The ModernJeeper Show, Ep. 106 – Chris Carter of Forged 4×4 & How to Give Away an $80,000 Jeep
Podcast March 4, 2021 ModernJeeper
Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode 106 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.
Matson is going solo this week as Corey & Jessy are on the incredible ModernJeeper Adventures in Death Valley, but they did provide us with a little message that we’re going to share with you. As a solo act, Matson decided to share some news about Moab, about being involved and how he stumbled into the off road industry twelve years ago, including a brief history of Metalcloak’s origins and how you can find your way into the Jeep business too.

Then we are joined by Chris Carter of Forged 4×4, the phenomenal new company that is following the model of RestoMods and TunerCult by building an awesome 4×4 rig and then giving it away. Forged does it with a twist by adding an entertaining membership program that automatically gives you entries in conjunction with an eCommerce site selling goods and each purchase nets you more entries. Chris shares with us what it takes to build the rigs, how often they plan on giving one away, what rigs they have planned in the future (you’re gonna love this), how many members are part of Forged 4×4, why he gets emotionally attached to the rigs they build, testing tools and equipment for the sale side, creating a world-class eCommerce store, being overland focused, and the great veteran focused charity that benefits from it all.
As a note… there may be times in the audio recording where you are wondering “what the F is going on” – well, all of it can be seen in it’s full glory [where it might just make more sense] at YouTube.com/modernjeeper
As always, we are extremely grateful to our supporters including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios, Adventure Rack Systems, and, of course, Metalcloak.
So, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode 106 of The ModernJeeper Show…
