Wheelin’

It has taken me a long time to edit this (apologies) HOWEVER!: In remembrance of Keith, a few of us sat down about a year ago with some REALLY GOOD AND some REALLY CHEAP bourbon over the course of the day and talked about some of our favorite memories of Keith and his crazy antics over the years. Stories from his brothers of him growing up, how he recruited Johnny into the off-road community and some of his favorite off-road trips/stories, this is THE episode dedicated all to Keith! #Bourbon #KeithKodet #GitcheGumee

!!! LANGUAGE WARNING!!! This episode is as recorded, Keith and Johnnys last recorded episode together from their last recording session. It is mostly unedited though there were a couple small edits on the public version for some of the content we ONLY talked about in the premium episodes. In an attempt to keep it as much original/unedited as possible, THIS DOES CONTAIN SOME BAD LANGUAGE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! Starting with some good beers for the evening show and following some other drinks from earlier, Keith serenades us with a song to start the show and we discuss the horrible horrible thing that is the island boys, and more beers to get through this dark dark discussion... Conversation moves to talk of solicitor phone calls and a deep talk about the matrix series and the new Ghostbusters movie! Titanic 2 and some other movies being discussed... Then they get into some reactions to some movie spoof trailers.

The automotive and 4x4 world is full of strong opinions. When do they hinder our hobby? Should we all try to be a little more accepting of differing opinions so we can build our communities? The guys get philosophical on this one. #opinions #autovsmanual #importvsdomestic

Keith's daughter Abby now has her first truck, a rare Sonoma ZR5 in Sherwin Williams Flame Yellow. How did we get this truck? How did we surprise her with it? What repairs do we have to do in the next year? Listen in and find out! #Sseries #Sonoma #ZR5

Longtime Wheelin' friend and past guest Bernie Stanaway passed away unexpectedly. Keith and Johnny Orange talk about past adventures with our favorite Yooper as well as his plans for his Willys MB that now belongs to his son Jack. How should the younger Stanaway build his WWII Jeep? What upgrades should he consider? Whatever the case, we are proud that he is keeping Bernie's last Jeep alive. #willysmb #fordgpw #flatfender #semperfi
