a true saint, thx
Thanks!

Thank you very much!
You're the true MVP here bud!
As for long term reliability, my 2008 JK is currently at 272,000 and still going !
Lucky you. My 2007 jku threw a rod at 99,000 miles.
Diesel ?
Diesel?
Waiting for you to come and enjoy Canada.
As a mechanic that works on a lot of diesel vehicles one thing people don't account for is cost of ownership - oil changes cost more - engine repairs cost more - parts cost more - exhaust system/def system parts not cheap. Sure yours is new but when the warranty runs out ownership can get pretty expensive.
It was the right choice trust me. I just bought my 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon in the diesel platform within the last two weeks. I could tell you this... buying a 3.6 L was never even an option for me. I would’ve bought something used on craigslist and then build it up before I ever buy a 3.6 brand new. Too many issues with valves, lifters, rockers & the oil filter housing unit is just over all a poor design. As a Chrysler Technician I can tell you that I haven’t really seen any major issues with the 2 L Turbo or the 3 L Turbo Diesel. This is the first year that they have put it in the jeep wrangler and it is the third generation of the 3 L. And just last week I found out about the 4XE, That jeep looks really nice and I’m glad that they went with the 2 L turbo as the main power plant for that particular jeep. Also found out that they are going to be released in the 392 which she did a video on not too long ago that thing looks crazy powerful, But the Hemi also has issues with the lifters eating camshafts, exhaust manifold hardware issues that may require you to pull the cylinder head in order to extract.. 🤷♂️ At The end of the Day these were my reasons for going with the 3L Diesel
Have a happy new year and hope to see you on the trails
The guys at CJC are the go to, they are up in LA, would be a great collaboration
Glad you’ve decided to do some Cherokee Chief videos!! Glad we’ll get to see you do some work on it. Looking to get into classic 4x4s for some light off-roading and seeing you work on it will give me some ideas on how to fix stuff and what not
I'm still in love with my JlUR diesel! Same feeling like the first day I got it...just something about it is so cool and unique.
Happy New Year! Love these coffee talks.
Thank you for your Service 👍
Brad! My brother in arms, Happy new year. As a fresh face to the Jeep/ overlanding lifestyle, I'm happy to say you have helped me thru this troubling year and I look forward to watching you tackle America with a smile! Hope to meet you when you hit Massachusetts brother, lean forward in the fox hole HOOAH!
One thing about your videos is they are honest which is refreshing
Thank you!
Good points on the gas vs diesel. Thanks. Happy New Year.
I am super excited about future Cherokee chief videos. Best rig in the fleet!
Happy New Year!
Good first day of 2021 with a coffe video from Brad.👍👍👍
All the best for the new year. God bless.
All the best to you as where!
I agree with you on visiting the states! I did nine years active duty in the Navy (submarines) and have visited at least 12 countries (including 4 years in Japan). It's mind boggling that I've been to more countries than states. Returning stateside, I've been planning to explore more of our country because much of its landscape is so beautiful. Your videos has been a motivation. We have many amazing locations under our noses. I'm building my JKU for the exact same reason.
Thanks for your service!
Happy new year, wish your plan will go smoothly. Hope to visit you sometime in the future and also to see you here at little Israel (great places to explore here) . Happy new year
Happy New Year Brad, to you and your family! Been following your channel for sometime now and look forward to the new year and new adventures!
Happy new year!
Great update Brad looking forward to the Chief content and how the diesel performs
Took delivery of my 1st Jeep last week. Thank you for all the info u have continued to put out there. I went with 2021 Gladiator 3.6 and intend to explore the eastern half of the country(in Ohio) with a few trips a year out west. Please don’t forget about us JT owners out here, many of which were inspired by your Gladiator. Happy New Year and I hope to use my E3 membership to the max.
Congrats on the new Jeep and Happy New Year!!!
Love this series so much. Great job bud
Happy New Year everyone!
Loved your insight into the diesel, would love to see your thoughts on the 4XE vs Diesel if you can manage to drive a 4XE.
Happy New Year and Semper Fi Chief.
