Not every build has to belong to a household name to deserve the spotlight.

At Where2Mud, our Built for the Bog: Stock2Stacked features are about more than famous machines, viral builds, or the biggest names in the industry. We want to highlight the real riders, garage builds, shop builds, weekend warriors, and mud-loving people who are making this community what it is. Some builds are known everywhere. Some are still getting dialed in one ride at a time. But all of them tell a story.

This week’s feature takes us to Florida with Steven Barr of Winter Springs, Florida, and his 2018 Polaris General 1000-4, better known as the G-Wagon.

And let’s just say — this thing is not built for blending in.

A Lifetime Around Riding

Steven has been riding since he was little. Like a lot of people in the mud community, his love for off-road started early, spending time on four-wheelers and being around the lifestyle from a young age.

For him, riding has always been about more than the machine.

It is about meeting new people, hanging out, and being part of a community that shows up for each other. That is one of the things he loves most about the mud riding world.

“Everyone helps everybody,” Steven said.

That one sentence says a whole lot about why this sport means so much to so many people.

Meet the G-Wagon

Steven’s ride is a 2018 Polaris General 1000-4 named the G-Wagon.

The build is a mix of self-built work and shop-built upgrades, with a major hand from Wicked Off-Road in Groveland, Florida. Wicked Off-Road built the custom lift setup and has helped turn this Polaris General into a machine that is big, bold, loud, bright, and very much built for the mud.

Currently, the G-Wagon is sitting on 48” Tirons wrapped around 24×7 ITP wheels, but Steven already has plans to go even bigger. By mid-summer, the machine is expected to move up to 52s.

Because apparently, 48s are just the warm-up.

The Build Breakdown

The G-Wagon sits on a custom 8” lift built by Wicked Off-Road, paired with PCF uniball upper and lower components and 8” portals.

The drivetrain has also been heavily upgraded. Steven is running a fully built gear-to-gear transmission by SuperATV, complete with a 30% reduction and turf delete. The engine is mostly stock, aside from a tune and exhaust, but the clutching has been dialed in with custom-tuned Duraclutches primary and secondary clutches.

Steven said he actually prefers the Duraclutches over the STM setup he previously had in the machine.

The lighting setup is another major part of the build. The G-Wagon has 10 rock lights and a set of LED Creations 12V portal lights, making sure this thing shines when the sun goes down.

And then there is the audio.

Steven has eight 8” full-range PRV Neo speakers in the roof powered by a PRV 5K, plus two DD Audio 12s in a custom full-bed box built by ES Mobile Audio, running on a Sound Digital 3K. To keep all of that powered, the build includes two Limitless Lithium Nano HD V3 batteries and a Hot Shot 1000-watt stator kit.

In other words, the G-Wagon is not just showing up to the ride.

It is bringing the party with it.

What Gets the Most Attention?

When people see the G-Wagon, Steven says the things that get the most attention are the audio, the lights, and the sparkling powder coat.

That makes perfect sense. Between the size, the sound system, the glow, and the shine, this is the kind of build that makes people stop and take a second look.

But like most true builds, it is still a work in progress.

Still Under Construction

Steven says the build is not finished yet.

Next up, he plans to add a custom tower bar with six 8” compression driver speakers. The machine is also heading to the fab shop next month to have the front A-arms redone and the portals raked more.

He is also planning to change the full powder coat to candy red.

One of the biggest challenges so far has been getting the suspension geometry right. Steven says they are still working out some of the bugs in the front end to get the alignment exactly where it needs to be.

That is the real side of big builds. The photos may look finished, but anyone who has built a machine knows there is always another adjustment, another upgrade, another fix, and another idea.

Where You Can See It

Steven rides mostly at Hog Waller and Canaveral Groves in Florida. With a busy schedule, he does not get to travel too far to other parks, but if you are riding in Florida, there is a chance you may see the G-Wagon out there doing exactly what it was built to do.

Advice for New Builders

Steven’s advice to anyone starting their first build is simple and honest:

Start small.

“Start with a small build to get your toes in the water before jumping in balls deep,” he said. “The sport gets expensive fast. That 40K will turn 80K quick.”

That is probably one of the most accurate pieces of advice anyone can give in the off-road world. Builds are fun. Builds are addicting. Builds can also get expensive in a hurry.

But for the people who love it, that is part of the process.

Built for the Bog

When asked why his build is Built for the Bog, Steven had the perfect answer:

“Because it’s too big for anything else.”

And honestly, that pretty much sums it up.

Steven Barr’s G-Wagon is loud, bright, lifted, stretched, powered up, still evolving, and clearly built with personality. It is the kind of machine that reminds us why we started the Stock2Stacked series in the first place.

Because every build has a story.

And this one is definitely Built for the Bog.

Some builds are made to ride. Some are made to turn heads. And some are built with so much personality, grit, late nights, and love that they become a rolling reflection of the person behind the wheel.

For Cam Sullivan, also known online as Sassy Obsession, her 2016 Polaris RZR XP Turbo named Sassy is exactly that. Based out of Brainerd, Minnesota, Cam has been riding for as long as she can remember. Her off-road story started young, first behind the wheel of a little Barbie Jeep, then on a Suzuki 60 four-wheeler, and eventually on her dad’s Yamaha Grizzly 660. Riding has always been part of her life, but things changed in 2021 when she met her boyfriend and was introduced to the world of custom builds, bigger horsepower, and machines with serious personality.

That was when Cam knew she wanted one of her own.

Today, she has not one, but two RZRs: Sassy, her mud machine, and Boujee, a 2017 Polaris RZR XP Turbo. But Sassy is the build that truly lives up to her name.

Sassy sits on 42-inch BKT tires with 24-inch Fuel wheels and is packed with performance and durability upgrades. The build includes L&W Fab suspension, High Lifter 6-inch portals with 45% reduction, SuperATV Rhino C Series driveshaft, Rhino 2.0 axles, SuperATV 3-inch lift, Mega Keller ball joints, SuperATV traction bars, STM clutches, a Bikeman Performance Mega Mo Turbo, and charge tubes. The custom exhaust and cage were built by her boyfriend, while the painted plastics were done by a friend.

And while her boyfriend deserves a big part of the credit for the physical build, Cam was not just standing on the sidelines. She put in her own work, including powder coating everything herself through her own powder coating company. That detail alone makes Sassy more than just a custom machine. It makes it personal.

The inspiration for the build came from Boss Whiskey Biz’s old RZR, Sweet N Low. Cam said the second she saw it, she knew she wanted her future husband to build something like that for her. At the time, she had no idea that a year and a half later, that dream would be sitting in front of her. Originally, she planned to go with a pink cage and white plastics, but after seeing someone else with a similar color combo, she switched directions and chose teal — a color combination she had not seen anywhere else.

That choice paid off.

When people see Sassy, the first thing they notice is the color. The second thing they notice is the sound. Cam says the bright colors and straight-piped exhaust get the most attention, and you can hear her coming from a mile away. It is bold, loud, and unapologetically hers.

But like most true builds, Sassy did not come together easily. The biggest challenge was getting everything finished before the first event of the year. Cam and her boyfriend pulled plenty of all-nighters to make it happen, proving that the best builds are not just bought. They are built with time, pressure, patience, and a whole lot of stubborn determination.

And according to Cam, the build is never truly finished.

“There’s always things to add and upgrades to make,” she shared. She is already hoping to go bigger next year.

Cam’s second machine, Boujee, is also getting its own upgrades. Boujee is a 2017 Polaris RZR XP Turbo and was actually Evolution Powersports’ test machine from 2017, meaning it already has their clutch kit, turbo, and charge tubes. The build also includes Lonestar Racing suspension, SuperATV steering rack, Rhino 2.0 axles, Rhino U Series driveshaft, L&W Fab tie rods and radius rods, a custom cage, custom exhaust, and painted plastics. Cam also recently added 32-inch Pro Armor XG tires with 15-inch MSA beadlocks from TireWiz in Buffalo, Minnesota.

For Cam, though, the machines are only part of the story. What she loves most about riding is the people. Whether she is trail riding around Minnesota or traveling to mud parks out of state, she says she always meets amazing people. To her, the mud community feels like family.

That is what makes this lifestyle bigger than tires, parts, horsepower, or paint. It is about the people who help, support, cheer, film, build, ride, and show up.

Cam gives a special shoutout to her family for being her biggest supporters, her boyfriend for building two “bad ass machines” for her, her sister with JS Photography for capturing such great footage, and everyone who has helped make her dreams a reality.

For anyone starting their first build, Cam’s advice is simple: have a plan and start sooner than you think you need to, especially if you are trying to make a deadline before an event.

You can catch Sassy out riding mostly in Minnesota, but Cam has a few out-of-state events on her list, including Bricks Off-Road Park June 11–13, Michigan Mud Jam August 19–23, and Rednecks with Paychecks September 17–20. And knowing Cam, there is always a chance she may get a wild hair and add a few more stops along the way.

