TrailSpinTV is about One Jeep, One Dog and Two dudes who dont know what they are doing but have gotten them selves into Overlanding. This overland show will show that anyone can go an adventure. Overland is such a broad definition that it doesnt even matter. They just go out on a 4x4 adventure and explore places they have never been to. They bring the reality back by showing the issues that happen on their trips and they are both not afraid to speak their mind.

My 2018 rubi has this bumper/tire carrier on it when purchased in 2022. Any tips on getting the latch to stop coming unlatched on washboard roads other than keeping a rubber bungie cord wrapped to hold it closed? Nothing worse than seeing your spare tire and jerry cans out your passenger side mirror!
I love the light, can you do more of these, im considering one from aliexpress with drl. But looking at this im not sure if i wanne get an aliexpress one. However i want a singlenlight for a bike instead a duo one
I ran into some issues with them. Basically, the large jam nuts on the lower rear arms did not stay tight, and because I didn’t check them periodically, the threads stripped out from vibrations and the arms eventually came apart. I have since replaced them and it’s been great. I will say that this is not a lift for a daily driver, as the springs are meant to support a lot of weight. It’s a very stiff ride if you’re not carrying a lot of payload.
I just got done doing mine. I am old and disabled and everything HURTS! Just to make things a little more complicated, Mine also has a transfer Case skid plate attached from the center of the crossmember, over to the driver's side frame rail (unibody) behind the crossmrmber. It's never easy! I broke off one bolt and had too drill and tap. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL !!! 🛠️
if anybody ever pulls out Infront of you that winch wholly shit. You factored in a little overkill, that rig must only weigh 1/3 of the winches capacity without a block.
You just saved me so much time telling me that the plate adapter is in yhe fucking carrier box I bought the bumper portion on Facebook marketplace and it didnt come with hardware I was able to order the hardware elsewhere but now i know i will not get the plates until i order the carrier Jeep looks great , how is this thing holding up?
Water is used to keep the engine cool, antifreeze is so the water doesn't freeze. If you are in HOT climate use more water, if you are in a COLD climate use more antifreeze
Old school worm gear clamps are for old school copper radiators. Radiators with plastic fittings need the constant tension clamps. The plastic fittings expand with heat and can crack or leak if the clamps can't expand and contract with them. They are easy to work with with the cable tool. For best results, replace them when you remove them.
I've rode atv's and my sxs several times and love it, except for how narrow the trail system is. Two way traffic makes for dangerous riding. Last time that we rode there, we actually had a black bear cross a trail in front of us. I lived in Florida for 49 years and it was the first time that I saw a bear in Florida.
Wow just found your channel a few days ago! Awesome journey and a great job documenting the trip. You guys proved that it's about the journey and not the destination.
I had a problem getting the short bolts on on the left side where the carrier locks. The one bolt towards the rear was easy, but the one closer to the rear frame cross member will not fit due to the structure of the interior of the bumper. Any hints?
Jeep Life!! I'm in the process of figuring out what tent I want to get lol... Was thinking T4plus but that thing is Long and Heavy!! And of course it needs to fit in my JKU so now I'm looking Into the REI stuff. Three Adults and two small dogs
I would say that the 6-person left 2 guys and Rosco with just enough room, so you may wanna consider their 8 person. The vestibules are my favorite part other than being able to stand up inside. Plenty of room to store gear! - Brandon
I bought a skoolie like 4 years ago and never got further than tearing out the interior, and fixing the entire brake system (lines, rear calipers and pads, proportioning valve), entire fuel system (lines, tank, filter, pump, and filler neck), 3 batteries, dealing with a 600lb wheel chair lift, a sagging rear leaf spring, and a bad electronic choke. What a doll that thing has been. lol - Brandon
This is such an inspirational video for the everyman. It seems somber at the surface. But you guys got to go on an adventure that 99% of people that want to never get to. It's sobering that real life happens, but better than any RU-vid channel I've ever seen, you've shown it's possible for anyone. You definitely don't need a hanger on dads ranch to do it. You just need to do it when it seems possible and accept life will happen after. A wise man once said YOLO and in this case he was right.
