Welcome back to the Truck Show podcast. Once again, coming to you from the pod shed in lovely Huntington Beach, California.

Hope everybody had a great Easter holiday and spring break. And I am back from Utah and my actual redemption run. Can you believe it's been a year?

Since the accident, I guess if you went back and listened to me about nine months ago, I sounded a little

bit different than I did today. And it's been just incredible. The progress that I've made,

being in Moab, seeing everybody, all the hugs, all the high fives, the handshakes, the industry.

Man, just makes me feel alive to have that experience and have so many people care about

Marin and I. And it just, it was great. And even better, the weather was beautiful. The Jeep worked

flawlessly. I'm feeling good. I'm keeping busy. Things are continuing to improve. And again,

people have asked how I felt making the drive and honestly, no ill effects or issues. I drove right by that spot. I'm like, not today. Although I do want my AirPod back that's sitting over there at Mile Marker 1, I-15 North in Utah, if anybody ever finds it. Yeah, I mean, really, the only thing that sucked was I wish I had Marin

with me on this one. But he was at home and she didn't come, but it was great. I needed it. It was great to be out on the open road. It's great to be a Moab. Great, great, great, great, great. I can't use that adjective enough. I just, I feel good. And I'm just, there's a lot of stuff going on right now that I'm just super

thankful for. And for those of you asking about her, we just posted a video on my social and

go to at Sean P. Holman. And she definitely wants to come back on the podcast soon. So she says that

she's going to make a post on Podshed Insider, ask Marin anything, and then she'll come on and answer it. So I think that's pretty cool. But one of the cool things about being a Moab is I finally took the Jeep off road for the very first time. First dirt, the new Bill Stein 8100 DSA shocks are flat out amazing. So they were great driving out there. But when I hit the dirt, you know, you never know. You never know if there's to be sharp edges or, you know, they're going to be too soft and wallowy or what? These things are perfect. Having the dual speed adjustments on the DSAs allowed me to dial it in for the weight. And I'm just like butter. Things that I thought would hit the bumps, not only didn't hit the bumps, but were like buttery smooth and then, you know, rebounded from there. It was great. Can't wait to get some more off-road miles on them. We've got plenty of on-road miles, a couple thousand, and they're fantastic, but having that justability is huge. So shame from Bill Stein will be on the show in a future episode to talk about the technology in them, and we'll talk about my experiences with them down the line.

And I believe those are available. The Tacoma versions are even better because they have RCOs and

JCOs, the rebound cutoff and the Jounce cut off. So essentially internal bump stops within the

shock on both the rebound and compression sides. They're even better. So if you're a Toyota guy,

it's just an

amazing shock. And on the jeeps, I helped them prototype the two-two bypasses on the J-Ks. And they were

phenomenal. One of the best sets of shocks I've ever had on a Jeep. But these are even more flexible.

Because the Jeep has such limited up travel, the last part of that bypass zone when you get into the hard compression,

you aren't into it too easily. You don't have enough room and there's a very short amount

of travel or stroke for them to dissipate the energy. The DSAs that I have on the new JL,
