Hello ModernJeepers, Matson from Metalcloak here, welcome to Episode 247 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Maybe it's just a coincidence that the same month that Slim Shady reappears on the music feed, Corey, Jessy and Matson are back... (Sing it: Guess who’s back, Guess, who’s back, Da Na Na”)

Well kinda.

Yes, it has been a long 6 months, but we had a special opportunity to record another episode and here it is.

We will talk about that, and about a lot of other news from the last six months including the recent passing of the Mother Ducker, Allison Parliament, the Artemis Rally, Metalcloak's acquisition of Carbon Axles and the upcoming Metalcloak Stampede.

We are incredibly grateful for this episode to our supporters and friends including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Nacho Lighting, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios, Adventure Rack Systems and, of course, Metalcloak.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 246 of The ModernJeeper Show…

This is our Annual Roundtable Episode where we bring together some of our great friends in the off road industry and discuss the past, present and future of our sport and what it means for you, the ModernJeeper.

Corey, Jessy and Matson are joined this year by Dennis Wood of Teraflex, John Herrick of Crawl Magazine, and Larry McCrae of Zion Jeep Tours.

We discuss the massive amount of acquisitions that continued in 2023 and what we expect to see in 2024, whether or not the consolidation of our industry is good for the off roading community, Jeep's sucky sales and marketing, how you all enjoyed events in 2023 and how that trend will continue into 2024 and what our big goals and expectations are for the new year.

Then we get a rather wet surprise visit from a Off Road Hall of Famer and Tread Lightly board member.

We are incredibly grateful for this episode to our supporters and friends including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Nacho Lighting, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios, Adventure Rack Systems and, of course, Metalcloak.

Hello ModernJeepers, Matson from Metalcloak here, welcome to Episode 237 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Corey & Jessy are lost somewhere in North America... honestly I don't know where they are. There is probably an update someplace, but I've been too busy to keep track.

So this week we are bringing back one of our original FLASHBACK episodes where I recorded a short conversation with various off road leaders during Off Road Expo 2015.

Having just returned from Off Road Expo this last weekend, it seemed appropriate to revisit one of my favorite interviews of all time... an interview with Ian Johnson, who, at that time, was still hosting his original show.

This was originally episode 14 of our nascent podcast, so there is no video, however you can checkout many of our other awesome episodes at youtube.com/modernjeeper

Corey & Jessy are down in the heart of Texas as they head cross country doing CTI Tour stops at some of their favorite Metalcloak Authorized Installers.

And I had a chance to share some very meaningful quotes about Professionalism and how it applies to all our lives.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 235 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Corey & Jessy have just wrapped up the MoParty and are heading onto more CTI Tour 2023 Stops, so Matson was lucky to catch them at a halfway decent hotel somewhere in the South.

They do a bit of wrap up on the MoParty Off Road Experience which featured the Metalcloak Corner Travel Index suspension testing system and our first Skillz Day East. What an awesome event this is going to grow into.

But then they dive into the release of the 2024 Jeep Gladiator... and boy do we have some opinions... can you guess what we think of it? We don't hold back.

They talk MoParty, of course, developing AI versions of yourself, everything they know about the New Gladiator (before they saw the announcement), Jeep's problem with gear swaps and out of round tubes, having great partners (Thank you Milestar), and how at every event the CTI Trailer proves Anti Rocks are Anti Flex.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 233 of The ModernJeeper Show…

This is another one of those "Sort Of" episodes... IE, a blast from the past, a long lost favorite, a simply a replay episode... Corey, Jessy & Matson were just too pre-occupied this week to record a new show, so they wanted to share this one from Episode 155, our interview of John Goodby, founder of Nor Cal Rock Racing.

Now, why John, you might ask?

Next weekend is the MoParty taking place in Bowling Green, Kentucky put on by Holly. John Goodby has been instrumental over the years in helping Holly to have an awesome off road presence at some of these events like LS Fest.

MoParty will feature the Off Road Experience which will include trail rides, the Metalcloak CTI Trailer and Metalcloak's Skillz Day off road training.

Anyway, enjoy this interview where we cover everything from the origins of Nor Cal Rock Racing to the domination of the Gomez Brothers and, of course, the world of Holly and LS Fest

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 227 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Corey & Jessy are back... kind of. I was able to catch them somewhere in the middle of Kansas as they were heading cross country from the PA All Breeds Show to Colorado's All-4-Fun.

We catch up on the last several weeks of events and activities... including the New Jersey Jeep Invasion and the dozen or so CTI Tour Stops they've done over the last 18,000 miles.

As usual, we get fairly random in the show including discussing Corey's post-surgery recovery, Jessy's new GoMammut aluminum tent, Jeepers Jamboree, the saga of the Locker Sensor problem on Funshine, revisiting SpiderWebShade, and what you do when confronted by a Ford Explorer going end over end on the freeway towards you.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 226 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Corey & Jessy are deep in the weather someplace back east and Matson’s been busy here at the shop making sure all our awesome Metalcloak customers are getting what they need and needing what they get.

So yes, the last couple weeks have been hard to settle down and get that podcast done.

But, since next week is Jeepers Jamboree, the grandaddy of them all, I thought it was a perfect time to revisit Episode 75, our visit with the man who makes Jeepers Jamboree happen, Bob Sweeney.

The episode was originally recorded in July of 2020, in the midst of the pandemic and the lockdowns.

Bob digs into why, despite everything and lots of community support, they decided to cancel Jeepers Jamboree this year [the first time in 67 years], how their County was threatened by California's Governor Newsom, how they get 800 Jeeps through this epic trail, why the Rubicon Trail depends on Jeepers Jamboree for it’s own survival, having incredible volunteers, the Jeep Jamboree Kids program called Camp Rubicon, what the history is between Jeepers Jamboree and Jeep Jamboree USA, and Going Ultra4.

This is an audio only episode, but you can watch many of our other episodes by visiting YouTube.com/modernjeeper

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 225 of the ModernJeeper Show... the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Freedom.

While Corey is recovering from his surgery, and in celebration of Independence Day, Matson decided to simply read the Declaration of Independence.

Reading that sacred document is a ritual Matson practices every 4th of July to remind himself of the real purpose of that day, the real reason we are celebrating.

He thought you might enjoy it as well.

Corey & Jessy are back at the ModernJeeper Compound on the Western Slope of Colorado after something like 65 days and 8000 miles on the road... Yet there is no rest for the weary as we dive right into a full recap of their adventures including the now famous Artemis Rally.

Jessy's co-dawg in the rally was friend of the show Alicia Diggs of Jeepers Den fame... yes, we've had her hubby Rickie on the show a couple times, but we all know who really runs the shop.

Jessy and Alicia recount the incredible competition, the amazing camaraderie, the flubs and fumbles, the wins and wonderfuls and all the crazy antics that went into the first ever Artemis Rally... and whether or not they will ever do it again.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 223 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Corey & Jessy are lost somewhere in the Midwest so Matson brought on John Larson, Chairman of Cantina for the Con 2023 to talk XJ’s, the current conditions of the Rubicon, Tiki Culture, and why it shouldn’t be hard to keep poop in the toilet.

John also teases us with the long list of raffle prizes at this year’s Cantina for the Con coming July 1 to Robbs Resort. Over $25,000 worth of goods for your Jeep, Bronco and even a classic Scout.

As a bonus, we even get John’s take (who is a classic Scout enthusiast) on Volkswagen’s new Scout.

Corey & Jessy have taken a quick pause to join us from the late Loretta Lynn's ranch deep in the heart of Tennessee.

There was so much to catch up with and so much more to talk about, we barely scratched the surface, but we tried.

From the Sunflower Run to the Cantina Pre Party; from fixing leaks on the Ram to Jeep’s 5 sensor solution to the Locker problem; from class action lawsuits to the new champion Denver Nuggets... and we wrap it all up with a couple new toys Matson has been playing with... one for the office, one for the home.

Hello ModernJeepers, Matson from Metalcloak here and welcome to Episode 221 of The ModernJeeper Show… (sort of)

Since Corey & Jessy have ditched me once again while galavanting across this great nation, I decided to bring back Episode 47 of the Modern Jeeper Show. It is always fun to bring back these old episodes to a new audience.

This one is particularly interesting because it was the first episode of 2020, before all the craziness... and when we still thought that 2020 was going to be the year of Vision and Focus.

Our guest during this episode is Scott Arentz. Scott is a master builder, brilliant mechanic and co-owner of Cloakworks 4x4, one of the region's top 4x4 build shops. At the time Cloakworks was located inside Metalcloak world headquarters, now they have their own large facility in Placerville, California, just 20 minutes from us.

Scott talks master builds, the Rubicon, Fordyce, snow wheeling and how a when a rock met a tire, it very well might have saved his life.

Since this pod was recorded only in audio, there is no video to watch, but it is still uploaded at YouTube.com/modernjeeper for those who like to listen to it there.

As always, we are incredibly grateful for this episode to our supporters and friends including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios, Nacho Lighting, Adventure Rack Systems, and of course, Metalcloak.

Now, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode 221 (sort of) of The ModernJeeper Show.

Hello ModernJeepers, Matson from MetalCloak here and welcome to Episode 220 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Corey & Jessy are deep within the Artemis Rally this week, so I am joined by Naval Officer, Photojournalist, Entrepreneur, Outdoor Enthusiast and ModernJeeper Ryan Kledzik, aka Ryan Utah.

As is usual for an episode of ModernJeeper we stumble all over the place in this conversation... from rescuing his best friend out of Italy to wheeling in Southern California... from the power of the American Military to designing his first Jeep product...

And why it is important in all aspects of life, politics, public lands and public debate to Control the Narrative.

Ryan also shares with us his favorite trail in Moab (probably not one you would guess) and his number one bucket list trail... which we may be able to help out with later this year.

Corey & Jessy are at the Colorado Compound for a 48 hour respite before charging over to Moab for our last ModernJeeper Adventure (don't despair, the new adventures are coming soon).

We open this episode with Corey's Near Death Experience... thank you United.

Then we dive into making the Bronco better (is it possible?), Jeep's Electric Society, the continued Loss of Knowledge, and the death of Off Road Journalism.

We talk about the incredible response to last week's episode on the demise of Transamerican Auto Parts and their once popular house brands. We discuss many of the comments we received from you, our amazing listeners... some good, some bad, some truly enlightening.

We also dive into counting 30,000 Jeeps at Jeep Beach, upcoming events, surviving the heat, visiting jobbers across the country and Jessy’s prep for the upcoming Artemis Rally.

Hello ModernJeepers, Matson from MetalCloak here and welcome to Episode 216 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Corey & Jessy are taking a break somewhere in Florida where there is minimal, if any, signal... so, once again, it is just me and my guest.

This week I am excited to have Will Fowler of Venture2Roam, a fast growing YouTube channel that focuses primarily on all the amazing places to wheel, overland and explore in the great state of Idaho.

Will shares how he started his YouTube channel; why he chose to share Idaho's great treasures; getting death threats; Jeep shaming; thinking about the right way to build his next Jeep, a 392; why @Casey_250's Demonator is just wrong; how to overland for several days with two kids, a wife and a 4-door JK; being selective with your gear; tightly packing a small fridge; and the worst mod he has ever done.

Oh, and we talk about his next video… a very special gift for a very special friend. MetalCloak might have been involved in it too.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 215 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Corey & Jessy are still running across the country on CTI Tour 2023 and should be in Daytona for Jeep Beach by the time you hear this podcast.

So this week it's just Matson and his guest... three time King of the Hammers winner, Jeeper and friend of the show Jason Scherer.

We talk the Rubicon Trail, mountains of snow and when we will finally make it in, King of the Hammers and struggling to make 2nd Place, using CO2 to power your lockers instead of a compressor, building a $700,000 race car, and what it's like running a new car at KOH with selectable electronic suspension system. Yes, it has an Oh Shit button.

We also hit on the incredible KOH Edition Broncos, and why some say this is the Bronco that ford SHOULD HAVE made.

Hello ModernJeepers, Matson from Metalcloak here and welcome to Episode 214 of The ModernJeeper Show… Sort Of...

This is another Replay Episode... this time we are replaying episode 104, aptly titled "Living Your Dream".

