The Trailchasers Podcast

We talk to Kira Murdock, @dirt.vader on Instagram. She tells us about how her love of off roading and her career in film recently came together for an epic day on the job. Cody & Matt talk about a recent trip to #bigbear, and don't forget to submit your photo for the #offroadcharitycalendar @falkentire

This week, Matt and Cody talk about some things that have been going on with us and our plans for the future of the show. We also spend some time talking about ways you can help support those effected by the California Wildfires. @redcross @HSVC_OJAI

Because Matt and Cody are looooosers, we have to re-run one of our recent shows this week. So, we decided to re-broadcast the first episode Matt was on. New episodes should resume next week.

We launch or first annual #offroadcharitycalendar #contest with @syndicate.offroad and we hear interviews from SEMA with @milkteacoma @ivdsuspension @maxtraxhq @takemaxtrax @jcroffroad @dometic For more info on the Offroad Charity Calendar Contest, visit www.trailchasers.net/contest

Since Matt was a no-show at SEMA, our "Man on the Streets," Jose came out to Vegas with Cody and helped us get some interviews from the floor of the show. Thank you very much to Hellwig Products, Advanced Fuel Dynamics, and Lund International for taking the time to talk with us.   @HellwigProducts @AdvFuelDynamics @LundInter @falkentire

We intended to spend the full episode talking about the Tacoma 3G event in Oceanside. Somehow we get side tracked and spend a significant amount of time talking about Cody's time as a Loss Prevention officer at Mervyn's and Target. We apologize up front for the non-off-road related content...sometimes it happens. @tacoma3g @beyondwraps @tacodust @ragofabrication @jhgarage_chris @_robdaman
