The Trailchasers Podcast: Recent Episodes

Each week, the TrailChasers Podcast talks to people in our social media network (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc), so that we can learn more about their stories and their adventures. We want to talk to as many people as possible in the offroading, overlanding, and outdoor activity community. Our goal is to meet new people, develop some good relationships, and eventually, meet up out on the trail. If you are a Jeeper, a Toyota lover, or one of those Land Rover lovers, you will find someone in our group that shares your passion. Check us out at www.trailchasers.net

Casey joins us in the studio so that we can review some of his recent life decisions and make fun of him for becoming the other tip of Matt's spear. We have some other random conversations about stuff that doesn't matter, but it made us laugh.

Cody talks about his new love for riding bicycles and we try to convince Matt to go mountain biking. Honestly, I don't even remember the conversation about the space tamales, but it made the title anyway.
Mark Garcia from Life of an Adventurer joins us to talk about all of his experiences, his travels, the event he has coming up this weekend, and aliens. Yes, Matt and Jose got super excited.

@thetrailsafety guy comes down to the minor leagues to slum it with us after hanging out with @trailrecon for a while. After the conversation about "bones," I am sure he regrets it. We go through our new @outerlimitsupply first aid kits and what is the proper way to select a dozen donuts?
Accomplished motocross, X-Games, offroad racer, and now Extreme-E racer, Sara Price joins us to talk about her journey to awesomeness. She is a lot of fun to talk to and apparently, she gets bored a lot. I don't see how that is possible.
We talk about our day trip to the high desert, go over some news, and discuss a bunch of other random stuff.
Brandon Currie joins us to talk about RockJock and we talk about how Cody says stupid things in front of his dad, John Currie. Then we discuss how there is a new Ford Ranger in the stable and when we are going to install Matt's custom lift kit.
Presented by Nexen Tire and Icon Vehicle Dynamics: This week we recap out trip across the Mojave Trail. Only one u-turn and nobody died. We consider that a successful outing. We talk about who went, what we did, what we will change for next year, and how Cody needs to streamline his camping game.
Presented by Nexen Tire and Icon Vehicle Dynamics: Dave and Dan from @nissannationproductions join us to talk about all things #nissan, cross-country tips for survival, and why the TC theme song rocks so hard! These guys are a lot of fun and we can't wait to hang out with them some more.
Presented by Nexen Tire and Icon Vehicle Dynamics:
We talk to Scott and Aaron from Express Rally about how they are taking their successful road rally events and applying them to the off road and overland communities. Than we discuss the upcoming Mojave Trail Trip.
Apparently, Cody was not as cool as he thought he was back in the day. This makes him sad. To cheer him up, we talk about the possibility of going on the Mojave Trail in a few weeks.
We talk about how Jeep Wranglers are king of the mountain, as long as it's a dry mountain. We discuss our dreams of owning a classic Bronco, and Matt is still obsessed with Thunderdome
Prior to our discussion about the #insatiableball monster, we talk about the new Bronco Sport and the new Frontier. We discuss how #TeamEVGA is helping us get better at streaming and the possibility of doing the Mojave this year. #nexen #iconequipped
We start-off OK with a discussion about the new Land Rover Defender 90. But then, we go off the rails talking about quarantine, and which type of zombies will be the worst part of the apocalypse. We all decided that the Vampire-Zombies (Vampies) are the worst. What do you think?
We tried to do a live Q&A Session on YouTube with some of our friends, but Cody failed to get it to work. Looks like that stimulus money is going towards a new podcast computer. Thanks to everyone that stuck it out and joined us for the conversation.
This week, our wives sit down in the studio and talk about what amazing husbands we are, how good we drive, and why they can't live without us. At least, that's what I heard. They did a great job and I am sure they will take over the show and it will be way better going forward. Thank you ladies.
This week, we act responsibly and record over video chat. In reality, I was just tired of Matt and Jose eating all the food in my house when they come over.
We also spend some time talking to some of our friends in the industry about how the recent events are impacting their business. Thank you to Jeremy and Tyler (@ivdsuspension), Jason (@demellooffroad), Rory (@triggercontroller), and Christian (@shiftpod) for having some real conversations with us.
This week, Andre from @thetrailtrek joins us to talk about all things #subaru and #overlanding. Then he tries to convince us to out a diesel engine in our tents. What's that about?
@nexentireusa @ivdsuspension

Presented by Nexen Tire and Icon Vehicle Dynamics: This week we talk to Travis from @outer_limit_supply about their awesome life safety gear. Then we catch up on listener voice mails, talk about home made rockets, hit-n-runs, and moose knuckle. It really isn't our best work, but you should listen anyway.
Presented by Nexen Tire and Icon Vehicle Dynamics: This week we talk to Adam Pfeifer (@oh_that_1_dude) about how he rolled his Jeep at King of the Hammers in epic fashion. Fortunately, Adam came out OK. We are trying to convince him to buy a Ranger or a Tacoma, but I don't think it's working. Joe joins us in the studio to talk about some of the lessons learned from the KOH crash.
Presented by Nexen Tire and I con Vehicle Dynamics:
The event that Icon Vehicle Dynamics put on, in conjunction with Trigger Controller and Shift Pods, aimed to bring the Overlanding community to KOH so that they could experience it for themselves and realize how much there was for them there. Social Media creators (@Adventure.Ovrlnd, @SoCalTacomas, @McVenture016, @JillianRebekah, @TheTrailTrek, @TrailRecon) and companies (@Mountain_Hatch, @ShowerPouch, @KCHilites, @LGE_CTSmotorsports) came together to share their unique perspective and products with the others in the group. As participants in the event, we (Cody, Matt, Jose, Casey, and Joe) got to Overland camp, run some off road trails, and spectate an amazing race. It was as close to Utopia as I think you can get.
Presented by @nexentireusa and @ivdynamics
Listeners Mark (@webberlander) and Lauren (@happycamper512) teach us everything we need to know about rooftop tents and now we want one. Cody, Matt, and Jose talk about the plan for #koh and we don't think we are going to make it out alive!

