Welcome to the Off Road Podcast. Today we will be exploring the off road world– whether you like crawling up rock ledges or enjoy exploring the backroads with your family. Stay with us to find out off road news and topics to interest every guy & girl who craves the outdoors as seen through the windshield. I am your host Ben and I’m here with my co-hosts Aaron & Jeremy. How’s everyone doing?

ANYONE DONE ANYTHING EXCITING? 

• Aaron- Took a day off mid week and went camping with my 5yo daughter. Still fighting with Nissan about my airbags.
• Jeremy- Went dirt biking, broke my speedo mount. unknowingly broke some wiring on my ignition trying to take the speedo off, which cut the trip short
• Ben-  Went and saved a couple who went off the road up near Greenwater and helped recover them with local off road recovery group. Got replacement tire I discovered wore down due to bad alignment.  Bought lights to set up my rig for SAR.