So why is Sassy Built for the Bog?

Because every inch of this build reflects the blood, sweat, tears, and passion Cam poured into creating a machine that is not only built to perform, but built to represent her.

In the mudding world, there are brands you notice because of their products, and then there are brands you notice because a man in a chicken suit just rolled into the park and somehow became the life of the ride.

Chicken Shine is both.

Based out of Mobile, Alabama, Chicken Shine Products LLC is owned and operated by JP Brannan, and the brand has quickly become one of the most recognizable names in the off-road cleaning game. With a bold name, an unforgettable mascot, and products made by people who actually ride, Chicken Shine was built for the folks who know exactly what it feels like to spend an entire Sunday scrubbing mud off a buggy.

Their mission is simple: cleaning and shining products that work.

From Mud-Covered Sundays to Chicken Shine

Chicken Shine started the way a lot of good off-road ideas do: out of frustration, necessity, and a whole lot of mud.

JP and his dad were tired of spending their Sundays detailing two or three buggies, scrubbing them down after a weekend of riding. They wanted a cleaning product that actually made the job easier. So instead of just complaining about it, they decided to create one themselves.

And Chicken Shine was born.

But the Chicken Shine story goes deeper than the bottle. JP has been riding for as long as he could press the gas on a four-wheeler. The off-road lifestyle has always been part of his family, and so has the chicken suit.

JP’s dad, Bo Brannan, has been wearing the now-famous chicken suit since before JP was born. It started as something funny for his own family. JP’s older brother thought it was hilarious as a baby, and when JP came along, the reaction was the same.

What began as a family joke turned into something much bigger. Today, the “chicken man” brings smiles, laughs, and plenty of attention everywhere he goes.

And according to JP, Bo doesn’t know a stranger.

Why Chicken Shine Stands Out

Let’s be honest: in a world full of off-road brands, Chicken Shine is not easy to forget.

The name alone gets attention. Add in the chicken suit, the personality, and a product line that riders actually use, and you have a brand that feels different because it is different.

JP said it best: “It’s CHICKEN SHINE… the marketing doesn’t get too much more noticeable. And our products actually work.”

That combination is what makes the brand so strong. It is fun, loud, memorable, and rooted in real mud park experience. Chicken Shine is not trying to sell to a community from the outside. They are part of the community.

They ride. They clean. They know the struggle. And they built products because they needed them too.

Favorite Place to Ride

When it comes to favorite riding spots, JP says Wild Country is hard to beat.

Located only about 45 minutes away from them, Wild Country is familiar territory. It is one of those places they know like the back of their hands, and that kind of home-park connection matters in the mudding world.

Every rider has that one park that feels like home. For Chicken Shine, Wild Country is that place.

Advice for Riders: Take Care of Your Buggy

JP’s advice for new and experienced riders is straight to the point:

Give your buggies proper maintenance.

That means keeping them clean, changing parts when needed, and learning how your machine talks to you. JP believes riders should become fluent in their buggy’s “language” and know how to fix what needs fixing.

And he is right.

Mud riding is fun, but it is also hard on equipment. A clean, well-maintained buggy is not just about looking good at the park. It is about protecting your investment, catching problems early, and keeping yourself ready for the next ride.

That is exactly where Chicken Shine fits into the lifestyle.

What’s Coming Up

Chicken Shine is especially excited for the Lost Riders Helping Hands Back to School Bash at Sabine ATV Park, happening July 17–19.

Events like this are what the mud community is all about: riding, showing up, supporting one another, and making memories that go way beyond the trails.

You can expect Chicken Shine to bring the shine, the energy, and probably a whole lot of “BKAAAWK.”

Where to Find Chicken Shine

Chicken Shine products are available online at ChickenShine.net. Riders can also check the retail locations tab on their website to find a Chicken Shine dealer nearby.

Final BkAAAwk

Chicken Shine is more than a cleaning brand. It is personality, family, mud park culture, and a whole lot of shine wrapped into one unforgettable package.

They saw a problem every rider knows too well, built a product to solve it, and brought a chicken suit along for the ride.

And honestly? That is exactly the kind of thing that is Built for the Bog.

“BKAAAWK” — Chicken Shine 🐔

Some people are part of the off-road world because they ride. Some because they build. Some because they bring people together.

Jason Phelps and Cassi Mayer, founders of Power Sports Expo, have found a way to do all three.

Based in Kansas City, Kansas, Jason and Cassi have created something that goes far beyond a single event. Power Sports Expo is a place where the community and the industry collide — where riders, racers, vendors, brands, and fans all come together for one adrenaline-filled weekend built around connection, excitement, and a shared love for the off-road lifestyle.

At its core, Power Sports Expo offers the mudding and off-road community exactly what so many riders are looking for: a destination experience. One that combines a vendor expo featuring top brands and experts in powersports, live concerts, racing for cold hard cash, and the kind of energy that only happens when people who love this lifestyle come together in one place.

What makes Jason and Cassi’s vision stand out is that they do not box the off-road world into just one lane. They understand that this community is made up of many different styles of riding, many different machines, and many different kinds of people. From mud to rock, trail to dune, Power Sports Expo embraces every part of it.

And that is exactly what makes them such a strong fit for Built for the Bog.

A Life Built Around Riding

For Jason, this world started early.

The two-stroke life was part of his childhood, riding with his father and two brothers on 11 acres just outside the Oklahoma panhandle. As life moved their family around the Midwest, his passion shifted into BMX during his early teen years, riding parks from Texas to Illinois. By high school, gearhead friends and off-road adventures had entered the picture — along with a few stories he jokes his parents probably still do not know about.

That early exposure to riding, machines, and adventure helped shape a lifelong passion for the off-road world. But what makes Jason and Cassi’s story meaningful is not just where it started — it is how they have taken that passion and turned it into something that serves the community around them.

What Makes Power Sports Expo Different

There are plenty of events in the off-road space, but Power Sports Expo has a different feel because it was built with a bigger view of the community in mind.

Jason and Cassi have intentionally created an experience that celebrates the builds, the people, and the diversity of the terrain we set out to conquer. Whether your heart is in the mud, on the rocks, out on the trail, or flying through the dunes, Power Sports Expo recognizes that all of it belongs.

And then they add their own signature spin: a little nightlife, some race fuel, and a full weekend atmosphere that keeps people engaged long after the engines cool down.

That blend of industry, entertainment, competition, and community is what makes Power Sports Expo unique. It is not just about showing up. It is about creating a space where memories are made, brands are discovered, and relationships are built.

Favorite Places to Ride

Ask true off-road people to name their favorite place to ride, and you usually do not get a simple answer. Jason put it best — it depends on the week and just how good the last ride was.

When it comes to trails and rocks, two favorites rise to the top: Southern Missouri Offroad Ranch (SMORR) and TexPlex at Fall Creek. For Jason, both offer the perfect combination of scenery and technical climbs, creating rides that are as beautiful as they are challenging.

For mud, he says he would have named Boggs and Boulders until recently, but River Run left a big impression. The deep-cut trails, off-camber sections, and even surprise rock on the backside of the mountain made it an unforgettable experience.

As for dunes, while there have not been as many dune rides over the last twenty years, Waynoka’s Little Sahara still stands out. At around 1,600 acres, it may not be the largest, but the sand trail system inside the park makes it an absolute blast.

It is clear Jason and Cassi appreciate every kind of terrain — and that wide appreciation is reflected in the kind of event they have built.

Advice for Riders

Jason’s advice for new riders is simple and smart: just go ride.

Learn your machine before pouring money into it. You may think you want to build for rocks and discover that mud is really your thing. Or you may start in the mud and realize the trails call your name. The point is to find your style first, then build around it.

For experienced riders, the advice hits a little deeper: remember to enjoy the journey.

It is easy to get caught up in the rush — the late nights in the shop, the busted knuckles, the long drives, the pressure to get ready for the next ride. But those are the moments that make this lifestyle what it is. The work, the anticipation, the people, the memories. When the engines fire up and the music starts playing, be present enough to take it all in.

That kind of perspective tells you a lot about the people behind Power Sports Expo. They are not just chasing the next event. They are fully aware of what makes this life special in the first place.

More Than an Event

One of the most powerful things Jason shared was this:

“There are two great days in a person’s life. The day we are born, and the day we discover why.”

And maybe that is really at the heart of this whole story.

Sometimes purpose is something you go looking for. Sometimes it finds you.

For Jason and Cassi, this community and this industry may not have needed them — but it clearly gave them something meaningful. Joy. Purpose. Belonging. And in return, they have poured that gratitude back into the off-road world by creating something that brings people together in a real way.

That kind of heart matters.

What They’re Looking Forward to This Season

When asked what they are most excited about this riding season, the answer was not tied to bigger builds or bigger crowds.

It was more parks, more laughs, and more memories.

