Brandon Barberena

Brandon Barberena grew up in the back seat of various 4x4's his Dad owned and could shift a CJ7 into 4low before he knew how to walk. After building up his first Jeep at 15 years old, he spent all his free time on the trails of beautiful Southern California. Currently, he works as a Telecommunication's technician by day and an Off-Road driving instructor on the weekends. Most say he has a GPS built in his head for the trails in the San Bernardino National Forest and enjoys tackling the toughest trails he can find. Not only an avid 4wheeler, but also a talented fabricator and mechanic. If he is not 4wheeling then he is most certainly found in his shop working on either his or someone else's project. Today, he can be found piloting a 1989 XJ equipped with 5" of lift, 35" Falken WildPeaks wrapped around Raceline Beadlocks. Aussie Lockers, and a trusty Warn M8000 that has seen 10 years of trail use and has graced the bumpers of 7 different Jeeps. And he most recently acquired a 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4x that will be built up and trail ready soon.