Since Corey & Jessy are in the midst of CTI Tour 2023 which you can follow on Facebook or Instagram (link in the show notes), AND since you all enjoyed the Replay episode with Moab's Grandpa I posted a couple weeks ago, AND since Corey & Jessy are visiting Stomper Off Road this week... I thought it would be great the replay one of our most popular episodes... our interview with Jay Blazier of Stomper Off Road.

He shares a true confession about his first Jeep, making the leap from the corporate ladder to Jeep builder, building long term relationships, starting a shop on a shoestring budget, why JK’s are still the goto rig, how he didn’t wheel at all in 2020, his favorite areas to off road, parts availability, having a fleet of Jeeps, being part of the JT club, Overlanding vs Rock Crawling, then he answers our rapid fire questions… favorite trail, favorite mod under $500, and his dream license plate.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 212 of The ModernJeeper Show… Kinda...
Really this is a ModernJeeper Replay Episode... while the team is in Moab for Easter Jeep Safari, we wanted to share with you one of our personal favorite Episodes... Episode 13, our sit-down interview with Moab's (and Every Jeeper's) Grandpa Danny Grimes.
Originally recorded at the 2019 Easter Jeep Safari, Grandpa shares with us why he moved to Moab and how much it has changed over the years, how the famous and free Grandpa’s Garage was started, Grandpa’s rules of civility, favorite trails, favorite Jeeps, why they call the trails out here Slickrock, how not to be stupid on the trails, and why there is a pair of burned men’s underwear on the wall of the Garage.
And we even get a pop-in visit from one of our great friends and ModernJeeper partners.
Of course we have another great Tech Tip of the week directly from Grandpa’s experience with the thousands who have come through his bay doors… the number one failure of most off-roaders.
BTW, this episode was recorded before we started doing video, so while you can listen to it at YouTube.com/modernjeeper, the video is just a few cool pics of Grandpa's Garage for context.
As always, we are incredibly grateful for this episode to our supporters and friends including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Baja Designs, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios, Adventure Rack Systems and, of course, Metalcloak.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 211 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

It's just Corey & Matson today - RockStar Jeep girl is feeling a bit under the weather... speaking of weather... is the rain & snow ever going to stop? It is almost Springtime, isn't it?

This week we are honored to have ModernJeeper Allison Parliament on the show... she is best known by her friends as the Mother Ducker... or as we know her, the six foot tall redhead who single handedly started the Duck Duck Jeep international phenomenon.

Whether you love ducks or can't stand them (how could you possible not like rubber duckies?) this is a great story that is all about one person just wanting to spread some love and how so many have been inspired by her.

Allison shares how this all started as the result of COVID and a violent attack in Canada, how her life has changed, why she makes no money on this, how many ducks she currently has, and why she gets real, violent, threats from dumb-ass groups like Jeeps Against Ducks.

And we learn a few important things about proper Duck etiquette (is it okay to reduck?).

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 208 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Corey & Jessy are hosting an awesome group of Jeepers in Death Valley this week so I am going it solo... but with an awesome guest.

This week I have the pleasure of introducing to you ModernJeeper Kristie Knox, aka @tombraider_wrangler on the IG.

Kristie shares how she got the jeeping bug, what her first Jeep was, how that rig got her a 77 C3 Corvette, how she ended up with Tombraider Rubicon #51, her favorite trails, why she does what she does and how going West is number one on her bucket list.

We also touch on IG, being an influencer and why being a Jeep girl who wrenches her own junk is important.

Hello ModernJeepers, Matson from MetalCloak here and welcome to Episode 206 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Corey & Jessy are in the middle of a Western Slope snow storm while I'm sitting comfortably at MetalCloak world headquarters..

This week we are honored to have David Howell and Bill Kessler of one of the oldest and most exclusive off road clubs in the country, Southern California's Tierra Del Sol.

David and Bill share with us their history as Jeepers, why they joined TDS and why Tierra Del Sol Desert Safari is one of the country's best off road events ever.

With the 60th Anniversary of the Desert Safari coming up next week, we thought it was a perfect time to share with you it's history, it's growth, it's innovations, it's struggles, and it's future... and our guests do an incredible job painting the picture.

We get into the nitty gritty including why their permit was costing a staggering $50,000 for one event, how the powers that be made them responsible for tens of thousands of people that were not registered for their event and how COVID ultimately changed the event forever.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 205 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This has to be one of our favorite episodes ever... not to mention one of the longest.

Corey, Jessy and Matson have the distinct pleasure of having their dear friend, Shannon Welch on the show.

For 10 years Shannon was the heart and soul, the core machinery, keeping Hammerking Productions, producers of the King of the Hammers, going... for most of that time she was the only paid employee. But it wasn't about the money, which wasn't much, it was about the passion for the out doors, passion for the Hammers and the passion for the race community itself.

Shannon shares the journey that led her to quit a lucrative Orange County gig to join an underfunded crapshoot of an idea held once a year in the middle of nowhere; how Land Use played a role in that decision; how the battle to save the hammers was won; how she helped build the worldwide Ultra4 phenomena; how the Everyman Challenge really got it's name; how she landed on the board of the Blue Ribbon Coalition; how the BRC is the consigliere of the fight for land use; and why she never wheels during King of the Hammers.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 204 of The ModernJeeper Show…the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Jessy's back this week and we are joined by a couple incredible guests, Ted Cabral and Del Albright, both Land Use Warriors and board members, along with me, of PWORA, the Post Wildfire OHV Recovery Alliance (the W is silent).

Ted and Del share some of their own history on the Land Use battlefront and how PWORA is uniquely working to repair thousands of trails that have been closed or damaged by the ravages of California fires.

We learn about Master Agreements, Sustainable Recreation, what OHV Commissioners actually do, why more of us depend on OHV funds than you might think, and why Ted became a Certified Natural Chef.

Hello ModernJeepers, Matson from MetalCloak here and welcome to Episode 202 of The ModernJeeper Show…the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Corey & Jessy are back at the ModernJeeper Compound. I, of course, am joining them from MetalCloak World Headquarters in Northern California.

And we are joined this week by a VERY SPECIAL GUEST... West Virginia State Senator Mark R. Maynard.

This is an amazing episode, and it was such a pleasure to speak with the Senator We talk gas station living, old cars, driving lessons at 8, going from cars to 4x4's, when he finally figured out, he needed a Jeep, why he keeps the Scat pack in the garage and drives a Beemer to work, and what his favorite trail is and the Jeep that got him there.

Senator Maynard is also the Chairman of the newly formed Outdoor Recreation Committee and he has taken on that role with the same level of enthusiasm that we would expect from someone who used to work on Jim Heads Nitro Funny Car. From the Motorsports Responsibility Act to Allowing the Carry of Firearms onto State Property to Forestry Trail Access for the Disabled, he is taking on some of the great causes of our time.

And he is not just limited to West Virginia, he is using his office to help everywhere he can, including the fight for Oceano Dunes and holding a board seat on the Blue Ribbon Coalition.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 198 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

We are sitting in that strange week between Christmas and New Years... and we are feeling it. Corey, Jessy and Matson journey down what they do this time of year... they share New Years Resolutions, discuss the case of the mystery Oreos, how procrastination might be effective therapy, while change only happens with accountability, using OpenAI to do the lazy work, getting divorced from Social Media, and how 2023 might just be the year to get shit done.

Oh and Matson shares the continuing drama of the Breakey TV Saga.

As always, it is probably more fun to watch this episode at YouTube.com/modernjeeper

Is this episode really about the nine things we hate about Christmas?

Yes... sort of... after talking about weather, headaches, chiropractors and the Jade table, we touch on the A2Z Overland Expo that happened last weekend and that somehow morphed directly into debating the 9 things we hate about Christmas.It truly is a fun and interesting dive into what Christmas has become.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 193 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Happy Thanksgiving Modern Jeepers! Corey, Jessy and Matson recorded this last Tuesday, but this episode is very much about Thanksgiving... not only from a "Be Thankful" point of view, but from a deeper perspective on what we all may be missing.

In the throes of life, it is interesting how much we miss when we are sucked into the vortex of social media... of self approval... of existence by visibility... of what Matson has dubbed Personal Gaslighting.

This is a deep discussion about that, and more...

PLUS, they choose the winner of the $5000 Giveaway... and then they choose a few more for some swag and a Rubicon Poster.

Finally Matson asks a seemingly simple question and end up learning a thing or two about Milwaukee vs DeWalt vs Ryobi vs Corey's Goto...

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 192 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Corey & Jessy are recovering from their Death Valley Adventure sitting in the icy ModernJeeper Compound on the Western Slope of Colorado, while I am sitting warm and cozy at Metalcloak World HQ in Northern California.

Ahhh... the good life.

This is another great and random episode where we wrap up a seemingly Sub Zero Death Valley, give the good and the bad of the Official ModernJeeper/Metalcloak Truck Swap, admire a whole lot of new products on Metalcloak.com, take a brief look at the ongoing Black Friday Sales, and give out a nice Veterans Day Thank You to all who helped Metalcloak raise money for 4 Wheel to Heal.

BTW, there is even some politics thrown in... fair warning!

But, most importantly, this is week number five - the final week- of the ModernJeeper $5000 Listener Giveaway... as long as you've been listening you will know what to do next.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 185 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This is one of the most important episodes we have ever done.

That is not a joke. There is a major threat to the future of off roading in Moab. Every trail you've ever heard of in the region... trails like Poison Spider, Golden Spike, Gold Bar Rim, Rusty Nail, Seven Mile Rim and Where Eagles Dare could be closed... forever.

Jeremy Rowan of Moab-based Outlaw Jeep Adventures joins Corey, Jessy and Matson to discuss from the front lines what is happening, why it is happening and what you can do, no matter where you live, to help preserve the future of off roading in Moab.

Do not take this lightly folks. Listen to this episode or watch it at YouTube.com/ModernJeeper... then take action and share it with your friends and fellow off roaders.

This is an important moment, and everyone can help.

Now, sit back, relax with a cold one, and pay close attention to Episode 185 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Hello ModernJeepers, Matson from MetalCloak here and welcome to Episode 181 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This is a unique episode... a first for us... we are both in hotels... I'm in a hotel in Chattanooga, Tennessee while Corey and Jessy are somewhere outside of Missouri.

Last week we shared some video of the vendors setting up at the Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion, which ended this last Saturday. We are recording this episode on Monday night so the event is still fresh in our minds... and we share everything we can about this truly incredible gathering of Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 176 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Jessy's back at the ModernJeeper Compound joining Corey and Matson for another great episode...

They talk about Jeepers Jamboree, All for Fun, GAIA vs others, to share your secret trail or not, and the ModernJeeper Adventures Fall Death Valley Trip.

Then they are joined by a very special ModernJeeper, Tony Carvallo... the man who saved the Wrangler. Tony shares with the show his story including how he came to truly love Jeeps, getting his first job at Jeep during the time of the TJ, building the Ram Runner, Blue Crush and the Storm Trooper as part of Mopar Underground, and how fixing Jeeps on the side got him the greatest job of all time (and the hardest) overseeing the design and development of the JL Wrangler.

Tony also shares why he jumped ship to Dynatrac after the launch of the JL, how he ended up at Bestop and what his next very special adventure will be.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 174 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This is a Flashback Episode while Corey & Jessy are playing with Milestar on Xpdn 3 around the Oregon Coast.

This episode was recorded right after our Tillamook ModernJeeper Adventure in 2021… Jessy was away while Corey & I caught up on the previous two weeks of adventure, good times, bad habits and good karma.

We share some stories from 2021’s ModernJeeper Tillamook Adventure and why it will forever be known as the “Beach Edition”, the intricacies of driving a Gladiator on the sand dunes, to Off Road + or not, why Jeep is the true recovery vehicle of choice, how to get a torn achilles, and Jeep’s vision for a driverless future.

BTW, if you wonder “what the F” are these guys doing? You can see the full video, in all it’s glory at YouTube.com/modernjeeper

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 162 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Things are always happening in the world of the ModernJeeper... last week we were in Moab and this week Matson is back at MetalCloak World Headquarters while Corey & Jessy are on the road heading to Oklahoma City for a CTI Tour Stop on their way to Jeep Beach in Daytona Florida.

Event season is in full force!

And no one knows it better than our guest this week, friend, ModernJeeper, journalist, gearhead and all-around off-road Guru, Sean Holman, the head of the Truck Group at Motortrend and host of the hugely popular Truck Show Podcast.

