She Built Rebelle — Then Can’t Race It | Emily Miller

Video Description from YouTube:

Emily Off-Road joins the Jeep Talk Show to talk about founding the Rebel Rally, why a long women’s-only endurance event had to be bold and raw, and how course design, strategy, and firsthand competition shape every mile. She explains the third-day breaking point, why she skipped a saturated men’s racing space, and how rented stock Wranglers helped prove unmodified Jeeps can succeed. Hear about her Morocco CARTA run, mini expeditions, the Trinity Road Rally, and why a Jeep Rubicon still wins the campfire “do-it-all” vote.
