Brad, I know that it doesn't seem like much to most folks, but I wholeheartedly and sincerely appreciate it when you address the finer points of responsible trail riding such as closing gates behind you, leaving no trace, and other trail ethics tips. As a park ranger, I truly appreciate your diligence and attention to these considerations. Fantastic content, as always. Well done, sir! 👍🏼
This trail looks so beautiful and chill. More than just a boring fire road but nothing hard at all. You don’t need to focus on the trail and damaging anything or getting stuck every second, you can just take it slow and take the scenery in and enjoy the trail and everything surrounding it.
That is so cool that you are doing this with your wife!! Making memories you will NEVER forget! I can only imagine the time and effort it takes to film something like this, even using a drone at times?!? Also, really enjoyed watching Regina preparing the lunch, always looking for simple ideas for my wife and I to enjoy on the trail. We spend the Summers in South Fork Co. and take the Rubicon over all trails towards Lake City. Thanks for your work making this such an enjoyable channel.
We just hiked that section of the PCT yesterday and watched the video today in a BnB in Julian. We recognized the spots you stopped and camped where there was the lonely hiker in the background. Thanks for this different perspective of this beautiful area. Anza Borrego SP is a place I want to come back to explore in a vehicle as well.
Loving Regina (hope I spelled that right) being with you and being comfortable with the process. These are great, slow down the pace and enjoy the simple things, videos. 👍👍
This looked like so much fun, and Regena looked like she had a blast as you were filming. Thank you for adding the co-ordinates. Very helpful for when I come down there this year.
I subscribed for the diesel content and stayed because I legitimately love Brad’s demeanor and lifestyle, and he has such a wonderful attitude about life and enjoying his passions. Also, I did buy the diesel and programmed it, and I wouldn’t sell it for anything 😊. Thanks so much for all the information!
Great trail video. Makes me want to go back to Oriflamme again soon. Just on the other side of the small creek at that large campsite you can find several morteros ground into the large boulders, and a short walk further east will take you to the stone foundations of several buildings where the CCC was located while they built the Mason Valley Truck Trail that goes up to Cuyamaca (there is a locked gate where the trail meets Hwy 79). Tons of history in that area. And the Rodriguez obstacles are no joke but a lot of fun with the right rig.
When I was in the army at fort Bliss we would go train in new Mexico. And it just so happened that their state plant was the yucca plant. Well we plowed over so many of those things going in to lay our howitzers countless times haha
absolutely love those wheels on that truck, I have the same ones on my suburban with KO2's so now I'll do the KM3's with my Silverado and those wheels when my ZR2 Arrives
Thanks! I film in the garage from time to time, but it make the process pretty slow installing stuff, but I do try to do updates on the upgrades from time to time.
You can actually eat the Yucca flower and if you cut it down and dig out the center underground it tastes like heart of palm. My family makes flour from the heart of the yucca for cakes. You can also boil the roots and use it as soap/shampoo. I’m from Campo Indian reservation off Interstate 8.
Beautiful video and nice to see you and Regina enjoying together that great trail and what can I say about that awesome Jeep 392...really impressive. Thanks Brad for another excellent video.
Hey brotha! I’ve been watching your videos as of March of 2021 when I started my chemotherapy journey. I watched sooo many of your videos that I fell in love with the jeeps you had and I wanted one for myself. Even tho I didn’t have one at that time of my chemo journey I still wrote down the mods I’ve always wanted to get lol. I beat cancer nov 5th of last year and the first week of December my wife surprised me with a 2015 JK Sahara. Oh boy the things I did to it within a few months definitely emptied my pockets lol. Till now I still continue to watch your videos and it really helped me in the process of my chemotherapy, because while I felt like crap, you made me dream about owning a Jeep of my own, and enjoying the Beauty of life with friends hitting the trails. There’s still plenty of stuff I need to do before that as I’m still recovering , but thank you for making the videos you do as they truly helped me a lot! I’ll be a fan for life! Much love from So Cal!
Brad, Totally taking the wife on this trail🙌🏾. The Picture This App totally keeps our daughters engaged when we hit the trails. Thanks for sharing and your channel has enriched our lives since your first videos.
