It's only been a little over a month since my son purchased this 2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon TJ with the intentions of making it more capable on the trail and more self-sustainable for overlanding trips. In this video he and I install a Gobi roof rack with the ladders and wind deflectors and then mount a roof top tent on top... great father and son times in the garage!

The one thing I’m so jealous about is the relationship you have with your boys. How blessed you must feel to have such a bond with them. The build is coming along great you guys

@justinm.791 4 года назад

@On Hawaii Time I can appreciate that... my dad and I had a terrible relationship. I didn't speak to him for over 20 years then found out he had Alzheimers. Didn't want any regrets so I reached out... he'd stopped drinking due to the illness and in the last several years before he passed we became really close friends... it was great, but it also made me realize what we could've had all along. @ everyone that still has their parents....go give them a hug.

I’m not even a Jeep guy, but you, Brad and your sons make this channel one of my all time favorites on RU-vid. The content is amazing and it’s awesome to see the bond you and your sons share, which is off roading and wrenching on your Jeeps. Can’t wait to see what’s next for the TJ. Keep up the great work, Trail Recon!!

@leonschitzelgruber8237 4 года назад

As I tell my girlfriend, "Nice rack!" A few years ago I stepped out of a Japanese restaurant in Boulder and spotted a Gobi rack on an LJ. I complimented the owner who said her dad or uncle was a Gobi co-owner, so I hope they're USA-made. Also, you may find that hitch receiver greatly reduces your departure angle, a disadvantage with rock crawling. Ask me how I know. Good job, guys!

4 minutes in, and realized I can't buy this rack now. Fenders are chopped in the back and won't allow for the mount. Thank you for posting this! I almost ordered this this morning, definitely glad I saw how it's installed! Awesome content as always

Nice addition to the build. Def enjoying this TJ series. And I cracked up when you mentioned that your son was laser focused on the ‘free’ backpack.

@adamray4107 4 года назад

I'm closer to my dad than my mom, but we're both socially awkward. He was my den leader through cub scouts, and continued to be a leader through boy scouts,, so he was there for me about 15 years as a leader, and continues to be there as I made eagle scouth, and still live at home, using my leadership skills he helped teach me to get through various jobs. I really think its awesome to see you do the ame with you son, but with active service, and overlanding. Great job, man,

@k5edd128 4 года назад

Smiling; Nothing like a father son project. I have had many with my son over the years. Last was putting a 2.5 inch lift on his 2015 Rubicon 4 door.

Found your channel a couple months ago. Since this quarantine started, I think I’ve watched every video you have made in the past 3 years. Big fan of your channel, I like how knowledgeable you are about off-roading, and your enthusiasm for the nice views you get to see during your travels. I also like how good the camera work has gotten. Great work!

@TrailRecon 4 года назад

Thank you and great to hear you are enjoying the content.

@uweschroeder 4 года назад

What I'm wondering about: how much of a pain is it to open the soft top? I always thought one of the best features of a Wrangler is the possibility to remove the top. With a rack like this, I guess you have to undo the front bolts and then you can flip back the rack, open the top and flip the rack back forward to secure the bolts. Pretty much impossible with a rooftop tent on it. So by the end of the day you might as well buy a hard top and glue that in place because the reason to have a soft top is pretty much eliminated by the rack. Personally I would never do that, but of course that's a matter of personal preference. I tow a small camping trailer and therefor don't use a rack which allows me to tow the trailer topless - and that's my very much preferred offroad configuration.

@danielsalm6410 4 года назад

@mcoffroadinaz4075 4 года назад

Put the socket into the A-pillar bolts, and gently tap with a hammer to bottom them out in the bolt just before breaking each one loose. This will push any paint out of the way, and allow the socket to do it's job without slipping out and messing up the bolt.

Brad, I couldn’t help but laugh and think “I hope they measured the height difference before install!” Because it would be MY luck I’d install a rack in the garage and not be able to drive out without flattening the tires 😂

I just got mine put on last week too. If you did not know just in case they give you $100 off or a free accessory of your choice (even the 265$ ladder) for being military make sure you claim yours if not. I got the free ladder and my backpack came in a separate box haha.

@MrJamesLuz 4 года назад

Another TJ Top Tip: loosen the fuel tank bolts (don’t remove them) and you can slide the tank around quite a bit fore / aft and side to side. It’ll help a lot when installing a rear bumper or working on the rear axle and needing more room for your hands (or bolts)
