We talk to the members of the Inland Empire Jeep Club and Syndicate Offroad about their merger to create Syndicate Jeep Club. We also go through some listener feedback, talk about the upcoming EcoKrawl event, and explore the idea of a crowd funding campaign to get Matt an offroad vehicle. @falkentire @syndicate.offroad @syndicatejeepclub @ecokrawl

We give you guys a recap of our Ocotillo Wells trip at the end of December, then we talk to AJ Van De Water @fotornr on Instagram. He tells us his inspiring story with an infectious amount of enthusiasm and we love it. @falkentire 

We go through the iTunes reviews from December then we have a conversation with Terry Burk from @EcoKrawl. Terry tells us about the upcoming EcoKrawl event in Norco, CA on Jan 19th & 20th. Please go get your tickets at ecokrawl.com and join us at the event.

This week, we go through the audio that Matt and Jose recorded while at the Empire Jeep Club Toy Drive. We recap some of the stuff we did this year and talk about plans for the future. Thank you to all of you for an amazing 2018! @falkentire @socal_fzj_80 @empire_jeep_club @mountainmikeschino

Amy Granat, Managing Director from the California Off Road Vehicle Association, talks to us about the work that CORVA does to help insure that all of us have access to public lands for the off road recreation that we love. Please donate and/or become a member at www.corva.org @falkentire @c.o.r.v.a.

Fred from Mountain Hatch tells us about how a spilled cup of cocoa spawned a whole family business and how they are developing a solid following around the unalienable right of the people to use their tailgates for what they are made for. Please go check out www.mountanhatch.org and follow @mountain_hatch on instagram. 

Joe, Gus, and Ricardo come and hang out in the spare bedroom with Matt and Cody. We talk about the upcoming Toy Drive on Dec 14th, their trail breakage, and ghost hunting at 2am.

Cody & Matt talk about a recent trip to #bigbear, and don't forget to submit your photo for the #offroadcharitycalendar @falkentire

This week, Matt and Cody talk about some things that have been going on with us and our plans for the future of the show. We also spend some time talking about ways you can help support those effected by the California Wildfires. @redcross @HSVC_OJAI

Because Matt and Cody are looooosers, we have to re-run one of our recent shows this week. So, we decided to re-broadcast the first episode Matt was on. New episodes should resume next week.

We launch or first annual #offroadcharitycalendar #contest with @syndicate.offroad and we hear interviews from SEMA with @milkteacoma @ivdsuspension @maxtraxhq @takemaxtrax @jcroffroad @dometic For more info on the Offroad Charity Calendar Contest, visit www.trailchasers.net/contest

Since Matt was a no-show at SEMA, our "Man on the Streets," Jose came out to Vegas with Cody and helped us get some interviews from the floor of the show. Thank you very much to Hellwig Products, Advanced Fuel Dynamics, and Lund International for taking the time to talk with us.   @HellwigProducts @AdvFuelDynamics @LundInter @falkentire

Today we ask what happened to Cody. He used to be cool. And, we talk about the @empire_jeep_club trunk-or-treat event and the donuts & coffee event @demellooffroad. Oh, and a bunch of complete, absolute, nonsense. @jimmyspeaks_ @avidessentials @bamacountryboy1980 @_robdaman @deckedusa

Cody and Matt have a conversation with Marvin from Beyond Wraps this week and we learn about his craft. Apparently, he doesn't think that our duct tape skills are up to his standards. @beyondwraps, @philconvissor, @oc_overland #beyondwraps, #oc_overland

We intended to spend the full episode talking about the Tacoma 3G event in Oceanside. Somehow we get side tracked and spend a significant amount of time talking about Cody's time as a Loss Prevention officer at Mervyn's and Target. We apologize up front for the non-off-road related content...sometimes it happens. @tacoma3g @beyondwraps @tacodust @ragofabrication @jhgarage_chris @_robdaman

We get a report about the #OffRoadExpo from Jose, our Man on the Streets and then we talk to Jay from #Tacoma3G about their upcoming Open House on October 6, 2018 in Oceanside, CA. @socal_fzj_80 @tacoma3g @falkentire

Matt and Cody got the chance to go to the #lucasoil off road races at #glenhelen raceway. We were also lucky enough to get in to the #vip booth with #falkentire. Learn why Matt will never become an #offroad racer. #sc14 #dakine #johnsonvalleycrawlers #falkentire #rugged radios #LOORS #pro4 #pro2 #prolite #probuggy #utv #modkarts

We get the chance to talk to Mario Rago from @ragofabrication and hear the story of how he and Melissa got to where they are today. Cody and Matt almost die when the recording computer went nuclear on us! @falkentire, @ragofabrication, @oc_overland, #falkentire, #ragofabrication, #oc_overland
