Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 57 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers. 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...

Unreal. We are all still coming to grips with this news...

Those that know me will know that this goes against everything that is extreme offroad to me…but I need to explain. First off, the guys at RockHard 4×4 make an amazing product. I’ve known these guys for a LONG time and in fact, have run a number of their products over the years. I think I met...

Actions Speak Louder Than Words Let’s say you’re on a trail ride with your club/friends, and someone throws a cigarette butt out the window. Or how about “that guy” you see who keeps driving by trail trash leaving it for you to pick up? What do you do? What if you’re camping with your...

On March 11, the Red Rock 4 Wheelers, hosts of the Annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah, issued the following statement: "The Grand County council [where Moab is located] is putting forth an emergency ordinance limiting attendance at special events. A careful review of the attendance limits...

ModernJeeper team Del & Stacie Albright attended this amazing event (some 10 years ago) and were super-impressed with everyone involved. They still talk about Alaska and the big rigs and Moose Buggies. Some of the folks use their 4x4's for hunting rigs as well -- especially when after moose...

Texas-style racing came to King of the Hammers this year with a new race rig, #4659 “Manche”, in the 4600 class of the Every Man Challenge race! I met Donnie and Alexandra Kehlenbeck at my first Dirt Riot race in Katemcy, Texas at Wolf Caves Offroad park. As husband and wife they raced together...

What are you willing to sacrifice? It’s time to turn up your inner Jeeper. This is probably the most important message you’ll ever hear about the off-pavement, overlanding, Jeeping, adventure-based lifestyle. It’s about trust! Have you asked yourself just who you (really) trust to spot your...

In last week’s episode, Matson and I 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...

Jeeps are cool, but have you seen these Cadillacs? As you head into the city of Amarillo, Texas, you may pass by this fun tourist trap. Back in 1974, ten Cadillacs were placed in the ground nose-side down to represent the Golden Age of the Automobile and show off the evolving tail fins. As time...

There is a long tradition in this country of applying names to inanimate objects. Tin Lizzie, you may recall, was the nickname given to Ford’s Model T. Some people still use the term when referring to their car. During World War II, pilots and troops would regularly give a name to their vehicle...

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 54 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers! With the events that took place on a lakebed in Johnson Valley, California about two weeks ago still on our minds, this week we are taking a look back at the King of the...