Happy New Year Brad. I hope to start my build this year on my 2020 Gladiator Rubi.
She’s been named Waymaker. 18yrs strong with the USCG. 20 and done for myself. Have a great 2021!
Enjoyed waking up to this. Great insight and fun to watch as always. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
Yeah, 2020 was rough. Only bought 3 new rigs...
Must’ve been a rough year lol 😂
Happy New Year, thanks for all the videos last year.
Happy new year!
Retired (2017) SCPO here. Thanks for your service shipmate.
Happy New Year Brad.. Thank you for your service. Also, a lot of good information. Keep them coming... From the Sunflower State.
I have a power wagon too. The trick is learning exactly which parts are the same/different from a regular 2500. Especially in the suspense and drive train. That really unlocks your part select after some research
Great state sweatshirt!!! Can’t wait to see where you’ll head in my state. And others of course!!!
Dropping a bit of a cliff hanger/tease at the end there. Happy New Year. I hope to get out and do a lot of wheeling in 2021 since I bought a Jeep in November.
Love the hat brother!! Hooyah!! Happy new year to you and your family. Cant wait to see what you have in store this year.
Happy New Year! I love watching your adventures.
Happy new year!
Got to look into the south Florida everglades. Tons of trails
Love the Van Halen album cover over your workbench! Well done!!
Love the red. Thanks for your insight. Great video.
Happy New Year!... I'm looking forward to seeing some Power Wagon content soon.
Happy new year! Coming Soon!
Wow thats sound interesting, surely look forward in every place you go to, keep safe and have fun. God bless
I didn't click on this video for the gas vs diesel debate, I'm here to listen to you ramble on about trucks and Jeeps and off roading in your garage for 20 minutes. Because I enjoy it!
LOL! Thanks for hanging out!
if you ship to Hawaii, takes about 10 days from long beach once it ships. Vehicle could spend a few days at port on Sand Island. Your registration and tag are good for 1 year on island before you have to Inspect and Register your vehcile. If any mods are done that alter suspension, or brakes it will have to be inspected by them to sign off on it if your vehicle is there more than a year
Out of all 50 states, Hawaii and Alaska will the the biggest logistical challenge. Driving to Alaska will be fun, but shipping to Hawaii is going to be doable, but a bit of work. Appreciate you insight, thank you!
Top of the morning Brad. Happy New Year! Thanks for all the vids. The material is truly appreciated during these troubling times. Wishing you a prosperous New Year! 💢👊🏻💢
Happy new year and thank you!
Happy New Year to you and the fam. great video. when it comes to reliability, if its mechanical, it will/can break. diesel vs gas is a great conversation. your pros and cons were good. I'm personally just not ready for the switch to diesel. looking forward to some great videos in the future. cheers
Lot's of things to consider for sure. Happy New Year!
Good point about the range! When you started the discussion on gas versus diesel, that's what I initially thought the advantage would be, longer range. That work also sounds amazing, that's the thing I hate about my 4Runner, at the slightest grade the engine needs to kick down to maintain speed, even with stock sized tires.
Hopefully when you make it out to RI the covid stuff has settled down and you can do a meetup! Not a lot of trails to run here, however the Jeep clubs have access to private land so they can definitely take you out. Like I said I have a Toyota, so I can't join, wouldn't be able to keep up anyway LOL.
I'm a big fan of your videos though, so it would be nice just to be able to say hi in person.
Good morning again thank you for serving being a medic and A VERY HAPPY NEW YEARS keep up the great work
Thank you and Happy New Year!
Good morning! Happy new year!
Good morning and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year ! Great plan for 2021 !!! Cheers !
Happy new year!
Very helpful ! Thank you
Can't wait to see more on the Chief
Happy new year for the best 🥂
HAPPY for you, and your enthusiasm for jeep.. Glad to see your ball cap. My brother just got a used Wrangler (2009). Same color as yours Silver. I look forward to a ride. As soon as this virus is corralled. Keep on filming!!!!! 😀😀
Happy New Year 2021 Brad.... lots of fun trips for the Fleet, thanks for this video it was very useful...... I think I'll wait for the 4xe or go for the 2 liter.... hope to meet you one day soon.... if or when you come to jersey or te North East... be safe and also the family.........
