It’s amazing watching this two years later and hearing about CVD. It made me angry all over again that Newsom shut everything down while he was out dining massless. Nevermind the fact California did no better than the states that remained opened. Two years of all our lives wasted for his ego.

A Sunday morning Trail Recon with my coffee?!?!!! This morning can’t get much better. Have a great day Brad 👍🏻

Transiting out of the Military 🤪👍. I remember my Transition was Just after returning from Combat I was standing Guard Duty at an Armory, the Officer Of The Day OOD was checking my post and just noticed my EAS was up that same day 😉👍, then found myself a few hours latter on an Airplane to freedom 🤦‍♂️🤣👍. Today I always find myself laughing when I here about transition into civilian life because I sure wish I had been so spoiled 👍!

People keep saying the trails are closed in California. I can assure you, the vast majority of trails are completely open. Went Jeeping yesterday, Pilot Rock, 2N17X, up through Lake Arrowhead. We even passed a Ranger on the trail who we waved to as we drove by..

You think you need a haircut? I saw my self in the mirror this morning, I thought I’d found the missing link! It was just me.

I just ordered a not cheap Genesis dual battery for my JL especially with the added international shipping cost. Your title scared me but after watching hopefully it wasn't a bad decision as I only have one car 🤣. Great video and keep them coming please

Lite brite is giving their gladiator away..... I want yours way more... Lets do it Brad.... Give away contest😂

I see trail recon,,, I tap ❤️

Brad you're crankin' em' out! Thanks so much for helping us through this weird time. See you on the trail!

Would love to see the Gladiators come with integrated camper style options instead of cab and bed. And of course some sort of Hemi.

I really like the garage coffee series!

What on trail “break” was the the worst and/or most unusual that you have had or seen?

You don't have a dual battery system>>>> BECAUSE THE BATTERY GOD'S LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE LUCKY!!!!!>>>

U should do a review on your goal zero!

You know what, I really love these Garage Coffee episodes. Its so good to actually see you just yourself and all the mistakes. When you said "Jheee you guys are killing me with the names" I actually laughed, usually everything from you is so proper and it was funny to see the flaws without the outtakes! Keep it up!

Why don't you run a long arm lift on your JK.

It would be irresponsible to camp? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Tell me you voted for biden without telling me you voted for biden.

If you drive a Jeep TJ 4.0l would you run a cold air intake or keep the stock air intake box?

RE: New axles; Our plan is if there is any maintenance needed then upgrade to the new shiny part.

Coffee follow question for you... How coming the inside of your cup looks clean?

My transitioning from GM2 to Civilian job was walking across the street to So Cal Edison at the Long Beach Generation Station.. sadly that was short lived as Edison's push for deregulation completely screwed things up.. Edison sold all of their steam generation plant..Been working for DWR for 25yrs since the sell off.. I sure loved operating Long Beach Gen Sta, circa 1928 equipment repowered with Combustion Turbines.. In 1994 after the Northridge Earth Quake, our crew/shift saved the day/grid & San Onofre by being the first plant online to send a 230kv line to Lighthipe and then down to San Onofre.. I think I worked 18hrs that day.. I'll never forget that quake, it shook LBGS for 20mins due to the plant is standing on 40ft creosote poles driven into the mud to bedrock side-by-side.. felt like sea state 5 ocean conditions.. lol

