Trail Hero was my very, very first event last year. So as many of you guys know, I’m pretty new to wheeling. I mean, I don’t know how long I can say I’m a new wheeler. I mean, like, can I say that for a year, two years, three? I don’t know how long I can say it for. But when I went to Trail Hero last year, I legitimately was brand new. I had, we had bought our 2021 JLU. So it’s my, our EcoDiesel. And Wes had just finished his TJ. He had taken it out to San Hollow. So I had been to San Hollow one time before and it was for two days. And that was kind of his maiden voyage on the Wesacon.(…) So he found this event and he’s like, let’s go to it together. And he’s like, it’s kind of like Easter Jeep Safari. Now, you have to understand Wes, 20 years ago, used to do jeeping and wheeling and stuff all the time. I never did that. So going out to San Hollow, watching him wheel and stuff and kind of playing around on some of the obstacles, that was the most I had ever really done. I did go down to Moab with him for like one weekend and we did two trails and he drove most of it. So that was all of the experience that I had going into Trail Hero. And so in my mind, I didn’t know what to expect. Like what were the crowds going to be like? I had heard that Easter Jeep Safari was huge. It was like Moab would just be overrun with people for the entire week. And in my mind, I was envisioning like every trail was absolutely packed. And so I had these ideas of what an event would be like.
(…)
And when I got to Trail Hero, yes, it was a huge event.(…) There were huge long lines and there were so many different options and these are the times that you go and this and that. And it was a little overwhelming.(…) So I love this topic because it’s one of those things where if I could go back and talk to my younger self, if I could talk to myself a year ago, it’s like be prepared for these things.
(…)
So the little bit of wheeling that I did do, you have to understand like as a brand new wheeler, I’m still learning how to wheel and like literally every single obstacle I have west or someone like telling me which way to go.
(…)
In my mind, the thing that stood out the most was there are definitely guides there, wonderful guides. So they’ll have someone at the beginning, the middle and the end. So you got your gunner is the person that the end you’ve got your mid gunner and then your lead.(…) And I was expecting that one of these leads would be at every single obstacle.(…) I, there was not, there was not. I remember when I came up, so it was our very first trail. I’m super nervous. All these people I never ever wheeled with more than like two people before. So being on, it was triple seven.(…) And it was more of a night run. It started at six o’clock in the evening. And so all day I was nervous about it. And then we get out there and there’s all these people and all these rigs that are way more built than mine. And we come up onto the first obstacle and I’m like sitting around like,
(…)
where’s my spotter? Like, is there someone that’s gonna help me up? And I had to try to figure it out and I couldn’t get up it. I couldn’t figure it out, right? And I got really nervous, all these people behind me and everything. So I ended up pulling off the obstacle and going around.(…) And the next obstacle, Wes got out and he spotted me over. And so that was one thing that I wish I would have known.(…) Pick the level of trail. And I blame this on Wes because he picked the trails. He wanted to go on the harder stuff. But for me, I would have picked something that was more like a five, not a seven.
(…)
So know your abilities before you go out and know that you’re not going to have someone at every single obstacle. So just be comfortable going over a lot of the obstacles yourself.
(…)
Those trail guides and those people that are going to help you over and spot you over, it’s mostly on the more bigger, more technical obstacles. So you’ve got like the drop on the maze. There was someone there.(…) You gotta be nuts, there was someone there.(…) A lot of the technical ones, there was someone there. But for the most part, there wasn’t. So that was something that surprised me.
(…)
(Blank Audio)
(…)
Absolutely.
(…)
(Blank Audio)
(…)
So I mean,(…) I do love the idea of booking trails. And it’s cool that it gives you kind of a breakdown and a list of all the trails that you can go on, the dates and the times and all that kind of stuff. I mean, I personally, I took the lessons learned from Trail Hero and I implemented those into a winner 4×4 Jamboree.(…) And so I reached out to my friends who I had made. I’d made a lot of friends on Trail Hero and it’s like, hey, are you going to winner 4×4 Jamboree? So booking those trails with them. So and the way that I look at it is that you’re going with more people that you know at the time, Wes and I really didn’t know anybody when we went to Trail Hero. So going with friends and if the guides are busy and you really do need a spot, it’s really easy for one of your buddies to get out and just quickly spot you up. So it’s nice to go with friends and you can kind of plan ahead and be like, hey, these trails are going at this time. Like this one has plenty of space, let’s book it. So I do think that that is a really cool, I wouldn’t say unique because I know that all the different trails do that, but it’s cool to be able to know which ones are going to be guided, which times that they’re going to be going.