Sean shares a multitude of stories including the benefits of Moab, falling gracefully into off road journalism, turning a Sportster into a Cafe Racer, building a modern Flatty, how a podcast about trucks led to visiting a Boomer submarine, driving Jeep's concept rigs [including what his favorite one is of all time], how he snagged a 4xe Grand Cherokee for his wife, and building a 1960 Bug for his daughter... kind of.

And he even tries to give Matson some encouragement that one day he, too might be famous enough to drive a Concept Jeep.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 161 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

It's Easter Jeep Safari and life couldn't be better.

This week Corey, Jessy and Matson are joined by Author, Overlanding Guru, Historian and all around great guy, ModernJeeper and friend Chris Collard.

We start this episode at the iconic Moab Diner sitting at our very own Metalcloak table right after inhaling our rather large breakfast. Overall it was fun to sit there and talk Moab, but it was rather loud and at times get's a bit deafening. [Warning]

Then, like last year [Ep 110/160] we wander over to the Jeep booth to check out this year's concept Jeeps including the Birdcage and Bob [our favorite].

Since this episode was all about the camera and the footage, we highly recommend you watch the video at YouTube.com/modernjeeper for better context on what we are doing and seeing.

Matson, Jessy and Corey are in Moab. Yep, at Easter Jeep Safari. It actually happened! They are still in disbelief.

So the crew decided they should go record the podcast at the Jeep booth after having an outstanding breakfast at the Canyon’s Waffles & Steak house.

However, all they had to record this episode was Corey’s iPhone 12… which did a phenomenal job of capturing the video and ALL the sounds… including lots and lots of ambient sounds from the traffic just 10 feet away. It can be distracting, but it is actually much easier to watch and understand what is going on at our YouTube channel where this episode is fully viewable. YouTube.com/modernjeeper

In this episode they check out Magneto, the 392, ugly 4Xe charging stations, Ian’s Wagoneer and Matson finds his wife’s next SUV. Then you get to see what life is like after an afternoon of CTIs

As always, we are extremely grateful to our supporters including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios, Adventure Rack Systems, and, of course, Metalcloak.

So, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode 160 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 159 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

It's another week and another awesome show with Corey, Jessy and Matson chatting about whatever seems to cross their minds... from the violence on award shows, to golf ball sized hail, to flubbing my lines, to the MetalCloak Shootout, to Moab during Memorial Weekend, to getting good help, to used car prices, to the long list of prep for the upcoming Easter Jeep Safari including printing 500 shirts to give away.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 158 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

The Random Show is back! Yep, this episode is just about Corey, Jessy and Matson catching up about whatever crosses the threshold of their thoughts. We've had some great interviews lately, but it is nice to just have a good BS session.

They really try to spend this episode recapping the recent ModernJeeper Adventure to Death Valley, but end up all over the place including goondocks, woke CEOs, being nice, electric camping blankets, hating harrys and why Matson spent 24 hours in the emergency room over the weekend.

And, of course, they do talk about the incredible adventure in Death Valley and why that area is just so special to visit and important to experience.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 157 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Corey and Jessy are back from two weeks in Death Valley for ModernJeeper Adventures and right out of the box Matson threw them into the fire to record one of our favorite episodes so far.

The crew BS a little bit about Death Valley and shocking gas prices and then dive directly into the discussion with the special guest.

This week we are honored to have Dave Cole, the man behind the crazy idea to build a desert race out in the middle of Johnson Valley, California. Sixteen years later King of the Hammers is one of the most amazing spectacles you will ever see.

We were inspired to bring Dave on to the podcast because of recent changes to the ownership structure of Ultra4 Racing, but as is usual for a ModernJeeper show episode we go all over the place from the origin of KOH, to the evolution of Dave Cole, to the future of Ultra4 Racing.

Dave dives into all levels of what we are dubbing the Cole philosophy, including his personal growth, what it took to build KOH, the stories, the myths and why he sold Ultra4 Racing.

He also breaks down the stats of the 2022 King of the Hammers including the most incredible statistic of all and why he will never build a car with a transfer case again.

Then he shares some insight into the Ford relationship, why Jeep didn't want to race, and what special badging we might see on a future Bronco.

And, to top it all off, he shares his cell phone. As a note, if you are listening to the audio and wonder "what the F" is going on, you can watch the full video of our discussion at YouTube.com/modernjeeper

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 156 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This is a special episode... not done in our usual format.

Corey and Jessy are hosting a group of ModernJeepers Adventurers in Death Valley this week and recorded a few daily clips to document and recap the Death Valley experience.

They are joined by Adventure Rack Systems Brand Manager Mike Upchurch [who, yes, is out there with Matson’s Gladiator] and Casey McFarlane aka Casey 250 on YouTube and the internets.

Matson recorded a little intro in order to share some thoughts about the recent developments in Ultra4 Racing and to share with you his new favorite frozen coffee.

Then it is all Corey, Jessy, Mike and Casey.

Just a note... they are in the middle of Death Valley, so you are going to hear some wind... and other natural [and un-natural] sounds.

And, remember, this was recorded as video so you can check out the whole episode at YouTube.com/modernjeeper YouTube.com/modernjeeper.

Corey and Jessy are enjoying some much needed R&R in Vegas this week, so Matson is going solo with an interview of ModernJeeper John Goodby, entrepreneur, racer, founder of NorCal Rock Racing and the man who helped build Ultra 4 Racing.

We talk about the Origins of Short Course Rock Racing, the Early Days of King of the Hammers, the Evolution of NorCal Rock Racing, how Prairie City Eats Cars, Building Ultra 4 Tracks Across the Country, Gomez Family Dynamics, The Gomez Tree, Holley's LS Fest, why NorCal has the Fastest Guys in the Country, and why the upcoming Metalcloak Shootout is one of the greatest spectator events of all.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 154 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Matson is relaxing on the porch, listening to the ocean waves while freezing his butt off at the Breakey Compound Northwest in Lincoln City Oregon.

So we asked Jessy & Corey to take up the slack for the podcast this week so Matson could spend more time with the fam.

And boy did they come through! Be prepared for an incredible fun filled ride with none other than ModernJeeper Martin Castro of Milestar Tires... they cover everything from King of the Hammers, the drivers and the challenges of this year's course to John Matthews and he world of EV Racing, and real mental challenges of a racing at that caliber.

Then they tackle tire design, vehicle technology and why motorsports still matter.

And then, for the tire geeks... they get into load inflation tables, advancements in rubber compounds, tread design technology and solving supply chains.s

They even have time to talk Jeep straight six and the strengths of the 4.0L.

While Jessy is off visiting her family, Corey and Matson open the show talking about everything from what the weather will be like at the upcoming Death Valley Adventure to the return of the Straight Six engine from Stellantis... and I get to throw in some more details about the Ultimate RockLander Giveaway which is fast approaching $30,000 in Prizes.

Then we are joined by friend and ModernJeeper Ian Johnson of Big Tire Garage and FourWheeler TV. We brought Ian on to primarily recap this years King of the Hammers, but, as is usual for a ModernJeeper Show we jump all over the place. Ian takes us through the world of KOH from the role of the Commentators, what Dave Cole did with 200000 tickets sold on the LakeBed, seeing Pennywise and Sublime, why KOH is a real business, race day car prep when it is sub zero, why he thinks KOH 2023 will have four laps, who are the Mexican RockBouncers, how money has changed KOH and why Jason Scherer is the coolest guy in off road racing.

We also chat about how FourWheeler TV came about, the future of KOH and EV, how Nitrogen can save Motorports, Energy Independence, and what Trudeau is doing to all the nice guys North of the border.

Congratulations again to the winner of the $5000 giveaway, Collin Johnson. We will have Collin on the podcast next week to go over his build, his jeeping history and what his $5000 prize package consists of.

However, this week Corey & Jessy are out ModernJeepin' with our friends on the ModernJeeper Death Valley Fall Adventure, leaving me alone, once again, twiddling my thumbs at MetalCloak World HQ.

I was able to convince one of our newest team members, Mike Upchurch, to join me for the podcast. Mike recently joined our team as the head of marketing and brand development for Adventure Rack Systems, our Overlanding focused rack brand originally known as Kargo Master Safari.

Mike shares his background including why he lived on a sailboat during high school, how speeding tickets let to the Navy, how he expresses his passion for the outdoors, struggling between his TJ and his Westfalia, driving party boats on the weekend, and how we snagged him for Adventure Rack Systems.

By the way, this episode is going live on Thursday, November 11, 2021, Veteran's Day and I have a few things to share with you including how you can support one of our favorite Veteran's Organizations, 4 Wheel 2 Heal.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode 136 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Matson catches up with Corey & Jessy as they are showing off Moab to some friends from back East. Now, they are recording this from a VRBO with spotty internet, so while we have cleaned up a lot of the audio, if something doesn’t make sense, Matson says it’s all Corey and Jessy’s fault.

As has become the habit as of late, your hosts wander all over the place from fixing an XJ, listening to your instincts, picking up stray cats, dogs and kids, wheeling the weather of Moab, the real reason it’s called Slickrock, the van life, trails being tore up by non-users, being a bump wimp, cryptobiotic soil, learning your Jeep, 3rd quarter FCA sales and bringing a microwave on the Rubicon.

Corey, Jessy and Matson dive right in this week after the ModernJeeper Adventure in the San Juans of Colorado… staring the conversation with awesome feedback from an attendee. Then we dive into some serious discussions about the state of offloading including the near fatal accident on Black Bear Pass this last weekend, why the Bronco may be the most dangerous 4x4 every built, how to prevent people from doing dumb stuff, gatekeepers vs SUVs, built rigs without talent, maturing out of extreme trails, having no regrets, listening to your instincts and a little known fact about seatbelts.

The fun conversation spans backyards, closed trails, DMVs, Canada, guided tours, traveling the US, Van Life, the Rivian truck, RayBans, subscription boxes and the brand called You.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 133 of The ModernJeeper Show, the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Jessy is back from the RimRock Trail Ladies Only event and Matson has lots of questions about the trail, about the idea of a ladies event and whether or not it is true that the ladies are much more relaxed then guys on these kind of runs.

Then Corey, Jessy and Matson talk about next week’s ModernJeeper Adventures on the Colorado San Juans, traffic problems screwing up JJUSA this week, a bit of California politics (Matson couldn’t help himself), doing a Sadie Hawkins Jeep run, running into motos on the trail, brain elasticity, solving JK overheating, and the non stop world of the ModernJeeper.

Then Matson talks a bit of tech… and crypto wallets.

If you’ve listened to this show for any period of time you know that we can just go all over the place… while the focus is on Jeeps, we can cover all kinds of topics. This episode is a shining example…

While Jessy is on her way back from Oklahoma, and getting ready for the Ladies Only Rim Rock Adventure, Corey and Matson talk about whatever comes to mind… from the San Juans to Death Valley to Skillz Day to Feelings of Accomplishment.

It is an epic wandering journey through the minds of our hosts. And we hope you enjoy.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 131 of The ModernJeeper Show, the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

The Rubicon is closed, the Caldor fire is on it’s way to South Lake Tahoe, MetalCloak world headquarters and the entire valley is layered in ash, while on the other side of the country there are hurricanes, flooding and so much more. Oh my.

Despite it all, Corey and Jessy (who just arrived back at the Colorado Compound after an incredibly successful Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion) join Matson for another random drive through the world of Jeeping.

They talk about Jessy’s new family addition, a recap of the Invasion, why the leadership of JJUSA needs to get a grip, why every club event ever done might have violated JJUSA intellectual property, why you need to join us for the San Juans of Colorado Modern Jeeper Adventure, why the Death Valley Adventure in November is new for all of us, and how Skillz Day registration just blew up.

Then I share something called Fordite.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to a special episode of The ModernJeeper Show, the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Since Corey & Jessy are somewhere on the Morrison Jeep Trail and Matson is preparing for surgery on his Achilles, we thought it would be fun to share one of our favorite episodes, which also happens to be the subject of our newest ModernJeeper Adventure.

We are time traveling back to Episode number 76. The San Juans of Colorado.

Registration is now open for our newest ModernJeeper Adventure. It just seemed appropriate to share an episode that will hopefully inspire you to make your way to Colorado in September. 

