In this interview, we sit down with Monica Kolinsky, the founder of MEK Magnet and creator of Removable Trail Armor. Monica shares her journey from buying her first Jeep in 2015, diving straight into off-roading, to inventing a game-changing product after one too many trail scratches ruined her brand-new paint.

    6 FÉVR.

    Jeep JL/JT Aux Battery Destroying Your Main Battery? Here's Why

    South Carolina got a taste of snow... but Southeast Texas turned it into a full wonderland meltdown! 😅 In this episode of the Jeep Talk Show, we're diving deep into a super common headache for JL Wrangler & JT Gladiator owners: the dreaded **dual battery fail** on my 2021 Jeep Gladiator. We cover: - Why the tiny hidden **aux battery** acts like a vampire, sucking life from your main battery and leaving you stranded with clicks but no crank - The sneaky symptoms: wild SOC swings on monitors, dim lights, "Start/Stop Unavailable" warnings, and mystery dead trucks - Busting the big myth — does permanently disabling auto start/stop (via Tazer or button) stop the aux from charging? (Spoiler: No, it's a myth! Alternator still tops both up while driving.) - Real-world fix: Pulling **fuse 42**, disconnecting the aux negative, and going single-battery mode — rock solid ever since, no more surprises! - Main battery swap walkthrough: EverStart Platinum AGM H7 from Walmart, pro tips (take photos of connections!, clean posts, wait 5 mins for BCM relearn, final walk-around to avoid tools in the fan 😬) - Aux battery horror: Buried under the passenger wheel well — wheel-off method is way easier than fighting the fuse box from the top - Should you replace the aux every time? Pros/cons of keeping stock ESS vs. deleting it (plus shoutout to Genesis Off-Road dual battery box upgrade) - Bonus: Ancel BM200 Bluetooth monitor saved the day by catching low SOC dips early — highly recommend for $25! - Guest insights from April on her repeated aux/main replacements, heat effects in the South, and why short drives kill these batteries faster Whether you're dealing with no-start nightmares, debating the aux delete, or just hate the ESS jolt at every light — this is the real-world guide you need.

  4. Defeat Devices, Criminal Charges & The New EPA Reality

    29 JANV.

    Defeat Devices, Criminal Charges & The New EPA Reality

    All right, we're back with April on the Jeep Talk Show! Tony kicks things off with a funny brain fog moment from last time (Amber? April? 😂), but he's feeling sharp now. We dive deep into real Jeep owner concerns: towing safely vs. illegally, why unsafe setups can wreck your Jeep (or worse), and the latest EPA/DOJ news that has diesel Jeep owners buzzing. In this episode: - **Towing tips & traps** — Exceeding GCWR/towing capacity, trailer brakes (required in most states like Texas!), improper hitch geometry after lifts, missing lights/chains, overloaded tires, passengers in trailers (illegal in 34+ states!), and why those trailer tire blowouts happen way too often. - **Real stories** — Flat-towing an XJ behind a Gladiator? Overheating issues, brake controllers, disconnecting driveshafts, and the insane costs ($1,500–$3,000+ for braking systems). Plus, crossed safety chains explained (prevents tongue pole-vaulting!). - **EPA bombshell (Dec 2025/Jan 2026 update)** — DOJ announces no more *criminal* prosecutions for OBD2 tampering & defeat devices (DPF/EGR/DEF deletes) under the Clean Air Act. Still illegal (civil fines possible, state laws vary—watch out CA/TX!), but huge relief for EcoDiesel Wrangler/Gladiator owners. We break down past FCA/Stellantis $800M+ settlements and why this shift matters. - **Weather chat & life stuff** — Surviving (or missing) Snowmageddon/ice storms, why Tony loves The Weather Channel, shoutout to trusted independent forecaster Chris Jackson, prepper vibes, and why sensationalized forecasts drive him nuts. - **Deeper talks** — Standing up for what you believe (no selling out!), doing what you love even if others already do it, AI B-roll fun on the show, and why the Jeep community keeps us going after 16+ years. Timestamps: If you're towing with your Wrangler, Gladiator, or any Jeep—don't miss this one. Stay legal, stay safe, and enjoy the ride!

The highlight? All about the **10th Annual Silver Lake Sand Dunes Jeep Invasion** – Michigan's premier Jeep event! - **Dates:** May 28–31, 2026 (weekend after Memorial Day) - **Location:** Golden Township Park, Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Mears, MI – the ONLY dunes you can drive east of the Mississippi! - Massive parade of 1,000+ Jeeps rolling to the dunes for that iconic "money shot" lineup on the sand. - Vendors (Teraflex, Rigid, yankum ropes, M2/DS18 audio, and more), killer food (barbecue, Greek, elephant ears), DJ rave with lights and neon, show & shine, trail rides, playground for kids, and pure Jeep family fun. - Requirements: Air down to ~10 PSI, ORV/recreation permits, whip flag for safety, and register your ride (one ticket per vehicle – includes a t-shirt!). - Register early at: https://www.slsdjeepinvasion.com/ - Follow on Facebook/Instagram: @SLSDJeepInvasion (12K+ followers for updates, videos, and tips) Whether you're a hardcore wheeler, a weekend warrior, or just love the Jeep lifestyle, this event is a must-attend.

