About this episode

JD Marshall interviews Ryan Stoangi about durable Jeep accessories and the importance of supporting the off-road community.

JD sits down with Ryan Stoangi of Combat Off Road to talk about how more than 20 years of building Jeeps and working in off-road retail led him to start making his own parts. Ryan breaks down Combat’s focus on durable, repairable Jeep accessories, including their hood latches, armored taillights, fenders, and inner fenders, and why he believes in sticking to what the company does well. They also talk about choosing quality parts, supporting local 4x4 shops, and figuring out what you actually want from your Jeep before spending thousands building it. Plus, Ryan and JD take on gatekeeping in the off-road community and why helping new wheelers learn is important to keeping the sport growing. 📍 Trails and Destinations Sand Hollow State Park, Utah Double Sammy, Utah Moab Area Trails, Utah 🛠️ Gear and Tools Combat Off Road Off-the-Turnbuckle Hood Latches ( Combat Off Road ) Combat Off Road Tail Gunner Tail Lights ( Combat Off Road ) Combat Off Road Full Assault Aluminum Fenders ( Combat Off Road ) Combat Off Road Max Flow Front Inner Fender Liners ( Combat Off Road ) Combat Off Road MORF Rear Inner Fender Liners ( Combat Off Road ) Rock Krawler Long-Arm Suspension Systems ( Rock…
