I agree. I've seen many youtube videos where some ppl act like they're drunk on the trail just because they can crawl it. I like Brad's group, they're respectful and good ppl to be around with.
Thanks Brad for putting this together. I know how difficult it is to film drive and edit videos for RUclips and Instagram. You are appreciated brother.
I enjoy those little hints to people who might not know to put their fire out and pick up their trash especially with more trails closing for public access each year because of that kind of misuse
Probably my favourite video to date, you can see everyone is experienced in the way they handle their rigs, but what I liked the most was the team stayed with the team and helped one another when things got difficult or sometimes broke.... In australia it's a lot more difficult, its either banned or so remote and hard and hot that it becomes dangerous to go out alone..., when things go wrong, your really are on your own... zero comms. and 100 km from mankind... thanks for sharing, I really must come over and experience it. It is really beautiful...
Thanks for making these videos. I would also like to say that the audio experience is just as good as your videos. I enjoy the sounds of the tires grinding through the grit of the dirt trail, over the rocks, engines revving, suspensions creaking and tweaking. All of these sounds help immerse the viewer into the video creating a premium experience. Keep up the great work.
I have been watching your channel for a year now and I’m so glad I found Trail Recon. I just picked up a 2012 Jeep Wrangler in Idaho and had the guys at 4 Wheel Parts help me build it out. Soon I’ll ship it to Kauai Hawaii were I live so the adventures can begin. Next year July I’ll ship it back to the mainland and hit some of these amazing trails. Thanks Brad for all your hard work on creating amazing content.
So as I sit and watch your video, I find myself in complete ahhhhhh. I always end up watching it two or three times. The first time as a Jeeper, enjoying the video and all the lines and obstacles Next, I get my pen and paper and take notes. I take notes on camera angles, commentary, and over all story telling. This is not to copy what you do but to learn from you and have the ability to put out a better product for my own channel. Your a true Jeep legend. Thank you Trailrecon
We see these bright yellow lights coming at us, so we pull to the side and Trail Recon and crew passes us. Cool. Never expected you guys there. I was feeling a little small with my 31” tires as you guys rolled passed with your monster rigs.
@@JerimieZamora Going from HWY 4 would be difficult on 31s. but I bet you could do it from Lower Blue Lake to Hwy 4. I only got hung up in one spot and a had I taken a line 1 foot to the left I would have been fine.
@@JerimieZamora It's hard to say if 33s are truly needed. There were a few big rocks to climb, however I'm sure a few minutes of rock stacking would get 31s through the trail. I say give it a go and if you have to turn around then go wheel Coral Hollow and Sour Grass... of course follow up and let us know if 31s were sufficient.
You are correct, you will never forget that trip! Amazing. Not sure if anyone else is interested but I would love to see some more of the camp setups. Looks like there were a number of ground tents on this trip as well. Keep ‘me coming brother, made my evening watching this one! Oh, and Congrats on doing this full-time now.
One of my favourite RUclips channels, Here in Australia we are blessed to have a few really good content creators however this channel is right up there with the best of them. Another amazing episode for the 4wd community to enjoy
For 30 something years, my grandfather patrolled and off-roaded those same trails working in the Forest Service. Even took me on Slick Rock a few times in his slightly modified 90s JK (Fondly remember the cow bell infront of the front diff). Makes me wish I could head out there on those same trails in my Crosstrek (I know a few trails that I can do, and have access to a few open mines there.) Thanks for brining back fond memories, and making the choice of getting a Bronco something a bit more feasible as my next vehicle.
What an epic trip! Pretty impressed with Marco’s Jeep due to the weight of his rig! This looks like a much more enjoyable trip than the Dusy we just finished. Thanks Brad!
Brad thanks for the shot of our Shop truck. We are always available to rescue anyone. All they have to do is hit up Adam and truck enroute for a free tow. And or parts delivery.
Thank You Brad for sharing another amazing trip. This may be your best video yet with so much incredible content and so well done. All of the drivers and their rigs are just on another level, So cool.
@TrailRecon You and your crew really set the standard when it comes to respecting the trail, each other, and other off-roaders. Way to be the example. Build quality on y'all's rigs is top notch, and I appreciate this channel for being such a fantastic resource. Thanks for sharing!
wooow, this landscapes are gorgeous. in Austria we got beautiful mountains and forests too, but it is forbidden to drive there. I have to come over and visit southern cali for some jeeping holidays :-)