Happy New Year
Happy New Year.
Power Wagon, after I’m done with my GCTH. 😁
Happy new year!
Happy New year. I enjoy watching your content. Regards from Germany
I have the twin ARB compressor installed under the front passenger seat of my EcoDiesel Wrangler Rubicon. Works great, stays out of the harsh engine compartment where it could easily be dunked when fording water. Other mounting options exist too. My ham radio is mounted next to the compressor as well, so there's more than enough room to easily accommodate.
You just had to tease us at the end of the video 😕Thanks for continuing to inspire, and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Brother! Thank you for everything you do! I dig the master Chief cap!
Happy new year!
@@TrailRecon I wanted to share with a fun note about old stuff. I served from 1980 to 1984 (YIKES!!!!!!) as an AD (Jet engine mech) for VS-37 on North Island. Talk about Dream Duty. I lived in very southwest corner of IB right across the street from the beach and on the corner of the Tijuana River Estuary, where we used to drink beer on the balcony and watch people sneak up through the wetlands into the US almost every night! I surfed in the mornings worked nights on North Island, when we weren't out WESTPAC. Happy New Year again, and Thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service and sounds like a tough tour of duty!!! Happy New year!
Happy new year from Switzerland!
Keep up the great videos! Love your channel. Semper Fi Master Chief.
Happy New Year's to you and your family keep up the great videos can't see what's new for 2021
Happy new year!
Happy new year! 2012 JKu Sahara 210k miles. Pretty reliable, knock on wood!
Visiting all states is a great adventure. My wife and I started this same plan when we retired a few years ago. Have everything west of the Mississippi covered except North Dakota. Working on the eastern states now.
looking forward to seeing the chief!
Happy New Year Brad from ur fans in Canada 🇨🇦. Can we please have more videos on Power Wagon? Really looking forward to some great content on the truck.
Like the Oregon sweat shirt 👍🏽
I think we’d all love videos on the chief. I know I’d watch
Hey Brad great video. Look forward to next year also. I made my last wheeling trip of 2020 on Dec 31 lol so I have wheeled at least 1 time every month. November we went 3 times. I hope you could visit middle Tn area. A few guys I wheel with follow you and would really enjoy meeting you. So keep us posted if you come to Tn. Happy New Year
Happy New Year
Can't wait for you to get to South Carolina!
You have become so good at your video presentations, Absolutely you should do videos on restoration/repairs on the Cherokee Chief, MasterChief! Love the content here!
Happy new year. I’ve wondered the same thing.
Happy New Year!
We are new to the Jeep world and have learned so much from watching your channel. Love it. My son’s also in the Navy and is deploying soon on the Ike
Right on! Thank you for your sons service!
Come to Mexico, I Live in Queretaro, Marco knows the place. I'll take you both to beautiful places around with my XJ. Have a great year, see you soon.
Yeah, Rafa can get you to his friend El Mencho, he would love your jeep for sure.
@@jesusalbertobf not everyone behave as you are.
@@lscarafaelalcantararabell8478 me porto bien. Es sarcasmo, simplemente a como estan las cosas en tema de inseguridad yo no alentaria a nadie a traer vehículos todo terreno y ultimo modelo a una zona de conflicto
Ah.... Happy New Year Chief!!
When you are ready to come to Canada look me up. Lots of great fishing in Western Canada and fantastic views.
Going to the Cherokee on “light to moderate trails”, next video-extreme rock crawling with the Chief!!
Thanks for the thoughts on the diesel vs gas. I agree with your assessment!
Oh, and I am ok with Wrangler content!! Lol. Cheers
Happy New Year Brad and family!
Happy new year!
Happy new year Brad from the Hemet Jeep Club! I prefer the non edited videos, as a subscriber/viewer it’s like we’re just hanging out having a conversation vs an edited video. We’re looking forward to seeing what your building into your jeeps and what adventures 2021 brings.