(…)
And then it also lets you know when the trails are going to be empty afterwards. So that if you wanted to maybe run a trail afterwards, it’s like, okay, this trail was ran, they started at 10 o’clock. So by the time two o’clock comes around, it should be empty. So I can go and run that one later. EGS I know is a little bit different because I think you have to get like permission, right?(…) Like if you do.
(…)
Yep. And that right there, that little bit of advice that you just mentioned, I didn’t know that with EGS.(…) And so I know, I know that with EGS, that was my very first time. And so I was glad to be able to kind of hang out with you guys, kind of feel it out and tag along and follow you guys. But that right there, I didn’t know that they would shut down trails.
(…)
I did not experience that at Trail Hero last year. So Trail Hero last year, Wes and I, we again went on triple sevens for the first day and he ended up breaking something. One of his blockers broke. And so that night he was fixing it. He needed a part, all the parts stores were closed. And so he had to go out first thing in the morning to go get the parts. We ended up missing our hit time for that trail. And so once we got it fixed, it was like 10 a.m. Our hit time was like eight o’clock and it’s like, ah crap, like we missed our trail.(…) Maybe, you know, we’ll go out there and we can like find a trail. We had gone out on to Milt’s Mile on his shakedown run that I had mentioned previously. And in our mind, we were thinking, okay,(…) Trail Hero is a giant event.(…) I think it actually surpassed EJAS last year. It is huge. And so in my mind, I was thinking, oh, there’s just Jeeps everywhere and every single trail is going to be absolutely booked and like packed and everything.(…) So we left the house probably around 10, 10 30 or so. And by the time we got out to Milt’s Mile is about 11. It was empty, absolutely empty. And so that was a learning lesson for me that, you know, yes, you should sign up for a lot of these trails. It’s great to meet friends. It’s great if you’ve never been there before to learn the trails. Those guys, just like you had mentioned, they are probably local. They know the trails really, really well. And so it’s a good way to experience the trail in a safe way.
(…)
That doesn’t mean that you can’t go and experience other trails outside of that too. And so that is something that I wish I would have known. I would, I just thought that every single trail was like blocked off or totally booked or packed full of people. They weren’t. So if it was something like, hey, I want to go out and do a shakedown run or I just made this fix on my rig and I want to make sure that it’s holding up and I just want to do something easy, you should be able to do that. So those are things that I wish I would have known.
(…)
(Blank Audio)
(…)
Yeah, you’re brave to do two trails in a day, to book two trails. Like I’ll do three trails on my own, but a lot of these trails, like I’ve been on, so a trail hero, like when I met you on the bays and the ledges. I want to say that there was at least like 30 rigs, maybe. I mean, they were booked,(…) and something that would, if you were to do it on your own, would probably take an hour and a half.(…) With that many rigs, it’s like four, five, six hours, unless there’s a rollover. Like you never know what’s gonna happen. It’s sometimes you think, well, you look on the map and it shows you, oh, you go on to onX or whatever and it’s like, okay, it’s like a mile or so, how long could that really take you? Takes you a long time, a long time with that many rigs. And so overextending yourself, like you were talking about, like I think that limiting yourself to one booked trail with these groups is probably the max. Now, something that I was surprised with was on one of our last days, we booked Front Range. Now, Front Range is not as well known as like the MACE. It’s a great trail, very technical. Same with Papa Smurf. Awesome trail, absolutely awesome, highly recommend.
(…)
There were four people, the two guides and Wes and I. That was it.(…) And it was great. And that’s actually how we met Rick and Chris, who have become our friends now. They were our guides and we ended up hanging out with them for the rest of the day. After we finished it, it took us all like two hours to finish.