Because at the end of the day, it is the late nights on the trails, the friendships built around the campfire, and the family you create through this lifestyle that matter most.

That answer says everything.

And because no story about Jason and Cassi would be complete without a little humor, there is also one very important question still hanging in the air: Will Jason let Cassi throw 63s on the Pro S?

According to the Magic 8-Ball, the outlook is unclear.

But the truth sounds a lot more certain: Cassi does not need — and definitely is not waiting on — permission. If she wants it, she gets it.

The only real question might be where exactly you ride 63s in Kansas.

Built for the Bog

Jason Phelps and Cassi Mayer are not just event owners. They are community builders. They understand that the off-road world is about more than horsepower and tire size. It is about connection, adventure, energy, and the people you meet along the way.

Through Power Sports Expo, they have created a place where all of those things come together — and that is exactly the kind of impact worth highlighting.

They are helping bring the powersports world together, one weekend, one ride, and one memory at a time.

That is what makes them Built for the Bog.

In the mud world, some brands are built around products, some around performance, and some around personality. Limitless Off-Road brings all three together in a way that feels real, entertaining, and rooted in the kind of friendships that make this community special.

Based in Hamburg, Arkansas, Limitless Off-Road, led by owner Rowdy Flowers, has carved out a place in the off-road scene by doing what the best people in this space do: showing up, riding hard, having fun, and bringing others along for the experience.

What Limitless Off-Road offers the mudding and off-road community is simple but powerful — a chance to ride with some of the baddest, toughest buggies around, with the entertainment to go along with it. Their content and presence capture the spirit of what so many riders love most about this lifestyle: the machines, the memories, the laughs, and the people beside you on the trail. And Rowdy adds another layer to that energy by being completely unafraid to line up against some of the biggest buggies out there, all in the name of fun. That fearless attitude and willingness to go for it is part of what makes Limitless Off-Road so fun to watch and easy to root for.

Like a lot of great stories in this community, theirs started naturally. They had always been part of the mud scene, but things really took off on social media when they began posting Lucy, their unforgettable basset hound riding on the X3, to their personal pages. Lucy quickly caught people’s attention, and what started as fun posts turned into something bigger. After a ride at Sabine, a close friend from their hometown — someone who loved filming, editing, and flying drones — encouraged them to take the leap and start sharing their adventures more intentionally.

That leap turned into Limitless Off-Road.

At its core, Limitless Off-Road is not trying to be something overly polished or manufactured. It is exactly what people are drawn to: a group of friends with some seriously cool buggies, a talented content creator behind the camera, and plenty of shenanigans worth capturing. That authenticity is a big part of what makes them stand out.

When asked what makes Limitless Off-Road unique in the mudding community, the answer is found in the energy they bring. Their brand is not just about the ride itself — it is about the experience around it. The excitement, the friendship, the fun, and the content all work together to create something people want to be part of. Rowdy’s competitive spirit, mixed with a clear love for the good time that comes with it, gives the brand even more personality. It is not about ego — it is about enjoying the ride, pushing the moment, and not being afraid to take on a challenge.

Their favorite place to ride is Muddy Bottoms, and it is easy to understand why. According to Rowdy, it is the kind of place where you can ride all weekend and never see the same trail, and the facilities are immaculate. For riders who appreciate variety and a well-kept park experience, that combination is hard to beat.

As for advice to others in the mud community, their tip is short, practical, and true: maintenance is key. It is the kind of reminder every rider — whether new to the sport or deep into big builds — can appreciate. Great weekends on the trail usually start with what happens in the shop beforehand.

This riding season, the Limitless Off-Road crew is most excited about what matters most: seeing people from all over, from stock bikes to the biggest builds, and spending time with both old friends and new faces. That mindset says a lot about who they are. At the end of the day, they are in it for the community just as much as the ride.

And if you want to understand their personality in one quick snapshot, their featured quotes say it best:

“If your not first your last”
“In Lucy we trust”

That mix of humor, confidence, and loyalty fits Limitless Off-Road perfectly.

At Where2Mud, we love highlighting people and brands that reflect the heart of this lifestyle, and Limitless Off-Road is exactly that. They represent the fun side of off-roading without losing sight of the community that makes it all worthwhile. Big buggies, bold fun, unforgettable content, and a basset hound named Lucy? That is a combination the mud world can get behind.

In the off-road world, some people stand out because of what they drive. Others stand out because of who they are. Dakila McCombs, better known to many as Killa Jo of Tikila Offroad, brings something to the mudding community that goes far beyond the ride itself. She brings personality, authenticity, humor, heart, and the kind of energy that makes people feel like they belong.

Based in Tennessee, Dakila has built a following by doing something simple, but powerful — showing up exactly as herself and giving others permission to do the same.

Creating a Space for Real People

What Dakila offers the mudding and off-road community is bigger than content. She creates a space where people can feel comfortable, accepted, and free to be unapologetically themselves.

For Dakila, it is all about having fun, letting loose, and enjoying life without judgment. Whether someone is loud, laid-back, outgoing, shy, or somewhere in between, her message stays the same: show up as you are and own it.

That kind of energy matters in a community like off-roading, where the best experiences are often built on connection, friendship, and shared memories. Dakila has found a way to make people laugh, feel seen, and feel welcome — both online and out on the trail.

From Personal Story to Off-Road Creator

Dakila’s journey into content creation started about six years ago when she began sharing her personal story on TikTok. She opened up about getting dentures at a young age because of a genetic gum disease, using humor and honesty to raise awareness around something many people might have felt uncomfortable talking about.

What started as a way to bring light to a difficult experience quickly turned into something much bigger. Dakila created a relatable and positive outlet where others could feel understood and supported.

Then about four years ago, Dakila and her partner of ten years, Tim, got into riding side-by-sides. After their first trip to a mud park, they were hooked.

What started as something fun they enjoyed together quickly became a favorite hobby, a lifestyle, and eventually part of their identity. Together, their names inspired the name Tikila Offroad — a blend that reflects both their relationship and the adventures they now share with the off-road world.

As their riding journey grew, Dakila’s content evolved with it. She began sharing their off-road adventures with the same humor, authenticity, and real-life energy that first drew people to her page. By simply being themselves, Dakila and Tim built a loyal audience that connects with their unfiltered style and genuine love for the community.

And somewhere along the way, those followers and fellow riders became more than just internet friends. They became family.

What Makes Dakila Stand Out

What makes Dakila unique in the mudding community is her individuality. She is not trying to fit into anyone else’s mold. She brings her own flair, her own voice, and her own look into the scene, and that is exactly why people connect with her.

She is bold, approachable, supportive, funny, and real. Her style is part of her signature too. When she heads to the mud park, she is known for fixing her hair in bubble braids and rocking wild, crazy colors — something that has become a tradition and part of her off-road identity.

That willingness to fully embrace herself has become one of her greatest strengths. Dakila reminds people that confidence is not about being perfect. It is about being comfortable in your own skin and refusing to apologize for it.

Favorite Places to Ride

Choosing a favorite place to ride is not easy for Dakila because each park has its own personality and appeal. Being from Tennessee, where the terrain leans more toward trails, rocks, and hills, she and Tim often travel to find the mud parks they love.

One place that stands out is Carter Off-Road in Alexandria, Arkansas. It holds a special place for Dakila because of the atmosphere, the scenery, and the friendships tied to that area. It was also one of the first mud parks they ever visited, making it a meaningful part of their off-road story.

More recently, they made the nine-hour trip to Sabine for Mud Nationals in Texas, and that experience left a big impression too.

For Dakila, every mud park offers something different, and that is part of what makes the off-road lifestyle so exciting. Her advice is simple: you really have to experience these places for yourself to get the full feel.

Advice for Riders

Dakila’s tip for both new and experienced riders is a practical one: download the Lost Riders app. She recommends it right away to anyone getting started because of how useful it is when riding new parks. From uploaded maps to tracking friends and navigating through the woods, it is a tool she believes riders should have in their back pocket.

And in classic Dakila fashion, she adds one more very important reminder:

Always bring snacks.

Honestly, that might be some of the best trail advice out there.

Excited for the Season Ahead

Dakila is especially excited about the momentum she is seeing from women in the off-road community this season. There is a strong energy building, and she cannot wait to see what women across the sport continue to do this year.

Her enthusiasm for the girl gang movement is obvious, and so is her excitement for one of the season’s biggest upcoming events: PSE in Muskogee, Oklahoma. For Dakila, it is going to be a chance for the off-road community to come together, have fun, and celebrate the lifestyle they all love.

A Message That Matters

At the heart of Dakila’s story is a message that deserves to be heard.

She wants readers to remember to always be kind, never stop being themselves, and never apologize for being the baddie they were born to be. She loves being part of the off-road community because, in a world that can often feel divided, this community still shows up to help one another. The friendships built here run deep, and many of the people you meet along the way become like family.