These are NorCal trails - all in the same general area as the Rubicon and Fordyce, and a little to the south (and much higher) you have the Dusy Ersham. All classic NorCal trails.
Nothing but respect for you guys!! I know this is a dominant Jeep channel, but I'm truly impressed the way you accepted the Tacoma. I love the channel, keep up the great work!! God bless.
Great video absolutely gorgeous area gotta agree with you the Tacoma was sweet nice build thanks for your hard work letting us tag along as always be safe stay humble
That was amazing. Wish I could lay out for a jeep. Reminds me of my old Silhouette hunting in Montana. Picking my way along mountain trails with wife and two boys. I was glad to get a pickup. Nothing like these rigs! Wow.
Brad, this is phenomenal! So glad I found your channel... you are the only one that sometimes makes me want to build my Jeep a little (35s max), but then again, I also think, I’m sure my 2 door can do that stock 🤔
This is for my opinion the really best video you ever made and im so so sad meanwhile to live in Germany and not in the USA, because here all this amazing fun you can do is mostly forbidden 🖐️
Look up the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail, it starts at the border of Illinois/wisconsin and goes all the way up to lake superior. The farther north you go, the better the trails get. Obviously it's nothing like being out west but it is probably the best the area has to offer.
We actually ran the Trans-Wisconsin in September. Continued East along the southern part of Lake Superior and then down the east side of Lake Michigan. It is a great trail. Looking to do the Tran-Canadian Highway next.
I have been so inspired by the video's,so much so that my partner and I bought a jeep and are working on going overland exploring. I would like to talk to you sometime about it.Thanks for the video.
Absolutely love this trail!!! This is where I have taught both of my sons to drive and wheel! Glad you all enjoyed it and with minimal breakage! Is there a way to find out when you are planning another trip up to Northern Ca? It would great to tag along on one of your trips
Just Awesome! you are helping to fire up my Idea neurons in my mind, I guess I'm getting the bug to start off roading. Watching every other video you have in your channel. Fantastic content, really well thought out documentation and coordinated effort to make it possible. Well done brother.
I just found your channel today and am absolutely LOVING IT! My wanderlust is coming out in droves right now and I can't wait to soup up my Wrangler and take her out!
Thank you, I could feel the happiness, joy and adrenaline of this trail, the food looked Soo good, I love burritos de carne asada and the salsa quemada is also called tatemada in Mexico, you guys are awesome 👍🏼
This is an epic video!!! Love it! But also, a little jealous. Maybe someday I will have a skills and courage to try something like that. Still long way, but I am enjoying watching as well as my super easy off-road.
Awesome trail this episode! 👍👍👍😎😎😎!!! I wish we places like this here in Michigan?! I do have a question, the guy hauling the trailer, what's his take on this trail ? Thanks again for the videos, plz, keep them coming? Thanks, Eric Sulen, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
It was a lot easier hauling it this trip in the JLU vs last year when we were pulling it with our JKU loaded with a pair of kayaks on top of the trailer. 😲
Hey just wana say i reallyyyy appreciate your vids...your trucks your commentary your editing your camera skills like omg its flawless...top quality everything even friends lol....man keep making ill keep watching n one day buy a jeep of my own
Awesome video, the whole time I’m watching I’m trying to see who is running tall skinny tires. No one is haha, I look into it too much maybe trying to see if a wide or narrow tire performs better off-road. What I see here is bigger tires is better paired with bead locks you can air down a lot which will give more traction and still have a lot of ground clearance.
I know I have said this before but I am so impressed by the gentleness that you guys treat the trails. Well done guys.
I agree. I've seen many youtube videos where some ppl act like they're drunk on the trail just because they can crawl it. I like Brad's group, they're respectful and good ppl to be around with.
Even when the trail doesn't reciprocate!
Thanks Brad for putting this together. I know how difficult it is to film drive and edit videos for RUclips and Instagram. You are appreciated brother.
Thank you! I really enjoy sharing our experience and hope to inspire folks to have their own adventures.
You planning to take the ZR2 over there?
@@TrailRecon Job well done!
I enjoy those little hints to people who might not know to put their fire out and pick up their trash especially with more trails closing for public access each year because of that kind of misuse
Drown the fire and leave it cleaner than you found it. Our access depends on it!
@@davesoffroadandcarstuff3942 This!

