They're sharing all the nitty-gritty details of their trip, from what they expected versus the reality, to the essential gear and vehicle mods that got them through it.

They'll talk about the trail's relentless boulders, unexpected rainstorms, and the surprising challenges they faced, including a broken down vehicle and a pesky transmission leak.