That, to her, is the best part of all.

And for anyone still wondering — yes, her TikTok name is Killa Jo, but her real name is Dakila, and Tikila Offroad comes from blending her name with her fiancé Tim’s. It may confuse people at first, but once you know the story, it fits perfectly.

Quote to Feature

“The key to confidence is loving yourself.”

That line says everything you need to know about Dakila McCombs.

She is fun, fearless, welcoming, and fully herself — and that is exactly why she is making an impact in the off-road community.

From Tennessee to trails and mud parks across the country, Dakila is proof that being authentic never goes out of style.

LLK — Live Like Killa Jo. 💋

In the off-road world, some people show up just to ride. Others show up ready to leave a mark. Chiara Ogle, the force behind Lil Foxy Racing, is doing far more than racing through the mud—she is building community, creating visibility, and helping shape a bigger future for the sport she loves.

Based in Union, Missouri, Chiara has become a bold and refreshing presence in the mudding and off-road community. Through Lil Foxy Racing, she brings energy, heart, and purpose to everything she does. Her mission goes beyond the track. She is passionate about representing women, youth, and families in motorsports while helping make the off-road world more inclusive and more connected.

How It Started

Chiara’s story began with a genuine love for the sport and the people in it. What started as being around the off-road scene quickly turned into something much deeper. The more time she spent at events, riding, and connecting with others, the more she saw the power of the community.

She found herself drawn not just to the thrill of the ride, but to the friendships, support, and adrenaline that make this lifestyle so special. Instead of staying on the sidelines, Chiara decided to build something of her own.

That decision led to the creation of Lil Foxy Racing, where she combined her love of off-road with her drive to create something bigger than herself. From there, she began racing, growing her presence, connecting with other drivers, and sharing her journey online.

But she didn’t stop there.

Wanting to give back and open doors for others, Chiara launched the Lil Foxy Racing Podcast, a platform designed to spotlight racers—especially women and youth—and give them a chance to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

More Than Racing

What Chiara offers the mudding and off-road community goes way beyond competition. She brings visibility, encouragement, and impact.

Through her brand, she is helping grow the sport by promoting others, supporting racers, creating content, and showing that there is room for more voices in this space. She is not just participating in the off-road world—she is actively helping elevate it.

That is what makes Lil Foxy Racing stand out.

What Makes Lil Foxy Racing Unique

Chiara has built a brand that blends racing, media, advocacy, and authentic connection. She is using her platform in ways that matter.

She Gives Others a Platform

Through the Lil Foxy Racing Podcast, Chiara shines a light on racers who may not always get the recognition they deserve. She especially loves highlighting women and youth racers, helping tell the stories behind the helmets.

She Represents Women in a Bold Way

Chiara brings confidence, femininity, and strength into a male-dominated sport. She is proving that you can be girly, fierce, competitive, and powerful all at the same time.

She Creates Opportunities

From organizing women’s races to supporting kids racing initiatives, Chiara is taking action. She is not waiting for change to happen—she is helping create it.

She Connects Multiple Worlds

Racing. Media. Branding. Community involvement. Chiara brings all of these together in a way that allows her to connect people, support brands, and promote the off-road lifestyle from every angle.

She Builds Real Relationships

One of the things that makes Chiara so memorable is how genuinely invested she is in other people. She is approachable, supportive, and committed to building meaningful connections in the community.

She Brings Energy

Whether she is at an event, online, or behind the mic, Chiara shows up with hype, professionalism, and authenticity. People connect with that, and it is one of the reasons Lil Foxy Racing continues to grow.

Favorite Place to Ride

When asked about her favorite place to ride, Chiara didn’t hesitate.

Pikes Offroad tops the list because of its variety of terrain, unbeatable atmosphere, and strong sense of community. For her, it is the perfect mix of adrenaline and good people—everything that makes an off-road trip unforgettable.

A Tip for Riders

Chiara’s advice is grounded, practical, and worth remembering:

For new riders: Learn your machine before trying to keep up with others.
For experienced riders: Don’t let comfort make you careless.
For everyone: Conditions can change fast. Mud, hills, and obstacles can surprise you in a heartbeat.

It is a reminder that no matter how long you’ve been riding, respect for the machine and the terrain always matters.

What She’s Most Excited About This Season

This riding season, Chiara is looking forward to continuing to grow Lil Foxy Racing, showing up at more events, and building even more connections across the off-road community.

For her, the future is about momentum—more racing, more community, more opportunities, and more impact.

A Quote Worth Remembering

Chiara summed up her mission perfectly:

“I’m not just here to ride, I’m here to make space for others, grow the sport, and prove that you can be fearless, feminine, and powerful all at once.”

That right there is the heart of Lil Foxy Racing.

Chiara Ogle is not just building a brand—she is building something that reaches far beyond herself. In a sport fueled by grit, horsepower, and heart, she is proving that leadership can look bold, feminine, and fearless all at once.

And that is exactly why she is Built for the Bog.

In the mudding world, reputation matters. Riders want parts they can trust, builds that can handle the mess, and a shop that actually lives the lifestyle they serve. That is exactly where Dig Rig Powersports has made its mark.

Based in Clinton, North Carolina, Dig Rig Powersports has become a trusted name for riders looking to upgrade, customize, and fully build their ATV or UTV for the trail, the pit, and everything in between. Led by Cameron Medlin, CEO, Dig Rig is built on firsthand experience, proven products, and a real passion for the off-road community.

More Than Parts — Built by Riders, for Riders

Dig Rig Powersports offers everything from minor upgrades to full-built units, serving riders who want dependable performance and quality products from brands they know and trust. What sets them apart is not just the number of products they carry, but the way they bring them together.

With 35+ brands in their lineup, Dig Rig has developed successful combinations that help riders get the most out of their machines. On top of that, they have also created their own line of in-house products, including:

• Snorkels
• Charge air kits
• Lifts
• Performance combos
• Speaker boxes
• And more

Their approach is simple: sell parts they actually believe in. The team at Dig Rig takes pride in offering products they have tested, installed, and stood behind themselves.

Rooted in the Riding Community

While Dig Rig Powersports has been in business for seven years, Cameron’s connection to the riding lifestyle goes back much further.

He has been part of the riding community for close to 20 years, and that kind of experience shows. Dig Rig was not created from the outside looking in. It was built by someone who understands what riders want because he has been one for years.

That foundation has helped Dig Rig earn trust in a space where authenticity matters. Riders know the difference between a company trying to sell to the community and one that is actually part of it.

Favorite Places to Ride

Like many riders in the South, Cameron has a few favorite places that stand out for different reasons.

Boggs & Boulders makes the list because of its massive size and the opportunity to connect with people from all across the Southeast.
Deep Creek stands out because of the way they make riders feel at home and their willingness to make changes that truly benefit the riding community.
And Busco Beach holds a special place, with years of memories and industry connections made there.

For Cameron, Busco is more than just a riding destination.

Since 2008, he says it has offered some of the best East Coast mud holes and snorkel pond action for big machines.

A Simple Tip That Still Matters

In a sport built on adrenaline, power, and pushing limits, Cameron’s advice is refreshingly grounded:

“Enjoy yourself and be kind and courteous to others.”

That mindset says a lot about Dig Rig Powersports. Yes, performance matters. Yes, the builds matter. But so does the culture around the sport. The best communities are built by riders who know how to have fun and respect the people around them.

What Cameron Is Looking Forward to This Season

When asked what he is most excited about this riding season, Cameron’s answer was not about a new part or a bigger build.

It was about family.

He is looking forward to taking his little girl riding and on their camping adventures, a reminder that this lifestyle is about more than mud. It is about memories, traditions, and passing the love of riding on to the next generation.

Built for the Bog

Dig Rig Powersports continues to stand out by combining real-world experience, trusted parts, exclusive in-house products, and a genuine love for the off-road lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a small upgrade or a full build, they are serving the mudding community with the kind of knowledge that only comes from living it firsthand.

For riders who want tested performance and a team that knows the lifestyle, Dig Rig Powersports is built for the bog.

Rowdy Crowd Offroad was not built from a trend — it was built from muddy weekends, trail rides, and a real connection to the off-road community.

Owned by Chelsea and Griffin Garner of Newton Grove, North Carolina, Rowdy Crowd Offroad was born from the same place so many off-road stories begin: weekends at the mud park, a love for the lifestyle, and a desire to create something that truly fit the community they call home.

More Than Gear — It’s a Lifestyle

Rowdy Crowd Offroad offers more than products. They offer a way of life that speaks directly to the mudding and off-road crowd.

From apparel and hats to trusted detailing products like WR Performance and Liquid Performance, plus durable favorites like XtraTuf boots, their brand is built around the real needs of people who live for the off-road life. Every product they carry reflects the kind of lifestyle they know firsthand — one that values quality, grit, and showing up ready for the ride.

