- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- In this episode we take a look at a very well built 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The owner is a good friend who is what I consider to be an expert on my favorite trail, Valley of the Moons in Jacuma, CA. He has done a lot of work to this Wrangler and is getting ready for a LS3 conversion which will bump his horse power up to 450... can't wait to see that!

This guy is a very straight forward simple answers kind of guy.
How you like the lights?
I like the lights
No much of a talker. I like it
This is cracking me up. That's a tough interview Brad! Almost yes or no answer. Comparatively he rambled on about the rear bumper, lol.
This was only the 5th one of these I ever did... I think we've improved a bit. LOL!
Love the outtakes, it's harder than it looks
Thanks! We had a blast filming it eve if we had to do things a couple times
TrailRecon it kind of looks like tmartns
man this owner seems so humble.
That blue colour looks amazing
another good one. I'm learning its a never ending process to jeep mods!
sweet jeep, I was thinking about that winch glad to hear someone has had good luck with it.
A lot of people look down on the Badlands winch but in 2 years it has not failed me.
I have a 2012 Wrangler Sport Unlimited. It came new with a 4-inch combo lift and 35x12.50s on 20-inch Mayhem wheels mounted with Federal Couragia M/Ts. I'll be swapping these out for 35x12.50 BFG A/Ts on 17-inch Black Rinos this summer.
MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!!! Man that's ALL it takes and we'd all have GREAT rides. Guess some of us just have to just suck-it-up and be happy with our little JK 2-door Sports and piece-meal parts when we can. But these rigs sure are pretty to look at (and dream about).
Ugh i just got the same color Jeep and its absolutely beautiful! I love seeing the different things that i could do to mine!
It's a great color! Have fun with your upgrades!
I really like the blue. One of my favorite color Jeeps! Great video. Thx!
Agree, the blue is a great color! Thanks!
Love the bloopers at the end! That was something new! You should do that for every video and maybe even have a bloopers reel!! Yeah! An entire video of bloopers!
one day, one day! my jeep will look like that! thanks for that video I can actually see how my blue rubicon can look with mods
cisco if i can answer any questions for you let me know
joe caldwell will do thank you!
joe caldwell where is the valley of the moon trail?
Cisco Valdez it is just outside of Jacumba California. If your local to Southern Ca look me up on facebook as I am always making runs to The Valley Of The Moons.
The outtake at the end was a nice touch. Great looking rig too
We had a blast filming this and just couldn't stop laughing at ourselves.
The bloopers were funny...i can tell you have great time man.. well done as always.
Awesome Jeep Joe! Gives me some things to aspire to! Great walk around Brad, thanks!
I LOVE THE OUT TAKES!!! I'm still laughing!
It was fun to laugh at ourselves.... I can't tell you how much I was laughing while editing. Fun video to make! Thanks!!
Thank You John TrailRecon really made it fun
Brad can you do something on a front camera install. Recommendation for unit and camera would be awesome. Loved this rig.
Always love the videos. I loved that you added the bloopers this time. Always great to end the videos with laughs. :) I cant wait for the next one.
Thanks! We had a good time, so I thought I'd share us being fools!
Please setup a Dropbox where viewers can record their own jeep, and then drop a video for you. Then you can simply narrate their list of parts. It would be cool to see those East coast jeeps too.
The bloopers where funny. Should include them in more videos. .lol
I love jeeps, especially the wrangler but i prefer the wrangler unlimited because its more popular and looks a bit cooler but all wranglers are so manly and raw and theyre very good on and off road and theyre very popular in america and out and theyre really nice looking and really good with modifications
The front bumper isn't Atlas, it's an XRC GEN2. Atlas is full width. Looks great though.
love your outtake's at the end, another great video.
Always good to laugh at yourself! Thanks!
Nice setup....LOVE the color
You're a pretty good interviewer for a "small" channel.
subbed this channel is one of my new favorites
When I started looking for my first jeep, I wanted the blue. I missed a very clean nice one by a day. I do have a jeep now, not blue, but I still love it. Did your buddy ever get the LS3 engine put in his jeep. Seeing this video has a little age on it, I was just curious. Thanks again for sharing and have a blessed weekend.
Dale
We added a GM 6.2 LT1 and GM 10 speed transmission from Motech in Vegas in 2022
that's the lift am looking at myself. And that hood looks great
The Metal Cloak Game Changer is a great lift. I would do it again in a heart beat
I have a Ripp supercharger on my 12 JK and love it, might be a cheaper route than a LS motor swap.
Interesting you should mention that. Joes Jeep had had a lot done to it since we filmed this video, to include adding a Ripp supercharger just last month..... he was having challenges finding someone who would install and LS and guarantee it would pass smog here in CA.
