- We had been planning this Mojave Road overland trip for several months and we would have never imagined we would get hit with a snow storm along the way. We spent 4 days and 3 nights along this historic trail exploring the interesting geological structures, historical landmarks and quickly man made relics.... it was truly and unforgettable adventure! #mojavetrail #jeepwrangler #overlanding

This is my kind of wheeling. The extreme stuff is great to watch and all but this is more what I'm interested in. Great episode as always.
Totally agree!
same here..rock crawling is like opening up your wallet and working overtime cause something is guaranteed break
@@pmurphy12667 plus you go 2mph all day
Same. To me, wheeling is getting out and getting into nature. I don't need my rig to go up a 45⁰ rock face. I need my rig to get me somewhere my wife's CX5 can't.
Brad, another incredible film. Thanks for setting up the camera, driving back and forth multiple times, exporting footage, trimming, moving, recording voiceovers, searching for all the right music, and adding the effects to make our experience better. It’s not wasted on us, WE LOVE IT!
Thank you so much! I genially enjoy trying to capture the adventures and share it with you all.
@@TrailRecon You videos speak for themselves. Superb job of sharing with your viewers, Brad!!
@@TrailRecon I'm sure you've probably said this previously, but what brand of grill does Marco have that he's using in your videos? Thanks.
Jeremy McLerran was thinking the same thing. Great quality you can tell the work put in was immense!
instaBlaster...
Thanks for putting GPS coordinates in the video. Makes it much easier to plan a route and know where the landmarks are. Like you said, can't stop for too long because of how long the trail is.
Glad it is helpful!
What a dreamy trip. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful and surprising trip. All the pleasure of snow without the mud. Not many people get to experience mojave road like you did.
I do not know why people do not enjoy being out in the desert. I see nothing but remarkable beauty all around! As well as being able to see for ever! Thanks, a fun video!
The snow made it perfect!
Maybe Marco should start his own "Camp Cooking with Marco" channel... Those tacos looked amazing. Wouldn't mind getting the recipe...
Or, a real sample! Yum! 😋
I would religiously watch that.
Jeremy McHenry I totally agree, but at least now we got the book 🇺🇸😎🥓🍻
Absolutely fantastic what Marco is doing out on the trail...
I would subscribe
Totally would subscribe
I put a rock there about 18 years ago
Tony Wright - Thats crazy. I turned 18 in 2018 and i drive a 2008 Wrangler that my dad bought brand new. Its so cool knowing that i first sat in that wrangler when i was 8. Now im 18 and i drive it daily. So its even cooler hearing you put a rock there almost when i was born.
Jonathan Michael that’s awesome. I get my dads 4runner Trail when I turn 18 in march. Can’t wait to daily drive it
I left it at 18 likes
Having Marco along as the cook makes this so much better! lol
Dude I could smell those fish tacos!
He is such a great camp cook!
@@TrailRecon i was always the camp cook on the pismo trips. that was long ago before they started counting vehicles. 4th of july would see 100,000 people.
As usual, you knocked it out of the park and into Mojave Desert 🏜

My wife and I are researching overlanding and extended camping off-road. This is one of the channels that we’re gathering a wealth of knowledge from. I can only hope that when we finally take the plunge and begin outfitting a rig that we find people even half as cool as you to share some trips with.
Great channel. Great info. Keep up the awesome work.
Brad, that was awesome!! Your adventures get better and better!! The snow was a great unexpected highlight that's for sure. Thank you for sharing the gps coordinates, and those recipes!! Thanks again Brad!!
Wow, talk about an EPIC adventure!!!! Thanks for taking the time to put together another awesome video, Brad!
Does Marco have a camping cooking channel? Fish tacos looked good. I would love to learn how to cook some good camping food instead of hot dogs and burgers. Great trail videos can’t wait to get on a few of them.
I could watch these desert adventures for hours and I do. Many thanks to all who contribute to make your videos the success they are.
