@falkentire @c.o.r.v.a.

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.

Kelly and Trevor from @adventurebuilt_ join us to talk about being normal guys who are sharing their passion through #youtube and social media

Edward Shin joins us to talk about how his #youtube channel has grown from some simple backpacking videos to a full-on, adventure video production. Then we discuss the upcoming #winterexpedition

We start with some listener feedback, including some comments from Cody's Mom. Yes, Cody's Mom listens to the show!

We discuss what Cody should do with the extra $2000 he just got, including some discussion about the @decked system, cold air intakes, and performance chips.

Finally, we discuss our upcoming off road run on September 8th. Where should we go? Maybe we will combine our off road trip with some spooky ghost chasing adventures!

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?

Come join us in Johnson Valley for our Trail clean-up with @lge-ctsmotorsports. We also talk about the upcoming #kesselrun that we have planned for October with the LGE-CTS Team.

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.

This week, I talk to James Snoddy. He is the creator of the Jammock., a hammock for your Jeep.

He talks a lot about being an entrepreneur and how he is trying to provide the off road community with a great product. Go to www.jammock.com to learn more.

The @fourwheelermag #adventureexpo in #orangecounty was a huge success. We were able to interview @truckshowpodcast @trailrecon and @xoverland in Part 1 of our coverage of the event. Additional interviews will be released in a few days in a bonus episode. 

We are extremely appreciative to the @ivdsuspension Team for setting us up next to their rig and giving us the opportunity to participate in the event. Thank you to all of the people that sat down with us, in this episode and in the upcoming bonus episode. We continue to be surprised at the people that are willing to spend time with us and humbled by the opportunity to share the conversations with you. 

This event was so much fun and I can not wait to see it grow

We recap the @shred_n_tread event at @oneillusa Then we speak to Danny from @syndicate_offroad and Charlie from @redlandsjeep about their canned food drive on Dec 14th. Finally, we talk to Melissa from @ragofabrication about their 12 Days of Giftmas giveaway. You have to go to www.ragofabrication.com to register for these amazing gifts.

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

Dave from @daily_driven_nissans joins us and then a listener breaks the matrix and finds a way to call in to the show live. It's a random episode, but was a lot of fun.

The team from @calvaryoverland joins us to talk about the exponential growth they have achieved while trying to serve the overland community in the Dallas area. Then we talk about Matt getting his truck running again.

We went out to Arizona for our #winterexpedition and while we were there, we interviewed @ultra4jones about how he is building and racing an #ultra4 car in the #koh2021 race. Kevin is just a solid guy, working hard to try and bring his passions to life. His story inspires us to go out and take a chance at awesomeness.

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.

Rob Frank from @expeditionteamoverland joins us to talk about building a new brand from scratch and creating content that helps the community and helps his family preserve their adventuring memories. Then we talk about the #kesselrun from last weekend with Casey.

With no guest and no topics, you get two hours of shenanigans. We talk about offroad related deaths, so be careful out there. Then we do some Christmas shopping for our upcoming winter trip.

Matt's #nissanfrontier is having some transmission issues. Despite how much we love the fact that he has to drive a #ford right now, the guys try to give Matt some good advice on what to do next. Let's just say there was some disagreement on the best way to move forward. We think Matt will end up with a #2doorspeck

Jared from @yuccamnfg joins us because Casey made him do it. Once we got on mic, he proved to fit right in with the guys. He managed to tell us about the awesome new cargo racks he makes for the #broncosport while still throwing audio jabs and taking audio body blows. Thanks for being a good sport Jared!

After a few emails and voicemails, we talk about the Trailchasers Expedition: Mojave Trail 2021. If you are coming with us on this trip, it's gonna be epic! If not, listen up to hear what you are going to miss out on.

Chris "Wags" Wagner from @ironman4x4america joins us to talk about bringing the iconic brand across the ocean so that we can all outfit our rigs Aussi-Style. We really enjoy talking to these guys and we are excited about getting our hands on some of their gear. Then we do another Mojave Trail update.

Corey from @bearvalleyoverland comes on to talk about their new shop in Big Bear then we talk about the shenanigans from Winter Expedition at #koh in #johnsonvalley

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.

Scott and Aaron from @expressrally join us to talk about the stuff they have planned with their Overland Adventure Series. Don't miss out on the opportunity to join them on their upcoming New Mexico trip! Then we talk about the run we did in #bigbear on Labor Day.

