Hello Modern Jeepers welcome to Episode Number 10 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.

This week Mr. ModernJeeper, Corey Osborne, and Matson Breakey of Metalcloak recount last weekends events including Crawling for Reid and the sold out Metalcloak Stampede, Corey’s Tough Mudder experience and why Arby’s had an impact on our lives.

Then we are joined by Milestar Tires’ Andrew Hoit to discuss his 25 year tire career, how he became a tire geek, how he spent $2 Million on Porsche’s, understanding tire durometer and compounds, the real challenge in making a 40″ tire, why Milestar is called a Tier 3 company with a Tier 2 product, what is a black label tire, personal career management & decision making, what his favorite personal Jeep has been, why he went from four jeeps in his stable to only two, and what Club 3633 is all about.

And, of course, we have another great Tech Tip of the Week. Since we have the tire guru at our disposal, we ask him to teach us all about load ratings… and the answer may not be what you expect.

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