Hello ModernJeepers and 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, a 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 Editor-In-Chief 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 it was liking driving the Gladiator for a month, how he conducted his Gladiator towing test, what his favorite trail is, why he has as 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.

As always, ModernJeeper is extremely grateful to our supporters including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios and, of course, Metalcloak.
