11 Overland Vehicle Camp Setups: One-Take Walk Around

Myself and 10 other friends setup an amazing overland camp site on the rim of the grand canyon as part of the E3 Overland Association's first event. In this video I take you on a tour of all the vehicles setups to look at some Jeep Wranglers, A Gladiator, a Toyota FJ, Dodge Power Wagon, Ford F150 and several overland trailers. This is a one take video, so just an unedited walk around… oh and the place we were camping at was epic!

Holy crap. That F-150's bed was gorgeous.

[@taylorhammond1992]

Any body know where I can find a detailed walk around of it?

[@TheThisguysucks]

I think that is from builtright industries. The bed wall liner system

[@weschilton]

Definitely bad ass!

[@MB47]

This channel just makes me happy, love the story telling Brad!

[@TrailRecon]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@robertscharfe9879]

Please do a video on Marco’s interior electrical system and all his mounting hardware on his jeep would greatly appreciate

[@lonnyhillin336]

Yes, indeed, please do.

[@golferzachpdx]

Yes please!

[@freddytello6597]

Just about to make the same comment! This was the first comment, definitely a must do!

[@samiam2714]

Yes please!!!

[@thinde88]

I’d love a full detailed walk around of that F150

[@seantan2912]

Can we just talk about how ORGANISED that F150 was?!

[@thesarge8488]

You mentioned pack it in pack it out, 4WD 24-7 started a campaign 2 in 2 out. One trash bag is for you the other is to make the trail or campsite is cleaner than you found it. It would be a great program for E3 overland to adopt. Great video as always, I always have new ideas from these walk around videos

[@BenandBrandi]

Love seeing the F-150, as that’s what we are building now! Good video Brad!

[@aa-ron1057]

Don’t sleep on the f150 v8 they hav been super reliable for me and my work fleet 22mpg and 420 hp to tow I dumped my Tacoma and I love my f150 XLT I run E85 and it roars

[@ElCompa_Mario]

That f150!! Super clean set up!

[@olinshea]

that ford with the smart cap is really awesome. it’s so clean on the inside.

[@chrissolomon8868]

Yes I truly enjoy watching your videos, you make it a point to elaborate on all the finer details of each vehicles, and I can see the hapiness you exhale as you narrated the whole setup👍🏼

[@doublen675]

Glad to see the full-size boys representin'! 20' Ram 1500 here. I for one would LOVE to see more of that F-150 setup!

[@nicktuttle6777]

Good to see an F150 in the group. Maybe you can give some more details on that? Great video

[@TrailRecon]

It's a great build, next time hopefully I'll have more time to get some more details on it.

[@ralphdayrit]

The channel that inspires me to get a pickup and have some trails!

[@TrailRecon]

Heck ya, get out and have some adventures!

[@DM-tf6mk]

Awesome walk around vid! Absolutely loved the bed set-up in that F-150!

[@Theyrun]

The F150 was the winner for me , the way the bed was organized was really nice. Marco also has one awesome setup.

[@onespunmonkey]

The North Rim is amazing and there are lot’s of places to camp. I hope to see more videos of you guys exploring the Grand Canyon.

[@bigdave4863]

I really would like to see a more detailed walk around of the Ford F150 . . . It is very similar to what I want to build!! Oh, and nothing with Marco cooking is a mortal sin Chief!!! LOL Great video as always!

Love that you show other off-roading rigs And the view is beautiful. Can’t wait to have more time to go out camping and wheeling with my gladiator. 👍🏼

[@aaronsacks09]

Just want to echo the other comments. Would love more detail on Marco’s set up and that F-150! Love to model my lariat on something and take the family truck camping.

I just love it when Marco is in the videos. He’s like your sidekick. We need more Marco videos!!!

[@Forged4x4]

Chill on getting so close to the rim while filming Brad! Lol. Anxiety level is high over here :)

[@arkos55]

Nice how you pointed out that you don’t need all this stuff to get out for a few nights. Sure, all these toys are awesome, but they’re also not always needed if you just want to get out and enjoy new places.