(…)
They’re like, well, that’s everything. We thought we have more people on the trail. Should we go hit Papa Smurf? It’s like, let’s go, let’s do it. So yeah, not every single trail that you book is going to be as packed as the MACE or those more well-known ones. But just to be safe, I would say just book one a day, for sure.
(…)
Yes,(…) yes.
(…)
Yes.
(…)
Oh, absolutely.(…) From like that area that we, like the starting area, and I know that it’s changing this year. They’re going to a different kind of format where the staging lanes are going to be at the fairgrounds, which is what they did for Winter 4×4 Jamboree. I prefer the other way around and they explain why they did it. And it makes sense to me. It’s not as convenient.
(…)
But from where those staging areas were for last year at Trail Hero to where Unforgiven is, for example, 45-minute drive. So like you look at it on a map and it’s like, oh, I think it’s only like six miles or something. It’s going through dunes. It’s going through all these different things. So just plan accordingly. It looks close on a map, but it takes time. It really does.
(…)
Oh, absolutely.
(…)
Yep.
(…)
Oh, absolutely.
(…)
Oh, absolutely.
(…)
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So what’s funny is I’m not sure if I told you about our new Canadian friends that we met right before EJS. So this young couple, no, they were on the, they were on “How’s Revenge” with us.
(…)
Yeah. So they had come down from Canada to go to Easter Jeep Safari. They had never gone to Easter Jeep Safari, wanted to do it. They had like a brand new Jeep. There was a sensor that was, I’m not exactly sure which sensor it was, but they couldn’t get into four wheel drive. So when they were coming through, we met them because they were picking something up from us off a marketplace.
(…)
We’re like, “Hey, we can take a look at it.” We tried to help them, but it definitely is a sensor. We don’t sell sensors. We don’t fix sensors.
(…)
And so we tried to help them as much as possible.
(…)
They limped along as much as possible down at EJS. They were able to do, I think, one, maybe two trails, but for the rest of the time, they couldn’t wheel. So they drove all the way from Canada to wheel and they were there for the entire week. And really, they only wheeled one or two days.
(…)
And so that’s why when we heard that they were still down there and that their Jeep was broken and that they weren’t doing any more trails, it’s like, “Hey, join us on Hell’s Revenge and go on that one.” So do a thorough rundown, especially if you’re coming from across the country or out of country. Do a thorough rundown of your Jeep to make sure everything is perfect. Like you said, know your weak points of your Jeep, like you joints, maybe, Amanda?
(…)
That is being prepared.
(…)
That’s being prepared. Yes, you’re an overachiever, Amanda. Seriously, a press? That’s impressive.(…) Nope, no pun intended. Oh my gosh, that was bad. I’m sorry. Delete that.
(…)
That’s what happened.
(…)
Yep. And that’s what we…
(…)
So for the Wesa-con, so it’s funny that you mentioned axle shafts. Yeah, we actually bring extra axle shafts. He ended up breaking one of his axles and we didn’t really know it until we got home.(…) It was actually on Wes Room,(…) on one of the obstacles that we found it was an optional.
(…)
But yeah, we heard a pop and didn’t think much of it. But anyways, yeah, we bring axle shafts and because of the 777 fiasco that we went through, he now brings extra lockers. He understands, just as you were saying, like understand your rig, understand its weak points.
(…)
Just because it was a custom built Jeep, Wes built it himself, he’s still like engineering some things with it and everything. But just the way that that locker cable runs, it gets pinched. And we’ve tried it several different ways and it’s been pinched twice. We’ve broken two locker cables, so we always bring extra locker cables. So that’s just an example of understanding your Jeep, your rig, and being prepared for it while you’re out there. Little break, it just happens. And a lot of times people will have spare parts on them. They’ll have tools and everything.
(…)
Just also don’t be that person that’s on the trail that expects other people to fix them. That you don’t have any tools, that you don’t have any recovery gear. Make sure that not only are you bringing those extra pieces and parts, that you’re bringing the tool kits too. That you’re bringing recovery kits so that you can be the person that is jumping out and being like, “Hey, I’ve got a soft shackle. Do you need it?” “Hey, I’ve got this wrench. Do you need it?”(…) It’s always so, so super helpful. It’s always better to be over prepared than under prepared, for sure.
