Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode #176 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

Jessy’s back at the ModernJeeper Compound joining Corey and Matson for another great episode…

[Watch on YouTube] [Listen on Buzzsprout] [Listen on Spotify] [Listen on Apple]

They talk about Jeepers Jamboree, All for Fun, GAIA vs others, to share your secret trail or not, and the ModernJeeper Adventures Fall Death Valley Trip.

Then they are joined by a very special ModernJeeper, Tony Carvallo… the man who saved the Wrangler. Tony shares with the show his story including how he came to truly love Jeeps, getting his first job at Jeep during the time of the TJ, building the Ram Runner, Blue Crush and the Storm Trooper as part of Mopar Underground, and how fixing Jeeps on the side got him the greatest job of all time (and the hardest) overseeing the design and development of the JL Wrangler.

Tony also shares why he jumped ship to Dynatrac after the launch of the JL, how he ended up at Bestop and what his next very special adventure will be.

After 23 years of corporate life, I decided to pursue my passions in the off road industry. Specializing in marketing, visibility, relationship and brand building, and acting as MetalCloak's field marketing representative, I have travelled across the country (quite a few times!) using Metalcloak’s CTI (Corner Travel Index) to educate the off road enthusiast. I have also worked with Jeep Jamboree USA as event staff, to provide additional value and education to its participants. I've been fortunate enough to work with both international as well as domestic media; have attended most of the off-road events across our country; and have driven a wide variety of vehicles. I'm a certified PADI scuba instructor and have a BS in Computer Science.