I got caught in that storm too Brad (on the Mojave Highway). But in my Hyundai Santa Fe AWD (aka not a Jeep). After hours on the road got turned around by CalTrans. Two feet of snow. Damn! Now you gotta give us a schedule in advance for your wheeling trips and then we can drop in on Marco for breakfast. Marco is the man!!
Another great video! Love what you’re doing man!!
I never thought I would say, "back in the day" but damn... so many gadgets....
we did this in old xj's with broken axles bla bla bla. nice work!
Great video! Thanks so much! Stuck at home with chronic pain but my 2017 Wrangler lets me get out and enjoy friends w local Jeep clubs. Mojave Roads now on my bucket list. Keep em coming!!😁😎
Another gem of a video with just the right balance of off-road driving mixed with the highlights of the various rigs in your group and Marco (and the others) and their food preparation. Well done!
Another great adventure! That snowfall was a gift from the trail Gods..
The snowfall really was a gift!
You eat better on the trail than most do in their own home! I love exploring old Land marks like you did here and thinking of those that used them
They were eating the best parts, not the byproducts.
I know I'd rather eat fish and meat than tofu and rabbit food.
Enjoy your vegan food. I'm sticking to real meat and real fish and real poultry. You'll never convince me to eat vegan and I respect your decision to eat vegan. That's the difference between tolerance and intolerance.
@@AlaskaErik sounds like vegan is a libtard too.
TRUTH!
Thanks for showing that trip. I used to travel the Mojave Road probably once a year but the last time was about 30 years ago. It doesn't appear to have changed much. I never made it across the dry lake as back then it usually wasn't dry.
I’m in love with that Jeep truck conversion
What is with the flashing lights. That would drive me crazy if I was behind that.
Judson Gutheil those are trail light. Normaly used in race likethe baja. It prevent you from ramming the other vehicule when in convoy and lifting dirt.
@@cassias456 hey...could I get your email address.
I have a few things i would love to ask and also propose
Victor Keya you can ask here bud...
Vital if you're kicking up dust behind you. It'll save you a back bumper replacement.
@@cassias456 Yeah that jeep is not a racing vehicle in the baja. Jeep owners are a bunch of posers. Fuggin lame
This made my day, great cinematography! This is the video I needed to talk some friends into a great trip as this. Thank you for sharing and being honest about the road and breakages. That is important.
So great to hear! I hope you guys are able to put together a great adventure!
God dammmm... thats all my choice.. thanks for sharing this plesant video... plants, rocks, desert, jeeps, food,Weather,friends and Location. Thums up.👍4u .
I'm glad and honored to be able to see your video of the wonderful dynamic running, cooking, and camping in the wild. I will continue to subscribe to your channel. From South Korean TH-camr Wongkham.❤❤❤👍👍👍
Brad, just an awesome video, the scenery shots are incredible. Hard to image snow on (or just off) the Mojave Trail. The last time I was on the Mojave Trail I had to put up with wind and heat. Marco's fish tacos looked great, he really needs to think about putting out a skottle cook book.
epic video, was just on that road couple weeks ago.
I love Marco! Everybody needs Marco in their team! Go Mr. Marco
Joshua trees are also in Arizona, in the Sonoran Desert. Joshua Tree Scenic Byway(US93). Thanks for sharing your videos. Great places to visit that you share
As a mexican
I approve of those tacos
The beer batter looked pretty good
I can only imagine how good they were
Another hit brother!!!!
It's always a great adventure when you are along!

You're really quite blessed with phenomenal friends, resources, and adventures, Brad! Makes it much easier to plan a route and know where the landmarks are.
Man you make me want another jeep I was 16 years old in 1975 I bought a new 1975 jeep Renegade canary yellow with black stripes it was all metal no plastic it would go anywhere total cost $ 5.800 dollars what I would give to have it back I have a 2019 jeep Cherokee now but nothing like the old one watching these videos really making me want a Rubicon thanks for sharing these awesome videos.
every single one of your videos gets me fired up to get out and get adventuring. ive got my old daily driver '87 samurai ive been getting ideas for getting set up to do some micro overlanding up here in the bay area/ tahoe region. keep up the great work!
