Just a matter of working hard and spend wisely. My wife and I work hard for everything we have. All the while saving money. We stopped going to the bars and slowed down drinking, and that saved us $10,000 a year
Nice cover of all the vehicles. Over the years I've paired down to a set way of doing things. My newest rig is a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Sport .. Lifted, all terrains ,and skid plate. I am always amazed at how much stuff people carry with them. Tents are a thing of the past for me at 76 years old .. I sleep in the car .. no more tents for me. I never carry a cooler because when empty they are still there taking up space. I've figured out meals that don't require a cooler or fridge. Did Tooroweap a few years ago with my other rig .. a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport 2Dr. The North Rim is amazing!
I grew up in my early driving days. 1976. As a surfer. Bought my first 4X4 truck in 1979. A Chevy Luv. Big Sur..... worked weekly in Monterey, CA. Every Friday night, I bought supplies after work and headed south, Had a campershell and a bed inside it,,,,,,
I honestly don't know if I'm offended or just going through Monday blues but I have 40k into my JLU and no where near some of these set up's. Guess I don't fall into average yet. I have watched and enjoyed alot of your stuff but it's starting to just get unachievable and about who has what and what everyone needs. Was really looking forward to the cross country trips you had planned. Back to the basics please, enjoying the outdoors and sharing adventures.
Don't get caught up in the "I have to have this" trap. I use a 2001 XJ for my adventures. It will go anywhere and holds my wife and I and our gear. That's all you need! You're miles ahead of me with a JLU, go out and enjoy it!
You only need the gear that makes you comfortable. I started with an XJ and a tent. My son and I had a lot of great times with that set up. Now I have a more spendy set up. Your rig and gear is about you, not everyone else.
I had such a great time meeting great people from all walks of life! Thank you E3 and TrailRecon for a fun weekend. I would recommend going out with a fun group like this if you get a chance.
Love seeing how people use different items to complete their OL rigs. The orange Jeep (8:32) had a remote-controlled car gear bag in the back. I have an old one and am now thinking about adding it to my gear, maybe something to hold clothes.
This is one of most favorite videos that you posted. I just did a cross country trip to help move a friend who grew up in New York moved to San Diego about 15 years ago, just recently moved back to New York. I loved traveling cross country. I would love to do a camp out in that Arizona area w/ a Jeep Wrangler (which are my favorite vehicle). That is on my bucket list 5 years from now. Awesome video.
As always Awesome!!!!! Love your adventures. Makes me feel like I'm there.. great video to see while recovering from knee surgery.. THANKS!!! Keep on Wheeling!!!!!
Awesome video. I love the different perspective. Every day vehicles. This would make a great series since most of us don't have the budgets to go all out? Anyhow, thanks!
Thanks Brad for another incredible trip! Susie and I had an EVEN better experience than last year, which I thought would be hard to beat, but you and E3_Association did it AGAIN!
As an east coast guy who hikes the Grand Canyon, I have a suggestion. Some of you overland guys need to turo or alike your overland keeps so I can trail ride out there and camp. I rented a plain jane gladiator in January 23 and it was fun but no camping.
There are a lot of great rigs in this video; I really enjoyed it. I especially liked seeing the full size rigs since they tend to be underrepresented in popular overland content.
I like seeing all these builds. When I go overland/camping, it's to get away from people. Don't think I could handle having this many people around me with their pets and everything.
I enjoy being off the grid and some solitude as well, but sometimes it is just as enjoyable to get out with some great likeminded folks, share stories and have some good commodore.
I have really enjoyed watching ur videos. It's interesting and exciting while learning new things set in some truly beautiful places. Great job looking forward to ur next adventure. God bless b safe.
thanks for the tour. loved the video!!! I really liked the red Dodge Ram rebel set up as that is what I have. I especially liked the folding tonneau cover/roof rack combo which is what I'd like for mine!!!
Great video as always. Videos like these really give those of us that build our own things ideas. I do have to rib you a little about the 295/70r14 tires at 21:12 though. :)
Where was the campsite? Headed back out there this coming summer with the kids! Their first overlanding trip. We went back in 20 but Covid had most everything closed.
Looking to make a trip to this place this year, what time of the year did you go there? Would you provide some directions on how to get there? Thank you sir
Brad, what happened to the trail map on E3 overland? Did it move? Planning my trip to flagstaff this weekend and unfortunately cannot find the map with the trails! Thanks brotha love the videos!
Another fantastic video, thank you! I am wondering though, do you have any secondary power or other options to power the fridge and protect the starting battery?
Yeah. Most do. Togo or Jackery type power supplies. With a solar panel to recharge the system. Their are a plenty of different power supply units out there.
ive been overlanding out of my nissan frontier (its white too) for years. So happy to see them being used how I use mine, finally sticking it to the tacoma bros lol.
Great video! I really enjoy the one take videos. Can anyone tell me about that drawer system in the one Jeep in the beginning. It looked like corrugated plastic maybe...
Not sure if you’re talking about mine. The orange (mango orange) Jeep with the red frig. If so, the drawers are actually a rolling storage unit for RC car racing. Had it sitting around and started using it cuz it was real light. Definitely no that cheap to buy new but you can find them used from guys that gave up on racing. It actually works great for this and is light and removable. Kinda ghetto I guess but I’m making it work.
It’s just a Smitybilt defender rack that I added a couple L iron bars up to the Rugged Ridge light bar. I haven’t finished adding a few cross bars to complete the front rack part so it looks kinda odd. (But helped hide the wires for rear lights)
Love your walk arounds, just nice to see what average Joes have used in their setups, don’t get me wrong , nice to see the tripped out sponsor / manufacturers builds too, but not everyone has unlimited budgets ( I certainly don’t). Great video as always
I like the “one-take” style videos. Makes you even more human than just a TH-camr. You’re one of the most “human” TH-camrs on here as it is and the one-take adds to the normality that you exude.
I love that you show off everyone’s set up . It’s nice to see all the different ideas and how each group make it work . We are in the process of deciding on a trailer or slide in truck camper . Might be going with a trailer now lol
Really liked this one Brad. Thanks very much. Really good to see simpler, practical, realistic rigs for the every day person who doesn’t have the extreme builds. Great ideas here that work really well. Fantastic.
Several of you asked in the comments about the wood chairs (they're bamboo) at the 16 minute marker. They are Snow Peak brand. Perfect angle to lounge/stargaze/nap on. 👌 Some REI stores carry them. They also come in a different style (lower back) and has a strap for easier transport around camp. Fabric is easily removable to launder.
Love this. It's easy to watch youtube and get a distorted view of what's normal. I love the decked out builds from people that do this for a living, but the normal builds that I can afford are the most inspiring. Glad to see a couple Nissans out there with ya'll.
Great job on the walk-around, Brad! I also want to say that I really appreciate the full view of what you're showing us without your face in the shot. So many TH-camrs' have this habit that their face needs to be in the camera - but it really distracts what they're attempting to show the audience (I think anyway) so thanks for the huge display of various builds! Only limit is imagination!
Love looking at all the solutions people come up with. I have yet to see one like mine. I have a short box 4x4 GMC and I use a home made deck system in the back and use a Kodiak tent to sleep on top of the deck system. A queen size air mattress and we hav plenty of room for all our gear. You should check out Kodiak truck tents made in the USA. They make one that would fit your power wagon for the times when you want to have a lighter setup.
Man these everyday folks got about 100k worth of equipment lol!!
Just everyday people not like me I guess
Lol...
Exactly, rich everyday folks. Unattainable for actual everyday folks. For most people buying a 50k$ vehicle is totally out of the question.
Just a matter of working hard and spend wisely. My wife and I work hard for everything we have. All the while saving money. We stopped going to the bars and slowed down drinking, and that saved us $10,000 a year
@@maximelauzon5129 you don’t need much to enjoy the outdoors sometimes less is best.