I have never been off road it looks fun l have a nissan frontier 4x4 stock . 1 day 1day 😎
How difficult would you say this trail is for a CJ with a 2.5 in lift and 31s?
@@JerimieZamora Going from HWY 4 would be difficult on 31s. but I bet you could do it from Lower Blue Lake to Hwy 4. I only got hung up in one spot and a had I taken a line 1 foot to the left I would have been fine.
@@robsventure7448 thanks for the info, do you think 33s would be the smallest tire size to go in from the Hwy 4 side then?
@@JerimieZamora It's hard to say if 33s are truly needed. There were a few big rocks to climb, however I'm sure a few minutes of rock stacking would get 31s through the trail.

So Britney from Lite Brite says you cant do this kinda stuff with a rooftop tent. Well well the gontlet has been thrown down by Trail Recon!
as long as your brackets are tight ur gud
Gauntlet*

What a great way to start the weekend! Trail Recon video and then off to the Mountains to play!
135396 sounds perfect to me
Laid up after surgery and binge watching Trail Recon!
BEST ever RUclips channel!!!!
These videos are so rewatchable. I find myself rewatching every adventure multiple times. This is probably my 4th time watching this 🤣
One of my favourite RUclips channels, Here in Australia we are blessed to have a few really good content creators however this channel is right up there with the best of them.

Glad to see the JK back and hard at work! looks like you guys had fun. Thanks for the good camera work and for taking us along.

The Duys is on my to-do list, but I hear it's a marathon trail.
@@TrailRecon Let's do it! I'll even run tailgunner, eventhough I feel like a forgotten step child back there... LOL! 😉😉😉
I can't wait to check out the Dusy! Been on my to-do list for years!
Brad thanks for the shot of our Shop truck. We are always available to rescue anyone. All they have to do is hit up Adam and truck enroute for a free tow. And or parts delivery.
Thank You Brad for sharing another amazing trip. This may be your best video yet with so much incredible content and so well done. All of the drivers and their rigs are just on another level, So cool.
JUST WOW! Amazing scenery, cant get enough of watching each rig wheel up the trial.

You should do a video on that trailer! Love the friendly reminders about putting out the fire.
You’re content just keeps getting better ! Thank you for sharing these adventures, I really enjoy watching these videos
5:48 Marco's Right Front coil pops out and thx for the videos keep up the great work
What a beautiful trail, awesome camp spots! Thanks for another great video.
Beautiful scenery. Marco as always made the best looking food. Thanks for taking us along.
You guys are no joke welding machine on site,love it!
wooow, this landscapes are gorgeous.
in Austria we got beautiful mountains and forests too, but it is forbidden to drive there.
I have to come over and visit southern cali for some jeeping holidays :-)
Guate idee

