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!

BLIND shock shootout wrap-up!

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.

Fox Racing Shocks

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.Check out his website here:https://radial-dynamics.com/He also has a few tech articles covering what we talked about here:https://radial-dynamics.com/blogs/news

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.

Shop builds and life updates

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.

Trail carnage and near death experiences with the guy who got me into rock crawling

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.

Shocks!

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

A month on the road across 8 states

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).

Upcoming 2 week adventure, tig vs mig, tundra buildout

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.

Ian and Brittany shop update, new truck, new employee, current projects

This is a no holds barred off-road/overland/fabrication and suspension tech podcast made by real people, for real people.

Nice to listen to a non sponsor driven podcast. Keep up the good work.

Great podcast

Been following Brittany and Ian’s adventures for awhile now, love to listen to their stories and they are so fun and laid back with real world opinions and knowledge. Hope this podcasts becomes a forever thing!

Down to earth offroad funhouse

Wheel Every Weekend

Unfortunately we have more experience than most with fixing stuff that's blown up on the trail. In this episode we dive into a few of our worse breakdowns, how we fixed them, and the fun adventures that resulted. The important thing here is to go on adventures without being scared of the inevitable, if you are really wheeling you're gonna break some stuff! What's most important is to stay calm, have a good attitude about it, and probably go wheeling with us just in case haha. From welding transmissions, driveshafts, hubs, link mounts etc. to blowing up diffs on the trail, its always a good time with awesome people. If you have any ideas for future episodes let us know!

A decade of trail repairs

I'm sure you're sick of hearing this but we were pretty shwitty by the end here so probably tune us out at like 45 minutes in. Anyways over the past decade or so we have seen some awful fads come and go, overlanding is not something i expected to blow up so large but im also the guy who thought jeep was gonna go bankrupt when they debuted the 4 door sooo... maybe my market predictions aren't accurate. We've become pretty jaded by all the stupid shit happening in the off-road influencer world and i'm hoping off-roading as a sport can survive all the negative stuff going on. Thank you guys for listening to the podcast, this thing is blowing up! We are officially all out of stickers and have had to emergency order a ton more to keep up. Once we are moved into a larger work space we'll be setting up an actual podcast studio and doing guest interviews with the same totally transparent attitude. Seriously every single listen means a lot to us and we really enjoy doing these and seeing the growth from it, it's been great.
