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 

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 108 of The ModernJeeper Show…

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. 

As a note… there may be times in the audio recording where you are wondering “what the F is going on” - well, all of it can be seen in it’s full glory [where it might just make more sense] at YouTube.com/modernjeeper

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.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 105 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Matson, Corey & Jessy start the show talking about being friends with the trashman, burning snow, and overcoming Matson’s jealousy that he’s not going to Death Valley this year. 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).

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 104 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Jessy has returned from freezing her ass off in Oklahoma, but gaining long blonde locks… to join Corey & Matson as they catch up on all things Jeep. Corey shares a very cool story about Facebook Marketplace and his mom’s house, while Matson takes a few moments to remember the late Rush Limbaugh… then we get a status update on all things ModernJeeper Adventures... including what events are sold out and what events are in the works. 

We are joined by our good friend 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, the crazy cold weather, and what 2021 is going to be like for the independent shops & companies… then he answers our rapid fire questions… favorite trail, favorite mod under $500, and his dream license plate.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 103 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week, while Jessy is freezing back home in Oklahoma, Corey & Matson are catching up on all things Jeep… and then some… including being always “on” vs always off, how 2020 turned out to be the year of vision and clarity we were promised, the 2021 King of the Hammers, the Cougar Buttes Drone Master, pro racers running out of fuel, Lite Brite’s legit finish, the new 4600 Class Factory Racing Broncos, racing in the EV Class, Jeep’s Superbowl ad and the secret to eating applesauce with a peel off lid. 

We share our Gadgets of the Week… kind of… and we dive deep into what we are looking forward to for this years ModernJeeper Adventure Death Valley.

As a note, in last week’s episode, at the time of the recording the Moab Easter Jeep Safari was at cancelled status… but the town was open. By February 5, the story had changed to be a cancelled vendor show but complete line up of guided trails. Check the link in our show notes at ModernJeeperShow.com for more details.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 102 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week, Corey, Jessy and Matson tackle few hot and heavy topics including our mutual responsibilities as off-roaders, saving our public lands from ourselves, the growing and never-ending responsibility to educate new additions to the Jeeping lifestyle, and what is really happening in Moab… is there an Easter Jeep Safari 2021 or not?

And we share some notes about the new Ford Bronco. Well, more like a text message or two directly from the lakebed of Johnson Valley where they are on display at the King of the Hammers.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 101 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week we are all back in our regular locations...Matson at the headquarters in California and Jessy and myself back in Colorado. 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!

 [Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast, Stitcher, or your favorite Podcast Player.]

As always, if you want to "watch" the show in it’s entirety you can find it at YouTube.com/modernjeeper

We did it! We did it because of you...our listeners, followers and fans! You are all the reason we do what we do!

As Matson said last week, we are humbled by each our you and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!

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.

As we enter into our second 100 episodes, we are extremely grateful to our partner companies  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 number 100 of The ModernJeeper Show…

With a new year upon us, Corey, Jessy and Matson decided to share their New Years Resolutions with you, our friends, our listeners.

Interspersed with the Resolutions, they take random walks around goals, dreams, and life including solving the world’s problems, pessimism vs optimism, how 2020 looked for ModernJeeper, our upcoming 100th episode, Disney+ and Cutting the Cord, events in 2021, King of the Hammers, inserting the word TRY into your vernacular, procrastination and dopamine boosts, gamify-ing your life, and Metalcloak’s 2021 “I Resolve to Jeep” Giveaway.
