    Jun 14 2026
    JD is joined by Angela Rickerson, the Seattle-based driver behind Ronda Rhino, for a conversation about Jeep life, Rebelle Rally, Pacific Northwest rock crawling, and the messy, rewarding path into off-roading. Angela shares how a 2017 two-door Jeep Wrangler went from “cool preschool drop-off rig” to a heavily built desert rally and rock crawling machine. The episode digs into Rebelle Rally endurance, sponsorship realities, stunt driving, DirtFish-style rally training, Jeep clubs, women in off-road, and why good spotting beats “just send it” every single time. If you’re into Jeep Wrangler builds, women off-roaders, rally driving, rock crawling, or just finding your people on the trail, this one is absolutely worth the ride.📍Trails and DestinationsWashington Off-Road TrailsBest Offroad Trails near Rainier, WashingtonEvans Creek / Trail #519, WashingtonRampart Range Road, Colorado🛠️ Gear and ToolsJeep WranglerMotobilt Jeep JK/JKU PartsK&N FiltersKC HiLiTES Off-Road LightsPirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus TiresDometic Electric CoolersDynatrac Jeep JK Axle AssembliesDana 44 Front Crate AxleFOX Motorsports Shocks🚙 Community ShoutoutsAction Driving CollectiveAngela Rickerson: Ronda RhinoBailey CampbellDirtFish Rally SchoolEmily MillerJD: MeAndMyYellowJKMichael GrahamOlympia JeepRebelle RallyRiley Harshman and Ryan Weisenfeld: Trail CoinsRyan Weisenfeld: OLYJKShelby Hall Off-RoadTrails Offroad🌎 Advocacy & ConservationBlueRibbon CoalitionRampart Range Motorized Management CommitteeTrails Preservation Alliance📅 Events and ResourcesRebelle RallyDouble A Rally / Team 102DirtFish Rally SchoolAction Driving CollectiveKing of the HammersTrail Hero Expeditions📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!

    Locked Out Of Your Own Repair | Waypoints | Ep 146
    May 30 2026
    JD is joined by Bryan, Calvin, Nathan, along with Chris Bailey and Joey Seavolt, for a focused Trailhead roundtable on Right to Repair, Jeep mods, vehicle data access, DIY wrenching, and the future of aftermarket parts. The crew connects the John Deere repair fight to what off-roaders are already seeing with locked-down ECUs, security gateway modules, subscription features, Tazer/JScan workarounds, and newer Jeep systems that make simple modifications feel way more complicated than they should. Joey brings the repair-shop perspective, Chris talks about the value of older, more mechanical Jeeps, and the whole panel digs into what happens when vehicle ownership starts feeling more like a software license. 🔥 From the REPAIR Act and SEMA’s Warrior Right to Repair push to the simple act of teaching kids how to change oil, this one is about keeping the garage, the driveway, and the trail alive for the next generation.📍Trails and DestinationsDeath Row Rock Crawl Trail, Montrose, ColoradoMoab Area Trails🛠️ Gear and ToolsBFGoodrich TiresBORLA Exhaust SystemsChilton Repair ManualsFRAM Oil FiltersJeep Wrangler MOAB 392Maxxis RAZR MT Competition TiresOBD JScanSnap-on Diagnostic ToolsTYRI Off-Road LightsZ Automotive Security Gateway Bypass ModuleZ Automotive Tazer JL Mini🚙 Community ShoutoutsBryan: Beatrice JKU the LunchboxCalvin & Jennifer: SRG OffroadCharlie: Just 4 Fun MotorsportsChris Bailey: Stretch_It_JKJD: MeAndMyYellowJKJoey Seavolt: iNerd Repair LLCMatt & Cara: Ozark Overland AdventuresNathan the unpaid intern aka MudhornGladiatorSteve Bogue: MCGVR10🌎 Advocacy & ConservationBlueRibbon CoalitionREPAIR ActSEMA Federal Right to RepairSEMA Warrior Right to Repair ActThe Repair AssociationUtah Public Lands Alliance📰 News TopicsColorado Consumer Right to Repair Digital Electronic EquipmentEPA Advances Farmers’ Right to Repair Their Own EquipmentFTC and States Sue Deere & Company Over Repair RestrictionsJohn Deere Agrees to $99 Million Right-to-Repair SettlementREPAIR Act — H.R. 1566 / S. 1379SEMA Backs Warrior Right to Repair ActDJI Drone Security and Policy Debate📅 Events and ResourcesRepair Act Action CenterSEMA Warrior Right to Repair CampaignThe Trailhead NetworkTrails Offroad Affiliate Link📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!