Nice build !
Thank you
Wow awesome rig bro
Love the bloopers. Nice rig can't wait to see it perform with the LS3.
Nice build. Wondering what cameras you are using with your head unit.
nice video Brad funny bloopers!
Yay, I'm not the only one who can't talk straight. LOVED the bloopers, I hope you keep including them. Nice rig, and good interview.
+chris e We had a great time laughing at ourselves for sure! Thank you!!
Love these videos.
Thanks!
Thumbs up and really dig the outtakes!
Thank you!
Jeeps are for me to keep. 😊❤️
Awesome Video as aways.. Joe's jeep is a beauty!
Thanks and agree... a great looking Jeep!
If you guys go to the Rubicon, and I am not invited. I will be sorely upset. I live a few hours from it and am always up for the trail!
We are going to need someone that has done the trail that can lead us.
Awesome jk. keep the great content coming.
Appreciate it, than you!
Love the hood
I love the outakes
Intro song is love
Anyone know what song it is?
Black rims looks nice.
Thank you
Oorah!
Great jeep! Love the color!
Cool video. Love that Blue
Awesome jeep, no doubt he enjoys his Hobby!
He is addicted to off-roading!
That’s a badddddd Jeep!
nice ride
This is my dream Jeep I wish I had the money for one
Don't tell the owner that, it will go to his head! LOL! It's a great looking rig!
really
Great video! Awesome rig!!!
+Rocky X TV Thanks... I love the hood!
Please do one of the yellow TJ/LJ
Great suggestion... I'll have to ask him next time we are on a run together. Thanks!
Its my next ride for sure. Mustang gotta goo
Dude you need to come to Chicago, man do I have a jeep for you to see...
Would love to head up North.... just not in the winter!
TrailRecon that's the best time! Snow wheeling!
Jeeprag
@@TrailRecon 🥶💙😀
Really enjoy your videos dude. Keep 'em coming :)
Thanks, appreciate it!
Be more honest. Those tires make so much noise on the road that you can’t even hear your radio. Expert.
keep em coming!! so does anyone have an older Jeep??
+mark gueren Thanks! I'll be on the hunt for some older Jeeps... any special requests?
TrailRecon idk...YJ, YJ, an older nice CJ...5 or 7....just a thought...
mark gueren I got an 82 Cj8 Scrambler 👍
nice Alex vielma!!! I love the old scrambler!!
mark gueren not the prettiest thing at the moment. But runs like a champ. Just did a fuel injection. Hopefully I can get a rig walk around on it. All stock.
Very nice!
would I be correct if I said that a suspension lift creates more ground clearance between the bottom of the ladder frame chassis of an SUV & the ground surface??? In turn aiding in increased break over angle!!! Meaning a suspension lift also raises the chassis frame as well since the suspension (hangs below the chassis frame) is attached at or marginally below the chassis level!!!
nice jeep love that hood
Enjoyed very much!!
SWEET !!!
+Rick Riccar So sweet!!
that thing is a tank bad ass
It's a great rig! He has done a lot to it since we did this video and will be adding a super charger soon.
TrailRecon has he gotten the lsd conversion yet?
Alek being that I live in Kalifornia the LS conversion has to many hurdles to jump through with no guarantees.
I'm thinking of buying a 2003 jeep wrangler sport auto with 88k miles and a 2002 jeep wrangler X with tires rims winch lift light bar bumber... it would be awesome if you could look at them thru pics or even just give me some advice on what to look for when buying a jeep
nice jeep
Yes very very nice Jeep
Very nice indeed!
another beautiful Jeep!
I agree!
Bery clean
Keep rolling....
Great videos!
Thank you!!
TrailRecon hey nice channel I really like all the videos you put. had a few questions, I own a jeep wrangler sahara 2015 and had questions if you can help me?
Are those still stock axles? I have a 2013 jku and I am putting on 18' rims with 37' tires and was wondering if the stock axles would be fine for now?
Thanks!!! Awesome looking jeep!!!👍🏼
Rlphsalazr1 jku sport? or jku rubicon?
Austin Eaker jku sport
Rlphsalazr1 you're definitely pushing it lol. Running 37s is kinda risky, if you had a rubicon you could upgrade axles and run 40s but even that's pushing it
Austin Eaker what about if I put a truss kit sleeve and gusset? I don't do too much off roasting just here and there eventually I would like to upgrade the axles
Rlphsalazr1 if you did that with the axle shaft upgrade you should be able to run 37s but it all comes down to how much you offroad and how hard you go with it. might want to regear with it too
I love the hood!!!! is that add on's to the original hood, or a whole new hood???? where can you get it???
