I should note, what are your thoughts on actually contacting JEEP if this gets big enough?

If he paints himself as the "jeep jumper", Jeep will not pay for advertising they're already getting for free. And no other advertiser would want to touch a performer so strongly associated with another brand.

He needs to create a character that does wild things, that way sponsors would pay for the persona/character and not the comedic prop.