Right on! The Samurai is such a capable off-road vehicle!
Bro!! I got an 87 suzi tin top!! Hell yea!
Outstanding!! I felt like I was watching a National Geographic documentary. Beautifully filmed & the narration on point. Very entertaining! Keep up the great work, hope I see you on trail some day!
Wow, that's a great compliment, thank you!
Looked like so much fun Brad !!! And the food looked Amazing !!! Until next time , take care !!!
Ahhhhhh this video no these videos are amazing along with marcos cooking. I think we all need a traveling marco !!!
“For every 1000 feet it only goes down 2 degrees...” Starts snowing 😂. But seriously I wish I could take a trip like that. Great job Brad keep it up!
No scripts here... we all knew what he meant! Thank you!
It's called lapse rate. Generally speaking -3.5F for every 1,000ft gained is the accepted number but it techically varies with moisture content in the air. Dry air will see a larger drop of up to around 5.4F+- while moist air will see less of a drop at around 2.7+-. It's just easier to say -3F drop per 1,000.
Marco is wearing the VTX shirt we embroidered! 😊 also the spot Marco stationed at New York Mountain, that’s the same spot we stayed last year in January! It was super cold at the mountains! Great video!
Awesome shirt! You can get it from VTX! It was a little chilly that day!
OVRLNDX Yeah it’s a great shirt 😁
Wow what an epic trip and marco fish tacos made me hungry 👍👍👍
I just returned from Mojave last night, (4 days- Balancing Rock to the Water Crossing) and had to watch this video again. What a great experience Mojave Road was. Thanks for the tips on making it such a successful trip. The camp in the New York Mountains was definitely the best of the 4 camps I stayed at. Balancing Rock was a close second. I missed the Rock House somehow, but managed to see everything else and more. I even saw Marco’s rock on the monument, still near the top. The crossing was deep, (About half way up the doors) and a little made its way into the cab, but It was dry by the time I got home. My Jeep did extremely well, and luckily suffered no trail damage. I’ve got to say, that was one of the best trips I’ve been on. Thanks again! OIIIIIIIO
I live in the UK wow you guys are so lucky to have all that space to drive in ive just subscribed as i have had land rovers most of my life but iam going for a change my parents passed away leaving me and my sis there lovely 4 bedroom house with large back garden so with the proceeds once payed off everything iam going to get a jeep Rubicon years ago i had a jeep Cherokee 70s model the big one which did about 8 miles to the gallon so iam going for the v6 model right hand drive over hear ive had a range rover 3 series 2 land rovers and ive been interested in getting a jeep for a while now as i own a plain station wagon plus my wife hates being low down she never forgave me getting rid of the range rover she like to be sitting high up and so did i you live and learn as i can gather as my old jeep was reliable after i rebuilt it as it was dilapidated when i bought it but was great once i updated the wiring put an alternator on it halogen lights and loads of relays as it had none i had it for 6 years even when it nearly bankrupted me in petrol consumption as fuel is not cheep over in the UK its now five pounds eighty pence a gallon and is seven dollar forty-five a gallon but i loved that jeep so easy to work on as i am a mechanic now early retired through injury at work i worked for the R A C the royal automobile club for fifteen plus years and loved every minute of it and wish i was still there so anyway iam defiantly getting a 4 door wrangler Rubicon hopefully a new one or at most 2 years old depending what cash is left over plus i have got to spoil the wife a bit as well as she has looked after me while i am disabled i have a back problem and before you say i must be mad i have been off roading with friends since my injury and it doesn't harm me i find it weird i was expecting to wake up next morning in agony but no i am fine iam on morphine every day its not like your stuff no high from ares as it has been removed so i can still drive which is great they should give it to you guys as there an addiction epidemic over in the US i see i don't take it all the time but winter is worse anyway so the Rubicon doesn't need much work doing to it to make it off roadable light bar straps a winch warn if i can afford it my old jeep had one on it already so did my range rover we used to belong to a great off road club which i shall rejoin again after quite a few years absence we do have quite a few off road places to go to obviously not as much as you guys have we don't have desert lol in England but there is a lot of mud so i will need some very good deep tread mud terrain tyres with bead locks on the wheels i wish i could drive were you guys are but you never know maybe i could hire a jeep and come for a months stay and join a party me my wife and my grown up son who will share the driving with me now that to me would be a fantastic holiday also to meet some great people and make new friends once i get my jeep i will upload a link for you guys to have a look at it and see what you think once ive done a few modifications plus i can not wait to get back off the road and have some fun as i miss the friendship you make when doing this in an organised manor joining a off road club is like extending your family to me so happy trails guys .buy the way the video was fantastic i have subscribed liked and pressed the bell cant wait for your next video so buy guys from RUGBY ENGLAND UK

Way to go brad.....you def have a gift!
