    Love that paint color on "Sidious". Never like to see anyone take a fall, but this video just confirms how important it is to carry a first aid kit with you.

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I can't say it enough, a first aid kit is essential off road gear! I was thankful I didn't have to run all the way down the hill to get mine.

    Wow!! Great looking trail!! Looked like a lot of fun. After a trail like that most others look like just a dirt road!! Great video.

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was a great trail, but not one I would want to beat my Jeep up on every weekend. I still love a nice dirt road! Thanks!

    Can't believe how much JB has changed since I last ran it. I took my stock TJ Sport through after I bought it in 2004. Trail was tough, and the open diffs and 30" AT tires didn't make it any easier, but, it looks MUCH more difficult now. As always, great video, and can't wait for the next one.

    The John Bull trail is what gave me the jeep bug. I was camping in holcomb valley campground. A couple of jeepers and a toyota came to camp but I was occupying the spot next to the toyota. They asked if they could swap with me so that they could camp together. I of course said yes. That that day they took me jeeping hard core! it was fun!! I am currently building a 1988 Jeep XJ. i so far have stiffened the frames rails, Injected a remanufactured 4.7L ATK stroker engine, i removed and replaced the undercoat and bedlined the interior. Can't wait to get out there and Jeep! Thanks for this video and cant wait to see part 2

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Your XJ sounds like a great build! I'm looking forward to stiffening the frame rails and slapping some rock sliders on the boys XJ so they can take it out on some more challenging trails. Thanks!

    • @delphiace
      @delphiace 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I bought the middle frame stiffiners but I built my own front wheel well stiffiners. Invested in a plasma cutter. Thats an awesome tool to use BTW. I have 0 experience in what I am doing but its coming along. Before I started, I had never welded or fabricated anything in metal. However I like to build my own when I can. I want to put 4 link front and back with coilover suspension that hopefully I can get done by next spring or summer. $$$ as you know is the limiting factor. I would love to go over to your neck of the woods (san diego) and see your rig and you can see mine as well.

    That's crazy! Never thought that I would had done J. Bull and Holcomb creek trails before some of the SDJC members. I had an amazing time at those trails and I'm sure you guys did as well. Next time try out Horse thief flats and heartbreak ridge. Hope to join you guys for the Big Bear run in July.

    • @quintonr5271
      @quintonr5271 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We ran Heartbreak the day before John Bull (and last year for our big event). Trail Recon didn't get there until Saturday morning, so he missed out on that fun, along with a Friday night run of Gold Mountain. This July we are planning to run Heartbreak and Gold Mountain. There are too many Jeeps at our run to run John Bull and/or Holcolmb without seriously blocking the trail. Hope to see you in July. Q.

    @outlaw9232 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    WOW!!! I love this video! Amazing footage, steady camera, terrific camera angles.
    It made me feel like I was there with you.
    Those obstacles are a great challenge and has to give you a feeling of accomplishment after you get through them.
    I love the shot of your JK Brad at 6:35....Ya gotta love the Rock Krawler lift!!! You can trust it to hold up! I also love the "skid plate testing sounds" at the 14:40 mark.
    When you watch a video like this, and it makes you wish you were there.....that means success.
    This is one of the many reasons why I'm a huge fan of your videos!
    Thanks you Brother! Be safe.

    Great video, Brad! Awesome photography, too. Brings back great memories of working in the AZ desert with EOD doing rock climbing as it was part of the job. We made many engine burritos and cans of chili in our engine compartments. I was the "doc" and drove the dud truck (M37) that the techs put live ordnance in the bed lined with sand bags. Imagine that and me the medic. Go figure.

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Engine burritos are the best! I worked a few weeks with EOD in Fallujah back in 06 and that was some of the most stressful work I've ever done in my life, thank you for what you did!

    I know this is old. I did the John Bull trail many times in 2000-2003 in my 95 wrangler 4cyl, 2in body lift 33in tires only. (no lockers etc) It was easy enough that i would bring along my newborn to stroll away the time. The more recent videos show the same trail but the the rocks have grown 2 times. I just have great memories and some photos on the trail.

    At 6min 8 seconds you say that it will require using rear lockers. Why rear only opposed to front and rear? I'm new to Jeeping. I myself have a Rubicon as well but just don't understand yet when to use lockers and which lockers. Thank you...

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Lockers decrease your turning ability and while fronts come in very handy, we needed the freedom of our steering on the rocks. I use my fronts often, but didn't need them this entire weekend.

Great videos and production quality, us sitting at home appreciate it when we cant get out of the house.

      @schmonkeeshomky5386 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      TrailRecon all sports and saharas come stock with Dana 30s instead of 44s. I see a lot of jeeps out there with you that do not have the rubicon sticker. That made me question how many wheel on 30s. Online forums bash Dana 30s so hard that you'd believe the Dana 30 would just fall apart the second the jeep wheels left pavement. I'm curious how true this claim really is. Many of the weakest links in a Dana 30 also exist in the Dana 44. This is why I asked. It's a curious topic that many discuss. I wonder how much of the debate is real and how much is the rubicon crowd snubbing their nose at others.

    • @quintonr5271
      @quintonr5271 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The silver 4 door with no doors, the silver 2 door that broke the tire carrier, and the ZJ are running Dana 30s w/ lockers (although the 2 door may have upgraded his front). The rest are either Rubicons (some that have changed the name on the hood), or upgraded axles.

      the bad news is that Dana30 (or Dana 'turdy' as some call them) are the weak link in the jeeps. the good news is there's so much aftermarket support for these axles because they're so plentiful. chromoly shafts, heavy duty gears, trusses, knuckle reinforements, upgraded steering linkages, inner tube sleeves. its a lot of work that most people would just say "why not just upgrade to a 44", but it's all about choice and wheeling how you want, and for xj, zj, yj owners, upgrading isn't as easy. as my dad always said, "there's a butt for every seat"

    Fun fact WWII soldiers used the old Willys engine block to cook eggs all the time! just like todays engine burritos.

    What cellphone mount you have?

    • @RobDTom
      @RobDTom 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's the 67Design mount. i have the same one, except I have the magnet mount version. I need to get the same universal mount that he has for using my phone off road.

    • @TeamBoogie
      @TeamBoogie 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      So stay away from magnet mounts for off road then?

    • @RobDTom
      @RobDTom 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Unfortunately, yes. The magnet just isn't strong enough to keep the phone from flying off the base during off roading. I love my MagMount for use during the week though.

      I had a RAM mount previously and it shook too much, love the new 67 designs mount!

    I love those high sierra trails but hate that "moon dust" all along the trail. It gets in everything.
    It takes days to get it out of your ears, eyes, nose, and other places too. LOL

      Ya, that moon dust is gets in everything for sure!

    At about the 2:00 mark I see what looks like a baofeng HT HAM radio up an the dash. A HAM radio is incredibly smart as you can have it programmed to various repeaters and call for help in a life threatening emergency.
    Have you ever thought about mounting it to keep it from bouncing around? I have seen guys use the molle straps on seat covers. I have also found this little doo-dad on a HAM facebook page.

    Do you think a Jeep with no lockers can do this trail?

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's strongly advised. I'm sure there are some folks out there that have done it without lockers, but not without being pretty aggressive. I prefer to turn the lockers on and take it easy on the skinny pedal.

      A couple Jeeps had theirs off. It was Very dusty, so I'm glad I left mine one... dust and camera equipment do not go together!

    • @jman1863
      @jman1863 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, I can confirm there were Jeeps on this trail with doors off. If you watch again, you will see this clearly.

    • @2dollarbill3

      Multiple people seem to have running with no doors and tube style doors