We are extremely excited about this new partnership and we will be kicking it off with a bang at #koh2020
This week, Rory from AAC Brands and @triggercontroller joins us to talk about their innovative products and the new hardware they are distributing. We listen to voice mails and I think Matt needs to see a doctor.
We talk to Mike and Omar from @showerpouch about their awesome hygiene products. Then we compare the new #ford #ranger to the #tacoma Should Cody buy a new #fordranger ?
We do our best to derail @thetrailmedic while he is trying to give us valuable information on bleeding control. Then we go through some listener voice mails.
We talk about our trip to #ocotillowells for the Winter Expedition. It was a wet and sloppy trip. Then, somehow, we start a war: Which burger is better? #5guys vs #innout
Jim from @ground_pounder_coffee_llc comes in to the studio to educate us on what makes coffee good and we come up with a few "good" ideas for his next brew. Then we talk about the upcoming trip to Ocotillo Wells after Christmas.

We can't believe we made it to 100 episodes. Thank you listeners, we appreciate you. We take this opportunity to go back and look at where all this started and how things progressed along the way. Then we talk about the Tesla Cybertruck, because we had to. We are looking forward to another 100 episodes!
We start the show, kind of off-the-cuff, and it really snowballs from there. We discuss everything from the #ford #mustangmache to #disneyland to accidental death and dismemberment insurance policies. I know, it was one of those nights. Fortunately, Author Sherri Kukla from @ssoffroadmag joins us to redeem the show. She talks about her new book; The Skeleton and the Lantern and takes us on a mysterious adventure from the perspective of two kids.
This is the second part of the interviews we did @semashow We talk to @centerforce @lancecampers @hellwigproducts @raddfloshocks @falconshocks @satreatments and Rock Jock Suspension

While Cody was at SEMA, Matt and Jose took over the studio and recorded an episode without any adult supervision. They go through Cody's underwear drawer, talk about the new Icon suspension on Jose's Land Cruiser, and then they go off the rails. It sounds like they had a great time.

Presented by Nexen Tires
After having some discussion about the passing of Jessi Combs, we review an article from @motortrend. It unexpectedly went off the rails and I think Matt may have just started a feud with the largest name in automotive journalism. I don't think we have the legal resources to back that up, so, hopefully, they are cool with us talking about their #mojavetrail video. Sorry Motor Trend.
Presented by @nexentireusa : The Trailchaser Team was given the opportunity to experience #iconequipped vehicles on a race track. That's right, the folks at Icon Vehicle Dynamics let us drive their trucks, and we drove them hard. It was an epic day that really opened our eyes to what a vehicle with performance suspension can do. The @ivdsuspension Team was awesome and I will be definitely dreaming of a day when I can put their products under my truck.
We talk to Joe Cardenas from @joecal_tacomas @socaltacomas @socalyotas @_lifes_trails @bjjmojo We talk about how he has a full time job managing #instagram pages, a full time job working for @leitnerdesigns and a full time job selling fruit...not on the corner though. Thanks Joe, we had a great time!
We are giving away a set of Nexen Roadian MTX Tires from @nexentireusa Listen to the episode to find out how you can #enter and #win the #contest We also talk to Casey Sisson about the awesome #yj he is building and you get to hear how one of us almost died this weekend.
We look at some of the new electric trucks coming out in the near future and discuss them as if we have any business buying one. As much as we would like to get our hands on a @rivian @atlisMV @tesla @bollingermotors I don't think they will let us take it out on the trail for a test drive.
@nexentireusa
We talk to Paul Jho, the Motorsports Senior Manager for @nexentireusa about Nexen being the official sponsor of The Trailchasers Podcast. Then, Cody tries to talk Matt and Jose out of joining the Storm Area 51 movement and I think it backfires on him.
We talk to the guys @syndicate.offroad about an event they have coming up @stonebrewing in Escondido. Then, Cody & Matt talk about how they are completely falling apart and we just just be put down. Seriously, how are we still alive?
As you know, Cody gets lost, a lot! So we had Erica Sacks on the show to try and fix what's wrong with him. Spoiler Alert, It didn't work. At least we get to hear the story of how Erica started racing with her dad and has earned her place in the offroad world. We also talk about her newest adventure, Waypoint Nav School, where she is teaching people like to Cody how to find themselves.
We discuss our installation of the @whiteknuckleoffroadproducts sliders on Jose's #80series #landcruiser. Then we talk about our trip from Pioneertown to Big Bear. Apparently, Cody didn't read his own itinerary and Jose tried to kill everyone.
This week, we look back on the start of Matt's path towards the Podcast Hall of Fame...from there, it's pretty much off the rails, as you would suspect.
Even though he didn't want to come home, Cody is back from vacation in Cabo. The guys get together on a quick video chat to discuss Cody's trip, our new Baja Guide, Luis, we say thank you to @mountain_hatch for the gracious support, and discuss the potential closure of #oceanodunes #pismobeach
Cody and Jose speculate on what Matt had to do that was more important than recording the show. Then we talk about Father's Day, Why we got some crappy iTunes reviews, talk about some of the articles written about the show, and finally talk about a bunch of upcoming events in the offroad community.
After Matt makes it clear that he no longer wants to work with Cody, we discuss a topic sent in by a listener about going from a Wangler to something more economical. Then we talk to Melinda Raussell, Founder of the International Women's Motorsports Association @iwmanation
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.

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.

@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.