Your videos always make me hungry!!! Love mixing Toyotas and Jeeps
PEOPLE with passion keep it this adventures for ever! THIS IS GREAT! best regards from Poland
Absolutely insane trip, looks like a great time
Nothing but respect for you guys!! I know this is a dominant Jeep channel, but I'm truly impressed the way you accepted the Tacoma. I love the channel, keep up the great work!! God bless.
I watch these videos just to see Ali and Marco crawl with their overland builds. High key jealous of their setups.
Thank you for the good informative videos, and most of all thank you for your service to our country!
Great video absolutely gorgeous area gotta agree with you the Tacoma was sweet nice build thanks for your hard work letting us tag along as always be safe stay humble
Glad you enjoyed the rid, thank you!
Beautiful place and beautiful Jeeps. Great edition Brad. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Brad, one of the best yet - such good quality video and sound! Keep it up!
Thank you Brad, the scenery was breath taking. You put in hard work every time and it shows.
It is dreamlive come true to have that kind of lifestyle you have.
Brad, one of your best videos. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Excellent.
Absolutely beautiful trail. Definitely on our bucket list. Thanks for sharing!! ❤️🐞
These scenes are amazing. heckuva job on the camera. great editing.
Well just finished watching Ben (JK Gear and Gadgets) new Video... Lite Brites new Video, and now this pops up... What a great Saturday morning! 😃
Just as good as Saturday morning cartoons when I was a kid.. 😁
FW Schnaar absolutely perfect morning
Eric and Heather Miller Hahahaha I was just thinking that
That was amazing. Wish I could lay out for a jeep. Reminds me of my old Silhouette hunting in Montana. Picking my way along mountain trails with wife and two boys. I was glad to get a pickup. Nothing like these rigs! Wow.
I love how positive you are. Makes me want to get out and do some off-road driving. Keep up the good work.
This channel is AMAZING. keep up the great work. My grandparents lived in Three Rivers California. Amazing mountain range, thank God for the views
Gotta love how stoked Brad was when Marco finished that tough section. You can really tell the camaraderie they have.
Enjoyed the video and scenery. It is a beautiful part of the country. Thanks for sharing.
great video Marco is a pro with that manual and rocking
Yes he is!
The third time saying this again... JK back in action!! Better vehicle to use in rough terrain than the brand new Gladiator. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
If the Toyota can do it without lockers the Gladiator can do it. Hope he takes it next time.
What an incredibly awesome video, one of your best Brad!!!!!
Brad, this is phenomenal! So glad I found your channel... you are the only one that sometimes makes me want to build my Jeep a little (35s max), but then again, I also think, I’m sure my 2 door can do that stock 🤔