Is this near the Bar10 ranch
We stayed at the Bar 10
Always love these videos with different kinds of set ups. Lots of ideas!
Such an amazing trip! Thank you for hosting again!! These videos show the infinite possibilities when it comes to preparing your rig for a trip!

First
Hey E3 Overland members’ builds. Hopefully I’ll be able to attend next year. I just got my 4Runner and I am starting to mod it.
Hope you can make it next year, we had a blast this year, plus more events around the country coming soon!
As always Awesome!!!!! Love your adventures. Makes me feel like I'm there.. great video to see while recovering from knee surgery.. THANKS!!!
Keep on Wheeling!!!!!
Would love to join next year. I just took delivery of my bronco Badlands with the Sasquatch package and I’m getting it built out for overlanding
Congrats on the new Bronco!
@@TrailRecon thank Brad!

"Normal guys" starts with a 30k trailer and a 70k jeep lol
I liked the guy with the Walker Evan bead locks on his trailer. Just a normal guy roughing it.
Well yes, it's kind of an expensive hobby/pastime to get into 😊
Normal? Lol
Swears normal people spend 100k on overland Jeep’s and gear
Normal people pay bills invest and save money
I wish I had 100k to play with although you don’t need much to enjoy the outdoors. Having all that gear means a shit tonne of cleaning and maintenance
@@woxie4990 no its not actually lol only if u try to have alot of toys and gadgets that u dont really need.....
There are a lot of great rigs in this video; I really enjoyed it. I especially liked seeing the full size rigs since they tend to be underrepresented in popular overland content.
I love the unedited version. Some great ideas hope to see you soon.
The camping setup on the orange JK is how to do it! Love it. Just a couple steps away from my build being that, but just for 2