But what really makes Rowdy Crowd Offroad stand out is that they are not just behind the brand — they are part of the culture.

They are out at the mud parks. They are on the trails. They are connecting with the same people they serve. That kind of authenticity matters in this world, and it is a big part of what makes their brand one people want to support.

Built From Real Experience

Chelsea and Griffin did not create Rowdy Crowd Offroad from the outside looking in. Their business grew naturally from their own weekends spent riding, hanging out at the park, and looking for apparel and products that matched the lifestyle they loved.

That origin story is part of what gives the brand its edge. It is rooted in real experience, not trends. It is shaped by real people, not marketing gimmicks.

As they put it, what makes Rowdy Crowd Offroad unique is simple: they live this.

They are not showing up just to sell something. They are showing up to ride, get dirty, and be part of the same community as their customers. That kind of connection builds trust, and it is clear their brand has been built with community at the center.

Home Park Roots

For Chelsea and Griffin, Deep Creek ATV Park holds a special place in their story.

It is their favorite place to ride, but it is more than that — it is their home park and the place where Rowdy Crowd Offroad first came to life. Like a lot of meaningful places in the off-road world, Deep Creek is tied to memories, momentum, and the people who helped shape the journey.

Every brand has a starting point. For Rowdy Crowd Offroad, Deep Creek is part of their foundation.

Advice From the Trail

When it comes to advice for riders, Griffin keeps it practical:

“Pick the park that suits the machine you are riding.”

It is simple advice, but solid. Every machine has its place, and knowing where your ride performs best can make all the difference in having a better, safer, and more enjoyable time on the trails.

Looking Ahead to Riding Season

This season, Chelsea and Griffin are especially excited about getting to new parks, exploring new areas, and meeting new people.

That says a lot about what drives them. Sure, the gear matters. The riding matters. But at the heart of it all is the community — the friendships, the memories, and the shared love of the off-road lifestyle.

That spirit comes through in everything Rowdy Crowd Offroad represents.

A Brand That Gets It

At Where2Mud, we love highlighting brands and people who are truly part of this community, and Rowdy Crowd Offroad is exactly that.

They have built something real — a brand shaped by muddy weekends, good people, and a love for the kind of lifestyle that keeps you counting down the days until your next ride.

Their story is a reminder that the off-road world is about more than machines or products. It is about the people beside you, the places that feel like home, and the memories you make along the way.

“We started Rowdy Crowd Offroad from the same place as everyone else—weekends in the mud, good people, and not wanting it to end. Now we just get to share that lifestyle with others and be part of the same community that built us.”

That is what Built for the Bog is all about.

In the off-road world, there are plenty of people who love the ride — but some people bring something even bigger to the community. Abbey Motta, better known as Mud Mom, is one of those people.

Based in Benson, North Carolina, Abbey has built a name for herself by sharing more than muddy rides and great views. Through her content, her family-focused approach, and her interactive event experiences, she reminds the off-road community that this lifestyle is about much more than machines and mud. It is about connection, healing, fun, and the memories made along the way.

More Than Mud: What Mud Mom Brings to the Off-Road Community

Abbey offers the off-road community a refreshing mix of family, fun, and real-life inspiration. Through her social channels and growing brand, she creates content that shows people of all ages can be part of the off-road lifestyle and enjoy it together.

She is also the host behind Tap the Map, a scavenger hunt experience that adds a creative and interactive twist to events. These hunts get riders exploring, engaging, and experiencing parks in a whole new way. It is the kind of idea that turns a ride weekend into something even more memorable.

Beyond that, Abbey travels to parks and events across the country, helping shine a light on what makes each destination special. For riders looking for their next adventure, her content opens the door to new places, new people, and new experiences.

But what truly sets her apart is the heart behind it all. Abbey openly shares her journey through life after cancer, using her story to encourage others to stop waiting and start living. Her message is simple and powerful: life is precious, and the best time to make memories is now.

How It All Started

Abbey’s off-road story started young with dirt bikes and a love for the outdoors, but things took off in a bigger way after meeting her husband, David. He introduced her to four wheelers, mud parks, and the full off-road lifestyle — and once she experienced her first mud park, she was hooked.

What started as fun quickly became a family lifestyle. Riding became something Abbey, David, and their son Cooper shared together, creating a foundation of adventure and connection.

Then life took a hard turn.

In 2019, Abbey was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. During treatment, riding became more than a hobby. It became an escape. It gave her a place to breathe, have fun, and feel like herself again during one of the hardest seasons of her life.

After treatment, Abbey and her family made a decision: they were going to live fully, make memories, and embrace every moment they could.

At the time, they were riding often through their park membership, and Abbey would record videos just for fun. Then David encouraged her to start posting them. She did — and people connected with what she was sharing.

From there, things grew naturally. What began as videos turned into something much bigger for the off-road community. Abbey and her family created the Golden Croc Hunt, a one-of-a-kind off-road scavenger hunt that quickly gained attention. That concept eventually evolved into Tap the Map, which Abbey now hosts as they travel to different parks bringing the experience to riders across the country.

What Makes Mud Mom Stand Out

Abbey’s uniqueness comes from her authenticity.

She is not trying to be anyone else, and she is not only showing the highlight reel. She shares the muddy fun, the family moments, and the real-life perspective that gives her content substance. Her brand is rooted in the idea that the off-road lifestyle is not only about how hard you ride — it is about the people beside you and the moments you take home.

Her focus on family-friendly content also sets her apart in a big way. Abbey shows that off-roading can be adventurous and exciting while still being welcoming, memory-filled, and community-centered. Whether she is out riding with David and Cooper or hosting a Tap the Map hunt, she is creating experiences that invite others in.

Favorite Place to Ride

When asked to name her favorite place to ride, Abbey admits it is a tough choice because every park has something special. But if she had to pick one right now, she says Boggs & Boulders.

What she loves most is the variety. It offers something for everyone — mud riding, trails, and plenty of terrain to explore. And for Abbey, the swimming holes are a standout feature, giving families and groups a chance to cool off, relax, and enjoy the park together.

Even though her family has only been a few times so far, it is a place they are always excited to return to. For Abbey, it captures the perfect balance of adventure and family fun.

Advice for Riders

Abbey shared a piece of advice that a lot of people in this community need to hear:

“One of the most common things I hear is, ‘I don’t have anyone to ride with.’ But honestly, the off-road community is one of the most welcoming communities you’ll ever be part of. If you just show up, you’ll meet people, make connections, and before you know it, you’ve built your own riding crew.”

That mindset reflects exactly who she is. Abbey wants people to stop holding themselves back and start stepping into the experiences waiting for them.

Looking Ahead

This riding season, Abbey is especially excited about traveling to new parks. Even after visiting so many places, there are still plenty she has not explored, and discovering each park’s terrain, people, and atmosphere is something she genuinely loves.

That excitement for what is next is part of what keeps her content and her mission so fresh. She is not stuck in one place. She is out there exploring, learning, connecting, and inviting others to do the same.

A Message Worth Remembering

Abbey’s story is a reminder that the off-road lifestyle is not reserved for the most experienced riders or the biggest builds. It is for anyone willing to show up, try something new, and make memories.

Her journey has been about more than riding. It has been about family, healing, resilience, and living fully after hardship. And that is what makes Mud Mom such a meaningful voice in the community.

As Abbey puts it:

“We’re just out here making memories that will last a lifetime.”

And honestly, that is what being Built for the Bog is all about.

In the mud world, some people find their way into the lifestyle later in life — and then there are the ones who were built for it from the start. Jesse Touchton, owner of Jett Motorsportz LLC in Anderson, South Carolina, is one of those people.

For Jesse, off-road life is not a trend or a phase. It is something he has been doing since he was a kid. That lifelong passion has grown into Jett Motorsportz, a business that serves the mudding and off-road community with parts and services for riders who want to keep their machines ready for whatever the weekend throws at them.

Built from a Lifetime in the Mud

Jesse’s story is simple in the best kind of way: this is what he knows, this is what he loves, and this is the community he belongs to. That kind of background matters in the off-road world. It means the work is not coming from someone on the outside looking in — it is coming from someone who lives it.

That passion shows through in Jett Motorsportz and in the way Jesse connects with riders who trust him with their builds, upgrades, and repairs.

What Makes Jett Motorsportz Stand Out

Every rider has something that sets them apart, and Jesse is not shy about what makes his setup special.

“I’ve got the best dump bed in the game.”

That kind of confidence is exactly the energy the mud scene is built on. It is bold, fun, and backed by pride in what he brings to the table. In a community full of big personalities and bigger builds, Jesse has carved out his own lane.

Favorite Place to Ride

When asked where he loves to ride most, Jesse gave a quick answer that any mud rider will understand:

Busco.

Why?

Because “It’s the Wild Wild West.”

That says a lot without needing to say much more. Busco Beach has a reputation all its own, and for riders who love unpredictability, action, and a little chaos, it is easy to see why it tops Jesse’s list.