See you got the covid-19 hair-style😉 Noticed you have more than a few handhelds. Do you keep them all charged and ready to go in case of emergency? I like you work bench area! Really can’t wait too retire from the military one day and have a garage with work bench. Have to have a temp area each time a new project comes up like the hood louver hopefully I can do soon(messed up a hood hinge bolt and don’t own a welder so waiting for my Jeep to go to the shop). I don’t think I’ve watched that review of the AEV camper setup. Looks legit but it reminds me of all the times I’ve gone out to do field training in a Army HMMWV. Plus gotta have the back seat for the kids. If anything a build like that but towed😉 For the nuts and bolts that you carry extra when you hit the trail, which components of nuts and bolts do you carry? Been thinking about getting an organizer for my garage but would be smart to have a smaller one for the trail. I’d say I’m curious of the time you’re talking about camping out on the beach and knowing when is “high-tide”? Since being stationed out here in Hawaii for over four years for myself and seven years for my wife I want to say we’re beached out, but I can say we’ll come back to the beach probably in the future over in California or some others on our travels when we’re back in the mainland. Dam those cabinets look nice! Another retirement thing to put on my wish list😉. Lol, babysitting someone on the trail! Sorry that made me laugh. But I’d be curious what trails would you recommend that would give you a good experience prior to trying to tag along with you and Marco? Ya I’m looking forward to starting to getting my badges for trails, but at the same time it’s not that I want to get the badges but also make it an experience hopefully with my family(wife may have to step out for the obstacles if she thinks their questionable). Enjoyed the garage coffee! Awesome video!

Just watched and liked the video, (as always) and stayed till the end where you talked about the badge of honor program Jeep has. It’s a really neat program for all of us Jeep owners. I recently bought a 98 Jeep Xj and my badges from my trip to Moab will be here tomorrow! There’s no community like the Off-road/Overland community.

Hi Brad! I have a question for "Garage Coffee" ep.4. Have you ever thought about taking a long trip in the United States,or maybe in New Zealand,Australia,for example? It could be alone or with Marco,your wife or your son of course,but I mean a trip of several months. Thanks for making these bad times better for us. Stay safe.

Good morning brad! I hope all is well with you and the fam. I’ve enjoyed your new approach of making the best of it in these quarantine times with the garage coffee and answering viewers questions. I like that you address that routine maintenance is major priority before and after your o ff-road trip or road trip in general, including fluid levels and torque specs. I’m not sure if this is already available or not, but I thought a quick reference guide/s (laminated flash cards) of torque specs and bolt for jeeps and other vehicles to keep in the glove compartment for shake down bolt checks. Of course this opens a can of worms for many many numbers for component of many vehicles, especially when aftermarket components have been installed, but I though it would be cool to have. It could also be good information content for the E3 network. Here is something if found on northridge 4x4. www.northridge4x4.com/pages/quick-reference-chart If you use this on your garage coffee questions: From: John H. Beaumont, Texas Hey Brad, before and after your road trips, what do you use to reference for your steering and suspension components torques specs?

I am waiting for the diesel JT to come out, but I can't seem to find enough info on the engine, would prefer to have a cummings cat or Detroit and I am scared about a Jeep diesel

Great episode Brad! Would you ever consider doing some overlanding or running some offroad trails here in Canada?

Being a medic could you go over what a person with limited knowledge should carry with them on the trail. I have CPR and first aid training but just basic.

First, let me say I love every one of your "regular" videos, whether they are a gear review, trail adventure, etc. HOWEVER, I think the silver lining in this Covid19 period is the opportunity for these "Garage Coffee" episodes. Episodes like these are something that everyone in a full-time channel like yours always wants to do, but never has the time due to all the other things going on in the channel. I am LOVING all the random topics, insights, fan thoughts, etc in these episodes! Thank you! Side note: after spending many years on backpacking trails deep in some mountains, and my wife and kids worrying about me, I pretty much went through the same "communications" journey. Sat phones seemed great, but often when deep in a valley you are out of the line of sight to the relatively sparse sat network. That doesn't seem to be the issue with the bi-directional text products like the Garmin InReach. I've enjoyed how simple it is to use (paired with my phone), and how well the coverage is. On to Garage Coffee ep 4 !

Brad love the video man, it would Be awesome if you did a garage walk around!! Showing us your tools, garage set up, how you set up for repairs, etc.. love the videos man! Thank you for keeping us entertained during the shutdown!

The responsible thing would be to not go along with unconstitutional order as you swore an oath too. People need to stop going along to get along.

Happy Patriots Day! (For anyone who doesn't know, April 19, 1775 was the date of the battles of Lexington and Concord, the opening battles of the American Revolutionary War.)

I really like this coffee video. My question is how low do you air your tires when offroad now that you use non bead wheels?