It was nice to finally meet you on the trail Saturday. We (group of five vehicles) were finishing our day going in the opposite direction as you were beginning your decent. Great job on your rating system and as a follower on your channel I would agree with your assessment of 10 out of 15. I do prefer going up Oriflamme Canyon Trail to add a bit more challenge. Thanks for the cool video.
When you went over the goose gear items , I thought I hope he didn’t forget the items for Regina to cook with. Great job Sir. Love the channel, keep them coming.
So just a little history of how I ran into your awesome channel. I looked up how to make a good off road video on TH-cam and your channel popped up. After watching that episode of you showing your recipe of how you make your video’s, I then watched your latest video which is this one and “wow”…. I can clearly see how you put the magic to work! Awesome job and I just subscribe! Hope to be at your level one day.
I'm so jealous of you guys out west and the trails y'all have. Over here in the east, we got gates, gates, and oh would you look at that? More gates lol
Your vids are always so fun to watch. Thanks for this new rating system you've come up with. With new Jeeps popping up in our family, this system will help us choose trails to fit the entire family's desires and skills.
My rule of thumb about gates is, if there is a gate, best not to go through it. Period. Many decades ago, I wound up on the wrong side of a gate and was forced to find and alternate path back to the main highway. A locked gate that says do not enter and violators will be fined(when you are on the other side already)is bad news. Even if it is where you were at, there is a possibility that someone will put their own padlock on that chain and you are screwed. lol (short of taking matters into your own hands)
Great video. My wife and I recently started our own channel, 50+ years around the sun. We just bought our 3rd jeep, wrangler unlimited Sahara 2017. We are looking forward to new adventures that our jeep will provide. Keep up the great work👍
Awesome video & really like your new trail rating system. I recently purchased a 2001 Dodge 2500 4X4 with 360 gas engine & hope to set it up for your style of trails. Thank you for sharing another great trail ride.
I love how you put the coordinates on screen. That is very considerate for followers to go where Trail Recon goes. 👍🏼 The 392 sounds great. New Magnaflow? Very interesting to see your rating scores.
I remember passing you on this trail when your silver ruby was still stock. I was with a group of JKs (I was in my black CJ7) you were going up the trial as were were descending down the trail. There was also some sort of cross country running race going that day too. Just looking at my Gaia logs, I think it was on 4/23/16. We did The bolder field off of Rodriguez trail (right side face north/west
Have you had any issues going to 37s? Aside from the rubbing do you think you will need to re gear? Canadian veteran here I'd love to send you some patches
Michelle and I have had a 2018 Rubicon for a couple of years, so our Jeep-to-Brains ratio is still very high at this point. First, I just want to thank you and Regina for teaching us so much. Your work has been extremely helpful and encouraging. Two things I'd love to see you do. #1, when you click your lockers or disengage the sway bar, it would be illuminating if you would say so. Seeing what kind of terrain triggers that reaction in you would help us to know when to do it ourselves. #2, seeing the hairy shelf roads in this Oriflame Canyon video, I'd love some advice about what to do if you meet someone coming the other way. Backing up for half a mile is the answer, I guess, but it seems pretty scary. Any tips or thoughts? I know shelf roads aren't your favorite thing, either.
Hi Brad can you give us a short video of just how the 392 is different than other JLU's? I havent driven other wranglers but my 392 rides soooo nice. My First Edition doesnt even compare. Love the video and I love how much you both love your 392. My wife loves the sound ours makes LOL. We are all so fortunate to have such freedom. P.S. we like Regina more than you now. LOL.
Nice trail to break in the new ride. Is that a CV AXEL ON THE FRONT DIFF ? Did or do the new jeeps come that way from the factory ? It would be nice to see an episode explaining that and the obvious reason why its better . Will it be stronger than the stock axel shaft , comparable to a RCV joint or weaker ? CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.
Beautiful trail and Jeep. I had plans to make it further west from Ky 3 yrs ago into Nevada and Cal but due to an aged and ailing mother (92) we didnt make it. Then Covid plus mom still. But I still have hopes of doing the trip this fall. Until then I watch video’s of yours and others. We love Ouray/Telluride area and Moab as well...
