Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode Number 82 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.
This week Matson, Corey and Jessy catch up about Matson’s 50th Birthday Party, the new self proclaimed Wrangler Killer (no, its not the Bronco), 7 year old competitors at the WE Rock Grand Nationals, Ultra 4 Racing in Moab and the upcoming Palo Duro Challenge.
Then they are joined by Steve Sasaki, founder of Power Tank and the original creator of the CO2 tire inflation product category.
Steve not only talks about inventing a new product category and what it is like to stumble into a product idea, but he shares what it really took to build it right… from understanding regulators to the most difficult part of a power tank to manufacture - I bet you can’t guess that one.
This truly is a Gas 101 episode — Steve takes us on an educational journey into understanding Ideal Gas Law, why he chose CO2 over Nitrogen or Air, why you want a high flow rate, what he means by usable energy, why CO2 maintains head pressure, and why you shouldn’t ever waste your money on nitrogen for your tires.
And he shares some stories about how hanging out with the right crowd can be a key to starting a new business.
As always, we are extremely grateful to our supporters including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios, KMS Adventure Rack Systems and, of course, Metalcloak.

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.
With Matson just playing catch up from celebrating his Big "5 oh" birthday yesterday, we talk about the smoke and fires across the West; the Wrangler 4xe hybrid; solar charging on the trail; electric vehicle technology; why Matson needs a "Rosie"; the new luxury Jeep Grand Wagoneer; why following google maps offroad is bad; and about how you can get your favorite event on the ModernJeeper Calendar.
There are still a lot of events coming up all over the country including the W.E. Rock Grand Nationals in Cedar City, Utah this weekend, an Ultra4 race in Moab next weekend, Trail Hero in Sand Hollow, Utah, and many others...so hopefully you ModernJeepers are getting out and enjoying some dirt opportunities!

While Jessy is back in Oklahoma for a few days, this week Matson catches up with Corey who just got home after finishing a few weeks on the road following the Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion.
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.
So, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode number 80 of The ModernJeeper Show…

This week Matson catches up with Corey and Jessy as they return from the Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. After 3 full days of an amazing show and event, we jump right into doing our first podcast AND video recording! So if you have been listening to our podcasts and have been wanting something more, stay tuned for this episode to be released with video! We jump into the technology of the upcoming plug-in hybrid Wrangler 4xe; the new RAM truck, the TRX; why the TRX doesn't have a "hellcat" motor; the upcoming Bronco and why shops may jump on straight axle conversions.
We have another great Tech Tip of the Week where we talk about valve stems, air down tools and what to think about when you buy your wheels.
On this day exactly one year ago, we lost an amazing and very special person to so very many of us. We hope that you take a few minutes to reflect and remember the racer, welder, wheeler and very loved friend, Ms. Jessi Combs.

Ep. 78 - Jobber Spotlight: Jeff Arabia of Arabia's Overkill Jeep Fabrication - Jeeps, Top Truck Challenge & Fixing Engines with Bailing Wire
Aug 20, 2020
Show notes
Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode Number 78 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.
This week Matson catches up with Corey and Jessy as they are getting ready for this weekend’s Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. They discuss the fate of Off Road Expo, the awesome new Dodge Ram TRX, and how much money is flowing during this unprecedented time.
Then they are joined by the always entertaining Jeff Arabia of Arabia’s Overkill just outside of San Jose, California. Jeff shares with us why his first instinct is to cut a rig in half, figuring out customers, how he started 30 years ago with only $1300 in his pocket, why doing recovery during Top Truck Challenge was insanely exciting, why his vacations are not really, what the hell is a polapa, earning his Red Mechanics jacket at Jeepers Jamboree, shaving his wife’s head, and how to use bailing wire and wine corks to repair a hydro locked engine.
And we have another great Tech Tip of the Week — Understanding Sway Bars and why people are still confused about them… what it’s for… and why Jeep dealers simply ignore teaching anyone anything.

Scott shares with us the challenge of choosing between cash and whiskey, Lolly the Jeep, being “Ducked” vs the Handi-Corn, starting OCD off road, going from engineering as a career to marketing to building Jeeps, customers doing the COVID-19 pow wow in the parking lot, why he misses Virginia’s redneck roots, wheeling the Cove, East Coast Granite, doing the TAT and his favorite mod under $100.
And we have another great Tech Tip of the Week — Understanding Jeep body armor, it’s purpose and how to choose what you need - including helpful tips on using it as a tool for better wheeling.
So, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode number 77 of The ModernJeeper Show…