Amazing video 🚙👍🏼 Thanks for sharing . 😃👍🏼
Dang it now I'm gonna have to go to the monument in my stock ass jeep just to see what the plaque says
Marco needs to publish a cookbook
Ok, so I just spent 4 night 5 days out along the trail. All thanks to this video!!!! I didn't do the whole trail but ended up at Caruthers Canyon!!!! As I drove up, I came to the spot you guys camped at where it snowed. I was like OMG, I'm here, I made it! This is my first actual off road trip and loved every minute of it! That canyon area is beautiful and just so incredible to have in the middle of the desert. Thank you again and I look forward to watching more of your vids!!!! 🤘
Just letting you know that I am living vicariously through your videos, man.
One day soon I'll have a Jeep Wrangler and do these trips.
OIIIIIIIO FOREVER 🚙
Love your video! As always you knocked another one out of the park! Thanks for the gps coordinates! Keep up the good work!
We just bought our first Jeep Wrangler, an 08 Rubicon Unlimited, after owning a 96 Jeep Cherokee for a few years. Your videos are fun and inspiring! They make my wife and boys want to go on adventures! Thanks for your channel, the videography is fantastic.
I did the water crossing on 1/2/19 it seamed much deeper but I only have a 2"lift on 34" tires. We were the first ones through that day and it was covered in about 1/4" of ice all the way across. Glad we made it, lol.
Great video! but, 34:19 "IRREGARDLESS" LOL :)
We let that go unless your from the “Department of Redundancy Department”. Another great video from TrailRecon.
In case it hasn't been mentioned b4, you would be shocked at how much better a campfire would be if you would tote along a washing machine drum. Put it up on several football sized rocks. The wood burns much more efficiently, slower, the heat retention will amaze everyone. You will burn so much less wood and the warmth that radiates in all directions will blow you away. The steel of the drum heats up and radiates a tremendous amount of heat. The rocks provide a taller heat blanket as well as providing air flow and also heat up and radiate heat. Try it once and you will never go back to pit campfires again. I realize space is limited with your rvs but this you WILL make room for. Regular campfires loose more heat than they radiate.
Weight and storage make it impractical/impossible to take overlanding. It does help produce a better campfire, though.
My volcano stove works like a washer drum (like we use at Glamis!) It also works like Marco's flat grill. Also works anywhere you can't have a fire directly on the ground. Most highly recommend!
How many hours to cool down???
I had to go back and watch the walk around for Kate the Jeep. I kept thinking dang that thing sounded much more different...I have no idea how I missed that video. Great build.
I don’t own a Jeep and I hate fixing things (mechanical) but that might just change after watching this. The comradeship and all the cool gadgets/equipment you need to take trips like this made me smile and laugh the video! Awesome way for me to end my week watching this at 1am🤓
wish we had trails like this in New England :(
Sounds like you need to make a road trip west!
Im in MA I share your pain. Only thing I got is mudding which I've grown to hate...or drive an hour to Cape Cod to take it on the Beach which is always a fun time.
we have plenty of great rails in western ma and NH and VT actually
JailBreak Overlander I’m from Western Mass, where are the wheeling trails?
