Anyone Watching "Build For Off Road" with Ian Johnson?

Will probably end up in the OFF-Topic Lounge, until he does a Bronco, but wanted to see if anyone had caught on to the new-ish show airing on Motor Trend channel.
Knew that the old Extreme 4x4 and the other Extreme shows were disappearing, but just found this new one of his a few months ago and finally decided to posts up about it. Don't remember anyone mentioning it before, but we've mostly been following along with Ian over the years.
Looks to still be working out of the same shop as the last show, and some of the production company names are the same as some of the other shows (Matt Allegretti I think?), so probably just heading their own way while Motor Trend productions rapidly disappear.
No Bronco projects yet that I have seen, but some pretty interesting stuff anyway. And I am just catching up myself. Apparently been going on for at least two seasons now. Maybe more, as I haven't googled anything about it.

Anyway, just thought that, with the general lack of 4-wheel drive oriented viewing (other than here of course!) some of you might want to know.

Watched it. Better than most things on TV. I do like watching him and he does a good job of explaining some things. He can be a bit of a lare commercial but that is what he needs to do to make money so OK.

His YouTube channel has a Bronco in the background. Not sure what it happening with it. I've seen one (and parts of one) in the background for a long time. But the latest C10 build has a clean body in the shop.

I have (or had, it has been a long time) his cell phone number. Left over from his first TV show days when I had to help him with a few technical things on a build. Got to hang out on a film shot, helped rebuild the brakes on a tow rig. Great person to be around. It took a moment but he did remember me at SEMA a few years back.

The bronco you see in the background belongs to Johnathan Melton, he does Ian's videos and they're buddies. I need to move so I can have cool friends who build stuff 😆
