That first one has some James Bond level mods.

[@TrailRecon]

007 all the way!

[@flyfishhunter]

Haha! Agreed!

[@timothypeterson6315]

Seriously lol

[@KC-dz6qy]

You should definitely make “send in your videos” a weekly video. Even after this “pandemic” is over.

[@TrailRecon]

I don't know about weekly, but I think we'll do it from time to time for sure.

[@KC-dz6qy]

TrailRecon Works for me! Keep up the great work!

[@destralop8981]

Agreed

[@danielnelson9373]

Good idea. I'm building a full on 97 TJ ground up. I'm definitely making a video.

[@JeepTJWheelin]

All of these are amazing rigs. But that CJ•7 is my favorite. This is a nice, brief departure from today's chaotic world. Be well everyone and God bless. 🕆

[@PetesJeepAdventures]

Thanks Brad for showing my Jeep “The Kid” to your viewers. Our rig is always a project in progress and have many plans ahead. Looking at the other rigs I feel honoured to have my Jeep showcased with all these great rigs. Lots of good ideas from all those submissions. Inspiring ! Your channel has inspired me to start my own. As I live in a French part of Canada, my KZbin channel is bilingual (French and English) called PETE’S JEEP ADVENTURES. I have a lot to learn about making videos. It is a work in progress. Having your channel as a model is very helpful. Thanks again Brad.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you for your submission, I enjoyed checking out your Jeep!

[@franciscozamora649]

Nice ride man... Hey, what's the roof you have on your red jeep? The foldable one.

[@stevefossum9065]

the guinness on the Germany Jeep was the best mod!

[@UlrichGoetz]

Yes, I like the Irish Gold.

[@Solo-gh2gy]

The first guy in AZ is a genius, I love his jeep

[@TheChicagOP]

i was about to say the same thing

[@TrailRecon]

He's got an engineers mind for sure!

[@zacharyfike1071]

That bed setup was sweet

[@BattlePhrog165]

THEKSMITH!!!! I found his write-ups when I had my WJ. and now I find myself constantly stumbling upon his creations now that I have my JK. FLIPPIN AWESOME.

[@sidneyfalcon7937]

RIGHT! I want him to customize my Jeep!

[@MrVictorLind]

Jacks story almost had me in tears! Seems like an awesome guy, and what a great TJ build! Let's create those memories!!

[@jacklosco7514]

Thanks for the kind words. We can never truly know how we will react or respond to situations until we are personally faced with the challenge. As I replied above, my accomplishments are not my individual efforts. My faith, family, and friends will will not allow and do not expect any less. My quality of life is just as high as it was before my accident 30+ years ago.

[@jacklosco7514]

Thanks. I really enjoy meeting fellow off-roaders on the trail. You are very supportive and encouraging. I spend most of my summer wheeling in Colorado.

[@Leon-lp9fl]

9 is by far the best family Jeep build and 1 when you sleep alone. Luke with the JK and trailer for me takes the day and put him first on my list. Still, like them all. Thank you Brad, enjoy this very much.

[@utopia.exploring]

I love the last guys Jeep. The crazy heating system was amazing!

[@UlrichGoetz]

This built was not easy, but it works and I can deside with the black switch in which direction the warm air will go.

[@TJHill-fk1cp]

Ulrich Goetz who makes your exterior rear window mounts that holds your water jugs ?

[@UlrichGoetz]

@@TJHill-fk1cp Hello, I make this do it myself, you can see this on a video on my KZbin Channel. Ulrich Goetz, 7 Slots & 4 Wheels.

[@gparroz3288]

The guy from AZ is on a whole other wavelength than I am on, awesome rig. The guy in the wheelchair also has an awesome rig. However there are so many cool mods that the guy from Germany did (hole in roof to access the tent. WOW) that make his rig incredible and IMHO he wins whatever prize that is offered

[@allanwagner4570]

that CJ ROCKS!!!! I cant imagine what that cost??? HOWEVER we all know its a labor of LOVE

[@onetruebob_tj]

I'm partial to Jack's TJ because I know him personally. And I've seen how capable that rig and his driving expertise. But... I love the first and last rigs. Excellent overlanding rigs. Well outfitted and ready for anything.

