On this episode, Chris is joined by Daniel Marcello, Founder of Brooklyn Coachworks. They chat about how a career creative turned his Land Rover passion into a magazine that lead to building Brooklyn Coachworks. They also discuss a few of their hallmark builds and how their shops in Italy and Virginia integrate with their home base in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Building an investment quality restored Land Rover Defender isn't easy and certainly not something usually seen in the heart of Brooklyn, New York City.
Brooklyn Coachworks motto of 'Purpose Built' goes into every Defender they build. We don't add unnecessary accessories or overbuild their Rovers. They build them the same way Land Rover would have built them coming off the Solihull assembly line, but with some much needed upgrades to ensure they will last forever and be comfortable to drive.Follow, Like and subscribe to the podcast on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and your podcast listing platform.

On this episode, Chris is joined by Brian Ellis, Founder and CEO of Fourbie Exchange. They talk about the performance and their outlooks on the truck and 4x4 markets, changing marketplace dynamics and which trucks and 4x4s are winners, losers, buys, sells and holds in the market.
After a 5 year run in the collector vehicle markets, 2023 was tumultuous, but 2024 is stabilizing and showing signs of improvement. That trend continued in the 3rd quarter, as sellers are finally coming to terms with market values and buyers expectations. With the collector truck and 4x4 markets remaining strong and balancing out, the opportunity is there for future growth in certain areas.
Generational change continues to drive the truck and 4x4 markets, as the 35-55 year old demographic fuels their insatiable appetite for these vehicles. Some years, makes and models are performing well and some are struggling due to over supply and shifting trends.Follow, Like and subscribe to the podcast on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and your podcast listing platform.

Efficient and respected marketplaces operate with balance, integrity and trusted buyers and sellers.

On this episode, Chris and Austin chat about transforming mundane classic Toyota Land Cruisers into investment quality restored and rowdy, yet comfortable and refined, LS swapped FJs. They also discuss how a Land Cruiser obsessed former boss and business trips to South America evolved into Black Dog Traders, a premier Land Cruiser restoration shop.
Black Dogs' evolution began years ago as a small Father/Son team buying/selling Toyota Land Cruisers of all makes and models. They spent so much time driving & repairing them that we eventually began to restore them from the ground up.
This evolution brought Black Dog Traders to the point they are at now. Their vehicles are constructed of brand new parts to much higher specifications and tolerances than the factory ever intended. Some prefer the old hum of an original 125hp 2F motor, they prefer more power, fuel efficiency and comfort.Follow, Like and subscribe to the podcast on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and your podcast listing platform.

On this episode, Chris and Todd discuss the origin of Kei vehicles, the differences between the makes and models and their platform variations. In addition, they discuss how the import US Kei truck market has exploded in recent years and what the future holds as more unique JDM vehicles hit the "25 year import rule".
Kei, roughly translated to "light automobile", refers to the Japanese vehicle category for the smallest highway legal passenger vehicles, with restricted dimensions and engine capacity. The Kei category was created by the Japanese government in 1949 and the regulations have been revised several times since. These regulations specify a maximum vehicle size, engine capacity and power output, so that Japanese owners could enjoy both tax and insurance benefits. Now that these unique JDM vehicles are available for import, they have gained prominence in the US markets.
HVNY Imports is NY’s largest minitruck dealer and one of the largest Kei vehicle importers in the United States. Located an hour from NYC in Goshen, NY, HVNY Imports carries a large inventory of minitrucks, microvans and full size RHD JDM imports.Follow, Like and subscribe to the podcast on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and your podcast listing platform.

On this episode, Chris and Joe discuss how a family owned body shop became one of the most prominent Jeep and Bronco custom shops in the country and how the synergies between a mother, father and son have lead to their success. This special interview hits "close to home" for Chris, as Urban Jeep Outfitters happens to be a mile from him and he has the pleasure of being personally acquainted with their amazing family and shop.
From their state of the art shop in the picturesque beach town, Avon by the Sea, NJ, Urban Jeep Outfitters grew out of a family owned and operated body and collision shop, J&E Auto Body, founded in 1987. About 10 years ago they elevated the brand to include Urban Jeep Outfitters, dedicated to building and customizing Jeep Wranglers. They first started with the JK Wrangler platform, eventually adding the Jeep JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator platforms. With the addition of the new Ford Bronco, they have also added those to their list of vehicles they build and customize. Every Jeep and Bronco they build, no matter how big or small the project, is executed to the highest industry standards of workmanship.

On this episode, Chris and Chris discuss how growing up around trucks spawned Chris Swenson's passion for collecting and restoring Ford trucks and eventually sharing his fondness for the "Bumpside" generation with the world. They also run through all the Ford generations and the origination of their nicknames.
Ford trucks are known for their generational nicknames, but the fifth generation 1967 - 1972 Ford F-Series are known for their unique three-dimensional spear or "bump" that runs from the front fender all the way back through the bedside. Coined "Bumpsides" by enthusiasts, this generation powered to the pinnacle of American pickup production and popularity with more engine choices, a larger and more comfortable cab and more aesthetically pleasing styling.
Chris launched @bumpin_uglys, an Instagram account dedicated to "Bumpsides", that eventually grew a massive following of enthusiasts. That following is what made Chris Swenson the Bumpside aficionado.