@@TrailRecon Thanks for sharing this video.
I love ❤ this channel, inspiration for go overland. Nice video and greeting healthy from 🇮🇩 Indonesia
Thank you!
LOVE that Achillia build. I noticed they also changed the Gladiator name to Gladiatrix (the feminine form) 🥰
You're really good at this! New sub, thanks for the adventure!
Great video! Loved seeing all the rigs especially all the sleep in trailers!
My overlander is a 1979 Chevy K10 with a 1982 FWC Keystone. Original outlay of $600. Of course, there have been upgrades over the last 12 years.
My favourite videos are looking at other peoples set ups 👍👍👍cheers Brad
Beautiful!! Scenery and rigs!
I wish I was this average 😪
I have really enjoyed watching ur videos. It's interesting and exciting while learning new things set in some truly beautiful places. Great job looking forward to ur next adventure. God bless b safe.
Looks like a awesome time a lot of great setups, gorgeous views good stuff brad everyone enjoy an as always be safe 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing this video, interesting tour of campers.

Ohhhhh. Can’t wait to get off work and watch this…
Thanks Brad for your video. It's awesome. Tell Regina the pancakes looks delicious.
Sir. I really like your video 🔥🔥🔥and I always watch your video love it🧡🧡🧡
Love the average Joe setups in the mix. Man, I'd love to see more 2 doors.
I like how the "average joes" basically all drive a Rubicon, lol. I just ordered a custom built Rubicon today though, so no complaints.
Great video! Did anyone else see the cat in the Gladiator Achillia?
Great video and love the different set upd
We were at the Grand Canyon in September love the views
Love it! Thanks Brad and family.
Who makes those folding butterfly chairs. I neeeeed me sum!
At 10:08 which brand is that camping kitchen table? I love it!! Awesome video too. Huge fan
Is that an old Sears tent !! ?
I have a similar one. Awesome !
Love your channel and the beautiful places you visit and the trails you do. I’m on the east coast but one day I’d love to do a trail ride out there.
Gracias por el vídeo. Sólo faltó mostrar más las RAM. La verdad eran los más interesantes y los que menos mostraste.
I was in Colorado not to long ago is awesome 😎 👏 😀
Awesome stuff 👍
One of my all time favorite videos from you Brad! Loved this, thanks!
I was in there with my nissan Murano, all the way from florida
Excuse me kind sir how would I be able to join this fine camping trip? Lol love it!
Your new lift seems to be lower than the Mopar one. I
Do like your new beadlocks but what about the small back spacing?
Are most/all of the Wranglers shown in this video powered by the 3.6 v6 engine?
Where was the campsite? Headed back out there this coming summer with the kids! Their first overlanding trip. We went back in 20 but Covid had most everything closed.
What are most folks using their solar panels to charge?
Brad, we need a suspension shop in the San Diego area who does lifts and mods. Can you make a recommendation? Many thanks!
What rack is mounted on the Diamondback cover on the Rebal?
I live in Mesa AZ. I have an 86 Bronco. I would love to join up with you guys next year.
How would i go about getting signed up to camp with you?
I would like to know at @ of the jeep in 2:35 mark. really cool setup
Looking to make a trip to this place this year, what time of the year did you go there? Would you provide some directions on how to get there? Thank you sir
Brad, what happened to the trail map on E3 overland? Did it move? Planning my trip to flagstaff this weekend and unfortunately cannot find the map with the trails! Thanks brotha love the videos!
I can’t find the tailgater table for sale- do you have a link?
Love that rebel bumper with the integrated lights and winch… any idea what brand that is?
Nice lookin 😊 But looks like a bunch of hi end glamping rigs😅😂
Would like to meet up and do some overlanding with ya

Do you know if that was an addictive dirt front bumper on the F250? I need to get something for mine.

@@David-Drums great trip! where is this place at?
No 4X4 ford 350 sport mobile pop top van pulling a trailer.
Brad, is this trip an example of an E3 Overland Member's only type event? Thank you for all that you do!
What trail is this ?
What sliders are on that orange rubicon?
Rock slider engineering sliders
Do you know the manufacturer of the roof rack used on the Orange Jeep Sport Unlimited?
It’s just a Smitybilt defender rack that I added a couple L iron bars up to the Rugged Ridge light bar. I haven’t finished adding a few cross bars to complete the front rack part so it looks kinda odd. (But helped hide the wires for rear lights)
Anyone able to say what the tan chairs are at the 16:00 mark?
Yes, they are from Snow Peak. Some REI stores have them available if you want to see them in person. They're great!
👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great stuff, I'm just glad the wind didn't come up like it does in the desert. I could see half of that stuff blowing right over the edge.
You are a true ambassador to overlanding. Thank you from Canada.

Wow great video I just subscribed to your channel just curious do you need 4 x 4 to get to where you’re at thanks again for the video!
Love the improv camp walk throughs. Could totally watch hours of these awesome set ups!
Everyday folks with $30k trailers
