The ModernJeeper Show, Ep. 86 – Colin McLemore of Mac’s Custom Tie Downs on Hanging Jeeps, Wheeling Idaho and Not Crossing Straps

Hello ModernJeepers, welcome to Episode Number 86 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Matson catches up with Corey and Jessy as they are getting ready for Trail Hero in Hurricane, Utah and Matson is, once again, stuck back at Metacloak world headquarters launching the new Adventure Rack Systems brand.

Then they are joined by Colin McLemore, founder of Mac’s Custom Tie Downs. Colin shares what it was like  growing up in the South Pacific, how riding BMX started the path at led to starting Mac’s at 26, the Mac’s pin up girl, why five years selling magazine ads for street rodder was the best business education, rebranding with the Monster energy guy, the black box, risking it all on a hanging jeep, his first Jeep that was not a Jeep, why his favorite trails are tied to childhood memories and wheeling in Idaho. 

And, of course, we have our TechTip of the week… since we have the master in the house we ask the age old question “to cross or not to cross” and Colin shares four reasons why we shouldn’t.

Finally Corey shares the keyword of the week for our ongoing Podcast Giveaway – rules are in the show notes.

As always, ModernJeeper is 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 number 86 of The ModernJeeper Show…