How do you like the 2.0L ? Thanks

Really enjoy your channel: come away a bit smarter and feel inspired to try new things out there. Looking at my 1st dedicated over-landing rig (currently a 97 TJ on 33" is my DD and weekend getaway rig). I REALLY want a Gladiator (because its a Jeep thing), but I can't make the weight work safely. As I look at the kit I'll likely carry (RTT, bigger refrigerator, more water and fuel, etc.) I quickly to get be about 300# over GVWR (w/ 2 adults, 1 teen, and 2 dogs). The Tacoma is even worse. The Ranger is the only one even close - and that's

Perfect way to kick off my Sunday morning with the wife. Thanks Brad!!

This segment should be called: "CoffeeRecon". ;)

Technically all JL and JT come from factory with a dual battery setup... do a video on how it works?

Hi Brad Love the channel! Just had a quick question for those of us who want to go from a factory tire to a size larger (ie 33’s to 35’s) Is there any reprogramming that we have to do to the vehicle to have it adjust to the larger wheels for the speedometer to work correctly? Thanks!

when things open back up, this is April 19, 2020, haha, and little did you know it was going to drag on and on and on and..... lol nearly 2 years later and how is California doing? I knew a guy that was back and forth from Oklahoma to California for a year, I guess his wife is there, and he drove over the road in a big rig, but they ended up leaving California! I think things have been in and upheaval everywhere though! I've seen you doing some videos, so I guess things are doing better for you in Cali. Things in Oklahoma are beginning to pick back up. Crazy couple of years!

@TrailRecon Thanks Brad! I actually went to look at XJs yesterday. Hopefully, I'll get one in the near future/ after quarantine!

I have a 2021 power wagon. I have been watching your videos forever. You have saved me so much money! From not getting onboard air, to this dual battery thing. You name it. I cannot thank you enough for spending money, than giving empirical evidence on why I shouldn’t. You are the f”$&ing man. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your input and experience on all things Overlanding.

I have a question for those 200w solar panels I some of you guys hook up when you set up camp; would one of those keep your battery charged while using an electric blanket? I know Marco has a pretty good power set up in his new 392 now, so just thought you might have some kind of idea how well those 200w solar panels do. Thanks for the content!

Hello Brad. I always enjoy your channel and the recent coffee sessions are a great distraction from the current events our country and the world is facing. Very excited to hear about the E3 Association (Overland). To me the E3 motto is exactly how I feel about Overlanding. To Empower, Educate, and Entertain. Charlie Mike. Bill

Brad, great "real" episodes in this garage coffee series. I recently purchased a JLUR and have the steel bumper like your wife's JL and your JT. Was wondering what you were using for a winch plate? I see lots of options but I've heard a few stories about some being not the right fit, not fitting certain winches or just plain bending under pressure.

That's crazy how different Cali is...I'm in AZ where Deucey also did a 'stay at home order' and all the parks dropped their parking fees so people can go enjoy them for free. As for public land its wide open and perhaps busier than usual! Anyway good luck out there bro this cant last much longer #HeardImmunity

Get the wagoneer or Cherokee chief for your retro build!!. Under rated platform. I spent many years in my dad's as a child then mine back in the 80's and 90's. I would love to build another myself with LS or a early gladiator. Skip the hemi, the LS is such a awesome compact, efficient, powerful, after market supported, dependable platform. Either way do it!!

Appreciate your service. From vet to vet. Army signalman. Love the videos 👍

Brad what are the down sides to the JT? We currently have a JKU and wife drives a JLU. I’m trying to decide between a JLU or JT? Definitely wanting the diesel. I also have Ram 2500 for truck duties.. thanks

Hi Brad, Have you thought of overlanding in a motorcycles such as BMW Adventure bike or KTM or even Honda Africa twin bike ? You should think of that because it is way much fun than a cars

Great video Brad. My question is not very “glamorous” but hey, this is life! What type of solution/product are you using for human waste? Just a bucket and burying?

