The Show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers, hosted by Metalcloak’s Matson Breakey, Mr. ModernJeeper and industry insider, Corey Osborne and RockStar Jeep Girl Jessy Greenland.
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.

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 24 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 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.
So, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode number 23 of The ModernJeeper Show…

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?
As always we are extremely grateful to our partners including Raceline Wheels, Warn Winches, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios and, of course, Metalcloak.
So, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode number 22 of The ModernJeeper Show…

This week is another Random episode as Mr. ModernJeeper, Corey Osborne, and Metalcloak's Matson Breakey catch up after a couple weeks of whirlwind activities, events and just plain busyness.

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.

Finally Greg answers the famous question “how would you finish the sentence ‘Metalcloak Is…’”
