Is My DREAM Jeep Wrangler Finally Complete?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- Over the last 5 months I’ve been working with some great folks to transform my 2015 Jeep Wrangler JK into my dream rock crawler and overland adventure vehicle. In this video I take you on a tour of all the work that been done to make it more capable, stronger and still maintain drivability. We’ll talk about wheels and tires, the new lift kit, axles, bumper the interior and more. #jeepwrangler #jeepjk

WOW the paint to match on the GenRight bumpers vs leaving them raw aluminum looks fantastic! We've only had a handful of customers paint to match in the silver. So Clean! The weight savings with going aluminum is HUGE, and the approach and departure angles on the bumpers are going to serve you well for you plans for this jeep. This is going to be a beast on the trail. Lets go wheel!
You know it isn’t ever going to be finished. You can’t leave things alone. Your excitement is so genuine and you seem so appreciative of everything you have. Love your attention to the small details and it shows you actually care about your vehicles. Looks awesome and I bet it performs just as good as it looks.
I love the choices you made to minimize weight - aluminum armor, ground tent. I laughed at the “Build is Complete” part of the title because we all know, no build is ever really complete😀
Fact.
It's great to see the JK back on the channel. It looks amazing with all the work you've done & I love how it's pretty much all paint matched. It looks so clean & very well done. Can't wait to see you take on some of the more challenging trails.
I’m just amazed that you are coming full circle in many ways with your JK. So many versions along the way to where you and it are now. Looking close to stock but super capable. It’s fun to watch and proof that we all evolve.
Really looking forward to seen all the adventures with the Jeep, looking like a million bucks!
Brad that build is incredible! I love the stock look with just a few additions to just give it some very clean styling. Im certain that's gonna be a beast on the trail, as a subscriber for a little over a year who went back and watched some from the beginning I love seeing how far this jeep has come! Can't wait to see it get put to the test once again!
Thank you and thanks for checking out some of the earlier videos!
Stock look? Haha! (Brad, it’s awesome, and I’ve been a viewer since 2017. Great to see where you landed with this rig.)
Brad, thanks for all the videos you do. I can appreciate how much time it takes to create a video that seems like you have someone else filming when it's actually just you moving the camera over and over and over and over again. You're really talented. I love these videos where it's just you and the trail. And thanks for showing my another great local trail (I'm in University City) to add to my list of trails that I want to do!
Great update Brad, quite a bit of mods since we've last seen the JK!
Such a nice build. That is one squared away Jeep. Awesome job Brad. Excited to see this flexing on some challenging terrain. GET SOME !
I’ve been watching your videos for about two years, and every one has been a look to the future. I love this build, it’s more to my liking (near stock appearance-advanced capabilities ) as your upgrades are well thought out and based on your experiences in the last few years. I want this Jeep!!
Thanks for being a long time subscriber and so glad you like how the Jeep turned out!
I’m the one that is grateful for having such a great teacher and friend (and Navy Veteran) sharing such a beautiful lifestyle as off-roading and vehicle building!!
Semper Fi my Navy Brother!
Now, THAT’S what I’m talkin’ about! 100% in looks. Can’t wait to see how it handles the rocks!
You painted the top at the right time. Matches your hair! Couldn’t help it. I’m Excited for the upcoming adventures.
Love his attitude about this build. Its not about adding features or cool gimics, its about creating a vehicle that makes him happy. It feels like a more focused build with a clear goal.
Really like this build, Brad. Like many of us who modify our Jeeps you've come full-circle back to a highly practical and functional build, no unnecessary extras or doo-dads. Love the aluminum bumpers and the thought you placed into every detail, and in many cases "stock" is just fine (including the tail lights!)
This is a serious build which will be great over the long haul. Love every aspect of it. Enjoy!
This thing is perfect! I love the new and improved OEM+ look so much. Sometimes less is more. Great job on the build Brad! 10/10.
Looking good! Still one of my favourite Jeeps! Looking forward to seeing where you go with this rig as it is VERY capable! And, I like the fact that you are keeping the camping part of it simple!!
Man I live seeing the transformation Brad! Can't wait to see this thing hit the trails.
Absolutely gorgeous. Clean OEM + look. Love your channel. You made wheeling and jeeps look so appealing that I bought a new JL Willys to start my jeep career. So excited to start my overlanding adventures
Awesome! The day I finished building a drawer system for my 2 door, I realised I preferred the open boot space and the fact that I can chop and change as I go along, and removed it again. Plain and simple is sometimes better 👌🏼
Been watching for awhile, love the build and your clean way of thinking when it comes to function first. And you still made it look great!!