Agree, it's a great looking hood! It is a replacement and here is the link: amzn.to/2lL7Z6Z
looking it up now!!!!!!!!!
hey,
which is the Security Box in the vid..1 under the seat..
can you send me a link..
thnks!!
amzn.to/2lduq3U
how much does the air system in the back cost?
The power tank can be built for around $125.00 or a 15 pound tank can be purchased for about $300.00 to $500.00
Hello, I'm new to this channel. Do roof mounted led light bars cause wind noise? And how are you able to cover it? Thanks!
Welcome to the channel! Depending on the brand and how it's mounted, they can make wind noise. My KC Pro6 is very quiet. There area several cover options for different lights.
TrailRecon. Thanks. I love this channel and I've subscribed! I'll look into the KC Pro6
I have the same rear bumper. What kit do you have to mound your jack to the bumper?

How did you get the license plate mounted on this bumper I’ve been wondering how people use license plates if they didn’t want a Winch
I see in the description up above it says "XT Series Rims," would these be XD 798's ? I did a google search for XT Series and didn't find them.
They are the XD series 798s
Thanks !
sooo did he decide to forgo the ls3 and go to a blower I think he is in one of your newer videos and i see a intercooler.
Yes I installed the RIPP SC. The LS swap was a little out of reach so the SC is a stop gap for now.
how did the RIPP do? That will be the last thing I do after axles but its coming. I dont want to LS swap until I absolutely have to, that being said the first time I have to pull the 3.6 to do any work on it personally it probably wont go back in.
The SC is a good stop gap for street driving. It offers very little advantage on the trail. The V8 is where its at if you can afford it
So how do you do an LS3 in Cali and keep it CARB legal? I thought there was a loophole if you stayed with the same manufacturer which would be a Hemi instead.
no loop holes for Hemi or Ls swap. Once the conversion is done you have to take it to a referee and you and your wallet are at his/her mercy
Where can I find decent shop nearby Los Angeles so I can modify my jeep?
Rebel Off Road is not too far from LA. What kind of work are you looking to do?
3.5 or 4 inch lift and 35 tire.
Where is your business location so I can reach you any time soon. Thank you
Ssswwwweeeeeetttttttt
Very sweet!
So many changes that means it wasn't good enough to begin with .This vehicle should be available Standard equipment, like it is in the show room.
What kind of camera system is he using ?
I am using the jeep display with the Lock pick and 2 cheap amazon cameras
What is his favorite trail
What headlights does he have?
anyone have a opinion on the fox 2.5 vs 2.0 worth the money??
Scott all I can tell you is that I love my 2.5s. If you can afford them get them
Does anyone know how I can get my 20” as dark as his?? I can’t tell if it’s tint or paint...
What headlights are those? Does anyone know
They are Peterson head lights
What head light are those
Max speed 40 mph
Is the hood the DV8 hood
It's the avenger hood.
TrailRecon DV8 has the same hood.
Question I have flat fenders on my Jeep and inside the wheel is all exposed now because it’s thinner then the stock flairs. My question is it ok to leave it exposed like that or should I purchase the inner liner they sell for the flairs.
I know folks that leave it exposed, but I just purchased new fenders and I will be installing the fender liners to have the added protection.
TrailRecon thanks like I know it will prob get muddy in there that’s fine but like as long as it doesn’t start rusting out of some gets into the motor. I may purchase it soon any way just to be on safe side
Mine has been exposed for 2 years no issues. I see a lot of people having rubbing issues with after market inner liners
Hmmm.. 2 door or 4 door ?
It's an unlimited if ur asking what his is.
What axles you have under there?
the front axle is a stock rubi axle that has been sleeved, trussed and gusseted. the axle shafts are stock. I would not run 37s with out the for mentioned mods.
Would it be ok to run 35s without modding the axles (other than the gearing)?
dtfcpdx 35s are good
I bent my front 44 running 35" toyo mud terrains, as long as you go easy you should be fine
@@joecaldwell2818 i know this vid is a little older but would you say 35s or 37s are about the same thing and they need reinforcing....im on the edge, really want 37s but dont look forward to that laundry list of to do's. if 35s pose the same threat as the 37s then i may as well go 37s. any advice?
how much is this?
are you looking to buy it?
joe caldwell how much is it?
Start with a $44,000.00 JKUR and start adding. Probably $70,000 or so
"More than you can afford pal" then Vin Diesel says " Smoke him"
ราคาครับ😊😀☺😃😊😁😆😊😁
So is this a sport Jeep ?
Nope, a Rubicon
Thank you bud
whats the blue color code ? can you please
PBJ