Awesome trip man ! I'm European but i would really love to make such trip anytime soaking and experience all stuff out there.. where i live (Romania) we do have some nice mountain roads and twice /year we do take trips with Dacia Duster club owners something like the off-road gang trip you have at the beginning of this adventure .. so anyway really glad i watched your trip so maybe if i will ever have the chance to fly there i might rent a Jeep & grab some camping gear and hit those amazing trails.. if you do more adventure trips like this please up-load them so we can get more inspired for future vacations.. tanks ! ;0)
Pop Laurentiu I’d love to see some video of your Romanian mountain trips!
I would love to head to Europe, rent a Jeep and do the same!
@@TrailRecon that would be nice overland bound members inviting you, we are here all over Europe and for the ones that I know, we would love to help you get on the trail!
@@mazevx2451 We don't have so many technical trails like you have on the west coast, but we do have a lot of great mountain overland drives here in Europe. Especially cool places to go in Turkey, even if it is not the safest at the moment.
@@pablomax3045 I'm sure you wanted to answer to trailrecon, not me 😉
When I see a new video from TrailRecon I look forward setting aside time with a drink and a comfortable chair to relax and vicariously travel around the California area.
Heck ya! In front of the TV is the best way to watch adventure videos!
Fantastic adventure. I grew up in the desert of SoCal and definitely took that for granted. Your videos and adventures make me regret that I don’t have those trail options in my backyard anymore. Keep them coming!
My 10mm socket is still at the mailbox lol
It was still there 2 days ago.
The key to those tasty fish tacos was the old bay.
Great trip thanks for taking me along!
Awesome vid....great group of people having a blast in the Mohave
Now I wanna bring one of my rock to there too. LoL
It's worth it!
Brad, amazing video as always! Still say you have some of the best content on TH-cam. Cant wait for the next video!
Right on, glad you are enjoying the content!
What a pleasant, totally enjoyable video… thanx for sharing !
I just watched this video with my son. He loved it. Great quality!
That’s it ... I’m Selling my race car and outfitting my tahoe ( I bought a new daily driver and decided a few months ago not to sell the Tahoe)
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
2021 hasn't ended yet.
Almost a year later I have to ask how you feeling about that threat now
It's a quote from Fallout New Vegas lol
@@redneckwithajeep5001 "threat"
You dumb
I truly want to find a group of people to share experiences like this. I want to live life like this!!!
Saweeet video ! Awesome footage ! i have a 99 wj with 204777 on a 4.0 liter that finally kicked the bucket ! the ole lady wants me to ditch it but hell i was never one to listen ! It chilly here in Maine so i have the old girl parked outside till i either find another 4.0 on tear it apart and find out were the knocks coming from
Great video, would you think about doing a walk around of Josh’s JL
yes, of course!
TrailRecon thank you
Great name!! And great idea. Just Stay tuned to Trailrecon , you never know when it might pop up.
I really wish I could be a part of this group!
I love this channel I just found it today, I've got my rigg ready now I'm making the first trip plan, found this channel looking for info and wow I'm amazed by the wealth of knowledge I have found a few things I didn't know I needed great work my friend
I guess I will pass on the Jeep , stick to my GMC , thank you very much ! 😂🤣😂
Great video and fantastic destination. Only thought was - why so much stuff? We go motorcycle camping for a week with 1/8th of the stuff.
Alan Percy
The more the merrier I guess. I would take a trailer full of stuff if I went on that run.
Well worth the watch. Nice work!