Very nice! Love seeing the JK build back and always dig your channel Brad. Thanks for sharing.
Man I’ve loved to see you progress. It has to be a great feeling for you to be were you are now in the build.
I enjoy “living” the trails & western coast scenery through your channel. Also, nice looking JEEP upgrades 👍🏼🇺🇸
This guy could even make me want to move to cal
@@jo-vf7rc Moved from CA to TX for a decade and new adventures. Then returned to good ole CA, some years ago. Both states have fine 4x4 off the beaten path exploration trails.
Pro blu I was referring to going out and hitting some trails with this guy Od bet he knows almost everything that thetee is to know about the trails in California - Mexico- I would be pretty upset 😡 if I say him here in PA and didn't have something to go out and do some off roading
@@jo-vf7rc Brad's Jeep technical savvy is amazing. No doubt, he could share a heck of a lot about SoCal and Baja 4x4 adventure trails. Plus, his overall general demeanor makes him a perfect guide and leader.
Doc you definitely outdid yourself this time ! Capable and nicely modded without going overboard !!!
Congratulations Brad! The JKU looks amazing. Can’t wait to see off-road videos and the new capabilities!
Awesome! Super pumped about this! The JK looks sweet! Great video again Brad
Happy to see our products have stood the test of time and continue to help you steer adventure! Jeep is looking great! Nice work!
Looks amazing Brad! Glad to see the JK back in rotation!
congrats Brad, I was a follower at the very beginning of the trailrecon channel, 6 years of hardwork of driving\filming\editing, you deserve this
This is overlanding video gold. Like the library of Alexandria. All the knowledge we have in one build. I cant wait to see it detailed out. Adressing weight is awesome. Thanks.
Man I am so excited to see this jeep back! It's what got me following the channel! Looks like its headed for greatness. I have been debating on the ProRock44 so thanks for the review! Can't wait to see what comes next.
Its amazing what you have done with the jk throughout the years, been following your videos for awhile now and its great to watch tge progression, im working on my jl to get to the point i want it to be at, its tough and takes time but the end is always worth the hard work, keep up the great work and hope to one day wheel with you guys 👍
Beautiful. Excited to see more adventures with the JK.
I can not express how happy this makes me!
Love to see the final product; it’s been so long ! I love your channel! I always come here for info to pass it onto my Jeep 12
It’s nice seeing people excited about something they build for themselves. Satisfaction.
Looks Amazing Brad!! Happy Wheeling! Look forward to the upcoming videos!
Very nice Brad. Cool to see you getting back to "basics". Can't wait to see this in action.
Brad, I just love your videos; traveling; camping; and especially the equipment.
Simply awesome Brad and congratulations!! Many thanks for sharing.
wow! That jeep looks really really good Brad. I did a double take when I saw you standing next too it. It's amazing what happens when you make changes. Enjoy the trails.
Absolutely love your jeep and really enjoy all of your video's, thank you for all the info you put out!
Sooo been looking forward to this video droppin
Dammmm. Just looks amazing. I think this will be the best rig to your trip to Alaska. Love it. 🏆🏆🏆
Great build! I'm excited to see what you do with that! You're not messing around. Those tires are in my top 2 choices for the next replacement.
Beautiful! I’m hoping to see so many more trail videos, just like old times!
More to come!
Congrats, Brad. It keeps getting better!
Love this Jeep, so happy to see it again.
Definitely worth the wait. Turned out awesome
I can’t wait to see you in your restored jeep and Marco’s hemi out in the rocks.
Time for Corral Canyon!!! Your build is exactly the vision I have for my JK. Bravo Zulu
We did Bronco Peak a while back, but for sure it's time to go back and play some more now! ua-cam.com/video/m-UAFvEbNN8/v-deo.html
Amazing build. I had a JKU 2015 was absolutely in love with it, nice lift, 35s, and the overland rack. I needed a truck, so I traded. Now just two months ago, I'm back in a jeep with a 21 Gladiator Rubicon, and my wife bought a 21, JLU ALTITUDE. The mods will come slow as the funds are slower but that's OK. The more I drive my Gladiator the more I seriously enjoy it! Great Channel, Keep up the good work, enjoy that Amazing 2015 JKU!
LOVE that rear bumper - nice, enjoy, and be safe!
I’ve seen this video like 5 times now! I love how your jku turned out! It looks amazing man . My jku will look this good one day
Your Jeep looks fantasic, Brad! Congrats and happy trails!
Definitely looks good. I’d say you’ve made excellent choices on this build. 👍🏼
Wow the best your video , jeep is the best off raod car i like so much , thank you bro so much for sharing ❤❤❤
Cant wait to see you put that Jeep to work!!