(…)
That girl right there, she did. She did. See you live and you learn. And that’s the beautiful part about having experience. And going back to the idea of this whole podcast is that you’re new to it. You don’t have that experience. And so leaning into other people’s experiences and being like, “Okay, well, what can I glean from this? I can learn from what other things can I bring?” I know that for us specifically, we’ve gone on runs where Wes broke a knuckle on his Jeep.
(…)
We were close enough to home to where we lugged up a whole generator and his welding setup from home, which was a big pain.(…) But after that, he was adamant like, “I am going to get a welding set, a portable one.” I didn’t even question it absolutely. I could see the value in that. And since then, at Winter 4×4 Jamboree, he used it.(…) I don’t know if at Eastern Jeep Safari if we used it, but basically almost every time that we’ve gone out, either we have needed it for something or someone else has needed it. So just thinking of those kind of things to put into your toolkit that could help you or others out as well. So I mean, your U-joint helps someone else out. Our welders help someone else out. And that’s what the jeeping community is all about. You’re going out there, you’re learning how to wheel, you’re spotting each other, and you want everybody to make it off the mountain safely.
(…)
And that’s what’s so great about the community is that we’re all here rooting for each other and wanting to help each other. And I love that.
(…)
I was going to say, “Oh, I drink.” You see?
(…)
Yes.
(…)
( Pause )
(…)
Oh, nice.
(…)
( Pause )
(…)
Oh, absolutely. I think it was that East Rajeev Safari because, you know, I was struggling with the death wobble. And I think you guys were the ones that were talking about ball joint deletes and I’m like, “What?” Like, I didn’t even know that that was a thing. And so, yeah, like, if I would have been on that same trail run, I would have definitely pulled him aside and been like, “What is this? Like, is that legit? Is it only for trails? Can you really run him on the streets?” Like, that’s a great opportunity to really talk to someone in person. No one likes to– in this day and age where, you know, you’re flipping through videos every two seconds and, like, if no one gets back to you within 30 minutes, it’s like, “Ah, I forgot about you already.” It’s nice to have that immediate connection with that person, get immediate answers, and that is great to have. Going to the vendor show, like, for example, at Winter 4×4 Jamboree, that’s actually how I met Next Venture. So, I was struggling bad during Winter 4×4 with my bumper. So, I had just put on those 40s, right? And I had cut out a bunch of my wheel wells, put on these fenders, everything. I thought I had all the clearance in the world. I even have a ramp out of my shop outside. And so, we were testing it every single angle we possibly could. We thought we had it dialed in. I was not prepared for how much my tires would rub on my bumper.
(…)
And I had an aftermarket one on there. It wasn’t anything special or whatever, but it just hung over so much. And then the approach angle,(…) especially on Unforgiven, you’re coming up onto these walls,(…) and you can’t hit them straight on because you’ve got this big, huge bumper on the front. And so, I was really frustrated.(…) And so, it was great to be able to just go up to them and be like,
(…)
“What is this chop bumper? What does that mean? What you’re saying I’m going to have to weld something on, or some of my frame off? That doesn’t sound right.(…) Is that still safe? Is it going to compromise the frame?” So, it’s nice to be able to get that immediate feedback from the vendors and to build those relationships with them as well.
(…)
I completely agree with you. A vendor show, you should not look past, have fun. Great food there, too. There was some ice cream there that was just top-notch. It was some custard that was amazing. Of course, I always have to bring food into it, snacks.
(…)
And then, the music festival as well at night was awesome. There’s just so much going on at these events that it’s not just getting out there and being in the big crowd of people and wheeling. It’s creating community, creating friendships, creating bonds,(…) experiencing,(…) meeting all these new vendors and being able to see firsthand what they have to offer, being able to listen to good music under the stars and just having the best vibe. It seriously is.
(…)
Oh, yeah.
(…)
Yep.(…) (Silence)
(…)
YouTube, of course, you got to have Rory and, yeah, got to go meet him down in Moana. Yep.
(…)
Yeah, I actually got that video. I have a short of it. So I’m going to have to go back and look at it and see if you’re actually in it. Be like, “There you are! Oh, my gosh!” Yeah. Yeah, I was at the very bottom of it recording as you were going up. That was so funny.(…) It was wild.
