He Shot an Off-Road Reality Show in 5 Days! | Expeditions Series | E121

JD sits down with Rich Klein—founder of Trail Hero and mind behind the brand-new Trail Hero Expeditions reality series—for an inside look at the 570-mile, five-day overlanding challenge that zig-zagged through Arizona, Nevada, and Utah and is airing on Speed Sport 1. From jaw-dropping sunsets above Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon rim to campfire camaraderie at Sand Hollow State Park, they unpack what it takes to film a TV show entirely off-road—plus a few behind-the-scenes miracles that kept production rolling. Rich explains how casting works, why smaller-tire rigs can still shine, and what’s in store for Season 2 (applications are open!). 📍Trails and DestinationsSand Hollow State Park, UtahZion National Park, UtahGrand Canyon – Whitmore Overlook, ArizonaDrummond Island, Michigan🛠️ Gear and ToolsTyri Offroad LightsRideDog GPS TrackerWarn Winch (official site)🚙 Community ShoutoutsAdam: RideDogGlenn PlakeJD: MeAndMyYellowJKRich Klein: Trail Hero🌎 Advocacy & ConservationBlueRibbon CoalitionUtah Public Lands Alliance (UPLA)📰 News TopicsTrail Hero Expeditions Season 1 TV DebutTrail Hero 2025 Event Preview📅 Events and ResourcesTrail Hero 2025Apply for Trail Hero Expeditions Season 2📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!
