My recommendation for the battery box: put a second set of USB and socket ports INSIDE the box, and drive all the top-mounted charging stations off the internal ports, as you’ll always want those plugged in, and you can hide those wires, then. And then use the ports you already have for other devices you only plug in occasionally.

This guy gets new jeeps more often than I do oil changes. 😮

Your dedication to the military, our country, and military families is so admirable. Not to mention your medical training and wanting to give back to all of us. Thank you, Brad.

A great solution for being able to see out the back window is a camera-driven rear-view mirror. They’re reasonably priced on Amazon, and they work really well. I use one on my JL because the oversized rear tire on the bumper all but blocks the view. That way you can jam the truck bed full and it doesn’t impede your rear view at all.

Yep, they work great, put one on my ram. Has front and rear camera, GPS with recoding, incase of accident video doesn't lie.

Being a bit obsessive about dust control in camper shell I feel your pain. There are some 12-volt blower fans on Amazon used for offshore engine compartments to pressurize the engine compartment. The cap on out trucks being closed in its usually lower pressure than the outside pressure traveling down the road allowing dust to be invited in. Pressurize it and dust problem will mostly go away. Keep replacing the rubber seal on the tailgate as required.

My right ear enjoyed this

Awesome video as always Brad. Your Gladiator is an awesome overlanding rig. And thank you for your service.

As a former combat lifesaver trained infantryman, I love what you are doing. I love the high water fording exhaust. Jeep should make that optional on their wranglers and Gladiators. There should be a few of these in every state for first responders.

Brad, I LOVE your channel! Your passion is second to none and that grabs me. And like you said, your Jeep, your exhaust... and YOU love it - after all, it's your circus, your monkeys, ha. I'm a recent retiree after 31 years with the DOD (13 USAF) and tho I'm not a Jeep guy, I learn SO MUCH from many of you. I've got an 11,000 lb overlanding 4-wheel drive dually Sprinter (170 XL no less 🙄) that I've been building from the ground up for a couple of years. And while the large size is great from the inside, it's can be a HUGE negative from the outside when off-roading. Recently, on a solo run in the Tennessee mountains, I got stuck in a river with my exhaust 6" underwater. Believe it or not, my diesel continued to run for almost an hour while I winched myself out. BUT, I'll count my lucky stars, not take them for granted, and look at an exhaust extension much like yours if necessary. Keep it up Brad, THANK YOU for your wonderful ideas, and of course, for your service!😉

Just ordered the bed cap, thanks for the mini review on it. Looking forward to it now!

Brad this an awesome build and I love the purpose of First Aid as a focus. Keep up the great work

That’s AWESOME! Please tell Magnaflow to make that a commercial product!

Gladiator is looking Kickass, Brad 👍

Wow, that exhaust would look really cool on a 4-door Jeep Rubicon!

Nice to finely see a snorkel on an exhaust to compliment a snorkel on the front for water crossing 👍

Build is coming along great. Decals look awesome Brad, I like the idea of the side exhaust without the stack but get why you have done it. Thanks for sharing.

excellent execution on the exhaust!! really nice job!

Amazing. Good idea. Keep brainstorming

Hey I'm in Texas too.

I love the commitment to the theme and mission. That OVS topper is now also on my shortlist of options for my Gladiator, the features and price are very competitive.

I'm glad your back..A lot of the Group was worried... They were worried and was wondering where you were at and thought something was wrong.. I just told them that you were probably editing a really really good video for us 😂 I was thinking you probably went on that Center force ride or you were wheeling with TSTN ..I did see you with him on his channel.

Man, I absolutely love how this truck is turning out Brad! I really liked the exhaust when I first saw it and just knew there had to be some ties to the military somehow, but I had no idea about those high-fording exhaust on the Humvees and other military vehicles. Awesome integration onto the Gladiator as well as all of the upgrades you've added. I really like that SST topper as well. I wasn't sure how this build would differ from your previous Gladiator build (which I also enjoyed), but this is really coming into it's own with the First Aid theme and I think may be one of the best (and most unique) Gladiators out there when it's all said and done! Looking forward to the next video!

It is fun to watch the problem solving, thank you!

Magna flow needs to make this exhaust a kit for sale

Excellent solution for the exhaust. I bet this makes it aftermarket offering if your tests work out!

Brad, you are awesome brotha! Your vision, passion, and intelligence mirror each other in this build. Plus, we all know you are going to use this beast on the trail. Great video and great build! I hope our paths cross. ✌️😎👍

Very cool Brad! I hope Regina is traveling to the artic circle with you. My wife & I like Regina in the videos.

Awesome progress, this keeps getting better and better. Try the ESI seal kit, which is under 30 bucks. They have directions that show how to use a 1" test strip to figure out the optimal install orientation and position along the bottom so that the seal doesn't end up folding inward and failing.

Hi Brad. Well done on presenting this video, you're a pro. With the tailgait leaking dust. I used Self-adhesive Open Cell Foam and it has lasted for years since 2018 and still going strong. It is light and sticks really well. The heavier rubber ones may look better but the lighter material really works and I don't even notice it.

It is great that a vision in mind and paper comes out so well. It has brought awareness of my training in first aid and when I was an EMT to the forefront of preparing.