Thank you for your videos. Do you notice the fan running a lot on your 392? Heat not a problem with the engine so far? Any problems besides needing bum stops?
Oriflamme/Rodriguez Canyon were the first trails I ever ran in my jeep back in 2010. I don't live in San Diego now, but some day I want to go back run the trail again.
Do you plan on doing anything to the 392 to accommodate for the 37’s besides a lift? Or are you fine with the axles and gearing that comes with the Xtreme Recon package?
Hey Brad & Regena, Rik & Sue here, question... when you were on the trail 1. Did you air down at all, how much? 2. We're you mostly in 2 wheel or 4 high. 3. Did you do 4 low (maybe on that desending part?) Or? Thanks hope to see you soon, nice video editing.
Been meaning to post this.....Why did you change up from the BFG KO2's you usually run to the MT's? I would have thought the KO2's would have been a better choice for all the highway driving on the trips you have planned? The video? Up to your usual high standards of production, thanks!
Hi TrailRecon Love your Videos. QUICK QUESTION What type Clutch assembly do you recommend for a 08JK Daily driver on 37's thank you hope to hear from you. love that 392
Hi Brad, Congrats on the 392, you look thrilled to have one! As the gearing is 4.56 vs the 3.73 in the regular 392, I'm curious. What fuel mileage are you getting in the XR package compared to a regular 392?
I'm super jealous you got a 392! I love them. Great video. 👍👍
Brad, I know that it doesn't seem like much to most folks, but I wholeheartedly and sincerely appreciate it when you address the finer points of responsible trail riding such as closing gates behind you, leaving no trace, and other trail ethics tips. As a park ranger, I truly appreciate your diligence and attention to these considerations. Fantastic content, as always. Well done, sir! 👍🏼
I enjoy these videos when you both are together. She seems like a great pilot and co-pilot. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I couldn't ask for a better co-pilot, although for as much as she was behind the wheel this trip, I think I was the co-pilot!
Don't forget to top off your blinker fluid before going out. Thanks for all the great videos!
This is my type of video, My wife and I love you guys. Keep up the amazing adventures!
Right on, thank you so much!
Watching Trailrecon on my lunch break.....lovely
That 392 sounds beasty!!!!
Greetings from New Zealand 🤙🏽
Safe Travels team
Hope lunch was tasty!
I like this new style of videos. Great work and I like the scoring factor of the trails as well. Thank you
Thank you and so great to hear!
@@TrailRecon Thank you for not charging us a Patreon fee to see the coordinates of the trails - Much appreciated!
Man that 392 looks amazing
Thanks, I'm still super happy with it!
Love your channel, and love seeing you and wife together on the trails. ✌❤🙏
This trail looks so beautiful and chill. More than just a boring fire road but nothing hard at all. You don’t need to focus on the trail and damaging anything or getting stuck every second, you can just take it slow and take the scenery in and enjoy the trail and everything surrounding it.
Very true!
Watched your test clip with you and Marco. Then he bought one. The King Jeep!
That is so cool that you are doing this with your wife!! Making memories you will NEVER forget! I can only imagine the time and effort it takes to film something like this, even using a drone at times?!? Also, really enjoyed watching Regina preparing the lunch, always looking for simple ideas for my wife and I to enjoy on the trail. We spend the Summers in South Fork Co. and take the Rubicon over all trails towards Lake City. Thanks for your work making this such an enjoyable channel.
So beautiful and open! Thanks for sharing this and all the gorgeous places you go! 🥾🥾😎
Thanks for watching!
That would be a good track to do on horseback to relive the life of those amazing cowboys of the past. Or 4wd. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you remembered the gas tank this time.🤣 what a beautiful jeep you have
Exciting to see y'all cross by the PCT. I thru hiked back in 2014, and any time I see familiar areas like that, all the memories come flooding back!
We just hiked that section of the PCT yesterday and watched the video today in a BnB in Julian. We recognized the spots you stopped and camped where there was the lonely hiker in the background. Thanks for this different perspective of this beautiful area. Anza Borrego SP is a place I want to come back to explore in a vehicle as well.
Brad as always I love seeing you and Regina out and about. Love the 392 along with the trail rating system. Well done M8.
