Hello Modern Jeepers and welcome to Episode Number 8 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers. This week we have the awesome pleasure of interviewing Ian Johnson, the 14 year host of Extreme 4x4 and Extreme Offroad.Corey and Matson talk with Ian about what made him want to wrench on cars for a living, why it takes 9000 hours to become a mechanic in Canada, why he’ll always be a tranny guy, how to keep a shop class interested, what he learned from Dead Santa, how he won over Pirate 4x4, why the analytics of TV just don’t make sense anymore, why he is torn on his favorite build and where he would go if he could wheel anywhere.Finally we will share with you our TechTip of the Week and get some great advice from Ian on the best equipment for Trail Welds.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 8 of The ModernJeeper Show…-------Mentioned in this episode:ModernJeeper AdventuresCorner Travel Index (CTI)LinexRacline Trailer WheelsMilestar StarsCrawling for ReidIan JohnsonOff Road ExpoBonus EpisodeASE Certification1985 CJ7Spring Over360 SwapTorque Command 999 TransmissionRTMExtreme 4x4Nelson RatingsDigital LugHands on Cars / Kevin TateKenny Hauk / Hauk MachinesBig Tire Garage / Ian JohnsonCloakworks 4x4Shop TruckEaster Jeep SafariPritchett CanyonCane CreekRusty NailSand hollowDixie 4 Wheel DriveAdventure Off Road ParkAOAAField And ForestGreat American Jeep RallyHot Springs Off Road ParkHammers (Johnson Valley)Peyson ArizonaAndrew McLaughlin (Letz Roll Off Road)Holy Cross21 RoadsDiesel Powered Suzuki715 Kaiser Moab RimPremier Power Welder#10 Shield