THANK YOU so much for posting the coordinates! I beg other channels to do this but so far of all the channels I subscribe to, you are the only one doing it. Again, thank you.
none of that trail looked bad, looked like a subaru could drive that entire thing.
tank2449 i was thinking the same thing but, better to be over prepared
@@greygoose4x46 i mean my stock 84 s10 2.6 v6 4x4 4 spd manual with my all season tires could do that easily
Don't worry my Subaru will give a jeep or fj a run for its money, me and my grandad used to drive a 2 wheel drive chevy k10 around this area. The overland movement is cool but most places these folks go you don't need a jacked up jeep, just a case and some friends to get you through when a push is needed. Love, just another preoverlander
@@thehighcountrymedicalclini794 a case of beer? damn right brother. my stock 1984 s10 with a 2.8 v6 and 4x4 with lockers front and rear could do this easily. and i only have 31's on it with some trimming of the fender. its more about the driver than the vehicle. ive gone places that big lifted up trucks and jeeps couldnt make it. its all about hammering down when you need to and when to ease your way through something also. 2.8 v6 isnt putting out much power haha
@@tank2449 damn straight a case of beer. Ya it is more so about the driver, and horsepower really isn't needed I mean you do need it but not like some guys push for. Ive watched a supercharged bronco mash up a hill with 35's lifted the werks and it looked cool throwing dirt and rocks huge bumpers ect... then I watched an international scout quietly and slowly putter over the same ruts haha, with its stock size tires. Got to remember some of this stuff is a lot like the guy knocking on your door I the 50's trying to sell you a mirco wave, when all you need is 5 more minutes on the old gas burner. Take care, from flagstaff, az
You traveled 117.5 miles to donate a ROCK ?
Fantastic photography. Makes all the serious work and planning (and expense) worth it! Noticed you finally broke out a drone...😋 Great shots.
I'm sure this adventure was a whole lot of p!anning and preping, but it was a nice adventure 'from an armchair '! Thanks for the ride, my dog would have loved all the openess...
Thanks! Kudos!😎
And an 'Extras' video would be great, too = deep dive into showing utensils, fridge options, cooking utensils, cooking plate options, etc...
Would a stock Jeep XJ be able to do this trail?
In good condition with a solid set of tires, yes!
It sure will. Some sandy areas. Not that bad at all. I like the pace. Slow down and enjoy scenery. Done enough of the ON THE GAS all the time
Thanks guys!
@@justinhelfer2022 Don't buy a Jeep, worst idea for off roads.
I had a '95 xj on 30s. A buddy had an '03 tj on '31s. While he was getting stuck, I was walking all over everything. I have a YJ now but I'm looking for another xj to build for this type of stuff. In other words, I guarantee it'll do fine. Just get a good set of all terrains (bfg ko2s or the like) instead of these SUV tires alot of people get, and you'll be alright
how much gas
I used a little over 3/4 of a tank. I brought and extra 3 gallons and added it... it's a good idea just in case.
+TrailRecon nice jeeps
My son's and I went to Las Vegas for the week between Christmas and New Years day, 2011 - 2016. Mojave on Christmas Day. Oh My, on the East northern side, in the rocks and washes, during a 1" storm was one of the very special Wrangler drives in my lifetime. Christmas Day 2016.
Nice to see the mix of rigs on this adventure. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing your Overland West videos. Safe Travels and God Bless!
The Wrangler's are garbage for off road for reliability, it's either older Nissan Patrol or Toyota Land cruiser are used for 4wd in Australia.
good on ya mate. we don't have the same opportunities as the land down under.
And here you are on a Jeep channel.
Excellent vid, beautiful scenery.
Great job on the video! I always look forward to seeing your adventures, thanks for taking us along!
Love all of the shots of the rigs driving by
Thank you! There was some great scenery out there.
wow! these are my favorite videos ever. Ive been a jeep lover for as long as I can remember and seeing what all you can do and set up with the jeep, like the tents, amazes me!
Another great video! GPS info is great. Thanks again!
This was awesome! I'm up at 1:30 in the morning watching this and living every minute of it! Thank you!
Way past my bed time! Glad you are enjoying it, thank you!
Does Marco have some sort of Trail Cookbook or something out there?! Every time I watch one of your videos, it's always exciting not just to see what scenery you've surrounded yourself with, but what delicious meals he's got planned for the crew!
Congrats on making it all the way! Mojave Road is on our bucket list of trials.
