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. Check out his website here: https://radial-dynamics.com/ He also has a few tech art...
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.
Today I sat down with Matt, our good friend visiting all the way from Colorado. Matt was kind enough to hang out with us and show us around Utah for a few days right before the pandemic started last year. He's got an engineering background and has a pretty dope LS swapped 3 link toyota he takes camping with some cool homebuilt add-ons for it. Here's a quick overview of his LS Swapped toyota and weldernator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7ltIsm7LEg...
Okay so it's been a bit since our last podcast and we owe you guys an update. Here's a bit of info about what's new in our lives AND we answer more of YOUR questions. Thank you everyone for cyber bullying me into making another episode, without your constant DM's, e-mails, texts, youtube comments etc bullying me into it, this wouldn't have happened. Will it be another year before our next one? Probably not... would love to do some interviews soon so we all have that to look forward to for sure!...
Almost didnt post this one, but here's me all alone answering questions asked on our stories. I wanna say first off i googled it and i completely got the dempster confused with the other part of the pan american highway which goes into alaska lmfao. But either way we would be stoked to find some stock 4x4 and cruise all around america's hat... which i'm actually a citizen of come to think of it. This is the last solo podcast i'll ever do for sure so you won't have to put up with any others of th...
In this one Ian explains more than you ever wanted to know about shitty Toyota trucks and also we try to avoid answering some of your questions. For those of you interested in the podcast about WW1 we mentioned I cannot suggest it enough and heres the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHgeVKUGlWk Also yes we're still alive! Next month we'll be setting up a full podcast studio and we'll be back on our videos and podcasting so thank you guys for sticking it out! Lots happening in this episode,...
This is a basic introduction to automotive wiring and some of the stuff involved in it. Wiring is deceptively simple but even so i'm still not the best at explaining the stuff that goes on in my head. Thanks for listening!
This episode is about off-roading/overlanding 101. We talk about some things to think about whether you're just getting into it or if you've been doing it since it was called camping.
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 transm...
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...
This episode might be all about 4 links and suspensions in general. Or it could be about nothing.
We give you guys our 100% honest feelings about the RTT industry and share our experiences from importing our own brand, fixing them up, and having our patented designs stolen from the other companies. There's some good info about everything we've broken on RTT's over the years and the things we do to fix them, as well as some behind the scenes insight into the whole thing!
In todays episode we answer your questions about everything WEW. These are all submitted questions from our IG that we go into in depth.
Episode 4 is all about the new Corona junk, how some people get swindled out of their money, a little bit of suspension tech, and I complain about stuff. The offroad part of it starts at like 8 minutes in, sorry.
This episode is all about our stupid opinions about stuff! Just like the rest of them are i guess... anyways this is probably the best one yet so i hope yall like it. Dont forget to watch our youtube videos, instagram is cancer i think we're gonna be mainly making videos from now on!
In this episode brittany has prepared 20 questions for me and not told me about them beforehand. Learn about my stupid opinions on trucks, builds, learning to work on your rig... learn whether or not i can believe its not butter, and if i think reality is a simulation.
