NOTICE I'll be at Overland of America September 12-14, 2025

[Jim Oaks]

Hey all,

I'll be in the Content Creator section of Overland of America in Jay, Oklahoma September 12-14, 2025. If you can come out to the show that would be great. If you bring your Ford Ranger and tell me you use TRS or visit our Instagram and YouTube account, I'll give you free swag. I know there are Ranger owners out there that use your Ranger for overlanding or weekend off-road camping adventures. I'd love to see it there.

See you soon!

I spy both a TRS3, a Marley and I think that Jim guy was lurking around in the background too

Ya, Dustin, his wife, Zinger, Marley, and I all spent the weekend hanging out together. I have a ton of content to go through.

It was an eye opening experience and I learned a lot this weekend.

I'll share all of that soon.

I got home just before midnight. Let's just say I took the road less traveled. While going over the Ouachita mountains in Oklahoma, and right after this pic, the trail turned into big rocks with some deep washouts that were too extreme to stop and pose in, to narrow to turn around between the trees to skip, the trail was 10-miles long, and the sun set before I got to the end of it. It was a good time!

That Barbie car down hill race...

Anyone leave in an ambulance?

 

[Jim Oaks]

No, but someone let their kid race, and I think he got bruised up a little. They started 3/4 of the way up the hill. I guess they had a lifted truck fest prior to this event, started the race from the top, and guys were launching over the water and hitting the bank. Or so I heard.

Was it at least fun to do? Where did you place?

 

[Jim Oaks]

I place myself at the end of the track and got splashed every time they hit the water.

A Power Wheels Bigfoot done up as a TRS truck would be cool.

I just found myself doing an interview in someone's video from Overland of America at the 37:30ish minute mark.

Hmmm...

Not a single mention of the wonderful staff here at TRS... that make you look good.

He asked about the truck, not the website. Had you been there, I would have gladly told him that you're the one that washes it.

New video. This one has some shots from the Saturday trail ride in it.

my truck would have made his dodge look great.

It is actually a pretty clean truck in its own right, I saw it at MOORE last spring. I would do something similar in the back if my truck was wider.
