Episode 96 – The Alaskan Expedition Trailer
This episode contains audio that is a significantly different quality than you are accustomed to on the podcast. Thats because I pulled the audio for this show from a GoPro video that was shot using an external mic. My wife and I (and my sister-in-law) were driving back from visiting Lodge Manufacturing in South Pittsburgh, … Continue reading
Alaskan Expedition Trailer – Part 4: Visualization
After sitting in the garage in my camp chair staring at a pile of camping gear set on top of my Alaskan expedition trailer frame, I decided that I needed a better visualization of the trailer. A nice professional rendering will also be helpful in the event that some sponsors want to allow us … Continue reading
The Alaska Expedition Trailer – Part 3 tail lights and layout
With the trailer now sitting as a rolling frame, I needed to wire up the trail lights so that I could pick up the lumber and other materials.

Apparently that’s when they were just reconnecting and actually predated the Dirt Road Trip partnership. Since then, their website launched and they’ve attended many events. They’ve been doing … Continue reading
Caps and Beanies

Since I can’t figure out the stupid e-commerce thing I’m not taking orders directly. Please email me at the4x4podcast@yahoo.com with the color and size of hat … Continue reading
Episode 94 – XJ Talk Show and King of the Hammers – audio fixed
On the 94th episode of the podcast, we talk about Craig’s experience at King of the Hammers and finally have Tony from the XJ Talk show on. I don’t know how we’ve gone 94 episodes without having Tony on the show. Tony is the host of the XJ Talk show but also runs the XJ … Continue reading
