Dirt Every Day season 9 episode 104, titled "Trail-Built Truck (Built on the Trail!)" follows the host, Fred Williams, as he sets out to build a Jeep trail rig. In this episode, Fred explains how he wants to build a rig that is capable of tackling the toughest trails, but is also comfortable enough to drive on the street.

To begin the build, Fred and his team start with a 1981 Jeep Scrambler that they found on Craigslist. The Jeep is in rough shape, but Fred sees potential in it. He explains that he wants to use the trail as a way to build the truck, meaning that he will only use parts and tools that he can take on the trail with him.

The first step in the build is to get the Jeep running so that Fred can use it to go on a test trail ride. The team installs a new carburetor, fuel lines, and a fuel pump. They also replace some of the wiring in the Jeep to make sure that everything is working properly. With the Jeep running, Fred takes it out on a test trail ride to see what needs to be done to make it more capable.

When Fred returns from the test trail ride, he decides that the Jeep needs a lift and some larger tires. He installs a suspension lift and puts on some 35-inch tires. He also upgrades the brakes to ensure that the Jeep can stop when it needs to.

With the Jeep lifted and the larger tires installed, Fred takes it out on another test trail ride. This time, he finds that the Jeep is more capable but still needs some work. He decides to install a winch, a roll cage, and some lockers in the front and rear differentials.

The team works through the night to install the winch, roll cage, and lockers, and by morning, they are ready to take the Jeep out on yet another test trail ride. This time, Fred is impressed with how capable the Jeep is and how comfortable it is to drive.

Fred and his team continue to make modifications to the Jeep, including installing skid plates, a custom exhaust, and upgrading the lighting. Throughout the episode, Fred explains the reasoning behind each modification and how it will make the Jeep more capable on the trail.

In the end, Fred and his team have built a capable and comfortable Jeep trail rig that they are excited to take out on the trail. The episode ends with Fred taking the Jeep out for a final test trail ride and showing off some of its capabilities.

Overall, "Trail-Built Truck (Built on the Trail!)" is an informative and exciting episode of Dirt Every Day that showcases the process of building a capable trail rig from start to finish. Fred's enthusiasm and expertise shine through as he explains each modification and shows off the Jeep's capabilities on the trail.
