Modern Jeeper hit the road again for the second portion of this year’s events across the country. The first trip of the year took us through the lower portion of the states, along the Gulf as we made our way to Jeep Beach in Daytona Beach, Florida. This next loop kept us a little bit further north as we travelled to Louisville, Kentucky for the 2nd Annual Unlimited Off-Road Expo. More great people, more great offroad shops and more heat and weather as we covered about 3200 miles from Colorado to the Midwest.

Our first stop was in Topeka, Kansas where we met up with Mike at 4×4 Land. Much more than just an off road store…they have a HUGE supply of axles (Mike tries to keep around 200 on hand!) and other hard to find parts that you might struggle to find elsewhere. Having been in business over 13 years, operating from a 4,000 sq ft showroom and a 10,000 sq ft facility, these guys can take care of most or your wildest build dreams. You can also find them on Facebook at FB 4X4 Land.

The guys at HellBent Performance, Zane and Tommy in Chesterfield, Missouri, can not only take care of your truck and jeep builds but they also have a full service firearms shop inside the offroad showroom! These guys are the real deal…whether you want to talk Carli suspensions on full size trucks, building that new JK, survival in the outdoors or needing some more home protection…these guys can help. Hit them up on Facebook at HellBent Facebook Page.

Clean. Jeremy at V3 Jeep Shop in Louisville, Kentucky has one of the cleanest shops around. Specializing in quality repair and restoration work, this 13,000 sq ft facility can handle your project with care.

While we were there, I counted 4 vehicles inside the showroom, a few projects in the carpeted restoration area and most of the lifts in the shop being used…return customers, word of mouth, and a great staff are helping this shop succeed! You can find them on Facebook at V3 Facebook

The 2nd Annual Unlimited Offroad Expo in Louisville, Kentucky begins….Rockbouncers, vendor show, cave tour and parade, Ultra4 action and more pictures…stay tuned for Part 2!

After 23 years of corporate life, I decided to pursue my passions in the off road industry. Specializing in marketing, visibility, relationship and brand building, and acting as MetalCloak's field marketing representative, I have travelled across the country (quite a few times!) using Metalcloak’s CTI (Corner Travel Index) to educate the off road enthusiast. I have also worked with Jeep Jamboree USA as event staff, to provide additional value and education to its participants. I've been fortunate enough to work with both international as well as domestic media; have attended most of the off-road events across our country; and have driven a wide variety of vehicles. I'm a certified PADI scuba instructor and have a BS in Computer Science.
