Show notes
On this episode of the Jeep Talk Show, Tony and Chris tackle the Tesla Roadster thruster demo and why it matters for off-roaders who still love a good V8 rumble. Instant electric torque, cold gas thrusters that could keep a Jeep from going end-over-end, and the pushback against new tech all get a candid look. Chris updates us on his Gladiator with Atturo Trail Blade MTS tires and AEV lift, plus the plan for a ThAir Camper walkaround.
