Ep. 78 - Jobber Spotlight: Jeff Arabia of Arabia's Overkill Jeep Fabrication - Jeeps, Top Truck Challenge & Fixing Engines with Bailing Wire
Hello ModernJeepers welcome to Episode Number 78 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 this weekend’s Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. They discuss the fate of Off Road Expo, the awesome new Dodge Ram TRX, and how much money is flowing during this unprecedented time.
Then they are joined by the always entertaining Jeff Arabia of Arabia’s Overkill just outside of San Jose, California. Jeff shares with us why his first instinct is to cut a rig in half, figuring out customers, how he started 30 years ago with only $1300 in his pocket, why doing recovery during Top Truck Challenge was insanely exciting, why his vacations are not really, what the hell is a polapa, earning his Red Mechanics jacket at Jeepers Jamboree, shaving his wife’s head, and how to use bailing wire and wine corks to repair a hydro locked engine.
And we have another great Tech Tip of the Week — Understanding Sway Bars and why people are still confused about them… what it’s for… and why Jeep dealers simply ignore teaching anyone anything.
As always, ModernJeeper is extremely grateful to our supporters including Warn Winches, Raceline Wheels, Bestop, Milestar Tires, Rugged Radios, KMS Adventure Racks, and, of course, Metalcloak.
So, sit back, relax with a cold one, and enjoy Episode number 78 of The ModernJeeper Show…
