I happen to like the fact that your Jeep seems like it could be used day to day, in addition to overlanding. For newcomers it could be pretty overwhelming trying to figure out everything you need when you see these completely built out rigs. Great video!
I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Leonard Cody I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Quit feeling guilty about your own setup. Don't have to be always better than others... your setup is great ! have fun ! thanks for the channel, I love it. Be proud of yourself, because what you do is awesome.
Talking about removing seats, I have removed my rear seats out of my jku, but also removed the passenger and turned it into a dog platform which keep my pup comfortable when on trips, creating even more space underneath the platform itself, and it even triples as an in Jeep sleeping space!
Brad, I'm not an overlander. I kayak camp occasionally. I stumbled on your channel a week or two ago and I find what you guys are doing fascinating. Here is what I like best about your channel...you answer a lot of questions from people who are enthusiasts. Good on ya.
In my 04 TJ I'd take out the back bench and replace it with a plastic bin to hold gear, spare parts, tools, etc. Then I'd bring a cooler with ice to hold water bottles and lunch. My trail rides were only one day at most so no camping gear. But when I get my jl 2dr I plan to do some camping. My friend has a JK 4 door and we plan to do trails and also research some camping gear and tents. This was a great vid! thanks
I like ALL of the Jeep mods! Any changes that enhance your enjoyment of excursions is a good mod. My brother lives in Lake Arrowhead and the hiking trails are incredible. I miss the San Bernardino Mountains.
You can use the 4 inch PVC pipe as a water container and you can mount on top of your Jeep down down the side of the roof rack if you paint it black it will heat the water and you can put Tire valve on it pressure into it look it up on RU-vid is a bunch of videos
Awesome. Loved the Video. I am planning a road life and love the idea of converting an ambulance. But...my first 'car' was a '78 CJ 7 304 v8 Levi (Jeans) Edition. I LOVED that JEEP. So, I am determining whether I want to do the 4x4 Ambulance or Jeep Full Time conversion. This video was, even though it is camping vs Full Time, still extremely helpful. Thank You!
I have not posted any pics on instagram yet, we have 2.5 large breed dogs as kids who camp with us. I recently took the seats out of the back, too many issues for dogs to mention with it folded down. But I built a flat spot where the seat used to be, similar to the goose gear stuff. Since I know you build stuff yourself, it is an easy build. Not taking away from goose gear, their stuff is awesome, I just can't afford it. I do have the vector offload mount. Fun way to carry stuff, GPS Phone, etc. That tent that folds downside the hard top, really intrigues me, that is a good looking way to make the jeep a good camper with out giving up the drivability into the garage. I have a friend who had to take his roof rack off because he can't park his jeep or anything in the driveway overnight. (HOA) but that is a nice option for folks who may have that problem. I love Markos, pressurized water set up, that is cool. I get taking out the rear seat, I have been debating it for over a year now, Bam, I love that its gone. IN the past year, not one person has ridden in the back, good enough for me to realize, I don't need it. it gives you so much more useable room taking it out. Thanks for sharing my friend and have a blessed week. Dale
This was an AWESOME video!!!!!!!!!!! Shows what everyone is actually using and some of the choices that you can have depending on what you do the most.
Took a TJ out for a test drive today (first time driving a Jeep) & I am HOOKED to say the least. I cannot wait to get out and hit the trails. Totally dig the ideas I’m getting here. I’ll be broke in no time..
Thanks for sharing. Nice to see what can be done. You guys put my little 2-door JK to shame. But it is all that I can afford and I really like it. Your videos are just a pleasure to watch. This is why I subscribed a long time ago.
Thanks! You don't need all this stuff to have a great time out on the trail, just the basics are all you really need. I've seen some really nice setup 2 doors that are very budget friendly and functional.
No shame in not being able to afford that stuff! I can only afford an XJ at the moment but I love taking it out and working with what I have to get outside and on the trails. Like Brad said, all you really need are the basics
I have a 4 door JK with the root top tent and fridge on a slider in the back, the Terraflex cargo shelf, all the stuff. But I miss my 2012 2 door JK Rubicon. It was so nimble and easy to off road with compared to my 2016 JKU Rubicon I have now. It used to be just me and my dog and my little Jeep and we went everywhere. A ground tent wasn't comfortable, but it was small and easy. I didn't have the fancy fridge but my sandwich fixings were awesome at the time. I guess I mostly just miss my dog. Shit...I had a point here but now I just miss my dog.
Love the walkthroughs... went camping with my 7 yr old son for the first time this past weekend, straight up simple tent. Was the 1st of many more hopefully, and from this point I’m gonna build on to an overland set like the ones in you vid... keep the vids coming, so helpful for direction in my build!!!!
Very nice rigs even though I'm a Grand Cherokee guy. One thing I want to mention since the Jeep is your vehicle, your home at times, and your lifeline and for those reasons I would not use a grill near my vehicle. Personally, I prefer to take my grill away from my Jeep and have a designated cooking section.