[@Michael_Tran]

Man, Marc's jeep look like it's going to take off to outer space pretty soon with the paint and electrical system. haha

[@alsmith1025]

awesome video. Every time Marco pops up I can't help but smile. He's such a cool dude.

[@ericdowney3716]

This is the first! I’ve been watching your videos forever and everyone one is as awsome as the next. Great work.

[@krasnaludek298]

The great thing about the full-size trucks: Power Wagon & that F-150 is they’re comfortable ... flat-out. It goes without saying that they give you more storage capacity, but I have a 2018 JL & 2015 Ford F-150; the truck is the best for longer road trips. I don’t do rock crawling, so the Ford fits the bill in most terrain. Still love my Jeep for it’s sheer top-off fun & knocking around on weekends.

[@avigal952]

This video is awesome, do you happen to have the coordinates for this location?

[@JeepingNet]

Nice to see a fellow LJ Rubicon on the channel! Nice set of rigs and amazing camping spot.

[@danboutwell1565]

Love looking at the equipment in these jeeps. Look like you are having so much fun.

[@bryanhernandez9188]

You guys go on the best trips with the best views! Keep those videos coming and I will vicariously through you and Marco until I can make those adventures myself one day.

[@Berserkeroffroad]

Nice job nailing it in one shot! It usually takes me 10 takes just to introduce myself, which is why I primarily do voiceover instead of on-camera narration.

[@PowerTankOfficial]

This is high up on my list of trails to run. Can't wait to hear more about it!

[@nosnerd1967]

Love it ! Yes you should do a full feature on Marcos Jeep .. ( and the f150 😬) Living vicariously thru u guys ❤️🤛

[@4x4overlandadventures55]

Another Opus!! It is great to see them out in the wild! Very cool to see all of the set ups!

[@hereto246]

You need to be more excited. !! Just kidding, we can tell you're having a great time. And nice to see Marco (in the kitchen as usual) !!

[@1stpaintballmaster]

"This does not suck!" Seems like a bit of an understatement. Love the outdoors.

[@honkyheath]

That LJ is incredible. Such a neat seat up

[@azaniapulse3014]

This is definitely a dream camp vibe for me, I luuuv the Grand Canyon. I'm South Africa and camping here is my bucket list 👌👌👌

“You don’t have to have a roof top tent... but you have to setup way over there” 😅 awesome video trailrecon!

[@ty6384]

Another great video thanks so much! nice see how everyone else is doing it not to mention just a beautiful view!

[@jmsuitter5]

Awesome videos catching up I was so behind great stuff as always

[@necrotoaster94]

Another great video. Impromptu handicam type videos get a bad wrap but they really do allow anyone to film anywhere with almost no prep work beyond a steady hand. This was a great one and I enjoyed the fact that it was an 'as if you were there walking around with us' candid style. No need to apologize for it being that way, was still super enjoyable. :)

[@bowjangles510]

I’m so mad! I was so excited for this and I wasn’t fast enough to enter! Lol very cool can’t wait for my next chance to enter.

[@phuturephelps]

Brad man, love the videos. I gotta admit I caught myself imitating your voice during your intros because you have great enthusiasm and passion for overland. “ALL RIGHT GUYSSS THIS HAS GOT TO BE UP THERE WITH THE BEST CAMPSITES I CANT WAIT TO SHOW YOU GUYS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING..” I can’t wait to be retired like you. 12 more years!!

[@appleguy1986]

Hi Brad! Thanks for sharing all the different vehicle setups. It's always interesting to see how folks decide to equip their rigs. I have done many mods since you and I have seen each other last. It's great to see you out there doing what you love. Take care.

