@@wanderingaimlessly. Toyota's are more reliable, peroid. Jeeps are more capable, and going topless, doorless is awesome. I have both - but I have a 4Runner as a daily because it is reliable, basic, and will work - peroid. I wheel the crap out of my Jeep and I love it to death. The comment was contrary to what you think, but suggesting someone buys a Yoder and not a Jeep doesn't make him a troll - and since I work on Jeeps, I can tell ya that the electrical issues with the JKU are a real thing! Glad to hear that your Wranglers have been good to you - but the lemons are out there, and that's where the Wrangler reliability comments are coming from!

I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler with 150,000 miles on it. I've been 50/50 Highway and Offroad. I've done at least one trail in every state. And feel confident I'll be able to do another 150,000 miles in my rig. I use synthetic oil, and do whatever maintenance is scheduled. I do half the mileage for maintenance due to the harsh driving I do. Feel confident in your purchase. You can see all the places I've been on instagram. Hope to see you on the trail!

Thanks Brad I can't wait to be on your level!

COMPLETELY out of hand but...TOTALLY worth it!!! Looks fantastic.

That Satin Red is gorgeous. Love the Overland build. Perfect setup for the Gladiator

Just got my first JEEP and we love it and easy for my wife to drive , the media center is great and the on board read out from the engine to the tire pressure, blue tooth , phone , all works great... And this was a great video...

This is the reason why I am getting into over landing. Love the gladiators! Will be getting one as my next vehicle and it will be my first Jeep

Jeep is looking pretty sweet can't wait till spring when I get my own and maybe join one of you guys on a trip 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

The saying goes, "If you can do it, it ain't bragging." So if you can afford it and you like it, it ain't "out of control"...for you! Now you've experimented with a few things and found what works for you. Excited to see what you come up with next, since I'll be the winner of LIteBrie's Gladiator giveaway and building my own! (the power Positive Thinking?!)

Brad just put a lift kit on your garage so that you can fit it in 😂😂

I don’t know how this channel doesn’t have more subs. In my opinion, one of the best Jeep channels on the tube! Keep it up Brad! Appreciate the content as always. Working hard to get a JL and start the off-road adventures with the family! God Bless

I’m picking mine up on Monday !

I agree the wrap job looks nice. Like the upgrades.. Keep on WHEELING...

She’s come along way looking really good when your passion an your love for what you do keeps you excited for the next chapter it’s never to much 👍 as always be safe

AWESOME video!!

It's been quite sometime I've come back to you, boy that gladiator looks amazing with the satin finish, I could see few things from the past like the KC lights and a whole bunch of new stuff, I am also for the covered stuff to protect stuff from open elements, great going and awaiting for the new stuff you gonna put. Good luck.

“When are you doing a review on the Patagonia’s, not today” lol

The wrap looks awesome!

I love the Gladiator but my favorite is the JK. Can’t wait for the Cherokee Chief classic build. Love your channel and so happy I signed up for the Premium E3 Overland membership so much awesome content..... Keep it coming!!!

Great video and thanks for putting it together for us to view. It’s got me wanting to get back out and go for a ride.

The wrap looks great and I enjoy the mods keep it up and simple can’t wait for the next one

It's never too much, well until the kitchen sink is installed. ;)

Wow, your post are always so well done! Now everyone has a talent for it. Super informative and always very easy to understand! Wishing you all the best. I’m a follower!

Great looking jeep the whole build flows flawlessly

Keep the wrap Brad,looks great and when you are tired you can go back to the red that is beautiful. Your Gladiator is taking shape but with your experience,I think you will add what you really need. Thanks for another great video and for sharing.

I saw this Gladiator at the LA Autoshow. Took lot's of pictures of it and with it. You need a SYNERGY FRONT TRACK BAR & SECTOR SHAFT BRACE. I noticed Marco's Jeep has it. For safety's sake, everyone should have it. When you do finally install it, be sure to replace the 4 Steering Box Bolts with Grade 8 Bolts.

Keep the wrap! It looks amazing while not being too flashy

Amazing Rig!

I love it!!! I've been doing a lot of research on what to get for my first overlander (I've owned 2 vans in the past that I did adventure/camper conversion builds on and had a lot of fun with those- but I wasn't able to go TOO far out into the backcountry and was mainly "stealth camping" with those). And I'm sure I'll still occasionally want to just park along the coast overnight to wake up and go surf sometimes, but the main purpose of my next "adventure rig" will be to explore more trails and venture out to backcountry campsites, so I'm thinking the rooftop tent option will be the way to go and will be a fun new experience for me! Also considering a camper shell option, so I look forward to seeing what you end up doing with that, as well as your rooftop tent reviews! Thanks for the inspiration, man!! Now I just need to decide whether to wait for the diesel or not....anyone know when those will be released/available to buy in California??

Great video thank you!

bro this thing is sick man🔥🔥

I love the wrap and graphics on the truck. Might be loud or over the top in person, but on camera... for your videos... don't change a thing!

This rig is looking super clean Brad. I like it as is...no need to lose the Wrap.

Truck looks great! I finally got my Launch edition and really like it. So far I have added the same Warn winch that I have on the JK. I haven't decided just what direction I am going to take it as it is a business tool for Off-road recovery.

Awesome Jeep Rubicon Set Up Ever Br.

That wrap was beautiful.

