Tonight, Aaron takes a headshot, Jeremy buys smaller tires, & Ben can’t make it out

Welcome to the off-road podcast. A podcast about everything off-road. We cover the news, review products, and interview people in the off-road industry.  Your hosts tonight are Aaron, and Jeremy, and my name is Ben.  Welcome to the show.

Jeremy – Bought new tires.

Aaron – Test fitting of the 37s.  Shot an elk.  Got my uncle into a care facility.

Ben – Went to take the boys shooting up in the hills and to play in the snow… didn’t make it out of the driveway. The starter went out on the 4runner. Got it today installing & tomorrow. Also picked up some KC Hilites wire hiders for 4 bucks a pop that were on clearance via Autozone.

We’ve got a new contest to announce! It is elementary, my dear watson. All you need to do is tell us what rig you would buy, how you would build it, and how you would use it if you won a large sum of money. We’ll read all of the entries on our December 19th show and pick the winner at random to receive a pair of Warn Epic Shackles. Here’s how you enter. Write to us through any of our social media or to our email at offroadpodcast@gmail.com.