Would you ever do an axle swap on the Jeep Xj ? If so which axles would you consider, and why... Stay healthy & a big Jeep wave to you and your sons from the Ocean State.

I love the story about the mud caves. I had something like that happen to me at Black Bear pass. I am from Oklahoma and at the trail head I ran into two parked Jeeps. One was from Oklahoma as well. We tuned our CB's to the same channel and had a blast running it with strangers.

Love the garage coffee episodes/ concept. It’s like 8541 tacticals mail call mondays but for Jeeps. Keep it coming!

all i wanted to know was why you didn't run dual batteries i jumped around trying to find out finally gave up still don't know why wish you could have answered this question first would havent clicked on the link if i had known i would have to waste all the time

In your isolation... and not being on trail adventures with Marco.... which of his meals do you crave? It seems his cooking is always part of the adventures!

Brad, I have a 2011 JKU with 155,000 miles in it. The only upgrades I’ve done are Black Rhino Armory Wheels with 33” Nitto Ridge Grappler tires and front and back LED light upgrades. Should I bother trying to transform this into an Overland Rig or would it be better to buy a JLU and start from there? If you think the JKU is fine, what would be the first upgrades you would recommend? Thanks.

You know.. your garage and coffee is the best when I have beer! I laugh so hard after a hard night at work, with you trying to pronounce names. Lmfao

Hey Brad, rolling a 15 JKU sport with 35s...long term plan is to go with a dynatrac proRock 44 up front when the time....cough cough money...is right. I really want to bump up to 37s...am I foolish to do that before dropping the dana 30?

Hey brad, could you please give me a checklist of all the things that need to be taken care of when we want to lift our build and have bigger tyres. I am an absolute beginner and not much aware of all the mechanicals. Also I don't have such specialized brands here in India. I would like to upgrade mahindra(to introduce it to you they manufactured willys jeeps under license, also they have some presence in US as well inthe form of ROXOR) thar(here is the link : www.mahindrathar.com/#!thar-CRDe) And just a suggestion, you along with Marco could start a tutorial series for beginners, what do you say? Also I you plan to go for overlanding outside US, then I invite you to have a trip to ladakh(Delhi -> Srinagar -> drass -> kargil -> Leh -> khardung la -> rohtang pass -> Delhi) and a spiti circuit(in himachal pradesh) thanks

I Really enjoy your channel. Is Jeep missing an opportunity with the Jeep Wrangler Africa Concept vehicle introduced in 2015? Has anyone made their own version? With the gladiator out and diesel (or gas) could be a lot easier. Great look! Your thoughts. Thanks, Ed

Been Jeeping every weekend... In Beautiful Northern Arizona. Camping two weeks ago and this coming weekend as well 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Not being Able to go on BLM land away from all people is insane. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I considered going the dual battery mostly for my cooler. However after doing some research I decided to first try an Odyssey Extreme when the OEM battery in my 2017 JK died. I installed an Odyssey Extreme group 34R and it will run my cooler for well over 12 hours in the most extreme heat and there is still sufficient voltage to start the engine. Yes the Odyssey Extreme is expensive but cheaper than 2 qualities batteries and the dual battery conversion kit. Many years ago I had a dual battery setup on my 1980 CJ 5. This was mostly for my winch but batteries have improved a lot since the 1980’s. Yes I carry a small jump start battery just in case.

Hi Brad, I'm Shlomo Merbaum from Israel and I love your channel and especially the way you do things and your wonderful term "RockLanding" which fits perfectly my way of traveling. Anyway there are 2 issues I wold like to know your opinion/ comment: A. Did you consider sleeping in your Jeep arrangment (with sleeping platform) for your JKU, especially when traveling alone? Sleeping in the Jeep has so many advantages Vs rooftop tent- It's much more lighter, it doesn't affect the center of gravity, It's cheaper and a very nice and easy DIY project, It has better insulation especially in windy conditions, It's easy and quick to set up for a night sleep as much as a rooftop tent and even better in that then the soft rooftop tents. The down side of sleeping in a Jeep- it is tighter and more camped and suites only 2 persons the most. It is suitable onle for 4dr. vehicles. Some sleeping in Jeep solutions needs cancellation of the second raw seats if one wants to be able to seat upright and cofortably on the sleeping platform. B. Why overlanding became so popular in U.S.A. only in the last few years when you have such a vast and beautiful country to explore?