Jesse’s Advice for Riders

Jesse also shared one practical tip for anybody headed out this season:

Bring waders, snacks, and a tow rope.

Honestly, that might be one of the most accurate mud-riding checklists out there. If you know, you know.

What He’s Looking Forward to This Season

This riding season, Jesse is most excited about meeting new people and making more connections. That says a lot about the kind of person he is and the kind of presence he brings to the off-road community. The mud scene is not just about machines — it is about people, friendships, stories, and the community you build along the way.

At Where2Mud, that is exactly why we love highlighting people like Jesse. Businesses like Jett Motorsportz help keep the culture alive by supporting riders with the parts, service, and personality that make this community what it is.

And if Jesse has anything to say about it, this season’s motto might just be:

“Put it on the roof!”

We would not expect anything less.

In the off-road world, your machine says a lot about you before you ever hit the throttle. For some riders, it is all about performance. For others, it is about style. For the best builds, it is both. That is exactly where Barrett Hepburn, CEO and artist behind BHD Wraps, has carved out his place in the mud and off-road community.

Based in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Barrett is known for creating custom off-road wraps that help riders take their machines from ordinary to unforgettable. But what really makes his work stand out is not just the final product. It is the experience.

Barrett and his team offer custom-designed off-road wraps with 3D rendering and live design video calls, giving riders a chance to be part of the creative process in real time. Instead of guessing what a design might look like, customers can actually work alongside Barrett to bring their vision to life.

As Barrett puts it, “We help build people’s dream machines!”

From a Garage in Whistler to the Off-Road Wrap Game

Barrett’s story started about 15 years ago while living in Whistler, British Columbia, where he began designing snowmobile wraps out of his garage. At the time, he could not find anyone who could create the kind of design work he was looking for, so he decided to do it himself.

That decision turned into something much bigger.

After installing his own wrap, more and more people began asking Barrett to design for them too. Within a couple of months, he was offered a job as lead artist for a company called Toyskinz in Idaho Falls. That opportunity became the launchpad for his career in off-road graphics.

A few years later, Barrett started his own company, and he has been growing and innovating ever since.

What Makes BHD Wraps Different

In a community full of custom builds and one-of-a-kind rides, Barrett has found a way to separate BHD Wraps from the crowd.

According to Barrett, his company is the only one live-designing custom wraps in video calls alongside the client. That means riders do not have to wait and hope the final design matches what they had in mind. They get to see it happen, give feedback, and be part of the process from the start.

On top of that, BHD Wraps can also 3D render machines with the wrap installed, creating next-level concept art that helps riders visualize the finished build before the first piece is ever applied.

That combination of design talent, innovation, and customer interaction is a big part of why Barrett has earned attention in the off-road scene.

“We are proud to say we strive to provide the absolute best quality customer service and interaction possible and treat every machine like it’s our own,” Barrett shared.

That mindset matters in a community where machines are more than toys. They are personal. They represent hard work, creativity, and the lifestyle riders love.

Inspired by the Ride

When asked about his favorite place to ride, Barrett pointed back to Whistler, BC.

It is easy to understand why.

For Barrett, Whistler stands out because of its high elevation, unbelievable views, and the incredible variety of trails throughout the Sea to Sky corridor. It is the kind of place that leaves an impression on any rider, and clearly one that helped shape his passion for both machines and design.

A Tip From Barrett for Riders

Barrett also shared a tip that riders might want to remember the next time they are lined up for a jump:

When you’re hitting jumps, giving an extra 30% throttle off the lip will stop the nose dive.

That kind of advice only comes from someone who lives the lifestyle, not just someone designing from behind a screen.

Pushing the Limits of Design

This riding season, Barrett is most excited about finding new areas to ride and continuing to push the limits of design.

And he is not stopping with wraps.

He shared that BHD Wraps is currently working on bringing those custom designs into 3D animation, opening the door to an entirely new level of concept art for the off-road world. It is the kind of forward-thinking creativity that keeps brands relevant and keeps customers excited about what is next.

Barrett also made a point to thank the people who have supported him along the way.

“We want to thank everyone for their support for the past few years. Thanks to that support, we are able to continue bringing new innovation to the off-road graphics and wrap game.”

Built for the Bog

At Where2Mud, we love highlighting the people who make this community more creative, more exciting, and more connected. Barrett Hepburn is doing exactly that.

He is not just designing wraps. He is helping riders turn their ideas into reality, helping machines stand out, and raising the bar for what custom off-road graphics can be.

From humble beginnings in a garage to building dream machines for riders across the community, Barrett’s journey is a reminder that the off-road world is built by people willing to create something different.

When it comes to bringing a machine to life, Barrett Hepburn is proving that great design belongs in the mud too.

If you’ve spent time at major mud events, there’s a good chance you’ve seen Dirt Road Syndicate and owner Doug Fryar right in the middle of the action. Based in Perry, Georgia, by way of Clinton, North Carolina, Doug has become a familiar and trusted name in the off-road world by showing up for riders with the gear, apparel, and custom merch they need.

From Gator Waders to custom T-shirts, banners, tents, flags, Syndicate Sacks, sound, lighting, and promotional items, Dirt Road Syndicate has built a reputation for helping the mud community look good, stay ready, and represent their crews, businesses, and brands.

Dirt Road Syndicate’s Role in the Mud Community

Dirt Road Syndicate offers a wide range of products for the off-road and mudding lifestyle, including:

• Mobile Gator Waders sales

• Off-road apparel and merch

• Custom T-shirt designs

• Sound and lighting products

• Syndicate Sacks

• Custom banners, tents, and flags

• Promotional items for businesses and groups

Doug is known for being the guy who comes through when riders need something fast, especially at major ride weekends and mud events. As one of the largest mobile off-road Gator Waders dealers, he has built Dirt Road Syndicate into a dependable resource for the community.

How Doug Fryar Got Started

Doug got started in the industry by helping organize merchandise for Off-Road Hooligans. That experience opened the door to something bigger. Over time, he turned that early involvement into a business that serves both individual riders and off-road brands across the community.

What began with merchandise support grew into a respected name in the mud world. Today, Dirt Road Syndicate is a regular presence at many of the biggest events, helping riders and businesses with quality products and custom branding.

What Makes Dirt Road Syndicate Unique

Doug says what sets Dirt Road Syndicate apart is simple:

“I try to listen to customers so can provide better products and service.”

That approach matters in the mud community. Riders want gear that works, merch that feels authentic, and service from someone who understands the lifestyle. Doug has built his brand around listening, showing up, and delivering what people actually want.

A Trusted Name at Major Mud Events

Doug Fryar has been supporting the mud community for many years, and his long-standing presence at major events has made Dirt Road Syndicate a well-known name among off-road enthusiasts.

Whether he is helping someone grab a pair of Gator Waders, creating custom apparel for a ride group, or producing promotional items for another business, Doug stays connected to the people and culture that make this industry what it is.

And if you see an RV with two little dogs on the dash, you’ve probably found Doug.

Favorite Place to Ride

Doug’s favorite place to ride is West Virginia, and for good reason. He loves the variety of terrain and the ability to ride for several days without covering the same ground twice. For off-road riders who want a full adventure, it is one of his top picks.

Doug’s Advice for Riders

Doug’s advice for both new and experienced riders is something the whole community can stand behind:

Be respectful to other riders and the land we have to enjoy.

That kind of respect helps protect the future of off-roading and keeps the mud community strong.

What Doug Fryar Is Looking Forward to This Season

When asked what he is most excited about this riding season, Doug’s answer says a lot about who he is:

Seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

That sums up the heart of the mud community. Dirt Road Syndicate is about more than apparel and products. It is about relationships, shared experiences, and showing up weekend after weekend for the people who make this culture special.

Featured Quote

“I am a farmer.”

Simple, honest, and straight to the point, just like Doug.

Built for the Bog Final Take

Others are the event.

If you’ve ever heard a megaphone cut through the chaos yelling “LET’S GET LOUD!”—there’s a good chance you’ve already met K-Bo Mouth of the South. And if you’ve seen bold, unapologetic gear that looks like it was born in the pits instead of a boardroom, you’ve definitely seen Trashy INC.

K-Bo Mathews doesn’t just participate in the off-road world—she amplifies it.

What She Brings to the Mudding Community

K-Bo brings the voice.
Trashy INC brings the uniform.
Together, she brings the culture.

K-Bo delivers high-energy MC work, hype that shakes the grandstands, and a strong female presence in a sport that remains heavily male-dominated. Trashy INC gives riders something to wear that actually matches how they live—bold, colorful, loud, and real.

K-Bo doesn’t just sell shirts.
She represents a tribe.

Through K-Bo Mouth of the South and Trashy INC, she offers authentic cultural representation of modern off-road life. Her brand resonates deeply with a loyal, high-spending mudding community because it is personality-driven, emotionally connected, and built from lived experience.