We are playing the episode here, in it’s entirety.

Enjoy…

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 125 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Jessy is on her way back to Colorado, so once more you are subjected to the ramblings of Corey and Matson on whatever is crossing their minds.

It has been another week of craziness in the world of Jeeping... and not all of the good kind of craziness. So, in this random episode we talk 4xe, submersible Jeeps, why Jeep can finally think about the future, being a Backpack hoarder, responsible Jeeping, learning the intricacies of recovery (warning... there is math involved) and we go down the list of upcoming events ModernJeeper is going to be at including Jeepers Jamboree, Jeep Jamboree, All-4-Fun, and the Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. And we can't forget our own ModernJeeper Adventure on the San Juan Mountains of Colorado... registration is now open!

Then we pause for a moment of seriousness after last week's tragedy on the Rubicon, and what it is we all need to remember... wheeling is a dangerous sport.

As always, we are extremely grateful to our supporters & friends including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios, Adventure Rack Systems, and, of course, Metalcloak.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 124 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Jessy is away while Corey & Matson catch up on the last two weeks of adventure, good times, bad habits and good karma.

They share some stories from last weekend’s ModernJeeper Tillamook Adventure and why it will forever be known as the “Beach Edition”, the intricacies of driving a Gladiator on the sand dunes, to Off Road + or not, why Jeep is the true recovery vehicle of choice, how to get a torn achilles, and Jeep’s vision for a driverless future.

In another random show, the crew chats about the challenges [and rewards] of doing what you love for a living, the reality of time, the myth of the 40 hour work week, being at cause over life, taking responsibility as an off-roader, driving your beach on the ocean, and how not to be creepy.

Oh, and amongst all of that, they discuss the upcoming Xtreme Recon Edition JL Wrangler… stock 35’s? 4.88 gears? Sure, why not.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 122 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Matson is joined by Corey and Jessy as they make their way back to Colorado after an extraordinary time at the beautiful 1000 Acres Ranch and the ADK Jeep Invasion.

This week’s special guest is Jamie Longmuir of Blinker Fluid Productions… the small but effective group of doers behind the New Jersey Jeep Invasion and the all new ADK Jeep Invasion that the CTI Trailer was just at.

Jamie talks about his Jeep addiction, growing up in a Jeep dealership, starting a Jeep Club, creating the New Jersey Jeep Invasion, what inspired him to bring an event to the Adirondacks, being a responsible Jeeper, Jeep education, his favorite mod under $500 and why a guy who has owned over 100 Jeeps has never done the Rubicon.

Then Corey has a rant… and we know what that is like. Don’t miss this one.

And we get an early dose of Corey’s Rants.

Then they are joined by John Angelastro, the founder and former… yes, FORMER… owner of sPOD. John shares what it was like deciding to let go of his 16 year old success story, how sPOD started, the unusual struggles with supply chains, how he found his first Jeep 40 years ago, dealing with copycats, leading the industry with innovation & technology, favorite trails, favorite mod under $500, and what events you can find him at before he hangs his hat.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 116 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

While Matson is back in MetalCloak World HQ, Corey & Jessy are joining us from Panama City Beach on the 12th Floor of their Beach Side Resort Hotel as they are getting ready for the last event of their Florida adventures, the Florida Jeep Jam. You can learn more about that even on last week’s episode.

This week we go a bit into geopolitics, the economics of scarcity, failing education, rugged individualism, the merchants of chaos, the $15 fast food lunch, & hitting alligators with kayaks.

This week’s tech tip is all about GMRS… what it is, how it works and why we are so darn impressed with this not-so-new mobile radio standard.

BTW, if you wonder what may be going on at times, you can see the full video, in all it’s glory at YouTube.com/modernjeeper

As always, we are extremely grateful to our supporters & friends including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios, Adventure Rack Systems, and, of course, MetalCloak.

So, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode 116 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Corey & Jessy are living it up at the compound of El Jefe, Ricky Artes of Jeeper’s Den and his massive orange grove estate… where it is hot, hot, hot… and humid too. While Matson is sitting in luxurious commercial air conditioning, on an 8 year old office chair at Metalcloak world HQ. Yep, he’s gotta get out more.

This week, the team is joined by Jamie Carr of the Florida Jeep Jam and Bryan Schlater of Aerolidz. They talk first Jeeps, favorite trails, Jeep Beach, hunting the green flash of Key West, Jammin’ in Panama City, going light bars before lockers, and how Aerolidz is making light bars cool again.

In this random episode we talk about Freedom, Matson’s sleep study, the greatness that is Moab, Thelma & Louise Point, having an express line for the CTI, lousy Moab food vs. great Moab food, the Dixie Vendor Show, crawling under a Bronco, showing up fashionably late, being friends with awesome companies, good people vs. dicks, ModernJeeper Adventures, Jeep Beach, and fighting for Land Use.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 110 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Matson, Jessy and Corey are in Moab. Yep, at Easter Jeep Safari. It actually happened! They are still in disbelief.

So the crew decided they should go record the podcast at the Jeep booth after having an outstanding breakfast at the Canyon’s Waffles & Steak house.

However, all they had to record this episode was Corey’s iPhone 12… which did a phenomenal job of capturing the video and ALL the sounds… including lots and lots of ambient sounds from the traffic just 10 feet away. It can be distracting, but it is actually much easier to watch and understand what is going on at our YouTube channel where this episode is fully viewable. YouTube.com/modernjeeper

In this episode they check out Magneto, the 392, ugly 4Xe charging stations, Ian’s Wagoneer and Matson finds his wife’s next SUV. Then you get to see what life is like after an afternoon of CTIs

Hello ModernJeepers, Matson from Metalcloak here and welcome to Episode 109 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Interspersed with all that, we talk skin care, the 4XE Ratings Failure, losing Oceano Dunes, environmentalists and private property, San Francisco’s termite population, and decluttering our heads.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 108 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Corey & Jessy are back… and Matson is doing his Happy Dance! After almost three weeks of Death Valley, Corey & Jessy share their upcoming schedule, why they are ready to go back to Death Valley, how they hosted Thanksgiving in March, what the plans are for Easter Jeep Safari, and why Denver has 3 feet of snow, but Corey’s house doesn’t.

Next we are joined by our special guest, Michael Nadel of New Jersey’s Globex Performance. Michael shares with us the terrifying stories of the Globear, how The Simpon’s is integral to his business, being a part of the JK Xperience, running through a museum, how he went from Used Car Salesman to Premier Jeep Builder, having a great business partner, his favorite build of 2020, and how his JL caused him to go viral. Then he gets hit with our fast fire questions… favorite trail, favorite mod under $500 and what he’d like on a license plate.

BTW, Mike was with us while sitting in his actual office, with his team doing actual work, which you can plainly hear in the background, sometimes rather loudly. If you want to know what the heck that noise was, or who was that talking, check out the video recording of this podcast at YouTube.com/modernjeeper

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 107 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Matson continues his solo hosting duties while Corey & Jessy stay in Death Valley helping out the Cal4Wheel adventure going on now, but he is saved by a couple visits from good friends including Scott Becker who heads up Metalcloak’s multi-media team and ModernJeeper Phillip Thorpe as he is hanging out in Vegas after bumming it in Death Valley.

Then Matson gets a call from our good friend Ricky Artes of Florida’s JeepersDen who also just attended the ModernJeeper Adventure Death Valley trip. Ricky had a long drive ahead of him so figured there was nothing better to do than to check into the ModernJeeper show. Ricky shares tales of Ghost Towns, Ghost Stories, compulsive mine diving, campfire comaraderie, cowboy poetry, and the upcoming trifecta of Florida Jeep Events.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 106 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Matson is going solo this week as Corey & Jessy are on the incredible ModernJeeper Adventures in Death Valley, but they did provide us with a little message that we’re going to share with you. As a solo act, Matson decided to share some news about Moab, about being involved and how he stumbled into the off road industry twelve years ago, including a brief history of Metalcloak’s origins and how you can find your way into the Jeep business too.

Then we are joined by Chris Carter of Forged 4x4, the phenomenal new company that is following the model of RestoMods and TunerCult by building an awesome 4x4 rig and then giving it away. Forged does it with a twist by adding an entertaining membership program that automatically gives you entries along in conjunction with an eCommerce site selling goods and each purchase nets you more entries. Chris shares with us what it takes to build the rigs, how often they plan on giving one away, what rigs they have planned in the future (you’re gonna love this), how many members are part of Forged 4x4, why he gets emotionally attached to the rigs they build, testing tools and equipment for the sale side, creating a world-class eCommerce store, being overland focused, and the great veteran focused charity that benefits from it all.

Then we get into Corey’s whirlwind schedule over the next couple months from Death Valley to Moab to Daytona to MayDay Miami.

This week’s guest is Angie Wulf of Wulf Off Road out of Peoria, Arizona. Angie shares her love of Table Mesa, what it’s like running a build shop, why they closed their shop in Illinois to move to Arizona, getting used to slow rock crawling vs fast mudding, why the guys try to keep her out of the bays, being yourself, “Peter Pan”-ing her way through life, how doing a bedliner in a friend’s truck started it all, what it was like showing up in Arizona with Illinois Mall Crawlers, getting bit by the wheelin’ bug, favorite build of 2020, going from a from a Scat Pack to a C7… then she answers our rapid fire questions… favorite trail, favorite mod under $500, and her dream license plate (that she actually has).

This is a short episode as we are all juggling a bunch of "balls" at the moment. A dear friend this morning reminded me "never get so many balls in the air that you can’t find your own"! We are busy updating the website with new functionality and a new Calendar; an exciting and full season coming up with our ModernJeeper Adventures including the Death Valley trip; a shout out to the folks racing this coming week out at the King of the Hammers; why you should take a look at Kamp-Rite; and things to remember when buying Jeeps and Jeep parts!

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 100 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Can you believe it!?!? One Hundred Episodes! It seems like only yesterday Corey and Matson were planning to do a weekly BS session about Jeeps, we already had ModernJeeper.com going so it just seemed natural to take it to a new level with the Podcast.

This is a special episode because it was recorded LIVE on Wednesday, January 20 direct from the video production room at Metalcloak World HQ. Corey, Jessy and Matson reminisce about how the show started, what our favorite episodes are, which ones are most popular and what we expect the next 100 episodes to be like.

Throughout the show, you will also hear us picking winners for Metalcloak’s 9th Annual “I Resolve to Jeep” Giveaway.

And Jessy challenges us with some tech questions from the Facebook and YouTube Live Streams.

If you want to watch show in it’s entirety at YouTube.com/modernjeeper

Just a personal note here… none of this would be possible without the support of each of you. There would be no reason to do 100 episodes if you, our listeners did not exist. It is inspiring to hear the stories from across the nation of listeners who look forward each week to another episode of the show.

From the bottom of our hearts. Thank you. Thank you.

Jessy, who just drove back through the earliest snow storm that Colorado has seen in 20 years, joins Matson and Corey for a quick show that covers a lot of ground.

They are joined by Jeff Glancy, owner of the Honest Speed Shop in Columbus, Ohio. While Jeff's shop can take care of almost all your needs, including the purchase of a vehicle, upgrades and repairs to it and even getting it clean, we also talk about the International Scout; fluid film undercoatings; southern Ohio off-roading; why you can pick a direction but not a line wheeling back East; his shop staff; King of the Hammers; the Bellefontaine Hill Climb; and how Porsche and Yugo made it into Jeff's collection, the new Bronco and even TikTok!

For our Tech Tip of the Week we cover all things steering! From why you need high-steer to why you might not...why bigger isn't always better...why the JL's and JT's may have some death wobble issues and what Jeep is doing to help.

This week we are joined by Bob Sweeney President of Jeepers Jamboree, which hosts the Grandaddy of all Jeeping Events on the famous Rubicon Trail. Bob digs into why, despite everything and lots of community support, they decided to cancel Jeepers Jamboree this year [the first time in 67 years], how their County was threatened by Governor Newsom, how they get 800 Jeeps through this epic trail, handling emergencies on the trail, why the Rubicon Trail depends on Jeepers Jamboree for it’s own survival, having incredible volunteers, the Jeep Jamboree Kids program called Camp Rubicon, what the history is between Jeepers Jamboree and Jeep Jamboree USA, and Going Ultra4.

Amongst all this, Bob and Corey manage to educate Matson on what a “Section” is.