Though you posted 2 years ago know this video is inspiring! Just got my jeep yesterday we are bare minimum at this point nothing in it so far. I found your video perfect because my hubby who is a super nerd and my self who takes comfort in gadgets is super stoked to add to our jeep. Looking forward to hard core camping again! Thank you for the tips I have shared this vid with the hubby, I also hit the subscribe button and will be referring to your vids quite often. Tell your crew amazing layouts and gear for their rigs, keep up the positive inspiration! much
Thank you so much for all your amazing videos. They are both inspirational and idea driven for folks like me who want to do some customization but not go all-out. Thank you.
I think you should do what the first jeep has with some play wood and line x for 3 reasons: 1- you will have a lot more space 2- you will same some money 3-you can customize it to your needs
As a hiker, I have zero interest off-road. However, I have tons of interest in the camping setups. In 3 weeks, I am attending a hikers gathering where we base camp for a few days. I would love a Jeep camp setup.
Love all of your vids you post! RL has kept me from enjoying the off road lifestyle for too long and am looking forward to enjoying it again. The information you provide has greatly shortened the leaning curve for me to catch up to what is current and what was not possible when I previously enjoyed getting away from the day-to-day rat race. Thank you so very much! P.S. Our parents had a good choice in naming their sons.....
Another hit Brad, I love seeing what others are doing for utility and gear for camping out of their Jeeps. I have a 2 door so my space is even more limited. I really want to build an off road trailer with a RTT, my stays are usually more than just overnight so base camp and the jeep unencumbered to go exploring during the day and back to base camp for the night. Keep them coming man, enjoying the content.
Brad I just started following you after watching a video you recorded in Colorado last. Since moving to Florrisant Colorado last year from San Diego California I brought our stock 2014 Jeep Wrangler and really appreciate all the gear and upgrades you guys have done. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Hey Brad. I am in the same boat regarding the rear seats. I think what I will try to do for my setup is a plywood plate in the very back, with the fridge on the one side and a cabinet on the other. Then I'm thinking of putting in a notch of some kind on the side towards the rear seats so I can have a removable plate that will sit on top of the rear seats when folded. I'm a fan of sleeping in my Jeep as I'm RTTless right now.
Wow! Just found you. Great site!!! I have a 2009 Rubicon and am looking for places in Minnesota to ride. Nothing worthy yet, but I am discovering more the farther I go out from Mpls. Keep up the fun reporting! I love it. Dave.
This was a great video. It is a lot of fun setting up your own system and it is great to get ideas. It is cool how they are all so unique, well, except for the table on the tailgate. Thanks for showing us all of these! I need to go buy a table now.
Hi Brad liking the videos mate I just thought I should say about those roto packs next to your fridge mate I’d leave a bit more room to let your fridge breath. Having stuff so close to it would be using more power as your fridge can’t breath and u run the risk of cooking your fridge 👍🏼
Brad, you can build a platform for your fridge but make the platform 3-4" higher so you can still access the bottom storage area. Should have enough room for your fridge before making contact to your vector platform. Plus you can easily get a foldable table size to fit under the platform. I just finished building mine and looking to build the fridge slide next. Cheers and thanks for sharing this vid. Other than Marco's Jeep setup (which is beyond awesome), I like the idea of the third Jeep with that platform conversion into a table:)
We had similar reroute 2 weekends ago. Went up 395 to fish bishop and it was 108 outside. Made a last minute adjustment and found the last available site at Sherwin Creek in Mammoth where it was 85 degrees
I loved this video! I also, probably like most people, love to see what others are doing to organize their stuff and make life easier on the trail. So thank you for sharing this and do more of these types of videos whenever the chance arises! I love seeing all the options and products!
I like it all!! HOWEVER, think about this. Make your own from click to bang. I think that you could make a great system yourself and have a great few vids from the process of constructing it. All you need is to get together with some folks with the skills needed and your ideas. After all, just buying market stuff is so run of the mill, isnt it? Love your vids. From Victoria, BC, Ciao
Awesome site. I've been following britelite and trail recon for awhile now. I just subscribed, just realized I hadn't, I'd watch 1 vidio then another ect. So now I'm subscribed. Great site with valuable info. I just got a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4 l automatic ( Im a disabled retired LEO and Veteran age 64 so had to get the auto) and it has 64k original miles, 33 inch tires, bbk 62 mm throttle body, 410 gearing and the only rust underneath was the exhaust. I'm going to get a stainless steel Banks header, magnaflow stainless y connect with free flow cat and a Banks monster cat back stainless steel exhaust. Also the Banks ram air induction. If I saw yours and Britelite I would have got the JL. But I'm going to set this up first and may just keep it. This is my 64th vehicle first Jeep and 6th 4x4 . I've had 16 motorcycles, the last 3 strikes and 1 sidecar set up before the trikes. My Trike is in garage and will be sold soon. It's difficult to strap a Walker on a trike. It was time to go back to 4 wheels and definately a convertible. Happy trails. If you come to the Daytona Bch rally I might just be there. Again great site thanks
