In this thrilling episode of the Jeep Talk Show, we sit down with Brian, the mastermind behind JCR Offroad—a legendary Jeep armor brand that started in his mom’s 20x20 garage. From humble beginnings in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to leading a powerhouse in American-made, enthusiast-driven products, Brian’s story is one of grit, faith, and off-road passion. Join us as we dive into: How JCR Offroad (yes, it stands for "Jesus Christ Rocks") grew from a college side hustle to a 22-year legacy. The secrets behind their top-quality Jeep Cherokee, Gladiator, and JL products—and why they’re built to last. The hilarious marketing stunts (Handicorn, anyone?) that set JCR apart in a sea of knockoffs. The challenges of battling cheap Chinese copies and staying true to their off-road roots. A sneak peek into JCR’s new podcast, Lean By Doing, and their game-changing approach to lean manufacturing. Brian also shares personal anecdotes—like building bumpers in his mom’s garage with a plasma cutter and a bottle jack—and how JCR continues to innovate while keeping customers at the heart of everything they do.