This week we are joined by our good friend Ricky Artes of JeepersDen, one of the premier off road shops in all of Florida. Ricky shares with us the perfect night at Panama City Jeep Jam, why JeepersDen does events all over the Country, what his first Jeep was and why he still has it, when he started being an entrepreneur, what the off road world is like in Puerto Rico, why he builds Mall Crawlers, wheeling out of state, selling product on Etsy, and, of all things, how he recently became a Citrus Farmer with 3000 Orange Trees.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 72 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

With all of the craziness going on in our world, some days we just have to throw our hands up, take a breath, and remember how we got here. It seems that planning for pretty much anything is a true challenge. Jeep events, including our very own Modern Jeeper Adventures trips to Tillamook, OR and the Rubicon Trail have been put off for now. Even the events that had postponed are now starting to throw in the towel and just wait until next year. There are a few that are still trying to hold on, including one of our favorites, The Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion in Pigeon Forge, TN. I know our fingers are crossed that it still happens.

With the 4th of July happening this weekend, we know you are all still planning on celebrating our freedoms...the best way we know how, by getting outside in our Jeeps! Many of us still have projects we are working on and that might be how you plan on celebrating this important holiday...but either way, cheers to our country and our freedoms that we still have!

I spent a few hours this morning with my friends at a local shop tearing apart an ARB air locker to fix an internal leak. For our Tech Tip of the Week, we chat about air lockers; what you should check; why your compressor might be running non stop; and how to fix it. Stay tuned for some video of what that project looks like as well!

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 71 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

The CTI Tour has been on the Road! Jessy "RockStar Jeep Girl" and myself have been on the road for just over 2 weeks and all I can say is that things have definitely changed! Literally from State to State, County to County and sometimes block to block, the rules and their interpretation are definitely unique.

We trekked across the Southwest in order to attend the 5th year of the Florida Jeep Jam in Panama City Beach, and I will say that us as an industry and as Jeepers are a resilient bunch! We crave getting outside and we miss our fellow enthusiasts...but most of all we miss Jeeping!

This week Matson talks a little politics, but it's not what you think; we chat about new products; changes within the industry; why bigger is better isn't always true; where to post a meme with anonymity; structural tubing strengths; amazon Jeep parts; Jeep upgrades; my new business selling stamps; and why Day 'Aight Donuts should be a thing!As always, ModernJeeper is extremely grateful to our supporters including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios,KMS Adventure Racks, and, of course, Metalcloak.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 70 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

With Jessy "RockStar" Greenland and myself on the way to Florida Jeep Jam, one of the few events that has not been cancelled, and Matson juggling to keep the wheels on the bus, we decided it was time to reach outside our box and see what a few others are thinking about these days.

This week we are bringing back 3 off-road industry experts to check in on their perspectives of our current state of affairs. John Herrick of CRAWL Magazine, David Johnson of Northridge 4x4, and Larry McRae of Zion Jeep Tours and Outback Safaris discuss what things are like through their eyes and in their areas of the country. We talk about all things that "matter", including inventory; technology; projects; backcountry travel; flexibility; what spiked means to you; the country of CHAZ; and whether the media and numbers actually do fit in this category.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 69 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Rockstar Jeep Girl Jessy and myself get back on the road as the CTI Tour heads East! Matson is holding down the fort in California making sure that some new products are headed your way very soon!

Travel these days is definitely different as well as challenging. We will share with you all what it's like in a few of the states that we have crossed so far; why "Know Before You Go" is a good idea; what you should pay attention to at gas stations, hotels and restaurants; things you should check before you might need them, like the AC in your Jeep; and why aliens should be scared.

In our Tech Tip of the Week, maintenance again is the key! We talk about a couple of things like the air pressure in your tires, recharging your AC on your own, and how being flexible can make life easier on the road.

As always, ModernJeeper is extremely grateful to our supporters including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios,KMS Adventure Racks, and, of course, Metalcloak.

So, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode number 69 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 67 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

The word is out! Wheeling IS practicing social distancing! And...Moab is open and still just as amazing as it always was!

This week, Matson and myself chat about...well...most everything! We recap this past week which includes an in depth perspective of Moab; Memorial Day vs Veteran's Day; how to design T-shirts; sending us your jeep projects; why Matson might be a "Covidiot"; why we should have "No Ragrets"; and the state of our Jeeping lifestyle!

Rugged Radios gets some love as I chat about what they are doing in order to help us communicate with each other while out on the trail...and noting that its all FCC licensed, compliant and certified! And I need to correct the antenna information that I gave out...it's a 1/4 wave and only 18" tall!

Our Tech Tip this week is actually a question that we are putting out there to all of you! When standing a Jeep on it's tail, what are some solutions to keeping fluid flowing in the transmission?

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 66 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

We are another week closer to getting back out on our favorite trails and to our favorite events!

This week, Jessy, Matson and myself get a chance to talk with one of the most knowledgeable guys in the winch and recovery business, Mr. Chad Schroll from Warn Industries. Even though his business card says "Systems Technician", there's not much that Chad hasn't done at Warn...after all he has been there for 30 years!

The entire show this week is really one long Tech Tip! We cover all things winch related! From the technical aspects of a recovery to why synthetic winch rope should be replaced every 5 years or so.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 65 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

65 Podcasts! Oh Baby, we've come a long way and have covered a lot of ground over the past 15 months. Each day we feel like we are one step closer to getting back on our favorite trails!

For this episode, Jessy, Matson and myself come at social distancing from all sides. We talk about new things coming to Modern Jeeper, including the upcoming JK-10 build; new ways to communicate with our followers; why you should always buy american made products; where to spend a weekend in wasteland; how to catch up with a few industry experts; and how you can survive by consuming a wiring harness.

While our country slowly reopens a few of our favorite places, our sights are on the upcoming MJ Adventure in Moab this Memorial Day weekend, in fact, if if hurry, you could still join us!

In this week's Tech Tip of the Week, we talk about gadgets! We share a few of ours and ask what is yours?

Congratulations to all of our listeners out there for making it through another week! AND, even though the day has come and gone, we recorded this on Cinco de Mayo which was also Taco Tuesday! So hopefully you grabbed a taco and celebrated a bit...practicing social distancing of course!

Mike Miller, the owner and operator of Bull Run 4X4, all the way out in Virginia, joins us this week to talk about what he describes as "The Experience". He shares with us how his white glove customer treatment has enabled him to grow his business and shop over the years. We talk about Jeeps he's owned and rigs he's built as well as awesome places to wheel even when you're 60 miles from Washington DC.

While the virus remains on our minds, our sights are focused on the upcoming MJ Adventure in Moab this Memorial Day weekend, events that are still trying to take place, and what this fall could look like for us Jeepers!

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 63 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

It's been about 7 long years...I mean weeks...since we left our rational, economically progressive, country...now most of us watch it all from home.

Kudos to our front line workers and first responders that have enabled us to continue on and let us look forward to another day!

This week we talk a bit about government, (it seems we have to since it's what is on our minds), we talk about Memorial Day in Moab, a new contest coming from MetalCloak, how to keep your mind healthy with Jeep projects, and the MJ Forum that you should all take a look at!

In our Tech Tip of the Week, we talk about shocks! We just seem to overlook this critical item far too often! They need inspected, serviced and charged more often than you might think! A shout out to Powertank for providing us a convenient way to charge those shocks!

As always, ModernJeeper is extremely grateful to our supporters including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios,KMS Adventure Racks, and, of course, Metalcloak.

We chat about why you should visit Kansas Rocks Off-road Park as well as what events are taking place there this year!

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 61 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Its been one entire month. 30 LONG days since we were all told to stay home, behave and wash our hands. I hope you are all hanging there as we get through another week...

This week, Matson, "Rockstar Jeep Girl" Jessy and myself, talk a little about a lot! Even though I hate doing it, we do touch on the state of our country and the media. We also chat about how soon we can all get back to our regularly scheduled programming, hitting the trails and jeeping in general.

And, once again, we get to go a little technical...but technical in a GPS kind of way. We talk about a couple different GPS "solutions", from hardware to software, what works, what does not and what Corey is using more and more.

For our Tech Tip of the Week, we talk about the Jeep "Rake"...and no, not the one you use to clean up your yard!

I just realized and can't believe that we have done 60 episodes! We know your time is valuable and hope we are providing some sort of entertainment as well as information for the hour or so you give up to spend with us!

This week, Matson, "Rockstar Jeep Girl" Jessy and myself brought in a special guest to get get us through the week with a little more knowledge about wheels than we had before. We are joined by the one and only, Mr. Greg Mulkey of Raceline Wheels. With a bunch of years in the offroad industry, 20 of those years with Raceline alone, building and designing the best wheels in the business, we are excited to have him on the show!

We get to go technical, with an in depth talk about cast vs forged, why air pressures make a difference, why some tires needs spacers for the beadlock ring, what's the difference between offset and backspace, and why the disco bump is coming back in style! We go so technical that we have even provided a few graphics to go along with this weeks show.

For our Tech Tip of the Week, Greg shares with us his Golden Rule and why we all need to follow it.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 59 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

We hope all of you are well and safe in this crazy world we are currently experiencing.

This week’s episode is a Jobber Spotlight, where we are joined by a Jeep Builder from across the country. This week we are joined by Brad Wilkins of Overbuilt Customs in Jacksonville, Florida. Brad shares how he got started doing full restorations, taking care of customers, Jeep Beach vs Jeeptoberfest, keeping busy in these unprecedented times, ramping back up after we flatten the curve, the American SuperJeep Challenge, why he loves Boat shows, how America will be stronger, and why you shouldn’t wheel at night in Johnson Valley.

And of course, we have our Tech Tip of the Week. This week is all about how to buy a used Jeep… what to watch out for and why buying a used build is sometimes buying someone else’s problem.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 58 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

We hope all of you are doing well in these incredibly unprecedented times.

This week we bring back Big Rich Klein of World Extreme Rock Crawling. Rich originally appeared in Episode 16, but this time we are joined by his partner in all ways Shelley Krehbiel. Besides being incredible entrepreneurs and building an enviable life around off road competitions and their growing magazine 4Low, Shelley and Rich are some of the most positive, uplifting and optimistic people we know. So it was only fitting, in these challenging times that we get away from the bad news and have a bit of fun.

Rich & Shelley share with us how they are handling the shelter in place lifestyle including their very innovative Virtual Cocktail Hours, why we should do a Virtual Coffee Klatsch, how 4Low Magazine is the best avenue for aspiring writers, why they dropped the Dirt Riot racing series this year, and why you absolutely need to visit Mason, Texas [hint, it’s the buttermilk pie]

As a note… the most important takeaway from this episode might just be a single quote from Shelley, Your Goals Are Not Cancelled. No matter what else you are doing… no matter how much else we are enduring right now… Your Goals Are Not Cancelled.

Our Tech Tip of the Week was a personal question for each of us… what is the one thing, besides your phone, that you never leave on a trip without? The answers are very telling.

As always, ModernJeeper is extremely grateful to our supporters including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios,KMS Adventure Racks, and, of course, Metalcloak.

With all the COVID-19 craziness going on, Metalcloak’s Matson Breakey, Mr ModernJeeper Corey Osborne, and RockStar Jeep Girl Jessy Greenland decided it was time to bring in the heavy hitters with another Roundtable Episode to discuss the current, unprecedented, circumstances the Jeep community and industry finds itself in.

Joining your hosts this week is John Herrick of CRAWL Magazine, David Johnson of Northridge 4x4, and Larry McCrae of Poison Spyder Fame discussing the stunning closure of the City of Moab, the real Death Rate of the Coronavirus [you might be surprised], the economic impact this hysteria will cause, how the off road industry is reacting, what industry has been the hardest hit, why the virus might just bankrupt more people than it will kill, why small events are cancelling too, the CRAWL trail tour, how to weather bad times, social distancing and what we are all going to do moving forward.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 56 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers!

In last week's episode, Matson and myself had just completed the first of two Modern Jeeper Adventures trips through Death Valley National Park. For this week's episode we pick up where we left off...with some additional thoughts about upcoming events, the coronavirus, and overlanding with your Jeep.

