We go over listener questions that i didn't get to ask on my podcast with Bilstein, and some questions specifically for this podcast. I also dive into more suspension talk, bypass tube placement, air bump valving, issues with shocks and where the industry is headed. Additionally i find an excuse to complain about the government as much as possible.

Brittany talks about her first 3 link build, i rant about stuff i barely understand, and we answer some questions. We talk about our rubicon trip that used up an entire 2 lb spool of welding wire, and about our upcoming moab trip next week that we're bringing the samurai on... except it doesnt have a front axle or any suspension right now.

Hey guys, here's our 1 year update on whats going on. We have been on a ton of trips, broken alot of stuff, built a ton of cool rigs, and have lots of exciting new things planned for the year ahead.

This episode was recorded at Bilsteins factory here in San Diego with some of our good friends over there. I decided to post it here on our podcast feed because its got a ton of great info and stories in it.  There has been no editing done on mine or Bilstein's part to alter or delete anything that was said so this is raw and uncut (minus some audio leveling). Bilstein has been a really valuable part of WEW and we are eternally grateful for them believing in us and helping us.

I was joined by Braeden of Overland Outfitters to discuss our blind shock test. We tested king, elka, icon, fox, and bilstein shocks back to back on a 3rd gen tacoma. We kept the tire pressure, driving style, and course exactly the same and compared all the different shocks back to back. Long time friend of the shop and current WEW employee, Nick, as well as Brittany, swapped out the shocks for each test so we wouldn't see what we were running. Hear our full thoughts about the tests!

I was very excited to sit down with 2 guys from Fox to talk about everything shocks. This is another part of my interview series with folks in the off-road industry who are innovators and at the top of their craft.

Today is the first in my series of interviews where i focus on small businesses or shops that are innovators in their field and producing top tier products. It was a pleasure to sit down and talk power steering, both about full hydro setups and hydraulic assist setups, with an expert. Whether you've got a trail rig with a squeaky pump, or just hate your steering feel in general, this is one you wont want to miss.

We just got back from spending a week on the Rubicon Trail in our new (to us) 86 suzuki samurai that Brittany built up and drove. Hear about our trip and i guess i got into some non-sense rants a bit. 

Another fantastic episode from the best offroad podcast recorded in julian CA on a friday in june 2022. Brittany and I sit down to talk about her new samurai project, the never ending nissan build from hell, future plans, our patent, mountain biking, growing our own food, products on our website, and more!

Today i got to sit down and talk to my friend Craig who took me on my very first rock crawling trail back in the day. We talk a little bit about some of the misadventures we've had, the impressive amount of things both of us have broken together, and some other random tangents. 

2 months since our last podcast we've finally been cyber bullied to the point of recording a new one. In this episode i try and answer folks questions about shocks from coilovers to bypasses to air shocks and more. Next episode we'll do a dive into shocks 101 with more info about the basics of what products are offered and what each of them does.

Our first vacation in 2 years has come to a close, and we recount what we did and where we went. Most of our trip is around utah and colorado but we explore a little bit of a few other states as well.  I also posted high res photos from the first few days on the beginning of a blog here: https://www.wheeleveryweekend.com/blogs/trips/a-month-on-the-road

Today we talk about our 5k+ mile trip coming up at the end of this month and our search for new places to live to build a ranch that's an offroaders paradise. We also dive into a bit of a discussion of mig welding vs tig welding and talk about our super last minute buildout on our favorite truck (our 2012 tundra).

Lots of updates in this one since we last talked, the shop is running at full tilt, we've been cutting on our plasma table, bending lots of tubes, and trying to teach ourselves to tig weld. We also bought a new tow rig/daily driver that was supposed to remain stock and reliable but we just got bypasses for it, so thats just the way it goes i guess. 

This is a long one, today i got to sit down with my good friend Chris who i served with in the military. We were stationed together in upstate new york for a few years. We dive into the military, his transition from an infantry sergeant to theoretical physicist student to toyota tech program and more. Hope you enjoy this episode and we have some new podcasting equipment coming to make these a bit easier on the ears in the future.