Great vid. Question for next episode. You mentioned in the question about camping with you that don't want to babysit people who are new...which I get. But as new guy in overlanding, wondering have you ever come across a site/group like overlanding 101? Guides, lessons....kinda like adult summer camp???

My Bose Entertainment Center DVD & voice command still works perfectly in my 2008 Avalanche, so, yeah, electronics will eventually need module replacements etc, but analog stuff goes out sometimes too. Otherwise, you might want to get one of those 20yr old retired Austrian Military G-Wagons imported into Colorado. Those old motors run forever.

Hey Brad, I'm an E-4 in the Air Force stationed in Virginia, I want to get out in a few years and maybe move out west to work for an aftermarket company like KC or Rebel Offroad. Any advice on company's hiring Jeep enthusiast veterans? Thanks!

Upfront and most importantly, love the channel. Just one comment on this one: "When everything opens back up in a couple of weeks..." Boy, that Cali crow got eaten, huh? 😆 Keep the wonderful vids coming! Really enjoy the way the TR vids are done.

I love your RU-vid channel,and wonder if you can give me some advice. I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4 door.and recently installed 33" tires. I also installed an HD tire carrier and.mount and the tailgate check strap has come.out. What suggestions do you have for a replacement to keep the tailgate from swinging too wide and support the.larger tires? Thanks.

Before RU-vid I assume Rock-Landing for you as many of us was (and still is) a great getaway or hobby for you right? My question is, do you ever regret doing youtube full time for what used to be a love/hobby? and Do you ever miss exploring without having to record for RU-vid? Do you see yourself stopping youtube anytime soon? Sorry lots of question 😂😅

I often hear 33's are about the limit of stock Dana 44 axles, what do you think of going past that size without beefing up the stock running gear, brakes, etc.. - Rick McNamara WS7PB

QUESTION: I think Marco is amazing but has the toughest job... as a fellow squid, I know that if the food isn't good... you will hear about it. My question is how are the logistics worked out? Does everyone pitch in ahead of time and take over other tasks so he can cook? How does it work?

Gus from Honduras here. If we need to upgrade most systems on a Jeep for overlanding (suspension, drivetrain, tires etc) why go for the Rubicon and not the Sport-S.? I am crunching the numbers, and so far buying a Sport S and modifying it to Rubicon specs, or better, seems like a good way to go, but maybe I am missing something.

What are the best first upgrades for a tj! In your opinion,please keep making videos

Hey Brad, love watching your channel! What do you do with old parts that you replace? Do you save them for later or sell them to make a little money back?

Saludos desde Chile..

Hey brad, I enjoy your videos very much. Have you seen the Maximus 1000 Jeep gladiator v8 from Hennessy performance? What do you think of the modification they have done on that gladiator?

Staying home vs. outdoors during lockdown. Outof your mind

Master Chief! A shipmate here. AD2 back in 2006. Let me send you some puertorrican cofee! I do have a question also about the suspension. Cheers man!

As a silent service vet, don’t get out with a lot of debt. No car payments, credit card, etc. Build up at least $20k savings to give you spending money while you decide what you want to do or where you want to live. This way you won’t be under stress and make bad decisions just to stay afloat!

Brad, is there any way (after current events are pasted us) that Marco and yourself, do a complete walk around of his current kitchen setup? With possible links to products or cooking items he uses? Hope everything is going well on your side of the US.

I just watched this for the 5th or 6th time... At 11:55 you say you're going to wait a couple of weeks until things open up, people get back to work, etc., that shows how optimistic you are! Did you ever get the step for your wife's Jeep?

I just got a Gladiator Sport max tow! I am wanting to install lockers I am wondering what you think between the electronic and air lockers? I am leaning to on board air compressor for lockers and air ups plus I am adopting 2 young children and see lots of bike tires lol I have had electronic lockers stick on my friends rubicon JL and I am not sure how common that is? Hopefully you can shed some light on this for me?