Happy new year!
My choice would be the power wagon happy new year
Loving the truck!
Precisely Power Wagon with 3L ecodiesel engine.
Brad, thank you for sharing your experience with the diesel. A lot of people forget it's 400lbs heavier than the 3.6 and has a smaller fuel tank. When you decide to visit Kansas, there are a few places to consider. Tuttle Creek is near Manhattan, KS, and is maintained by the Army Corps. of Engineers. It's primarily ledges, but it's near I-70 so you don't have to travel far if you're playing through. Hands down the best place to wheel here is Kansas Rocks, a private ORV park. If Kansas was a pancake, this place is that extra dribble of dough. You can spend two full days there exploring all the trails (they just expanded with new acreage). The trails range from quick and scenic to "that's a cliff, man." KS Rocks also has primitive camping.
Right on! Will add that to the list, thank you and safe travels to you in 2021!
Gotta come to east coast Canada. Its something people never forget 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great video Happy New Year
Happy New Year!!! Senior Chief!!! I've enjoyed your videos over the last year & a half since subscribing 2 your channel. Keep the Videos coming. 🐊😎🍻🤙
Happy new year! Thanks for being a long time subscriber!
Master Chief
If you get to the east coast, you might enjoy heading to Uwharrie National Forest and heading north through George Washington National forest. Great trails, beautiful mountains and plenty to do and see all the way, such as the Blue Ridge Parkway and Rausch Creek up in PA! Looking forward to your content in the new year and have a great 2021!
thanks for your service
Thank you!
Happy New Year Brad!
Happy new year!
On the other side of the garage...a new camper/trailer??? Happy new year Brad!
Happy New Year, Brad. Given that you're in the San Diego area, I'd love for you to test out an Ursa Minor jeep top on your travels across the states.
Hey Brad. Happy New Year!! Love the channel..fyi...there is actually a power wagon Moab day..theres slot of VIDS on you tube..that truck can go to some pretty surprising places. I'm so on the fence on whether to get a gladiator or power wagon..and your new decision didnt help lol. Keeps the videos coming. Hopefully I'll see yo uh on the trail someday!!
great show Doc!
Big bend is a must. Not on the way to anywhere, and definitely not convenient to get to but it’s a beautiful place, like no other!
most people under-estimate the power wagon. it's incredibly capable stock, and once you put even one size larger tire on it the ability just goes up. i've seen (and taken) them places that I was going "no way" and it handled it just fine. look at some white knuckle offroad sliders for that though, yes it'll add some weight to the truck, but you can save a huge repair when you inevitably hit the rocker panels on a big rock. i've hit my sliders a few times, and just touch them up with some black paint.
A couple weeks ago I went wheeling with my local jeep club we were at sand hollow and someone brought there power wagon and im not gonna lie it did pretty dang good for what it is it definitely impressed me
Happy new Year Brad. I sure enjoy your content and just how honest ans straight forward you are with your information. I appreciate that if you don’t know you don’t act like you know. That is kinda rare. I have a 2020 JTR and I am enjoying it mostly. It was already modified when I bought it. I have a few questions, do you have a forum for me to ask those questions or where is the right place to ask those questions?
Thank you, appreciate that! Hit me up on instagram is usually the best place.
Have you ever considered making your gear in your rig a little bit more modular? So when your not on the trail you can remove the kitchen, refrigerator or other bulky heavier items. Things your not gonna be using or needing driving in the city. Great video, thanks for the insight. Have a happy new year!
Happy New Year.
Happy new year 2021 !
Happy new year!
Great Video and I really like your channel.
I was pretty much in the same situation for a while where I had been to more countries than states, now I think it is pretty close. When you go to NC the place to go wheeling and camping UWharrie National Forest in Troy, NC. There are some tough trails and some easy trails and everything in between, NC is hot and humid in the summer so I recommend spring or mid/late fall. You will need a pass to use the park but it is $5 for a day and $30 for a year.
Visiting all the states is a great idea and I look forward to the videos of your trips. As always a great video, and awesome fleet of vehicles.