Thanks for answering my question about which comms you use on the trail. Much appreciated
Loving Regina (hope I spelled that right) being with you and being comfortable with the process. These are great, slow down the pace and enjoy the simple things, videos. 👍👍
Another great Sunday with you two; enjoyed tremendously 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Loved the added how to make the meal part! Nice addition
This looked like so much fun, and Regena looked like she had a blast as you were filming. Thank you for adding the co-ordinates. Very helpful for when I come down there this year.
I subscribed for the diesel content and stayed because I legitimately love Brad’s demeanor and lifestyle, and he has such a wonderful attitude about life and enjoying his passions.
Also, I did buy the diesel and programmed it, and I wouldn’t sell it for anything 😊. Thanks so much for all the information!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharin'.... red 392 is great, enjoy.
Enjoyed the video and the TrailRecon rating system. Thanks for your time making the videos
Man, I am loving this new 392 Jeep JKU build. So good to see you and Regina out on the trails. Great video, Brad.
Great trail video. Makes me want to go back to Oriflamme again soon. Just on the other side of the small creek at that large campsite you can find several morteros ground into the large boulders, and a short walk further east will take you to the stone foundations of several buildings where the CCC was located while they built the Mason Valley Truck Trail that goes up to Cuyamaca (there is a locked gate where the trail meets Hwy 79). Tons of history in that area. And the Rodriguez obstacles are no joke but a lot of fun with the right rig.
Great content as always.Thanks for sharing.The 392 is quite a beast
Been doing this trail for years. Love it. Taking a buddy and his kids out there this weekend.
Love your videos. Keep up the great work. You encouraged me to get a jeep rubicon, so I ordered me a 2022 a rubicon, I can't wait to hit the trails.
When I was in the army at fort Bliss we would go train in new Mexico. And it just so happened that their state plant was the yucca plant. Well we plowed over so many of those things going in to lay our howitzers countless times haha
absolutely love those wheels on that truck, I have the same ones on my suburban with KO2's so now I'll do the KM3's with my Silverado and those wheels when my ZR2 Arrives
Oh man, being in San Diego I've wanted to do this one forever! Looking forward to it even more now.
That's an awesome video. I like it. And the trail is so beautiful. Wish I could be there with my jku. Greetings from Southern Germany.
Beautiful scenery, awesome video as always Brad and Regena!
Thank you!
Beautiful co-pilot what a trooper wish my wife was as adventuresome
Love your channel! I very rarely...if at all comment much. But would love to see videos of the mods/upgrades you do to your rigs.
Thanks! I film in the garage from time to time, but it make the process pretty slow installing stuff, but I do try to do updates on the upgrades from time to time.

Man the quality of the production of this video is amazing… looks like something straight outta cable television.
Thank you so much!
great video really enjoyed it

Brad,
Totally taking the wife on this trail🙌🏾. The Picture This App totally keeps our daughters engaged when we hit the trails. Thanks for sharing and your channel has enriched our lives since your first videos.
Good thing you topped off the blinker fluid before this adventure. 😉🤣🤣
You got that right!

The trail score is a great new addition! Thanks-
Fantastic area, great video work as usual. Cheers
Really enjoyed the video Brad and Regena! Definitely looked like you had a great day!
I enjoy the trail score at the end! Love the 392 especially in red. Hope they are still around when I can buy one.
So just a little history of how I ran into your awesome channel. I looked up how to make a good off road video on TH-cam and your channel popped up.

Another great video Brad. Love the 392. Can’t wait to see the next adventure you make. Keep them rolling.
Watching your videos guys,made me relax..because of the view..❤️❤️
Brad are those the KC Highlites with amber covers on your front bumper?
They are, Flex Era4's
So great to hear!
I'm so jealous of you guys out west and the trails y'all have. Over here in the east, we got gates, gates, and oh would you look at that? More gates lol

Your videos are so awesome ! Spent a week in Moab last month, now I want to go further south and west !
Another great video, looking forward to the next one
5 out of 5 for bringing all the lunch stuff. great video
Nice video , beautiful landscape !
Nice job remembering the propane!
Awesome video & really like your new trail rating system. I recently purchased a 2001 Dodge 2500 4X4 with 360 gas engine & hope to set it up for your style of trails. Thank you for sharing another great trail ride.
