Welcome back. It's the Truck Show podcast recorded from the pod shed here in Huntington Beach, California.

0:06.8

And as you know, I recently visited lovely Flagstaff, Arizona and attended the 2026 Overland Expo West event.

0:13.1

And it was as big and as awesome as ever. I mean, you could get lost, walking around the place, seeing all the innovation, the gadgets, all the camping things you didn't know you needed.

0:22.8

It was always a top-tier first-class show.

0:26.9

While I was there, as you know, we debuted the Jeep with the new American Adventure Lab Powerpack rack that featured the 105-amp hour KC flat battery and a full complement of Redark battery management.

And I probably spoke to, had to be over 100 people asking about the setup throughout the

weekend.

0:45.4

So it was really cool to have people really curious about what we're doing.

0:49.3

And I can't wait to get out and enjoy it soon.

So in my new role as the executive director, I've been busy promoting Orba and sharing our mission of advocating for motorized recreation on public lands and the small businesses in the off-road industry that support it. So since I've been so busy on Orby, I figured it would probably be a good idea to have my legislative director, Laura Butcher, on the show. So we can talk about what we've got going on, some of the policies we're tracking, the wins, et cetera. So we've got her on this episode. And speaking of wins, the Trump administration dropped a doozy on Friday night shortly after our

1:44.4

interview last week, and he signed a new executive order, rescinding executive orders 11644 and

1:51.4

11989, which is a significant step toward modernizing how federal agencies manage off-highway

1:58.4

vehicle access and recreation on public lands.

So here's our quick rundown of our Orba press release.