(…)
Oh, absolutely.
(…)
And what I love about Matt,(…) the thing that I love about Matt is that he is like, he’s the nicest dude in person. So I got to have a chance to actually talk to him for a little bit at Winter 4×4 Jamboree during the vendor show.(…) And it was almost, it was like the very end of the day. Most of the people had already kind of left and people were kind of packing up all their booths and everything. So it was very, very light. And he took the time to really talk to us. And he just seems like the nicest dude. Think of that super friendly, and I’m not saying he’s old, but just thinking of the demeanor. Think of the sweetest grandpa, grandpa vibes, or dad vibes that just is really caring, really sweet. I just love him to pieces. He’s a great guy, super great guy. So the person that you see on YouTube is like the same person, you know? And that’s, it’s always fun to see that, to see what they’re actually like not on camera. And it’s so fun to see when they’re actually even better in person. So, yeah.
(…)
(Blank Audio)
(…)
Absolutely, I remember when I was in March, I was down there and the whole crew for the Yi crew had come out from Texas.(…) And I was that I’ve been friends with Daisy Cutter. And so I got to meet her in person, it’s just so fun.(…) Yes,(…) she’s so awesome. Yeah, we spend like three days together, it was so much fun. It was so much fun to meet people in person. But I also wouldn’t pass up the opportunity, like yes, you’re meeting people for the first time that you’ve met on Instagram. But take the opportunity, this kind of like a little hack, right?(…) Get to your staging area early. Get there like 30 minutes early. Stage it there and every Jeep that comes through, go check out their Jeep, go make friends. That is such a great opportunity to meet people, to see what people have done to their rigs to give you some ideas for your own rig for yourself.
(…)
But just to make friends, that’s how we’ve made a couple of our friends, is just sitting in line waiting for the thing to start. And don’t pass up that opportunity, don’t be shy in sitting in your Jeep, walk around, make friends. I was in line for, I can’t remember which one it was, but Aqua Jeep Girls. So Julie,(…) I’d seen out of the corner of my eye, I’d seen this Aqua Blue Jeep and now like fangirl moment for me. Because Trail of Heroes was my first time out there and it’s like, I’d only really seen YouTube videos. And she was like someone that I’d been watching for a while and just really admired her.(…) And so when I saw her Jeep, I was like, is that Aqua Jeep Girls Jeep? And so I of course walked around and was taking pictures and my gosh, I’m being a total fangirl right now and someone comes up and was like, hey, are you looking for Julie? And I was like, is this Aqua Jeep Girls Jeep? And they’re like, yeah, hey Julie, come over. I’m like, my God, I’m gonna meet her in person.
(…)
Don’t miss those opportunities, go meet the people, go say hi, go take pictures, go mingle. That’s what this is all about. It’s so much fun, don’t miss it, seriously.
(…)
Yep.
(…)
(Blank Audio)
(…)
She’s another one of those people where she’s the exact same person off camera or even better in person than on camera. Like she’s a sweetheart, absolutely freaking love her, absolutely love her.
(…)
(Blank Audio)
(…)
I watched it, absolutely I watched it.
(…)
(Laugh)
(…)
She is.
(…)
(Blank Audio)
(…)
Yes. (Blank Audio) So I do wanna say one thing,(…) trail etiquette.
(…)
There are a few things that newbies may not understand.
(…)
And I know that I didn’t really understand it either. But as I was watching it, I could understand why other people were getting frustrated. Luckily, I was not the person, hopefully, that was bugging people. But for example, right after the shoot, you remember at Trail of Hero, there was always a big lineup of people wanting to go up the shoot. It’s very iconic, very popular. There’s an obstacle right after the shoot.
(…)
This is an obstacle that at Trail of Hero, Wes couldn’t get. He tried two or three times. But there was a huge lineup of people, of course it’s optional, you didn’t have to do it. So there was only maybe one in three, one in five that were trying it. But there’s still people wanting to try it. And so trying it two or three times, not a problem.
(…)
Sitting on the obstacle for 30 minutes is not okay.