Hey Brad, you should check out Bixby Coffee. Heard about it on a podcast and it’s excellent. It’s a California roaster that ships you the coffee the same day it was roasted and the best part is you can even get it packaged in steeping bags (just add hot water and go!)

Hey Brad as a veteran offroader in the jk can i ask you if in your offroading adventures you get coolant running a bit high at times when you push it for instance around the 230f mark? I get this at times when i push my jk in the desert it climbs halfway midpoint between middle and 3/4 and drops to middle in less than a minute and the coolant temp sets at 230 ish even if i push hard...normal driving even offroad i m solid at 200f and middle of the gauge ...do you get this too?

I'm also looking towards bringing a portable battery. But since you don't have a dedicated dual battery, do then all your lights including camping lights run off the starter battery? Won't it drain if you have the lights on at night? Which lights/accessories are wired to the starter battery and which accessories run off the Goal Zero?

hey Brad, great video.... question. I have a 2dr jk. put a 3" lift on it.. shocks and springs. no arms. stock arms.. it drives like its on its tippy toes so to speak..... should I have went with adjustable arms? short or long

One of the big reasons for a dual battery in the JL/JT is that the factory battery system is a defective poorly engineered 1.5 battery setup which leads to failures, the dual battery setup can mitigate this

One thing I never did like is coffee..( sorry) I'm a Pepsi type. But to let folks know these are sacred things aboard a naval vessel...

Hello Brad I have used 2 of those diesel heaters that you showed at the beginning of your video. Both have leaked diesel after using for a few short hours. There is a hole in the casting next to where the fuel pipe is attached. What the hole is for, I have no idea. I plugged the hole in the first one, which stopped the leaking, but after a few short hours of operation the glow plug stopped working. I got a replacement and it started leaking too. Also it keeps shutting down and I have to restart it. I have a plastic container under the heater to catch the leaking fuel. I have a third heater and will install it later today. I’ll let you know how it works out after using it for a few days. It does put out great heat and uses very little fuel, even though it never shuts off. There’s no thermostat control which is not appealing. You can adjust the output of the heater using the panel or wireless remote. The fuel pump is very noisy. It’s a piston pump. If you or anyone else wants more information or photos of my unit or camper trailer you can email me at cdnbvr@gmail.com. I will answer everybody. Keep up your great work sir. I also like seeing the rigs that your viewers submitted. I hope that you’ll keep doing those videos.

Video in video is a great idea

I am surprised that you have not put a V8 in your wrangler. It seems you have unlimited funds so it seems like $25K would be nothing to you!

I was looking at iceco refrigerators. I have a teardrop camper but the dimensions of the galley kitchen for a refrigerator are not very good so the refrigerator options are limited in my model there is a K2 cooler in the back but I have to deal with ice. I was going to put a 12 volt refrigerator in the back of my Jeep and run it off my car battery for the night in the morning I would plug it into sure power. Do you think a standard battery for a Cherokee would run the 12 volt refrigerator overnight at most 12 hours?

Come to Arizona , get the heck out of California.... worst State to live anyway. Just saying. 40 years ago it was wonderful.

Great video. Based off of your JK love, I would have asked if you had to choose between a fresh JK build and a fresh JL build, which would you choose and why?

Hey Brad, So just one big question. When do you plan on coming to the dmv area to do some camping. Not so much over landing around here but a ton of great camping spots as well as the National forests drives around here? Would love to do a meet up in this area.

Brad - You've mentioned several times about your interest in getting an older or vintage jeep to restore. Could you share your thoughts on how you would go about evaluating one to get. I don't think most neighborhood garages are going to be able help assess jeep upgrades or mod construction. So where would you go - to a local jeep club?

Do you think a solid axel front is necessary for alot of trails easy/moderate? I enjoy passing time with your videos real inspiring stuff! Thank you

What's my favorite Jeep? A 1970 K5 Chevy Blazer with a LS3!!!!!!!!!