Hell ya! Goosebumps!!! Love that Rig…
Man!!! I love it brother!
What a build, really fantastic Brad 👊
That first scratch is going to hurt! Nice build, very logical and everything makes sense.
LOL! True, but I'm ready to get a few and just get it over with. Thank you!
With as many times as he mentioned that his Jeep looked like a mallcrawler, he is probably both looking forward to, and dreading those first few scratches and bits of damaged metal/paint/rubber. So hell yeah, the first scratch will hurt for sure, but it looks like he's also looking forward to it, and adding more, because he knows he will get them while having fun on the trails.
Brad you have provided me with so much camping inspiration Your Jeep WAS identical to mine now seeing yours I want to make similar changes. I love what you've done. Now to get the wife's permission. Pictures and videos to come!
Awesome job on your JK, Brad! Have fun!
Appreciate you sharing, love watching your adventure videos they are just super cool, I haven’t gone off Roeding in some years jeep is looking beautiful dude nice job well until the next adventure I will be following
Congrats on the upgrades and build! This inspires me. Looks good.
Looks amazing Brad. Was talking with the wife about getting another JK to do exactly what you’re doing with yours. Happy to see it back again!
Looks like an awesome build Brad! Hope to see you on the trails someday!
What an awesome way to invest in the channel. Your happy and the viewers are too. You hit a home run here! And like you, I can’t wait to see how the upgrades change your trail experience.
Thanks so much!
The all-over silver looks very clean, and really shows off those 39's. Very nice
Poison spyder fenders I guess I just couldn’t wait lol😂!!! I love this channel keep up the good work bub!!! Your videos are the best on UA-cam FOR A REASON!!!!
Recently upgraded myself, glad to know that We have similar taste. Let’s me know my build was done right . Love what you’ve done and look forward to seeing a few trail rides. I have started showing an interest in overlanding, a lot less wear on my body.
Love that Jeep and your channel.
It looks awesome. Super clean and capable.
Wow what a build! Love it
JK is back!!! 👏👏
Got mine done also. 5.5 Metalcloak Game Changer, Falcon 3.3 Adjustables, Tom Woods drive shafts, and countless grocery list of other items. Nice ride. Thanks from MANGO
We came a long way!!! Keep Jeepin!!!
The build turned out great. Such a clean and classy look. The Dynatrac 44 is on my list too.
This was cool, and the silver wheels works perfect.
Brad, Jeep looks great! I would suggest adding rear skids for the Falcon shocks. I ran the Rubicon with out them. Definitely got road rash and but still worked great. For your 'super capable' Jeep, get the skids. I got them now, very easy install.
Brad, she looks awesome! Looks a lot like my JLUR in fact. Hope you bring her this week. See you Wednesday! 👍👍
Brad, that grin. You remind me of my daughter on Christmas morning. This is a great video
I feel like a kid on Christmas! Thank you!
Brad….. I love the color of your JK 😎💪👊. The journey you take me on vicariously is awesome. I don’t get out much. Work, kids, etc 😂. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to get away for a few minuets 😎👊
Looks great, congrats!!!
Dream build. Well done without being overdone. Capable and livable.
Supper rig Brad! Outstanding job!
Awesome build!! Love it!!
Thank you! 😁
Brad Silver looks Awesome!!! Look forward to your next adventures!!!!
Love seeing the JK, I run a Jeep JK and I love it.
Now it’s a real beast looks way bigger than before for sure…nice work
I don't think you stopped smiling for a second. I can tell you are super excited.
So glad to see you back in a wrangler !! Lol thanks for sharing
Thanks, lot's of Jeep adventures coming soon!
I put the JL hood latches on my JK and that's been a great upgrade especially on the high wind freeways
Oh yeah! That is the best Jeep out there.
I'm quick to criticize things on most people's builds but damn, your taste in components and looks are right on!
I look forward to following your adventures, and having a few of my own.
Right on, thank you!
Very clean and the way I prefer my Jeep look as well. When I had my JK I removed the front Jeep grille badge just to keep it clean.
Excited to see more rock crawling coming to the channel! Brad did you stick with the 4.88s or go to lower gears?
Wow, looks great! 🤙
Happy to see this update!!! You guys avoided really discussing front axle strength though. Great axles no doubt but with 39's and extreme trails you are more than maxed out on that 44.. Hopefully you can baby it but keep extra parts on hand for sure..
I think with my style of wheeling I'll be just fine and Jim didn't try to talking me into upgrading to something bigger, so I think we are going to be all good.
@@TrailRecon Fordyce has a way of negating your style.. 😁