[@backcountryoverland103]

That is a wicked cool spot. Don't give it away on a silver platter ! Camped there a few years ago. 3 nights & no other rigs. But I did get chopper buzzed a bit. Lot's of rattle snakes there too. I did throw on a back pack and hiked down to the river for an overnight & swim on the sandy beach. Took a day hike up the canyon to check out the condors that nest in there. I like that spot better than the "other place" because of the river access. It's work to get down and up but worth it. Looks like a great time. Nice rig assortment.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Awesome rigs! The bed set up on the F150 was clean and unbelievable...love that clean look. What a blast you all are enjoying. Man, you make me really miss Arizona. I was stationed in Gila Bend and in Phoenix for several years. I car camped and motorcycle camped all over this gorgeous state. The Grand Canyon is spectacular. I did the hike up and down on the North Rim, floated on the Colorado in a raft and on inner tubes, camped in most of the allowable sites. BTW Brad, that's a great view from your campsite :)

[@ultramegajones1980]

So awesome... I live in Kuwait and I dream of coming back the US and starting my adventures. Always inspiring TrailRecon.

[@5183p]

It was a great time with y’all and the view was killer

[@relewis3]

Love your videos Brad! You have genuine passion of the overland lifestyle. You have inspired my wife and I to get a second Jeep and start our own overland build. Keep it up and maybe one day we will see you on the trail!

[@ianfinlayson7853]

Does the F150 owner have an Instagram or a page? I've been building an F150 and I would love more details on that beautiful build!

[@dylan519able]

I just got my 16 f150 lariat a week and a half ago, would love to know what he's rocking

[@thunderjamm]

Second this! Who is this guy? Loved his rig

[@errrmagerrd]

Would also love to know more info about his setup. My rsi smartcap evo is on back order, but ordered for my full size build. Love his bed molle organization though. Any info would be appreciated!

I wish i had time to do this was looking at the gladiator but just ordered a 2021 trd off-road Tacoma and plan to build it up and over the next year and re gear it in two or three years however i don’t plan on lifting it because it will be my daily driver and I plan to do mostly over-landing and little to no rock crawling.

[@TrailRecon]

TRD Off-Road is a great platform for a build!

Great vehicle you have sir, I say pack the essentials and get out there and make some memories with what you have. That Toyota will take care of you. Take pics or draw some stuff too.

[@cnc75adventures49]

Why are you thinking of changing your gears if your not going to be running bigger tires which is the main reason you lift a vehicle gears are expensive and would decrease your fuel economy just curious?

[@NateKK7]

@@cnc75adventures49 faster acceleration better towing and torque

[@overlandexpedition4656]

Brad, I love this "on the fly" video of all the different rig set-ups! If you don't do a complete walk-around on Marco's set-up, you're just a jerk! 🤣😂🤣😂 But, seriously - I really enjoyed seeing the full-size Power Wagon and F-150 . . . I am in the finishing stages of building a Ford Expedition for full-time Overlanding. It's been a challenge because there's not much in the way of aftermarket for my Expedition (2005). I had to remove the third-row seating (for extra room for auxiliary AGM batteries and freshwater tank/on-demand pump) and 2 of the three 2nd row seating for even more storage capacity. Because I work remotely, I had to have an adequate workspace, I left the seat directly behind the front passenger seat and created a fold-away desk. The list of modifications is too long to list, but I feel confident that I have built/designed a very capable overlanding rig to suit my needs - time will tell as I hit the trails in mid-November. But, something tells me this will be a work-in-progress! LOL . . . My goal is to purchase a newer model Ford Expedition in late 2021 and start a new build after learning from my mistakes. I'm currently in Texas, but my overlanding adventures will take me all over the country. I have a small piece of acreage in NW Arizona and plan to utilize it for extended periods of downtime and vehicle maintenance/upgrades. Said property is completely undeveloped and off-grid. (It would make for a great meet-up spot for future TrailRecon excursions. LOL) The property is located approximately 30 miles south of Hoover Dam, not too far from the Colorado River. I hope to cross paths with you on the trail someday soon.