(…)
Just keep other people in mind and being respectful of that and not, like try it a few times, then if you don’t get it, then pull off, get in line. You can try again, that’s fine. But just remember other people.
(…)
So yeah, Trail Etiquette,(…) garbage, big thing. Make sure if you pack it in, pick it out. If you see any garbage on the trail, pick it up, pick it out, keep the trails nice.
(…)
So just learn some Trail Etiquette, that’s just another thing that I would, to a newbie like myself to try to do these things and learn these things.
(…)
Yep.
(…)
Absolutely.
(…)
Hey, he did get it at winter four by four. So I was super, super proud of him. It was the day after he rolled. And so it was like the Wesacon comeback. It was a victorious moment. But yeah.
(…)
Oh yeah. Yeah, he got pretty floaty up front. Like he had his hand on the reverse, like ready to pull backwards. And you can see like he had one wheel way up in the air and the other one was just barely touching. And I’m like, oh my gosh. Geez. Made for a cool video. But yeah, he said that that was probably the most tippy he’s ever been. So it’s a little sketchy, a little sketchy. But still fun.
(…)
I’ll let you do that. I don’t know if I’ll try it.
(…)
Maybe.
(…)
We’ll see how we’re feeling, you know, if we’re feeling spicy or not.
(…)
We’ll make you feel better.
(…)
Your Jeep.
(…)
Your Jeep 1000% can get up it.(…) I mean, I got like, I got you.
(…)
We just, you know, you know, there was there was one obstacle on the ledges.
(…)
And it was one that we legitimately watched someone flop over on. And it made me really scared to go up it. Honestly, there was a bypass and someone’s like, I don’t know. The bypass seems a little bit harder than than the actual obstacle, which sounds very much like you got to be nuts, right? Like the bypass is not better.
(…)
It’s terrible. It’s terrible.(…) Anyways, like I don’t even call that a bypass. It’s like you’re just like stuck between a rock and a hard place on that one.
(…)
So on the ledges, I pulled up to it and I was super, super scared. And something that stuck out to me was there was just a guy, I don’t even think he was part of our group. He was with another group and he was just kind of watching. You know, we all love watching the obstacles and I pulled up and I was like, asking the crowd, like, should I do it? Like, I don’t know how I feel about it. And they’re like, if you’re going to do it, just know you commit to it. Like the second you go into it, you’re committed and follow through. Right. And I definitely did.(…) That video is very interesting.
(…)
But I committed and you got to be nuts is the exact same thing. You just you commit to it. You really, really do. So as long as you keep that in mind, you’ll be fine. Just commit.
(…)
Commit now, Amanda. Commit now. (Laughter)
(…)
We’ll get you to do it. We’ll get you to do it. I’m not going to do it again, but we’ll get you to do it.
(…)
Really? Making this hot tub? Like, I mean, when Reggie and I did it, like, we went up at like 0.5 miles an hour. Like, it was the slowest crawl. I was crawling slow on purpose.
(…)
Like,(…) oh, okay. That’s fair. That’s fair. That’s fair. It’s a totally different beast.
(…)
Them stickies aren’t that stickies at that point.

(Pause)
(…)
You should have done it again just to be like, you know, hey, it’s not that bad. Come on.
(…)
You can find us on YouTube and on TikTok and on Instagram and on Facebook. Not, I mean, we’re not as active on Facebook, but YouTube, we have our full-length videos where we do our epic jeeping adventure. If you’re into, like, garage builds and stuff, we have our builds there as well. Our whole model is build stronger so you can play harder so that we can build a strong jeep so we can go play real hard with Amanda and Micah.
(…)
And then on TikTok, we really like to do a lot of lives on TikTok. In fact, one of our last builds, we built almost completely on live so that we could answer questions to our followers and if they had any(…) questions about the parts that we use or how we do things. So it’s been a really, really fun, interactive way of talking to our community and building a community as well. So that’s at Beaman Builds. So it’s spelled like Beaman.
(…)
My husband loves it. Like, yeah. So it’s not like B-E-E, but yeah, Beaman, Beaman Builds. And yeah, we’ll see you there. Love to have you.
(…)
I love you.

You’re my friend, you’re my new friend.