They keep is awesome what’s even more awesome is seeing you be able to do it your way and enjoy your life to the fullest. That’s the grand prize

The Gunny is looking forward to fallowing your trip to Alaska. Great job on the Gladiator. Semper Fi Doc!

Awesome auxiliary battery setup brother.

As a former Critical Care Transport and ER nurse (now PACU) I’m following this build closely to incorporate the ideas, I can afford, into my 2023 Gladiator. Excited to stop by Silverdale Wa and check out the shop.

Looks awesome! Great job!

This video had me thinking my headphones were finally on the way out LOL

This build is coming out very unique. I love that and am looking forward to your trip.

Unique is always the way. Love this. It’s just way more fun to me when people do things out of the ordinary. Well done.

Thanks for the video. Hope you and the family are well. Great job. I love your attention to detail.🙏

What a unique exhaust! I love this sort of content. Do what you want with your Jeep!

Brad, it's coming along great!! Love watching how you are bringing the vision to life.

Love how the build is coming along. I have had first aid kits in my vehicles for almost 50 years.

I bought an RSI Smartcap EVO Sport a couple of months ago. I really enjoy the side access and side bin.

Awesome! It's good to be you! I can't wait to see the future videos! Thanks for sharing!

Man that exhaust is awesome! Love this whole project!

To help keep dust out, I use the BedRug with the tailgate coverage.

So many great mods and this build is really getting me excited to make my Gladiator my own. Love the idea around using the foam to keep chargers organized.

This Jeep looks fantastic, and must drive very well. It looks even better than what you were talking about in your live calls. I can't wait to see Doc out on the trails in real!

I love it Brad, and you are right, it’s your Jeep and you can do what you want. I’ve seen vehicles with exhaust like that traveling around the globe as an Air Force flight engineer. Can’t wait to see more.

I love the exhaust, you need to compliment it with a snorkel now😊

You should be very proud of yourself and everything you have done with this build so far. Exhaust , battery system, and topper are awesome to me.

I've loved the high water kits on our military Hummers but had a love-hate relationship on civilian vehicles. Looks like y'all nixed any hesitation I would have. Looks great, excited to see it in action.

misinformation on the internet?? never 😂 Doc looks great!

The gladiator is looking awesome!!!

It’s crazy…but I like it! So well executed, too. Chef’s kiss!

So happy to see you with the OVS Cap! I only discovered them recently and I’m very interested to see how it works for you. Can’t wait to see your Alaska trip videos. 😁

Looks great!

Brad, love what you've done with the power management. You could possibly Cerakote the exhaust pipe below the heat shield. That should help with your heat issue. Although not necessary you could also install a flapper plate at the top of the exhaust stack to keep water, debris, etc from falling down into the pipe.

Well done Brad, that looks really good, and very unique. I like it.

This jeep is so cool, I love the concept, the graphics, the stainless cap is awesome and the exhaust is really neat. Reminds me of the army!

Looks great on the rig!

Thanks Brad! Will definitely get a first aid kit for my Gladiator. I love your content and great job on the build focusing on function over form. The truck looks all the cooler for it.

can not wait for this trip video!!!!

Great video Brad. Doc is looking good

Pretty cool Jeep video!!! I’ve got 4.88’s w/35’s and love it. I’ve also re-geared a past 4x4 in the 90’s and it worked great. Have a safe/fun trip HMCM.

Brad ! Obviously the JTR looks ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY FANTASTIC !!! I know it's yours but I think the TrailRecon logo looked AWESOME & didn't look over the top to me but to each there own .... ANOTHER great extremely informative video , the exhaust is definitely reminiscent of the older / newer military systems but i don't think i could've put those large holes in my new ride but your happy & your goals were accomplished . Brutha keep it up !!! OH ENJOY fulfilling that dream on your trip ....

I first saw the exhaust and was like why Brad why! Was not a fan until you explained it, makes sense and I get it. Not a fan of the looks, but definitely respect the tribute and functionality! Very unique!

Former EMT, this rig gets a big like from me as well!

On my Tacoma TRD PRO I'm running 4.88 with 31 inch tires! Its just fine at 65mph and has a outstanding crawl ratio!

I love it too Brad, it’s great the way you continue to honor your time in the military which brings honor to all your brothers and sisters both veteran and currently serving! Good luck on your trip to the Arctic Circle, I’ll be riding (virtually-shotgun) - as always Semper Fi!

The foam cut outs for your charging station is such a good idea!

A titanium tip would be super cool at the top of the exhaust, and it turns a pretty purple-ish blue after it gets hot.

I have the Redarc BCDC 1240 powering a 100 AH lithium battery in my Gladiator build and it has never failed me even on our most recent 6 week trip.

Good job on the 4:88’s I did that and installed a e-locker for the front of my Gladiator Mojave. I pull a bass boat and an overland trailer and it works well. Love your channel. Keep up the great work

Looks good Brad, thank you for sharing. Have a safe trip. Wish we were gone with you. Thank you Don and Donna. In North Idaho.

@TrailRecon this is brilliant! Your battery compartment and the idea for holding battery chargers in place is great and I’m probably going to steal the idea - on a lesser scale - for me. Exhaust system makes complete sense. So much on snorkels for air intake, very little in my experience, discussion about exhaust snorkel. Excellent thinking! Well done!

Looks great Brad.