Amazing trails. Miss these types of trails being in the Midwest.
Mike Hoffman Yep. Illinois is so flat and boring. Nothing but corn fields
We laugh that the topography changes here when the cut down the corn. Doesn’t make for good wheelin.
Illinois sucks it's the most ass backwards state their is and it keeps getting worse. Can't wait to move out of here.
Look up the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail, it starts at the border of Illinois/wisconsin and goes all the way up to lake superior. The farther north you go, the better the trails get. Obviously it's nothing like being out west but it is probably the best the area has to offer.
We actually ran the Trans-Wisconsin in September. Continued East along the southern part of Lake Superior and then down the east side of Lake Michigan. It is a great trail. Looking to do the Tran-Canadian Highway next.
great and insane trail, shout out to Marco who has been preparing some awesome meals for you guys.....
Camp fire lastnight then get up to some great videos.. Once again Thanks for the great videos Brad
The light you witnessed in Sedona, what a blessing.
wow! heck of a trail! nicely filmed and presented as always.
You know it was a hell of an adventure when you pull out the welder!
I drive stick in all my cars, but big time props to guys like Marco that go wheeling like this with 3 pedals
I have been so inspired by the video's,so much so that my partner and I bought a jeep and are working on going overland exploring. I would like to talk to you sometime about it.Thanks for the video.
Have you made it out?
About 2 hours before watching this I saw a semi blow up a drive shaft! I'm sensing a theme today. LOL
Absolutely love this trail!!! This is where I have taught both of my sons to drive and wheel! Glad you all enjoyed it and with minimal breakage! Is there a way to find out when you are planning another trip up to Northern Ca? It would great to tag along on one of your trips
I never knew the adventures you guys are on. Really really interesting and you guys work together and that is great. Superperb. Thumba up
As always love Adams build making it look like a walk in the park
Just Awesome! you are helping to fire up my Idea neurons in my mind, I guess I'm getting the bug to start off roading. Watching every other video you have in your channel. Fantastic content, really well thought out documentation and coordinated effort to make it possible. Well done brother.
I just found your channel today and am absolutely LOVING IT! My wanderlust is coming out in droves right now and I can't wait to soup up my Wrangler and take her out!
Marco is always so proud of his creations
Man I need to get out & wheel in the woods like this! I just dont trust my old 97' Tahoe to get me home haha 🤪
All the Jeep RUclips videos in one morning 👊
Ian M Burke what a perfect day it is
Nice Toyota Tacoma with the jeeps!
Great footage as always sir. Love the area around the alpine hiway.
My twin brother has a beautiful cabin in Arnold. We did all of these trails 8 years ago with my 08 JKU and his 07 JKU Rubi. Slick Rock was awesome.
Man that was a fun trip! Definitely have to do it again next year!!
I'm in!
I think it should be a yearly thing!
Awesome video as always hopefully next year I will be able to join you on a trip 👍👍👍👍
Thank you, I could feel the happiness, joy and adrenaline of this trail, the food looked Soo good, I love burritos de carne asada and the salsa quemada is also called tatemada in Mexico, you guys are awesome 👍🏼
that's some bad ass and serious off roading...ohh wow!!
What an awesome video !! Its so cool to see the Tacoma rolling with yall.
Wow what an amazing trail. I hope to get out west to try some of these trails out. They look amazing!
Lots of beautiful footage in this! Great adventure guys
Loving this series Brad 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I love all your command patches up there on the head liner. 1980 to 1990 BT.
I love that girl's white jeep. That terrain looks gnarly! I'm not sure if I'd attempt it, even with all the gear possible.
This is an epic video!!! Love it! But also, a little jealous. Maybe someday I will have a skills and courage to try something like that. Still long way, but I am enjoying watching as well as my super easy off-road.
Would love to meet Marco one day. He looks like a very nice guy. Much love from the other side of the world: South Africa!
Another cool video! Trails and landscapes look amazing!
GoFundMe just for Marco's food expenses! What great meals he's provided (and enjoyed making) for the group for basically every adventure!
Awesome trail this episode! 👍👍👍😎😎😎!!! I wish we places like this here in Michigan?! I do have a question, the guy hauling the trailer, what's his take on this trail ? Thanks again for the videos, plz, keep them coming? Thanks, Eric Sulen, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

fantastic trip - wish I could have gone with you.
Makes me wish for the thousandth time Tellico was still open. Great video
Always seeing Marco makes me wonder if you ever are going to do a video of his setup and how he put it together
Am new to jeeping and its good to see that some great places and trails are so close by in my area
love your trails and your story about the travels...
Love the videos, and the scenery is beautiful definitely looks like an awesome time
Hey just wana say i reallyyyy appreciate your vids...your trucks your commentary your editing your camera skills like omg its flawless...top quality everything even friends lol....man keep making ill keep watching n one day buy a jeep of my own
Thank you!
First comment, keep up the great work Brad!! Thanks to you, I’ve invested into a 98 Wrangler.
Awesome video, the whole time I’m watching I’m trying to see who is running tall skinny tires. No one is haha, I look into it too much maybe trying to see if a wide or narrow tire performs better off-road. What I see here is bigger tires is better paired with bead locks you can air down a lot which will give more traction and still have a lot of ground clearance.
beautifully documented, just wondering what happened to Marcos front spring at 11:02 ? looked like it popped out? then popped back in
Lost Sasquatch Yeap! Used to do that at full flex, I just installed the Teraflex coil retainers! No more coil popping!
I’m digging that combat action ribbon on the driver ceiling
heiio my good friends i enjoy your show it just so beautiful places there no depressed stressful driving in country is so fun
