look forward to all the things they will accomplish in the future.

Matt, Jose, and Cody are sitting around the booth at the @4wpriverside talkin' trash and sharing random information that has no value at all. We get an update from Matt on his quest for a new vehicle, then, Terry Burke comes on to tell us about the upcoming @ecokrawl event on March 23rd & 24th. @falken

We hear a voicemail from Casey about how he broke down..again. Cody recaps his trip to Tierra Del Sol where he gets lost (no surprise). And we talk to Ricky from 4 Wheel Parts Riverside about the Madness in March sale on March 9th, 2019. @falkentire

This week we have a conversation with Terry Madden, an accomplished off-road racer, recovery expert, and mentor to the next generation of drivers. He tells us about where he comes from, how he got in to the off road world, and what he has planned for the future. @falkentire @terry_madden @ultra4 

We talk about how Cody's truck may or may not make it back from a trip to Mexico, then Jose comes on to talk about the snow wheeling we did at Bee Canyon after he saw the trail on the @offroadrookies page @falkentire

This week Brandon (@code_5337) stops by to recap how Falken did at KOH 2019. Then we speak to John Kingston (@roaminglost) about his photography career, BLM clean up efforts, his #mitsubishimontero, and his new podcast.

Matt unknowingly steps in to the den of death and tries to survive whatever it is that is trying to kill Cody. Then we talk about the upcoming @4WheelParts March Madness event and Cody talks about his tour of the @currieent facility in Corona, Ca @falkentire

Cody's house was attacked by the plague and Matt was smart enough to stay away. Because we had to cancel the interviews we had planned, we decided to do a call on Matt's drive home from work to just catch up on some things.

This is the recap of Day 2 of the EcoKrawl event that took place on January 19th and 20th, 2019. We had the opportunity to have conversations with Don Alexander of the Jeep 4x4 Training School, @thefabschool, Paul Jho of @NexenTireUSA, Brian "@thejeepguy" Cole from @4wheelparts, and Black Series Camper
