The ModernJeeper Show – Episode 8 – Ian Johnson, the man who “wrenches his junk” on TV
Podcast March 14, 2019 ModernJeeper

Hello Modern Jeepers and welcome to Episode Number 8 of The ModernJeeper Show… the show about Jeeps, Jeeping and Jeepers.
This week we have the awesome pleasure of interviewing Ian Johnson, the 14 year host of Extreme 4×4 and Extreme Offroad.
Corey and Matson talk with Ian about what made him want to wrench on cars for a living, why it takes 9000 hours to become a mechanic in Canada, why he’ll always be a tranny guy, how to keep a shop class interested, what he learned from Dead Santa, how he won over Pirate 4×4, why the analytics of TV just don’t make sense anymore, why he is torn on his favorite build and where he would go if he could wheel anywhere.
Finally we will share with you our TechTip of the Week and get some great advice from Ian on the best equipment for Trail Welds.
As always, ModernJeeper is extremely grateful to our supporters including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios and, of course, Metalcloak.
So, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode number 8 of The ModernJeeper Show…