Love the view of the mountain..WOW!
I like the new grading system! It will be useful to compare with other trails in the future 👏👏

It is!
Hey, Brad. You should get a drone. Would make your life easier and we would get great shots. Thank you for taking us with you. Great work, as always.
fun video, great area to drive around in over there!
Brad quick recovery on your wife's driving
Have you had any issues going to 37s? Aside from the rubbing do you think you will need to re gear? Canadian veteran here I'd love to send you some patches
The extreme recon package comes with 4.56 gears, so we'll see if I need to regear down the road. Thanks for your service!
We just picked our 4 d Rubicon can’t wait to go 4x4 wheeling thank you
Congrats!
Great trip!! Love teh scenery and the rating system. Until next time... Travel Safe.
Thanks! 👍
"Right answer," I love it! I've been happily married for 39 years. I know I'm happily married because my wife told me I am! 😁

Enjoyed it :o) Great little trip.
Glad you enjoyed joining us!
Love the new Jeep, Brad!
cant wait for the walk around video of this 392. and an explanation of how you're dealing with paying for premium fuel right now lol
Hi Brad can you give us a short video of just how the 392 is different than other JLU's? I havent driven other wranglers but my 392 rides soooo nice. My First Edition doesnt even compare. Love the video and I love how much you both love your 392. My wife loves the sound ours makes LOL. We are all so fortunate to have such freedom. P.S. we like Regina more than you now. LOL.
Nice video Brad and Regina good showmanship.
Thanks 👍
Nice trail to break in the new ride. Is that a CV AXEL ON THE FRONT DIFF ? Did or do the new jeeps come that way from the factory ? It would be nice to see an episode explaining that and the obvious reason why its better . Will it be stronger than the stock axel shaft , comparable to a RCV joint or weaker ? CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.
Love the new rig!
Beautiful trail and Jeep. I had plans to make it further west from Ky 3 yrs ago into Nevada and Cal but due to an aged and ailing mother (92) we didnt make it. Then Covid plus mom still. But I still have hopes of doing the trip this fall. Until then I watch video’s of yours and others. We love Ouray/Telluride area and Moab as well...
I hope you are able to make the trip soon, so much to see and explore out here!
The 392 looks so good in red. Will you need to regear it with the 37s? Cheers from Canada
The extreme recon package comes with 4.56 gears, so we'll see if I need to regear down the road.
does anyone know ??? they say that soon will be available first time the diesel wrangler in xtreme recon trim. does anyone know ??/
Thank you for your videos. Do you notice the fan running a lot on your 392? Heat not a problem with the engine so far? Any problems besides needing bum stops?
Love the videos. Curious what PSI you air down to on this/similar trails? Also, is this trail doable in a full size truck?
Brad! Awesome man! Quick question! What type of winch mount did you go with on the 392?
Oriflamme/Rodriguez Canyon were the first trails I ever ran in my jeep back in 2010. I don't live in San Diego now, but some day I want to go back run the trail again.
Do you plan on doing anything to the 392 to accommodate for the 37’s besides a lift? Or are you fine with the axles and gearing that comes with the Xtreme Recon package?
Hey Brad & Regena, Rik & Sue here, question... when you were on the trail 1. Did you air down at all, how much? 2. We're you mostly in 2 wheel or 4 high. 3. Did you do 4 low (maybe on that desending part?) Or? Thanks hope to see you soon, nice video editing.
Been meaning to post this.....Why did you change up from the BFG KO2's you usually run to the MT's? I would have thought the KO2's would have been a better choice for all the highway driving on the trips you have planned? The video? Up to your usual high standards of production, thanks!
I enjoy watching these videos keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Stay safe out there and thank you for you and your family for your service
Hi TrailRecon Love your Videos. QUICK QUESTION What type Clutch assembly do you recommend for a 08JK Daily driver on 37's thank you hope to hear from you.
love that 392
Hi Brad, Congrats on the 392, you look thrilled to have one!
As the gearing is 4.56 vs the 3.73 in the regular 392, I'm curious. What fuel mileage are you getting in the XR package compared to a regular 392?
Great show