The coronavirus has disrupted many of the ways that we live our daily lives. Our wish for our listeners is that you have enough toilet paper to make it through this interesting time. We all need to be responsible and do the right thing when it comes to keeping yourself healthy. We also all need to keep a level head and not let the bad information change our perspectives.

Jeremy Rowan of Outlaw Jeep Adventures joins us to talk a little more about the Death Valley Adventure and what he brings on overlanding trips. We also talk about Matson's 3 "O's" of overlanding.

In recapping Death Valley, I will say it again: To all the off-roaders, adventure seekers and adrenalin junkies out there...this is not the place you think it is! It is FAR FAR more. Words can't describe what this place is really like...and neither can the images. The only thing I can suggest is for you to experience it for yourself. I can tell you that it is not the boring desert wasteland that you might think it is. You could spend a lifetime out here exploring, wheeling and learning about the history of this mysterious place.

You can check out registration for upcoming Adventures at ModernJeeperAdventures.com.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 55 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers!

Literally this place called Death Valley has taken the words away from me. I'm not really sure what I expected, but what I got hit me like a ton of bricks. In this episode, Matson and myself start a daily audio dairy on the night before we begin the first Adventure of 3 nights and 4 days in Death Valley. And, as usual, our great intentions to do a nightly "recap" got lost as we became immersed into this amazing area made up of over 3 million acres of National Park.

To all the off-roaders, adventure seekers and adrenalin junkies out there...this is not the place you think it is! It is FAR FAR more. Our words can't describe what this place is really like...and neither can the images. The only thing I can suggest is for you to experience it for yourself. I can tell you that it is not the boring desert wasteland that you might think it is. You could spend a lifetime out here exploring, wheeling and learning about the history of this mysterious place.

With trip one of our Death Valley Adventure over, Matson has headed back to the office but I will be spending another 4 days out in this amazing part of our country! Stay tuned for a ton of images and more stories from this awesome Adventure! You can check out registration for upcoming Adventures at ModernJeeperAdventures.com.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 53 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers!

This week, Matson Breakey and myself, Corey Osborne, talk Jeeps! We talk about the variations of the new models as well about some changes taking place in the upcoming ones! Did you know there are 6 variations of skid plates on the JL alone?

We also get into a few details about the 3.0 V6 Turbo Diesel available on the 2020 4-dr Wrangler as an option...this engine with 260 horsepower and 442 pound-foot of torque is the first Wrangler diesel to be sold in the United States!

In this week's Tech Tip we talk about options...what options should be important when you choose your new Jeep and why!

With our Death Valley Adventure right around the corner...maybe you need to get out there with us! But you better call now! You can check out the registration at ModernJeeperAdventures.com.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 52 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping, Jeepers and King of the Hammers.

This week is pretty much all about King of the Hammers...known as KOH.

Mr. ModernJeeper Corey Osborne and Matson cover a ton of information about the racers, classes and results from this years week long event in Johnson Valley, California.

We iron out the classes of the EMC race, or Every Man Challenge, and it's three classes: 4600 (the stock class), 4500 (stock-mod) and 4800 (legends class).

From there we chat about who did what, how they did what they did, and where we went to capture some great footage for our listeners to see on the website!

In this week's Tech Tip we talk about survival...survival at KOH! What are the things that you should be doing if you decide to venture out to the race!

And another reminder…we have spots available for the Death Valley Adventure at the end of this month. Check out the registration at ModernJeeperAdventures.com.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 51 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

You know, last week, we didn’t really make a big deal out of it… but that was episode 50! Pretty cool to hit that mark. And thank you to all of you for continuing to support our humble little show.

This week is another experiment of sorts.

Mr. ModernJeeper Corey Osborne and RockStar Jeep Girl Jessy Greenland are at KOH! They’ve been there for about 5 days now, and we decided to try something new for all of you.

This episode is a “day in the life” experience. The recording was made on Wednesday, February 5, during the 4WP Everyman Challenge at King of the Hammers. The EMC race, as it is known, has three classes, 4600 (the stock class), 4500 (stock-mod) and 4800 (legends class).

We join Corey and Jessy as they just finished up with the Media Briefing that started at a brisk 6:00 AM. That meant that they were up at 4, on the road by 5 in order to be at Hammertown and the briefing by 6.

From there, they talk to some of the racers who are getting lined up early in the morning anxiously awaiting for the race to start. Then you can follow them as they explore a bit of the track including a new area called Guacamole.

Due to the nature of this show, we don’t have a tech tip, other than one simple one we'll share with here... if you heater starts to turn cold in your JK, check your coolant level and, if that is unexpectedly low, you may need to replace your radiator cap. Thank you Scott at Cloakworks 4x4 for spotting that one on my Cloak’d JK. It's good to be warm again.

And just a reminder… we have spots available for the Death Valley Adventure the end of this month. Check out the registration at ModernJeeperAdventures.com.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 50 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week, as Mr. ModernJeeper Corey Osborne and RockStar JeepGirl Jessy Greenland are transversing their way to the King of the Hammers, they pulled over somewhere in Nevada to record this quickie episode with Metalcloak’s Matson Breakey.

As is usual for a random episode of The ModernJeeper Show, the topics are all over the spectrum from why this podcast is therapy, the new graphics on the CTI Tour tuck, the special reason the CTI Trailer is going to be at KOH, what it means to be a Pre-fessional, our secret weapon racers can’t resist, camping among the Joshua Trees of Death Valley, Tierra Del Sol’s new location, Fishing on a Yacht, Monster’s Concert stage, the Beyond Burger, and Matson’s Vegan rant.

We forgo this week’s Tech Tip of the Week and discuss the cool article Jessy posted at ModernJeeper.com about installing a new battery in her 2009 JK.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 49 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week is an experiment. A test. Like everything we do, we like to try new things. Last week, we had our 7th Annual Metalcloak Live “I Resolve to Jeep” New Years Giveaway featuring Metalcloak's Matson Breakey and ModernJeeper.com’s editor, Mr. Del Albright.

The video was seen live on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram TV.

Even though it wasn’t specifically recorded as a Podcast, we thought it would be fun to share it with you and see if you like the idea of a Live Show being re-produced for this platform.

During the show, we will be sharing a lot of Metalcloak and ModernJeeper news and information, surrounded by giveaways to the viewers and Metalcloak fans. While the giveaways are old news, it’s still exciting to hear it all over again.

We cover the Metalcloak Lock-N-Load™, what PWORA stands for, what it means to be a ModernJeeper, why we are the company of Optimism, the Kargo Master Safari acquisition, the art of Multitasking, why Metalcloak takes its time developing products and, of course, there are Lots and Lots of Giveaways!

Lots.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode #48 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

While holding on to our motto of 2020 being the year of vision and focus, this week, Mr. ModernJeeper Corey Osborne and Metalcloak’s Matson Breakey discuss some exciting news to kick off the new year!

This week MetalCloak acquired Kargo Master Safari, the external rack company known for quality and innovation. With overlanding becoming more and more popular, this acquisition should bring even more exciting products to the table.

We also talk about the upcoming MetalCloak 3.5" Dodge Ram Lock-n-Load, Long Arm suspension; the Ivanpah Solar Facility; Winter 4X4 Jamboree; the upcoming #CTI Tour season; the recent Bucket List article and why we should all take time out to stop and smell the roses now and then; and why a very special TJ might look for a new home.

In our Tech Tip of the Week we discuss why you should spend considerable time when choosing your upgrades. Recently, while upgrading RockStar Jeep Girl Jessy Greenland's JK, we discovered that the front frame horns had been cut off to install a bumper...remember it's tough to rewind those installations if you ever want to change things again.

Hello and Happy New Year Modern Jeepers! Welcome to Episode Number 46 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

OMG! Can you believe that 2019 has come and gone? I'm still writing "18" on my checks! But that just makes me seem old...I mean who still writes checks anyway?!

Thanks for tuning in with me, Mr. ModernJeeper, Corey Osborne & Metalcloak’s Matson Breakey for an in depth conversation with a few of the off road industry icons! These are the guys that come to mind when I think about the "Ultimate Adventure", anything relating to tires and everything offroad...Rick Pewe, Andrew Hoit and Larry McRae join us for 90 minutes of JEEP...along with so many other things!

Since 2020 is officially our year of vision and focus, we figured why not start with some clarity!

I honestly can't put into words what these 3 guys...actually 4...mean to me, personally and professionally! If it weren't for the combination of these leaders, I probably wouldn't be talking to you all today.

As we roll into 2020, we look back at the newsworthy Jeep events thats mattered in 2019; we take a deeper look at a couple of the industry markets, from where they were this past year to where they are going this year; we chat about the changes in how we get our information and what the media may look like going forward; where the economy stands and what it might look like in the coming year as well as how it related to all of us Modern Jeepers; why the extreme off-roader still matters and how the overlanding market may change the way we all enjoy the outdoors!

And don't forget to get your copy of the MJ Event Calendar to make sure you know about the Jeep events happening all across the country!

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 45 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week, Mr. ModernJeeper Corey Osborne & Metalcloak’s Matson Breakey chat Christmas...among so many other things!

2020 is officially our year of vision and focus!

With 2020 in our sights and minds, we talk about winter weather; driving across the loneliest highway in America; why a sheriff on the trail is welcomed; how distracted driving is on the rise; why a local driveshaft manufacturer is awesome; what a Tesla and Prius have in common; why the MJ Event Calendar should be on your wish list; and why you should contact us about your events for 2020!

What we don't talk about are politics, government issues or animal cruelty!

In our Tech Tip of the Week…we discuss the information that already exists...and how our friends from the print magazines have been providing good information for many years...and why you need to continue asking questions on the forums!

This week, Mr. ModernJeeper Corey Osborne & Metalcloak’s Matson Breakey recap this past weekends events, mainly the Jeeps 'N Jingles event that took place in Tucson, AZ.

And of course we have our Tech Tip of the Week… this week we discuss how problem solving really should start with the utmost attention to details, reaching out to those that you trust the most, and why it pays to do a little research before you dive head first off the boat without the tools you need to help make a good diagnosis.

Can you believe this is Episode #43?!

This week Matson Breakey, Mr. Modern Jeeper, Corey Osborne and special guest Mr. Andrew McLaughlin of LetzRoll Offroad talk about all things Jeep! Matson is still home, but recovering well...other than trying to fill the newly created space inside his skull, he is anxious to get back to a regular work schedule!

After recovering from a Thanksgiving holiday trip to Moab, and Matson recovering from a busy day cooking (should he really be cooking?) we get to have Ultra4 racer and offroad shop owner Andrew join us for some insight into all he has going on in the offroad world. We talk about thieves and why they suck; Ultra4 racing vs Dirt Riot; Johnson Valley (home of King of the Hammers); the Jeep Gladiator and why it just works; how a coil over conversion can be done better; and what events to look for in the coming days and weeks.

Another awesome Tech Tip of the Week, where Andrew shares with us some things to think about when Death Wobble is on your mind. And here's a hint: It's all about the touch.

Matson & Corey discuss why there may be too many people at SEMA, why rooftop tent manufacturers have got to be thrilled this year, how the Gladiator is being evolved by users and builders, why the SEMA new product showcase is underwhelming, how new products of the year are judged, why overlanding is the word of the Day, the Roxor invasion, the new Bronco, how 42’s on 28’s is the next new thing, how MEK Magnet has conquered the aluminum JL and JT, and we bump into our friend Woody, the IH8MUD.com guy.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 39 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This is what we will call a Quickie Episode… Corey is on his way back from a whirlwind weekend and we wanted to make sure we got you all caught up before we started ramping up for SEMA… so Corey pulled over into a rest stop on his way through Texas, gave Matson from Metalcloak a call, and they recorded a quickie…

Even in this 30 minute quickie, we still cover lots of ground including why Corey was wheeling with Ian in Tennessee, where you can watch all that happened, checking out shops on the CTI Tour, why competition is healthy, how to find No Judgement Zones, why ModernJeepers are buying Gladiators, what we want to do to idiots who steel Jeeps, why Matson wants a dash-cam, how to meet Jeepers on Instagram and where you can enter to win a Metalcloak JL Suspension.

As a note, the audio on this quickie call is a little off… we appreciate your indulgence.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 37 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week, Mr. ModernJeeper Corey Osborne & Metalcloak’s Matson Breakey recap the weekends events including SkillzDay and Trail Hero, discuss wheeling the San Juan Mountains of Utah, the odd value of Stanley’s Fat Max product line and why Corey was doing the podcast from the New New offices of Outlaw Jeep Adventures in Moab.