Sean Reyes from @shocksurplus joins us to talk about how he built his business from a small dropship organization in a spare bedroom to where it is now. Check out www.shocksurplus.com to see all the tools and resources they have to help you choose your next suspension system.

We took the week off and John requested that we replay the Forearm of Justice episode. So, here it is. It is kinda crazy to look back at this episode. So much has changed and so much is the same. I hope you guys enjoy it.

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.

Because we didn't record this week, I thought it would be fun to revisit one of our favorite episodes. This is a recap of an event we did in San Diego back in September of 2019. If you haven't heard this one yet, please enjoy it.

Nick from @rogueoverland joins us to talk about what they have been up to over the last 7 years. Then we talk about how bad the new #topgun movie is going to be.

We give our final thoughts on #semashow, play the interviews from Day 3 with @optimabatteries @bajaforged @lge_ctsmotorsports @toyotausa @xtrusionoverland @mcleod_racing and talk about Jose's transition to a new #frontier

This week, we have no Jose and no agenda. So, we talk about lights, the new #patreon campaign, the new TC shop and then stories from our construction days. 

With no scheduled guest this week, we open up the live video meet to some of the people in the chat room. We convince a few people to log in and talk to us for a while. I don't know why they trust us, but it was fun.

Jeff and Christine from @wheretonext.overland join us to talk about their overlanding adventures and explorations. Please go follow them to keep up on their adventures. Then we discuss the new #tacoma

@ultra4jones joins us to talk about his experience at #KOH2021 He shares the ups and downs of prepping for race day and how the #roadianMTX tires did in the grueling desert race.

Jose and Nichole tell us about the trip they took to Death Valley over the holiday break. Between the aggressively pokey ghosts and the readily available donkeys, it sounds like Jose is super excited to go back there soon.

All three of us recorded remotely this week and Cody borked the audio somehow. He did his best to clean it up, but #thisepisodesucks. If you can listen to it, we appreciate it. If not, come back next week for your normal high audio quality, but low content quality show.

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 ?

Bethany and Paul from @radiochattergame join us to talk about how they came up with this really fun and engaging game that helps people get to know each other better on any adventure. Then, Cody's new operating system crashes the show and the guys make fun of him for using #linux operating systems.

The guys get together after the break to talk about Christmas, Johnson Valley, KOH, and Jose's upcoming Death Valley Trip.

Paige & Kelly from @mcrey_mx join us to talk about how they went "full send" on starting a new company that brings functional and stylish motorcross gear to the female rider. These ladies are killing it and they make some really awesome gear. Go sheck them out at www.mcreymx.com

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.

Seriously, I'm tired and exhausted and running out of fuel. This show should be a perfect demonstration of where I am at right now. Whatever. It is what it is. We will get back on track some day.

We literally watch Matt drive home from work, talk about how Wookies reproduce, and then learn about how temperature drops when you go to higher elevation. Don't listen to this one.

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.

Theo from @ruggedbound joins us to talk about the amazing overland products that they are bring to the US from South Africa, including the @tourtopcovers_us The TourTop was our favorite product from SEMA last year and we think it might just be the answer to all of our truck storage and cover problems.

Frank and Jason from @outdoorx4 magazine join us to talk about the origins of the publication, where the magazine is going next, and random interactions with #ledzepplin Then we talk about the upcoming #mojavetrail trip. It's happening guys! Let's go!

Jason and Chris from the Wheeling Wine and Whiskey podcast join us and it was great! If you've listened to their show, you know they are a lot of fun. We had a great conversation about everything and nothing at the same time. Please go subscribe to their show for more of this hilarious content.

We basically ramble on for an hour and talk about random topics that come up in the chat room. I'm not saying it's our best episode, but Matt and Jose convince me to not edit out the bad words this week.

Amy Lerner ( @teamlerner ) joins us to talk about how she went from wall street, to building a family, to successfully competing in several epic offroad races, and now, directing documentary about the life of offroad legend Rod Hall ( @HallRacingUSA )

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.

BC Vaught joins us and tells us about running the #baja500 for the first time, we discuss the @kanatitires and @rotatinomotorsports Then we discuss the new #ramrampage that is coming out in South America

We talk to Bill from LithiumAutoCare.com and he tells us how he cam up with the cool names for his products. Then we touch base with @duty.driven to talk about the new leveling kit and Nexen Tires on his Super Duty
