OMG that hair hasn't changed. I remember that iconic spike from Extreme 4x4. RIP Jesse

[@MyMGBJourney]

SO good to see Ian involved!!

[@danhambrick6331]

Would love to see a 2 door with about a 6 ft. bed👍👍💪

[@SXSPRIME]

i think a 2 door "mega cab" with a 5.5 foot box would be slick. a fella just likes a bit of extra space

[@rickysoffroadrecovery]

You are just making a gladiator they already done that.
I live the ultimate adventure every single day.

[@pjschuetz]

Technically it´s 7 inches shorter so really it´s a Defender 130 but looks like a 110 pickup.

"I didn't want to make it the same as a Gladiator"
*makes a Gladiator*

[@king-korestudio6311]

The man the Legend right there!!!

[@bjwilliams6115]

Episode spelled wrong from a magazine. That’s rich lol. Content was spot on though

[@johnbehneman1546]

SO BADASS!!!!! THANKS FOR BUILDING SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

[@MyLilMule]

Ian Johnson is a mad man and I love it.

[@cmac956]

HI , Good start ,looking forward to the videos on this Jeep .

[@libertystuffnthingsreviews829]

I was hoping for an extended cab style with a 6' or 7' bed.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Everytime i see ian i get this urge to brush my hair

[@TheJoeyPeacock]

SUPER EXCITED about this build!
Followed you for many years, Ian, and always enjoyed your work.

[@BoanergesJim]

I didn't know if he was going to custom build a Jeep, or take us to Flavortown.

[@swett148]

Have always watched ultimate adventure!! And flipped the pages when it was in the magazine !! Look forward to the awesome build. And if you need someone to haul off the parts you remove for your custom build , I’m about a hour away in Murfreesboro, tn and have a 2012 jku that could use them !!

[@inzaneartworks3109]

Well that was great!

[@riley5624]

Can't wait always waiting for the next one to come out next year

[@cmac956]

me too

[@knutroald5332]

We miss motortrend here in norway.. discovery plus sucks…
Hi Ian,nice to see you👋🏼👋🏼😀

[@UMBRELLA_CORPORATION_2001]

Thanks for EPISDOEEIIA 1

[@xozindustries7451]

Are two doors doors longer than the front doors on the four door? If so that would be cool to stretch the wheelbase with more interior room in the front

[@jake-mv5oi]

130" sounds pretty long. Must be putting lots of lift & tire under it.

[@BillMulholland1]

🍻👍

[@mccoma11]

lEt'S eV sWaP iT! Lol

[@J.Young808]

What happened to Rick Péwé? I thought he did a bunch of route planning. Am I thinking of another magazine ride?

[@johnhoser69]

didn't know Guy fieri was into jeeps

[@robbanks7393]

I want to see your stretched 2 door JK

[@TomaszbtdZiobrowski]

Nice to see, as you refused your app to work in EU, Poland for paying subscriber.

[@noduh736]

All that and you didn't get the diesel that v6 is a dog with 33"s all that extra weight its gonna be very weak

[@jasonlovell3934]

Just please take the snorkel off. Otherwise looking good.

[@Babarudra]

So... this is more about you, and less about UA2021

[@shorestyle17]

you lost me at "we got this 2013 JK"

[@skylarkovack2561]

Custom build? You mean rebuild 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@PhaverX]

First

[@theArmedSuspect]

hahaha rugged ridge trash. I'm disappointed that this is your ride this year.