Taking advantage of being in Moab, Corey & Matson are joined by Jeremy Rowan, owner, along with his wife Heidi, of Outlaw Jeep Adventures, Moab’s premier Jeep Rental and Adventure Tour company.

Jeremy talks about why he just moved to a New New shop and why it is better then his New Old shop, what his first off road rig was [hint, it was not a Jeep], why he’s totally into Polaris side by sides now, how to always give your customers the best possible experience, how much abuse he puts on his Cloak’d rigs, why his favorite rig to wheel is his Willy’s 3B, how he names his fleet, why he won’t use the movie Gladiator for the Gladiator, how you can test drive a fully Cloak’d Gladiator rental, what he did prior to Outlaw, why his build shop only uses Metalcloak, and why the Gladiator is a completely different rig on and off the trail.

And of course we have our Tech Tip of the Week… this week we discuss with Jeremy tips and tricks to wheeling a Gladiator on the world’s most famous off road trails. Jeremy helps us educate you on fenders and body armor as well as what suspension he is running and what are the most vulnerable spots on the JT.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 36 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week, Mr. ModernJeeper Corey Osborne & Metalcloak’s Matson Breakey take a few moments from their hectic schedules to catch their breath, discuss events past and future and share the limelight with Matson’s neighbor's constantly barking dog.

In the process we learn why you shouldn't skydive next to a freeway, how Jessie Combs made her mark at Off Road Expo, the impact of seeing Metalcloak's Lock-n-Load technology on a Ram Truck, the shocking difference between Uber and Taxi Prices, getting stuck in the sand at Sand Hollow, being a Trail Breaker, and how you can learn how to wheel and see the Blue Angels at the same time.

And of course we have our Tech Tip of the Week… how to not get stuck in sand... it's all about the tire pressure.

You can find helpful links to many of the things we talk about in this episode in the show notes at ModernJeeperShow.com and make sure to check out ModernJeeperAdventures.com for our growing list of upcoming adventures that you hear us talk about.

This week, Mr. ModernJeeper Corey Osborne & Metalcloak's Matson Breakey talk about getting ready for the upcoming Off Road Expo in Pomona, why it is the precursor to SEMA, and what new products Metalcloak will be displaying.

Then we are joined by true ModernJeepers Jim and Deb Kriegshauser (@TrailNut). Jim and Deb are not only great friends of ours, but they have attended three ModernJeeper Adventures this year including our Inaugural Tillamook Run. They travel the country with Orange Julius, their 2012 fully built & Equipped Overlander/Rock Crawler and take every opportunity to film and produce some amazing long form videos under the Trail Nut brand. You can see their video footage of our ModernJeeper Adventures on our Facebook Page.

Jim and Deb share with us how they achieved the dream of traveling the country full time with their 45 foot motor coach and Jeep, how the name Trail Nut came about, how they first learned of Metalcloak, Jim shares what to do if your wife always want to drive your Jeep, what it takes to build a rig like Julius, which of the ModernJeeper Aventures were their favorite, why during the Rubicon Adventure Deb looked like she has rolled in dirt and oil, and how to turn a gift cert for a set of wheels into an excuse to upgrade your whole drivetrain.

And of course we have our Tech Tip of the Week… Jim and Deb, who are true Overlanders, share with us tips about what is truly important when it comes to Overlanding gear, and we discuss the basic survival gear every off roader should have.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 34 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week, Mr. ModernJeeper Corey Osborne & Metalcloak's Matson Breakey catch up about all random things Jeep, Jeepers and Jeeping… and then some.

We discuss how getting things off your chest is good therapy, how smart devices are making us dumb, why Corey may have a self driving Subaru in his family, avoiding Robocalls, is Wall-E a sign of our future, augmented reality and off-roading, being an early adopter, the JT Gladiator Stop Sale order, why Metalcloak takes its time developing new products, Jeep’s marketing campaign and lagging sales, the cancelling of 3 Parks 3 Days, our upcoming Death Valley trip, what Metalcloak is bringing to Off Road Expo and what we can expect to see at SEMA.

And of course we have our Tech Tip of the Week… we hit on sway bars (once again) because of recent threads we saw on social media that continued to spread misinformation about Sway Bars… as well as a video about sway bars that referenced the CTI Trailer.

We also discuss ModernJeeperForum.com and why we continue to support the forum as a best resource for you, the ModernJeeper, and how, if you have a club you are involved in, there are free resources available to you on the forum.

Hello ModernJeepers, Corey here to welcome you to Episode Number 33 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

After a whirlwind month of events, Mr. Modern Jeeper, Corey Osborne, shares with us a few of his thoughts while traveling across the country.

From the monkeys at the Muddy Buddy's event in Ohio, to the Great Smokey Mountains where an Elvis burger might get your taste buds flowing, the events in the East never seem to disappoint!

Sheriff's Jeepfest brought us back to help support a great cause, before we head back north visiting our friends at Clemson 4WD where we check in with the man, the myth and the legend, Mr. Fred Perry. We continue north to coal country and the state of Pennsylvania , where we help out the folks at Famous Reading Outdoors raise some money for Autism!

And of course we have our Tech Tip of the Week… Travel Tips...and how Corey saves a few headaches while driving across the country!

Hello ModernJeepers, Matson with Metalcloak here and welcome to Episode Number 32 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This episode was originally recorded on Tuesday, August 27 just after the Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion and before the upcoming Sheriff’s Jeepfest. Then on Wednesday, August 28, the world learned of the death of Jessi Combs.

As a friend of Jessi’s, Corey thought it would be a good idea to do a tribute episode to her which we recorded that afternoon as Episode number 31. You can hear Corey fighting back the waterworks while telling his stories about his amazing friend.

Needless to say, that delayed the publishing of this episode until this week. So, while the timing of the conversation may be off, Corey & I still had a good time catching up on events, learning about the Chattanooga Choo Choo, how we expect Sheriff’s Jeep Fest to go, and sharing just how big the Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion has become with this week’s guest, Justin Murray, organizer of the event.

Justin shares with us how they revised a dead club, how “open top” fits into their bylaws, what the very first “Invasion” was like, why it seems it has taken on a life of it’s own, what his first and current Jeep is, why he finally broke down and bought a JL, and what he does in real life with Victorian mansions.

And of course we have our Tech Tip of the Week… all about LEDs.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 31 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This is a very special episode. On Tuesday morning, Corey Osborne and Matson Breakey recorded what was intended to be this week’s podcast featuring Mr. Justin Murray of the Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion.

However, on Wednesday morning, August 28, we all learned of the death of Corey’s dear friend, Jessi Combs. 

We decided to record this special episode to share our memories of Jessi, what we know about what happened, and the impact she had on the world. 

Jessi was a true ModernJeeper in every sense of the definition. 

As a note, we always appreciate your thoughts and feedback. Feel free to visit ModernJeeperShow.com and share your memories of Jessi in the comments section.

So, sit back, relax, and share this moment with us on the ModernJeeper Show.

Matson and Corey gush about ModernJeeper Adventure on the Rubicon, what obstacle stopped the Gladiator, teamwork on the trail, how to make Blowtorch Nachos, getting first hand knowledge of the Rubicon Trail in 1947, wheeling with your new found life long friends, why Evo was doing the Rubicon in a Day, doing CTI’s where it’s hot and muddy, taking a day at the 72,000 acre Windrock, paying fees at parks, the cancellation of Cantina for the Con for 2019, CTI donations at the Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion, how to win $5000 in Jeep parts, the dangers of Technology and is there really a Hybrid Jeep Wrangler test mule?

And, of course, we have another great Tech Tip of the Week. This week we share some caveats and ideas about how you should secure your Jeep on your trailer… inspired by a video from Mac’s Tie Downs [video].

In another Random episode Mr. ModernJeeper, Corey Osborne, and Metalcloak’s Matson Breakey go truly random with topics ranging from mental health to tech to events to everything random…

Matson & Corey share random thoughts about corn in Ohio, being distracted while driving, truck drivers and headsets, naming Jeeps, anthropomorphism, unrealistic Facebook expectations, making stress your friend, staying away from the news, how to ignore the internet, trail therapy, using zip ties for trail fixes, the selfishness of the ModernJeeper Adventures, the biggest Jeep museum in the world, how Jeep as solved Death Wobble, why tires do make a difference, and Metalcloak spy shots.

And, of course, we have another random Tech Tip of the Week that is so random, it’s hard to describe here.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 28 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Corey & Matson catch up on recent events and go over Corey’s upcoming six week East Coast CTI Tour. Then they are joined by Cory Moul, who was essentially born into Colorado’s 63 year old Mile-Hi Jeep Club, a club that not only has one of the best organizations we’ve ever seen, but also has one of the largest active paid memberships in the nation. Cory is a five time chairman of All-4-Fun one of the oldest off road events in the world having just finished their 53rd Annual in Buena Vista, Colorado.

Cory shares with us why it takes 200 volunteers to run All-4-Fun, what they’ve learned after 53 years, why change is hard but good, the brilliant idea to use challenge coins for organizing runs, how a local Jeep Dealership was responsible for the formation of the club, what are Patrols and why they were formed, with fires threatening in 2018 how they successfully changed the venue for All-4-Fun only 5 weeks from the event, how to stop political infighting between clubs and groups, how much they’ve raise for the Children’s Burn Camp, how he thinks the CTI trailer should be used to help raise money for causes across the nation, and why, out of five grandkids his late grandad would say he was the smartest.

And of course we have our Tech Tip of the Week… Understanding the domino effect of your upgrade and what you should think about before adding that other part right before a big trip.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 27 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week is another special Flashback Episode. Back when ModernJeeper was just a nascent website and the idea of a podcast was just a whim, I interviewed several industry leaders while at the 2015 Off Road Expo in Pomona, California.

Each interview was about 30 minutes long, and was conducted from a table at Metalcloak’s 20 x 30 booth right in the middle of the show and you can clearly hear all the action going on around us.

In this Flashback Episode, we decided to interview one of Metalcloak’s top jobbers at the time and Texas’ top Jeep builders, Keith and Pauline Jones of Jones Jeep in Marble Falls, Texas. This was a unique interview because Keith and Pauline had just driven their JK’s 1300 miles from Texas to Off Road Expo in Southern California along with an entourage from the Crawler Crew customer club and we thought it would be cool to share their story and their passion.

Keith and Pauline share how they went from being Jeep Builders to Trail Guides, how their shop in a small town of 6500 people attracts customer from all over the state, how they scored a property at the entrance of Hidden Falls Adventure Park to build their new shop, how building Jeeps for local officials can help business, what their favorite Jeep trail is (it’s not one you’ve probably heard of), what dolomite is and why tires like it, how to succeed in the Jeep build business by being selective in what you work on and the products you sell, and what 220 MPH feels like on a Texas drag strip.

Even though this interview was done in 2015, Keith & Pauline are still going strong in the Jeep building business and are about to launch some new initiatives in the coming months. Keep an eye out for what comes next from this enterprising couple of ModernJeepers.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 26 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

In another Random episode Mr. ModernJeeper, Corey Osborne, and Metalcloak's Matson Breakey continue their conversation from last week about Tillamook, the Rubicon and what lies ahead for ModernJeeper Adventures.

As usual, we cover a lot of random topics including why Tillamook reminded us that sometimes you just need to relax, heading to the Rubicon Trail, Jeepers Jamboree vs Jeep Jamboree vs JJ USA, a shoutout to the late Mark Smith, the #CTITour2019 ongoing schedule, why Corey got to drive a $240,000 AMG, how he helped Jeep get a stock Grand Cherokee Trailhawk through the Rubicon, the upcoming "3 Parks, 3 Days in PA", Corey’s favorite trails in Buena Vista, Colorado, what it’s like wheeling at 13,000 feet, and Metalcloak’s Summer Intern Incubator Project.

And, of course, we have another great Tech Tip of the Week. This week we discuss Winches and Winching, what you should know, what to do, and what definitely not to do… it all comes down to safety first.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 25 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week, in a very rare occurrence, Corey is not calling in from the road, but is actually in studio with Matson at Metalcloak World Headquarters in Northern California.