How It All Started

Like most great things in the mud world—it started as a joke.

K-Bo was at an event listening to an MC repeatedly yell “EXXXXTREME” when she casually commented that she could do better. A few months later, Battle of the Builds approached her about MC’ing an event. She said yes—and the rest is history.

Trashy INC came to life just as organically. While having a drink with her husband Trey, he grabbed a napkin and started writing and drawing. A conversation followed about how everyone is a little trashy in their own way. From that moment, the idea grew into a brand rooted in authenticity and self-expression.

What Makes K-Bo Unique

K-Bo doesn’t just show up—she participates.

She isn’t only behind a booth or holding a mic (even though she loves that part). She is bounty racing, covered in mud, part of the chaos, and fully involved in the action. Trashy INC reflects that same mindset. The brand is not polished or corporate—it is real, bold, colorful, and built from the culture itself.

K-Bo doesn’t market to the mudding world.
She lives in it.

Favorite Place to Ride

When asked to name her favorite place to ride, K-Bo doesn’t hesitate:

River Run.

It may not be the closest park, but it is home.

River Run offers trails for everyone—from stock bikes to big-tire monsters—along with food vendors, a general store for forgotten essentials, and cabins for full-weekend stays.

But the real reason River Run stands out is the people.

K-Bo says riders are treated like family the moment they roll through the gate. Security and medics are always on-site, safety is prioritized, and the park stays clean no matter how wild the weekend gets.

“It’s not just a place to ride—it’s a place to belong.”

One Tip for Riders

K-Bo’s biggest advice applies to every skill level:

Don’t just ride—plug into the community.

She encourages riders to introduce themselves on the trails, shake hands, make friends, and support vendors and races. The racers and builders show up to put on a show, and K-Bo believes the community should show up just as hard in return.

Be loud. Cheer them on. Be part of the energy.

Words to Live By

K-Bo lives by a mindset that matches her presence:

“Be bold enough to stand out, loud enough to be heard, and brave enough to send it home in a box.”

Another phrase she is known for around the pits:

“Around here, we ‘Just F#ckin Send It.’”

And every MC event begins the same way:

“LET’S GET LOUD!”

What She’s Excited About This Season

This riding season is all about growth and momentum.

K-Bo is taking her voice and brand on the road—traveling to multiple states, attending Mud Nationals in March, the Powersports Expo in May, MC’ing new events, lining up for Bounty Course twice, and representing new sponsors.

For K-Bo, there’s nothing better than loading up, crossing state lines, meeting new racers and fans, and bringing the energy everywhere she goes.

More Than a Brand—It’s Her Family’s Life

What many people don’t realize is that this isn’t just a brand—it’s K-Bo’s family’s life.

She is married to Trey, the man behind Tier1 Fab, who has nearly 20 years in the industry building custom buggies featured on Discovery Channel, Mud Nationals, and Cruising the Coast. With a little luck, one of his builds will make it to SEMA one day.

K-Bo is also raising two children:

• Jolene (4½)

• Atlas (2)

Her world is part mud park, part bedtime stories.

Beyond the mud, K-Bo is a nurse by trade and currently serves as Vice President of Business Development for Home Instead. During the week she leads teams and builds businesses. On the weekends she is either in the mud with a mic or strapped into a harness.

K-Bo doesn’t fake this lifestyle.
She balances it.

Final Word

K-Bo leaves readers with this reminder:

“Don’t sit on the sidelines of your own life.”

K-Bo Mouth of the South started with a joking comment and turned it into a megaphone, a buggy, a brand, and a community. She proves that you don’t have to look the part or fit the mold.

You just have to show up, be yourself, and send it.

That is what makes K-Bo Mouth of the South and Trashy INC truly Built for the Bog.

If you’ve ever been parked at a mud pit with engines cooling, friends laughing, and music rattling tailgates, you already understand the vibe behind Country Rap Throwdown.

What started as a last-minute show has grown into a full-blown tour built for riders, families, and the off-road lifestyle. And on March 7, the Country Rap Throwdown Tour 2026 officially kicks off at River Neck Acres, setting the tone for a season that’s about more than concerts — it’s about community.

A Full Weekend, Not Just a Show

Country Rap Throwdown was created with one clear goal: bring everything the mudding community loves into one place.

That means:

• Trail riding and mud pits during the day

• Hanging out with your people all weekend

• Live performances from OGs in the country rap scene

• A family-friendly environment where everyone feels welcome

As the Throwdown Team puts it, the focus has always been on creating a full weekend experience built around the off-road lifestyle — a space where families can ride, relax, and enjoy the park together while feeling part of something bigger than a single show.

Whether you roll in with a truck, SXS, or ATV, the Throwdown isn’t about what you drive. It’s about showing up and being part of the scene.

From One Night to a Nationwide Tour

Country Rap Throwdown began in 2025 with a last-minute event at River Neck Acres, featuring heavy hitters like Demun Jones, Moccasin Creek, Bottleneck, D-Thrash of the Jawga Boyz, and DJ Cannon Banyon.

Even with minimal promotion, the turnout exceeded expectations — proof that the mud community was ready for an experience that blended riding, music, and connection.

That momentum led to the launch of the Country Rap Throwdown Tour 2026, backed by Innovative Talent Agency and featuring:

• The Lacs

• Demun Jones

• Moccasin Creek

• Bottleneck

• 6B.Low

• DJ Cannon Banyon

• Special appearances by D-Thrash of the Jawga Boyz

It’s a lineup that feels right at home echoing across open fields and muddy trails.

Built With the Parks, Not Dropped On Them

What truly sets Country Rap Throwdown apart is how they work with off-road parks — not just inside them.

The Throwdown Team collaborates directly with park owners to build weekends that make sense for riders, families, and staff. The goal is always to improve the experience year after year, making sure everyone leaves wanting to come back.

This isn’t a pop-in concert series. It’s a partnership with the parks and the people who ride them.

Why River Neck Acres Is the Perfect Kickoff

There’s no better place to launch the Country Rap Throwdown Tour than River Neck Acres — the park where it all started.

With wide-open riding areas, deep mud, and a rider-first atmosphere, River Neck Acres offers the space and freedom needed to deliver a true Throwdown weekend. From daytime riding to nighttime shows, the park allows the experience to unfold naturally, without feeling rushed.

River Neck Acres isn’t just a stop on the tour — it’s part of the Throwdown story, setting the standard for what the rest of the season will bring.

Giving Back Where the Mud Meets the Community

A portion of Country Rap Throwdown’s event proceeds and sponsorships goes toward supporting local school districts and child meal programs in the communities that host each stop.

So while riders are cutting trails and crowds are singing along, real support is flowing back into the towns that open their gates.

That balance — fun with purpose — is what makes this tour stand out.

Rider Tip from the Throwdown Crew

“When in doubt, always have someone ready to pull you out.”

Simple. Smart. And spoken like people who’ve been stuck before.

Why This Season Matters

Looking ahead, the Throwdown Team is most excited about getting back into the parks and giving people something to look forward to all weekend — not just a few hours under stage lights.

Being able to create memorable experiences, bring people together, and give back to the communities that host each event is what makes this season special. And while some surprises are still under wraps, one thing is clear — this tour is just getting started.

Why River Neck Acres Is the Perfect Place to Kick Off the Throwdown

There’s no better place to launch the Country Rap Throwdown Tour than River Neck Acres — the same park where it all started.

Known for its wide-open riding areas, deep mud, and rider-first atmosphere, River Neck Acres delivers the kind of space that lets a weekend like this breathe. From day riding and pit hangs to nighttime shows under the lights, the park offers the freedom to ride hard, relax, and enjoy the full experience without feeling rushed.

River Neck Acres isn’t just a venue — it’s part of the Throwdown story. The energy, the crowd, and the mud all played a role in turning that first 2025 event into something bigger, paving the way for the 2026 tour.

If you’re looking for a park where:

• You can ride all day

• Park it with friends

• Enjoy live country rap at night

• And wake up ready to do it all over again

This is it.

The Throwdown is coming home to River Neck Acres — and it’s setting the tone for the entire season.

Welcome to the Throwdown

“Whether you show up in a truck, SXS, or ATV — this is your home for the weekend. Welcome to the Throwdown.”

The Country Rap Throwdown Tour starts March 7 at River Neck Acres, and if your idea of a perfect weekend includes mud, music, and community, this one is built for you.

If you’ve ever pulled into a mud park and thought, “Why does all off-road gear feel like it was made without women in mind?” — Erin Pantalone had the same thought… and then turned it into a brand.

Branded Heifer Hat Co (BHHC) is shaking up the off-road and SxS scene with loud, unapologetic, unhinged gear made for riders who send it hard, break things occasionally, and wear every mud splatter like a badge of honor.

