They Signed With Zero Plan | THX Series #6 | Ep 140

JD sits down with Brian Ritchie and Jeff Hesse of Team GenRight Offroad for a hilarious, honest Trail Hero Expeditions recap that feels more like campfire bench racing than a formal interview. The guys talk about how Brian jumped from overlanding into a full rock-crawling build, how Jeff got dragged into the adventure with almost no off-road background, and how Moab, Sand Hollow, Windrock, and Whitmore Canyon shaped what they now want out of the sport. From a sketchy tire-change challenge and a near-empty fuel tank to poolside chaos, pork nachos, and late-night campfire stories, this episode captures the friendship, humor, and mayhem that made Trail Hero Expeditions memorable. There’s also a bigger conversation here about overlanding versus technical wheeling, what makes a great off-road event, and why public land access matters when your rig becomes your way to keep exploring. If you like Jeep builds, overlanding, rock crawling, Moab trail talk, Sand Hollow stories, and off-road TV behind-the-scenes chaos, this one is worth the ride.📍Trails and DestinationsSand Hollow State Park, UtahSand Mountain, UtahMoab Area TrailsWhitmore Overlook, ArizonaWindrock Park, Tennessee🛠️ Gear and ToolsRock Krawler SuspensionAEV DualSport SuspensionUltimate Dana 60 AxlesARB Air LockerRPM SteeringGenRight JK Roll CagePRP Seats & HarnessesWARN WinchesMORRFlateBadger Welder🚙 Community ShoutoutsBrian Ritchie: Livin2RelaxGenRight Off RoadJD: MeAndMyYellowJKJeff Hesse: Team GenRight OffroadRich Klein / Trail Hero🌎 Advocacy & ConservationBlueRibbon CoalitionTread Lightly!Utah Public Lands Alliance (UPLA)📰 News TopicsTrail Hero ExpeditionsTrail Hero TV ShowsTrail Hero Expeditions Season One Recap📅 Events and ResourcesTrail HeroTrail Hero X / Trail Hero ExpeditionsWhitmore Canyon Overlook and Whitmore Point📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!