    Join us for another fun Jeep Talk Show interview! We're catching up with Ryan from Gladius Off-Road (yes, it's spelled G-L-A-D-I-U-S Off-Road) — returning guest from our October 2024 episode. If you missed the first one, search "Gladius Off-Road Crafting Unique Jeep Emblems" right here on the channel! In this chat, Ryan dives deep into his Mopar-licensed, USA-made custom emblems for Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator — over 150 designs in hundreds of colors! We cover everything from layered 3D acrylic badges (with that awesome shadow effect and detail), retro styles, motor emblems (like 392 HEMI), club patches, and even custom engraving/topography options coming soon. Big updates since last time: - New Doors-Off Mirror Bracket: Billet aluminum, RAM ball mount compatible (use cheap ATV/motorcycle mirrors ~$27), fully adjustable, no vibration, doubles as a GoPro/light mount when doors are on! - Tailgate prop brackets (the unbreakable billet upgrade) - Plans for a revamped Shopify site with dealer connections (like Underground Graphics), more off-road gear from small makers, install tools, and a mini-marketplace vibe. Ryan shares the origin story (the name comes from the Roman gladiator sword — he admits he kinda hates it now 😂), why everything's made-to-order (most orders ship next day!), custom design process (vectors preferred!), hat patches with multi-layer acrylic logos, quick lead times, and future ideas like engraved flags, more motor badges (4.0, stroker builds), and maybe even Gladiator gas cap covers.

  7. The 4xe Experiment Ends: What Comes Next?

    15 JANV.

    The 4xe Experiment Ends: What Comes Next?

    Join Tony and April on the **Jeep Talk Show** flagship episode for a casual, fun catch-up chat after a three-week break! In this laid-back discussion, they dive into hot Jeep topics, share personal takes, and keep the laughs rolling. Key highlights include: - **Jeep's discontinuation of the 4xe plug-in hybrid models** (Wrangler and Grand Cherokee) for 2026 – why it doesn't bother April (old-school simplicity wins), range anxiety fears, charging challenges in rural areas, and how PHEVs sometimes traded capability for electrification quirks. - **Mud Terrain (MT) tires vs. lockers** – which upgrade to prioritize first? They agree: go tires first for better overall traction (rocks, mud, emergencies), then add lockers. April shares her approach of testing without lockers first to learn the Jeep's limits and reduce drivetrain stress. - **Ham radio vs. GMRS for emergency/off-road comms** – Tony questions if ham is phasing out with modern tech (satellites, internet), but April champions GMRS (easy, no test, family license, Midland's Jeep-friendly setups like the MXT series with integrated mics for tight dashes). Great for trails where cell service fails! - **Wrangler 392 pricing gripes** – recent price drops (like the 2026 Moab 392 coming in ~$20K cheaper), the thrill of that Hemi V8 roar, and why it's worth the premium (plus jealousy over friends' new ones). - **Off-road pet peeves** from the round table fireside chat crew: dropdown steps on rock sliders, loud concert-level speakers blasting music on trails, rear dual-exit exhausts getting mangled, oversized wheels, hitch sliders, and trail judgment. - Bonus: Tony plugs his new interview-focused show **Tony Muckleroy** (check it out on YouTube/Spotify for paranormal chats, preppers, and more wide-ranging topics). If you're a Jeep owner, off-roader, or just love the community vibe, this episode is full of relatable rants, practical advice, and good-natured banter.

  8. Living in a Trailer, Selling Volvos in High School, Now Running Combat Off-Road

    9 JANV.

    Living in a Trailer, Selling Volvos in High School, Now Running Combat Off-Road

    In this **Jeep Talk Show** interview episode, host Tony sits down with Ryan, the passionate founder of **Combat Off-Road**, for an inspiring deep dive into his lifelong love for building, fixing, and flipping vehicles—from living in a tent and trailer behind his parents' garden center as a teen, selling hundreds of Volvos in high school, to running multiple off-road shops, and now creating top-tier aftermarket parts for the Jeep community.  @Combat.Offroad  Ryan shares wild stories from his early days (including custom sidecars, crazy customer requests, and building cars while playing college hockey), his transition from shop owner to manufacturer, and why he launched Combat Off-Road as a true enthusiast project focused on **durability, quality, and lifetime warranties**. Highlights include: - Why Combat Off-Road uses **stamped aluminum** (not plastic) for armored tail lights that can take a beating off-road - The modular design that lets you replace individual lenses easily - Popular billet hood latches, tube doors for that open-air feel with extra protection, aluminum fenders, and more - Ryan's take on EVs, keeping the ICE culture alive, open trails, and passing the gearhead passion to the next generation (including his 10-year-old daughter who already drives and knows her cars!)