Built by a Rider, Not an Outsider

Based in Angleton, Texas, Erin Pantalone isn’t just the owner of Branded Heifer Hat Co — she’s part of the lifestyle.

Mud parks are her favorite weekend escape (second only to fishing), her kid’s races, but riding isn’t a hobby — it’s a way of life. This world was already home long before BHHC existed.

When custom hat bars started taking off, Erin noticed something missing. There was plenty of gear… just not much that spoke to the off-road and SxS community — and almost nothing designed with women in mind.

So she did what Built for the Bog women do best:
She created what didn’t exist.

What Branded Heifer Hat Co Brings to the Mudding Community

BHHC delivers custom-designed, attitude-filled gear centered around the off-road lifestyle. Think bold designs, zero boring vibes, and plenty of personality for anyone who sends it, breaks it, and calls that a good day.

What makes Branded Heifer Hat Co different is authenticity. Erin isn’t designing from the outside looking in — she’s creating gear for the weekends she actually lives.

And while the industry is packed with options for men, Erin saw a gap for women who wanted gear that felt just as bold, expressive, and unfiltered as they are. BHHC fills that space with creativity, confidence, and chaos — in the best way.

Favorite Place to Ride: Sabine ATV Park

Ask Erin where she loves to ride, and there’s no hesitation:

Sabine ATV Park. No question.

It’s close to home, the people are solid, and the river is one of her favorite places to hang out. On top of that, the upgrades being made at Sabine just keep getting better — making it a park she’s proud to support and return to again and again.

One Tip for New and Experienced Riders

Whether you’re brand new to mud parks or have years behind the wheel, Erin keeps it simple:

“Don’t be afraid to ask to tag along.”

Rolling with a group keeps riding safer, more fun, and dramatically reduces those “well… that was a bad idea” moments. Plus, the off-road community is one of the most welcoming groups of people you’ll ever meet.

The Quote That Says It All

If you’ve seen Branded Heifer Hat Co around the park, you’ve probably heard the phrase that sums it all up:

“It’ll Buff!”

Mud happens. Scratches happen. Gear gets wrecked.
That’s part of the ride — and part of the story.

What’s Coming This Riding Season

This riding season is packed with events Erin is genuinely excited about, including:

• River Run

• WTF Off-Road Bounty Course – Rats Event

• PowerSportsExpo (July) – Erin’s first appearance

• Lost Riders Back to School Event at Sabine (July)

Each of these events is run by incredible people she’s proud to call friends. Erin credits Randi — who invited BHHC to its very first event in Alabama — as one of her biggest supporters from the very beginning. These aren’t just events on a calendar; they’re relationships built through the mud.

Why Branded Heifer Hat Co Is Built for the Bog

Branded Heifer Hat Co represents what the off-road and mudding community does best — real people, real connection, and gear built by someone who actually lives it.

If you’re looking for off-road apparel with attitude, authenticity, and zero apology, BHHC delivers.

Artist Spotlight | Country Rap | Off-Road Culture | Where2Mud

When it comes to artists who truly live the mud lifestyle, 6B.Low isn’t just showing up — he’s helping build the scene.

Based out of Knoxville, Tennessee, 6B.Low (Brandon Lowe) has become a recognizable name at mud parks, bogs, and off-road events across the country. His music, performances, and partnerships are deeply rooted in the off-road community, blending country rap and mud culture into an experience that feels authentic to riders, park owners, and fans alike.

This isn’t an artist borrowing the culture — this is someone who’s been in it his whole life.

Who Is 6B.Low?

Artist Name: 6B.Low
Real Name: Brandon Lowe
Location: Knoxville, TN
Website & Socials: https://linktr.ee/6B.Low

6B.Low is a country rap artist known for high-energy performances built around mud parks, trucks, side-by-sides, and off-road events. His music is designed for loud speakers, muddy tires, and long weekends spent riding with friends.

More than that, he’s become a connector — using his platform to shine a light on parks, brands, and the people who keep the mud scene alive.

More Than Music: What 6B.Low Brings to the Off-Road Community

“I don’t just show up to the mud scene to perform. I’m part of it.”

That statement defines everything 6B.Low does.

He offers:

• Representation for riders and off-road culture in the music world

• High-energy performances built specifically for mud parks and off-road events

• Promotion for parks, brands, and events through real engagement — not just name drops

• Content that actually resonates with riders because it’s created by one of their own

His focus is simple but powerful: build the scene instead of just benefiting from it.

How It All Started

Mudding wasn’t a trend for 6B.Low — it was part of his upbringing.

Growing up, he spent weekends riding, attending bogs, and being immersed in the culture long before music tours entered the picture. Early on, he began performing at smaller, local mud events while still riding alongside everyone else.

What’s changed over time is the scale.

Those local performances grew into something much bigger: The Country Rap Throwdown Tour, a nationwide collaboration that brings together OGs of the country rap genre and the off-road community under one muddy banner.

What Makes 6B.Low Different in the Mudding World

What sets 6B.Low apart is his ability to operate on both sides of the fence.

He understands:

• The off-road lifestyle and park culture

• The entertainment and business side of music

• How to create partnerships that benefit parks, riders, and brands — not just the artist

Rather than being a guest at events, he’s helping design them, promote them, and grow them. His long-term vision is about scaling the mud scene while keeping it authentic.

Favorite Place to Ride

Hog Waller Mud Bog – Central Florida

Hog Waller holds a special place for 6B.Low. Growing up in Central Florida, it was a regular stop — the kind of place where memories are made over long weekends, late nights, and plenty of mud.

“It’s one of those places that feels like home when you pull in.”

Advice for Riders: New or Experienced

One piece of advice 6B.Low is quick to share:

“Don’t be reckless just to look tough. Take care of your rig, respect the park rules, and look out for the people around you.”

It’s a reminder that real respect in the mudding community comes from how you treat your equipment, the park, and the people riding next to you.

Quote to Remember

“The mud scene isn’t just a place to ride… It’s where a lot of us go to feel alive again. That’s why I’m here for it, and why I’m building with it.”

What’s Coming Up This Riding Season

This season is shaping up to be a big one for 6B.Low and the off-road community.

Highlights include:

• The Country Rap Throwdown Tour, bringing music and mud parks together across the country

• A music video shoot on March 14th at Holler Bash, expected to be one of the wildest events of the season

• The release of a new single, “Big Truck Energy (How We Ride)”, dropping February 20th

Behind the scenes, he’s also working on new business ventures and creative projects aimed at expanding the reach of country rap and off-road culture even further.

Why 6B.Low Matters to the Mud Scene

Artists like 6B.Low are helping push the off-road world forward — not by changing it, but by amplifying it.

By combining music, mud parks, and authentic storytelling, he’s creating moments that riders remember long after the weekend ends. That’s the kind of energy that keeps this community growing.

And that’s exactly why Where2Mud is proud to spotlight artists who don’t just ride the wave — they help build it.

From full custom builds to sourcing lift kits, tires, wheels, and accessories, A1 AutoPlex LLC is a trusted resource for serious riders.

A Passion for Off-Road Builds That Started Young

Allen’s journey into the off-road and mudding world began at a young age. What started as childhood curiosity quickly turned into hands-on experience with machines, modifications, and terrain-specific setups.

That passion grew into a business focused on helping riders bring their vision to life—whether that means building from the ground up or upgrading an existing side-by-side for mud parks and trail riding.

One-Off Side-by-Side Builds That Set Riders Apart

What makes Allen Weldon unique in the mudding community is his commitment to custom, one-of-a-kind builds. Allen doesn’t believe in cookie-cutter setups. Each build is designed to reflect the rider’s personality and riding style while being functional in real-world mud conditions.

“We like to think our builds are unique and one-off.”
— Allen Weldon, Owner of A1 AutoPlex LLC

From stance and suspension to wheels and tires, every detail is selected with intention—resulting in side-by-sides that turn heads and perform when it matters most.

• Side-by-side lift kits

• UTV tires and wheels

• Off-road accessories

• Performance-focused upgrades for mud riding

Allen works directly with riders to ensure their setups match their terrain, riding goals, and experience level—eliminating guesswork and costly mistakes.

Favorite Mud Riding Spot: Boggs & Boulders

When it comes to riding, Allen’s top choice is Boggs & Boulders Off-Road Park.

Known for its challenging terrain and diverse riding conditions, Boggs & Boulders is a true test for both riders and machines. It’s also the perfect environment to showcase the durability and performance of a well-built side-by-side.

Advice for New and Experienced Riders

Allen keeps his advice simple and universal for anyone in the off-road community:

Be safe. Have fun.

It’s a reminder that no matter how extreme the build or the terrain, enjoying the ride and riding responsibly always comes first.

What’s Coming This Riding Season

Allen is looking forward to some of the biggest off-road events of the year, including:

• Mud Bash at Busco Beach

• Anything at Boggs

These events bring together top builders, riders, and machines—making them the ideal stage for showcasing unique side-by-side builds.