Your Jeep is kick ass! Love it. One criticism though is if your taking votes I’m not a fan of the wrap, I liked it stock but still awesome. And also really love your channel. I found you a month ago and I can get enough. Keep up the good work.

Just discovered TrailRecon this weekend, while cooped up in my apartment after a newly-issued statewide stay-at-home order here in Alabama. I bought a 2007 4WD Nissan Frontier Crew Cab last month, and have been boning up on trailrunning as part of my process for weathering the Coronavirus epidemic. I had a 4WD Nissan Hardbody back in the 1990s, and I'd missed it badly. Did a lot of light-to-moderate trailrunning with it in Arizona and central California, particularly Schnebley Hill Road outside Sedona (my favorite!) and the Senator Highway up in the Bradshaws, along with a lot of logging trails in the central Sierra Nevadas in that triangular area between Modesto, Yosemite, and Lake Tahoe that involved the occasional hop over eroded channels in the trails, but never dared the Rubicon. (After watching your video on the Rubicon, I'm thinking, "Nope! Not with this truck!" O.O ) I also have an amusing story from when we first moved back to northern Alabama with my Hardbody still in my possession. My in-laws all scoffed at it: "You're not going to need four-wheel drive here! This is Alabama!" I just smiled pleasantly, knowing towns in the Deep South have NO CLUE how to deal with snow and ice, and said, "we'll see." Well, that first winter, we had four NASTY sleet storms in a row in one month. Six inches of ice pellets mixed with water about the consistency of a Slushy from DQ. And after the storms blew through and the cold air settled in behind it, the slop froze like concrete, with 6-inch-deep ruts in it like an old wagon trail. And it did it again every Saturday after that -- four weekends in a row just when the stuff was just starting to melt off. This poor city was shut down for a month! And I, with my single bench-seat 4WD Nissan, kept my wife's nursing home staffed with nursing assistants the whole month, by shuttling 5 CNAs at a time to and from work each day! My in-laws never uttered a peep about my truck after that. But, after a few years, as our family grew, I bit the bullet and traded it in for a minivan. I felt emasculated. But now the kids are all grown, the ex is long gone, and I have a "new" truck again! At this point, I'm seriously thinking about seeing if I can finagle a transfer within my company back to the Phoenix metro area soon, because I miss the West! But for now, I'm also scouring local National Forest maps of the Bankhead and Talladega National Forests here in Alabama and the Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee and northern Georgia looking for fun back-country routes. Any suggestions? I'm particularly intrigued by your videos on this Gladiator. It seems a close comparison to my Frontier, and I'm picking up many interesting ideas. I was also encouraged by your 40,000-mile review of those Goodrich tires in another clip, which is what my truck came equipped with. Nice to know these tires offer such good all-around capability, short of extreme rock-crawling or mud running. I don't plan to do a lot of trail running in muddy conditions. I hope to mostly refrain from muddy trails to to not contribute to avoidable trail erosion. So it sounds like these Goodriches are perfect for my needs. My main concerns would be sidewall punctures from sideslipping onto a sharp rock or a broken-off mesquite or creosote stump or some such. How vulnerable are these tires' sidewalls? Any thoughts on how my Frontier compares to a stock Gladiator? My initial impression is that Frontiers are more of a midsized truck than my old Hardbody, with a longer wheelbase and wider turning radius. I haven't measured the wheelbase dimensions or ground clearance yet, nor looked at the underside to see if it has any skid plates.

Great setup 👍👍

Brad you made some Fantastic changes. And smart ones!! You could put Saran wrap over the cutting board?? Bur overall Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Video.

Looks great👌🏻

That is a really nice build. I'm becoming a fan of the Gladiator. ;)

I’m pretty sure I am going with the Smittybuilt winch as well. I’ve never even had a winch before so that cost point is good for me. I’m certain it’ll suit my needs.

I was just talking to a buddy of mine about the gladiator and I was saying that I hope they come out with a shell for it, then I would be interested, the compressor in that dometic that I have I know would be much happier breathing clean air... great minds right ? JT is looking great Brad, you are a lucky dude ! maybe see ya at RFD_LA next week ! cheers man !

Cómo siempre..las mejores reseñas de Jeep .un saludo!!! Excelente video !!! Saludos desde guanajuato.mexico!!!

Hey if your worried about dirt in your bed and getting on your gear, check out the racks that nuthouse industries makes. Custom built out of aluminum and linex coated. Their tech 3 series rack has a sliding cover over the bed like what the gator traxs tonnue covers do. They are out of ohio and have you tube videos of their rack options. Good people!

When ever you say "we've got a lot to talk about in this video" I know it's going to be an awesome video!

Brad, when you do the gear change make sure you do an acceleration comparison before and after too. Ie. 0-60. 👍

Id like to get into this but my priorities are set on a Cummins 12v, but great video love seeing this stuff!

Great video. If you get rid of the rack system and go with a shell I think you'll have a long JK-JL? Rig looks good!!!

Those wheels!

Great video Brad. Just curious how much all the accessories cost to this point or if any is given to you as part of a sponsorship. It's great to see the progress so far but I find it hard to believe an average person can afford to do so much so quickly. I think when the more popular channels show all the upgrades it would be helpful for the average guy to get an idea of cost. It would go a long way towards helping the person that wants to get to that level set some kind of priority of how to get their. Thanks again for another great vid.