After covering where we’ve been and what Corey’s upcoming CTI Tour Schedule is like (it’s crazy) we are joined by Metalcloak’s media director, and ModernJeeper partner, Scott Becker to talk about the Rubicon trail, Jeepers Jamboree, skateboarding, ultralight backpacking and our upcoming ModernJeeper Adventure on the Rubicon Trail.

And then an unexpected guest crashes the party as Milestar’s Martin Castro just happened to show up at the shop while we were recording the podcast and we couldn’t let him go without bringing him into the conversation.

Martin shares with us what he’s doing in Northern California, why the Patagonia’s perform so well, how the Patogonia’s are easily overcoming the consumer skepticism, why they are going to be the first company with a 40” All Terrain tire for the light truck market and when they are going to have a 42” MT.

And, of course, we have another great Tech Tip of the Week. This week we discuss managing & choosing the extra equipment, tools and spare parts you need when on trail.

In this Flashback Episode, Matson is joined by John Herrick, the man who saved CRAWL Magazine and has successfully published it 6 times a year since resurrecting it in September 2009.

John shares with us how he went from selling toxic loans to Wall Street to owning CRAWL magazine, the basic fundamentals of business success, how to keep your brand engaged, what his favorite trail is (hint it's in West Virginia), why being irrelevant scares him, his favorite Jeep, why your passion grows his passion, how 70 hours a week building the magazine is easy work as long as he's doing it for you, what you should consider if you were going to start your own magazine, what products at Off Road Expo he is most impressed with and the answer to our favorite question of the day… “finish this sentence… Metalcloak Is…”

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 23 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week is all about Patriotism.

In another Random episode Mr. ModernJeeper, Corey Osborne, and Metalcloak's Matson Breakey discuss Independence Day, Patriotism, and what the 4th of July truly means.

Corey and Matson delve into the definition of Patriotism, why you can get just "get it done" in a place like Idaho, loving good old Americana, why it is easier to live in a Nanny state, why Corey thinks Matson need a goat, the strangeness of weather in America, the craziness of the upcoming #CTITour schedule, where Corey is going to be next, why we celebrate Independence on July 4, why signing the Declaration of Independence was like committing suicide, why it would be impossible today, why we're a Republic and not a Democracy, Matson’s Federal City Theory, American patriot Roger Penske and Corey’s Challenge to us all.

This week we forego the popular Tech Tip of the Week so we can share of few memories of the recently lost Kevin Carroll of Red Dot Engineering. A true ModernJeeper who lived his life with standards we should all strive to achieve.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 22 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Corey & Matson have the pleasure of talking with ModernJeeper and Spiderwebshade founder Chris Plaisance.

Chris shares with with us how his first Jeep (which he bought in college) went from daily driver to SEMA show rig to running the Baja 1000, what inspired him to start Spiderwebshade, what is a prototop, why the name Spiderwebshade has nothing to do with spiders, how many Spiderwebshades are around the world now, how print on demand is the future, why you are either the cool guy at events or the one having fun, why ignoring copycats is important, how they’ve changed the way companies market at events, what his two favorite trails are (one is West and one is East), why the OGJL Facebook page is so exclusive and just what is the ShadeBrigade anyway?

Of course we have another great Tech Tip of the week that comes directly from the #CTITour… Sway Bar 101 - what they are, how they work, and why do you want disconnects?

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode Number 19 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Corey & Matson have the extreme pleasure of talking with a friend, a mentor, member of the Off Road Hall of Fame and an all around Jeep Guru, Mr Rick Pewe of JP Magazine fame.

Rick was Editor-In-Chief of Petersen’s 4Wheel Drive for over a decade and now is back at where he started as the lead Jeeper at JP Magazine where he can follow his first love… “all Jeeps, all the time”.

Rick takes us back to his first GPW, how many Jeeps he has owned over the years, what is the essence of the Jeep lifestyle, why are Jeepers so different, what is was liking driving the Gladiator for a month, how he conducted his Gladiator towing test, what his favorite trail is, why he has a much joy wheeling the Andes as wheeling the Sierra’s, the importance of education, what is a CJ-17, how his flip-flops ended up as a tribute on the JL and JT, whose idea it was for Dirt N Drive and why Bestop’s Jim Chick is just as guilty, and finally what is the whole deal with a potential FCA Renault merger.

Of course we have another great Tech Tip of the week and since we are with the guru of buying used Jeeps, we asked Rick to share his tips for buying used.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 17 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week is another special Flashback Episode. Back when ModernJeeper was just a nascent website and the idea of a podcast was just a whim, Matson interviewed several industry leaders while at the 2015 Off Road Expo in Pomona, California.

Each interview was about 30 minutes long, and was conducted from a table at Metalcloak’s 20 x 30 booth right in the middle of the show and you can clearly hear all the action going on around us.

In this Flashback Episode, Matson is joined by Greg Cottrell of Rugged Radios who joined this podcast back in Episode #11.

Off Road Expo 2015 was the first time Rugged had debuted a custom Polaris RZR, and Greg talks about what it took to build the Baja RZR in complete secrecy.

He also shares why he is the guy who created the off road radio industry, what scares him, what you might be surprised to learn about him, what advice he would give any business owner and why, with over a dozen cars in his collection, his son prefers his Cloak’d JK Wrangler. Finally Greg answers the famous question “how would you finish the sentence ‘Metalcloak Is…’”

This week is the special Flashback Episode that we talked about in Episode #8 with Ian Johnson. Back when ModernJeeper was just a nascent website and the idea of a podcast was just a whim Matson had, he interviewed several industry leaders while at the 2015 Off Road Expo in Pomona, California.

Each interview was about 30 minutes long, and was conducted from a table at Metalcloak’s 20 x 30 booth right in the middle of the show and you can clearly hear all the action going on around us.

In this first Bonus Episode, Matson is joined by Ian Johnson and we open up by discussing the recent build Ian did for an American hero and double amputee John Curtain on his show Extreme Off Road - [there is a link to the episode in the show Helpful Links section below].

Then Ian discusses why he tells people he sells ladies underwear, what the greatest misconception is about his job, how a high-school shop teacher ended up on Monster Garage, the only thing that scares him, what it’s like traveling with a semi-pro paintball team, how he handles stress, and how he would finish the sentence “Metalcloak Is…”

As always, ModernJeeper is extremely grateful to our supporters including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios and, of course, Metalcloak.

So, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode number 14 of The ModernJeeper Show…

Hello Modern Jeepers welcome to Episode Number 13 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Mr. ModernJeeper, Corey Osborne, and Metalcloak's Matson Breakey are together in Moab, Utah for the 53rd Annual Easter Jeep Safari.

We have the privilege of doing the show in the famous and iconic Grandpa’s Garage where we interview Grandpa himself, Danny Grimes. Grandpa shares with us why he moved to Moab and how much it has changed over the years, how the famous and free Grandpa’s Garage was started, Grandpa’s rules of civility, favorite trails, favorite Jeeps, why they call the trails out here Slickrock, how not to be stupid on the trails, how they successfully changed the OHV laws in Moab allowing UTVs & Buggies on the road, and why there is a pair of burned men’s underwear on the wall of the Garage.

And we even get a pop-in visit from one of our great friends and ModernJeeper partners.

Of course we have another great Tech Tip of the week directly from Grandpa’s experience with the thousands who have come through his bay doors… the number one failure of most off-roaders.

As a note, we have posted several pictures Grandpa’s Garage on the notes page of this episode which you can find at ModernJeeperShow.com.

As always we are extremely grateful to our partners including Raceline Wheels, Warn Winches, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios and, of course, Metalcloak.

Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode Number 12 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Mr. ModernJeeper, Corey Osborne, and Metalcloak's Matson Breakey embark on another “Random Show” as they discuss everything Jeep including who is Catie Mean, how to live your life in a Jeep, the concept Gladiators coming to Moab, how the Launch Edition did on 4x4 Day, what it takes to prepare for an event, why they are so good at last minute details but lousy at long term planning, how big of a rig can get on the CTI trailer, getting tech help on ModernJeeper Forum, how the new Milestar XT’s did on the CTI Truck, why you might see the Metalcloak Owners Club at events, and why the best part of Jeep Beach might just be Caribbean Jack’s Banana’s Foster.

Hello Modern Jeepers, Matson here, and welcome to Episode Number 11 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Mr. ModernJeeper, Corey Osborne, is once again on the road, hanging out at Arby’s, and discussing the upcoming Unlimited Off Road Expo in Texas, the Jeep Gladiator pricing and their $100,000 Launch Edition giveaway, and what we expect to see at Easter Jeep Safari this year.

Then we are joined by the owner of Rugged Radios, Mr. Greg Cottrell. We break down his 25 year career in the communications business, how he was born into the off-road industry, why you absolutely would hate living where he lives, why he’s looking forward to street tacos and coffee, why the engine in his ’32 really isn’t, how his life experiences influence his builds, what he truly thinks of the Gladiator, what UHF, VHF and GMRS is and which one he is betting the future on, why the world is evolving away from CB, how his eyesight affected his life, and what really makes Rugged Radios the standout company it is.

And, of course, we have another great Tech Tip of the Week. Greg helps us understand antennas and how to go about tuning your antenna, CB or radio, with a SWR Meter.

As always we are extremely grateful to our partners including Raceline Wheels, Warn Winches, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios and, of course, Metalcloak.

This week Mr. ModernJeeper, Corey Osborne, and Matson Breakey of Metalcloak recount last weekends events including Crawling for Reid and the sold out Metalcloak Stampede, Corey’s Tough Mudder experience and why Arby’s had an impact on our lives.

Then we are joined by Milestar Tires’ Andrew Hoit to discuss his 25 year tire career, how he became a tire geek, how he spent $2 Million on Porsche’s, understanding tire durometer and compounds, the real challenge in making a 40” tire, why Milestar is called a Tier 3 company with a Tier 2 product, what is a black label tire, personal career management & decision making, what his favorite personal Jeep has been, why he went from four jeeps in his stable to only two, and what Club 3633 is all about.

Hello Modern Jeepers, Matson here, and welcome to Episode Number 9 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week is a little different… this week we are having what is best described as a Random Show… which means there is no guest, there is no agenda, there is no primary topic… there is only the random thoughts and ideas and discussions between Corey and I about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers… and the stuff we think is cool, interesting and worth sharing.

We hope you enjoy this random discussion that includes smoking winches, breaking into the off road industry, and why Corey was with two guys and a bucket of lube in the tire shop.

And, of course, we have another great Tech Tip of the Week. If you tow a trailer, you’ll want to listen to this one.

As always we are extremely grateful to our partners including Raceline Wheels, Warn Winches, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios and, of course, Metalcloak.

Hello Modern Jeepers and welcome to Episode Number 8 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week we have the awesome pleasure of interviewing Ian Johnson, the 14 year host of Extreme 4x4 and Extreme Offroad.

Corey and Matson talk with Ian about what made him want to wrench on cars for a living, why it takes 9000 hours to become a mechanic in Canada, why he’ll always be a tranny guy, how to keep a shop class interested, what he learned from Dead Santa, how he won over Pirate 4x4, why the analytics of TV just don’t make sense anymore, why he is torn on his favorite build and where he would go if he could wheel anywhere.

Finally we will share with you our TechTip of the Week and get some great advice from Ian on the best equipment for Trail Welds.

Hello Modern Jeepers and welcome to Episode Number 7 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers. 

This week we have a true legend in the world of the ModernJeeper… RockCrawling Champion, Ultra4 Racer, and Serial Entrepreneur Larry McRae.

Corey and Matson get a chance to touch base with an old friend who just doesn’t understand what it means to retire. We talk with Larry about how he started off roading, why his first vehicle mod had only three wheels, how he obtained the best record ever in rock crawling championships, how he wheeled the Hammers on 33’s, why he made the leap to resuscitate Poison Spyder Customs, how to throw a tattoo party, and why retirement means buying another Jeeping business. 

Finally we will share with you our TechTip of the Week and get some great advice from Larry on the first questions to ask. 

As always we are extremely grateful to our partners including Raceline Wheels, Warn Winches, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios and, of course, Metalcloak.

We even talk about some of his favorite trails…

Finally we will share with you our TechTip of the Week where Lee gives us some great insight on what it takes to care for the softop on your rig, including some info about the fabrics used, caring for the zippers and the windows as well…