    May 26 2026
    JD is joined by Ben Burr from Blue Ribbon Coalition for a straight-up land access scoreboard on the fights shaping the future of motorized recreation. Ben breaks down the rescission of the BLM Public Lands Rule, the Roadless Rule fight, Moab route reassessments, the San Rafael Swell, WEMO closures in the Western Mojave Desert, and why the minimization criteria could become a serious threat to OHV access nationwide. They also talk about local advocacy groups, fieldwork, the Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act, and why off-roaders need to submit meaningful comments instead of assuming someone else has it covered. If you care about public land access, trail closures, Jeep trails, overlanding, OHV routes, or keeping backcountry roads open for people who cannot simply hike in, this episode is one to share.📍Trails and DestinationsMoab Area Trails, UtahLabyrinth Rims / Gemini Bridges Travel Management Area, UtahSan Rafael Swell, UtahHenry Mountains Road, UtahGrand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, UtahWestern Mojave Desert / WEMO Route Network, CaliforniaChuckwalla National Monument, CaliforniaRock Springs Field Office, WyomingColorado Roadless Areas🛠️ Gear and ToolsBlueRibbon Coalition SxS Sweepstakes2026 Polaris RZR PRO S 4ChatGPT — discussed as a tool for helping regular users understand agency documents and land-use legal language.🚙 Community ShoutoutsBen Burr: BlueRibbon CoalitionChad Dixon: Trails Preservation AllianceJD: MeAndMyYellowJKSimone Griffin: BlueRibbon Coalition🌎 Advocacy & ConservationBlueRibbon CoalitionBlueRibbon Coalition Action CenterOperation AccessibleOutdoor Americans with Disabilities ActCORE – Keep Trails OpenTrails Preservation AllianceUtah Public Lands Alliance📰 News TopicsBLM Rescinds the Public Lands RuleTimeline: BRC’s 3-Year Fight to Rescind the BLM Public Lands RuleThe Public Lands Rule Is a Public Lands Sell-OffThe Roadless Rule RescissionUSDA Accepting Comments on Roadless Rule RescissionSupport the Grand Reopening of Our Off-Road Trails in MoabHow To Submit Meaningful Moab Comments to Reopen Closed TrailsBLM Proposes Reopening Closed OHV Routes in San Rafael Swell & DesertWEMO Trail Closures: 2,200 OHV Miles Closed in the Western Mojave DesertMinimization Criteria Overreach and the Closure of 2,200 Miles of Routes in the Mojave Desert WEMO PlanBRC Files Intervention in Ninth Circuit Appeal of WEMO ClosuresWEMO: Minimization Criteria — An Endless StandardHow Ancient Nixon-Era Executive Orders Close Public Land AccessOutdoor Americans with Disabilities Act Re-Introduced in CongressLee, Curtis Introduce Outdoor ADA Alongside Measures to Keep Roads Open for Americans with DisabilitiesHow the Environmental Movement Lost Its Power📅 Events and ResourcesBlueRibbon Coalition SxS SweepstakesBlueRibbon Coalition Individual MembershipsBlueRibbon Coalition DonateBlueRibbon Coalition Action CenterWEMO Trail Closures: Take ActionBLM West Mojave Route Network ProjectExecutive Order 11644 – Use of Off-Road Vehicles on Public LandsExecutive Order 11989 – Off-Road Vehicles on Public Lands📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!
