Ben and I started DirtRoadTrip with nothing but a great idea and a handshake. Now 2 years later we’ve published over 290 posts and covered over 100,000 miles between the two of us.
2015 has been a great year for all of us here at DirtRoadTrip and the site has seen exponential growth. This year alone we’ve produced and published over 150 posts ranging from trip reports to detailed DIY write ups. We’ve also seen site traffic continue to grow and are now averaging over 20,000 unique visitors a month!
All of this wouldn’t be possible without out great team of contributors, partners, and sponsors. Our contributors this year included Jason Grogg, Mark Farage, Rich LaRusso, Hugo Guzman, David Hopewell, Manie Van Der Schijff, Brian Hoyt, Vince Broady, Nathan Duke, and Taylor Jones.
It’s also been a great year of new partnerships, which have included Forge Specialties, Cooper Tire, Blue Ridge Overland Gear, Adventure Trailers, Uwharrie Off-Road Training Center, the International 4-Wheel Drive Trainers Association, RinseKit, and numerous other groups, brands, and organizations.
Yet it’s also been a big year full of changes, Vermont Overland went private, Red Cloud off-road closed their doors, and most importantly, Ben and I finally got around to marrying our long term girlfriends. Most people will agree when we say we have the most understanding wives in the world, not only do they continue to let us take off for days at a time to places unknown, but they’re always ready to jump in the truck for the next adventure.
I hope all of you have enjoyed reading our posts over the past 12 months, DirtRoadTrip is a labor of love for Ben and I, and knowing that so many of you continue to come back for more is why we keep the site going. Thank you all for your continuous support and contributions, have fun hitting the dirt in 2016!