[@jacklosco7514]

Thanks for the shoutout Bob!

[@UlrichGoetz]

Thanks for your opinion. I am the german guy. I will show some more details in the extended version of the video on my KZbin-Channel very soon. Pleased check out.

[@Jeep482]

That CJ-7 is the Bomb!

[@RDRJOHN]

I love the first guys approach...looks like any normal Jeep but all the hidden gadgets and mods, very cool

[@wyattoneable]

I have to say that first build was pretty fa-nominal, but the're all cool.

[@TrailRecon]

100% agree!

[@brandonsjeffers]

This has got to be the best collection of viewer builds yet. These were incredible!

[@AnayanationAutoDetailing]

That first Jeep from AZ is amazing and dude is a darn genius. Holy smokes. Awesome Jeeps and builds for sure.

[@lukewhitecloud8240]

The first JK was AWESOME! That guy is super talented. Incredibly impressive! Bravo.

[@sobek420]

The guy from germany was my favorite! I was born in germany when my dad was in army till i was one years old. I asked my dad a year ago or so who is also a jeeper if he remembered any wheeling out there and he said no but was usually near bases so wasn’t sure, cool to see the country known for mountains has their share of wheeling and beautiful scenery with jeep in the foreground! Great build

[@JAinHTX]

That 83 CJ is something else. So dope

[@robertruggles6067]

Albert, your CJ is awesome!

[@mtnfvr]

Loved this one brad. So many ideas for my build. I’m going to like this twice.

[@RD1138]

FIRST build is by far the best one!!!!

[@BluMaGiKCj]

More CJ content!, but with thisCJ $ craze nobody wants to modify ! I’m daily driving 1979 my father bought in 1980. Thanks love ur videos

[@codymcgee6999]

One of the best Jeep videos ever. Thanks Brad for all the hard work and thanks everyone for all the great submissions. My mind is blown right now.

[@a.k.forister1400]

Albert! Love the CJ! And thank you for saving her.

[@boldrbangr9834]

All of the submissions continue to blow me away! Very entertaining & inspirational. Keep 'em coming!

[@TrailRecon]

There were so many things to admire in all of these submission, I really enjoyed watching them!

[@DOLPHINATOR9778]

The second man is an inspiration for me personally. God bless 🙌 and keep Jeeping SIR💪💪💪

[@cjayflo9319]

The last Jeep from Germany is a perfect couple's set up. Never having to go out into the weather is something I don't the west coast crowd thinks about too much but I would pay the price to get that Alucab setup. Well done.

[@nickolsen2175]

That first rig is dialed!

[@shanningporter3653]

Wow, what a great bunch of Jeeps. All the owners should be proud. Thanks to all sharing their rides on the channel.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Wow! I almost decided to quit watching the remainder of the video. "Gadget" is how I would want my Jeep to be modified...self contained, simple, no frills, bells and whistles. The only overland statements are the larger tires and the trasheroo bag hanging on the spare. I love that clean look. I am trying to keep my Jeep clean and the only thing that gives my vehicle away is the cargo basket on the roof and a couple of extra fog lamps on the grill. I don't plan on rock climbing or mudding, just simple camping trips into nature. I love your videos, the incredible adventures and mostly the camaraderie you share with other enthusiasts. I tend to be more of a lone wolf and just get out to a scenic area and enjoy.

[@markgriggs1808]

Alex has to be the prime example of most of us. His voice and sincerity was pretty cool to watch. Happy Trails Brother. "Gadget"...wow...amazing stuff.

[@TattooswithTodd]

I love to come back to this video. That red TJ is absolutely insane. one of the coolest and most functional rigs i have ever seen

[@jerrodcorey25]

1st Jeep is AMAZING ! ! ! HAVENT EVEN MADE IT TO NUMBER 2 YET . . . .

[@kwilcox417]

That first build was soo clean and the gadgets were amazing!!! This was a great episode and hope you keep doing these post-COVID19.

[@snowmeowoutdoors802]

Really liked the CJ. Great build. That front bumper on that JK @25:00 was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.

[@90volts]

Love the water tank with the sprayer on the front. and with a heat exchanger too! great idea! But mostly i love how they all love and are proud of their jeeps. great idea showcasing them!

[@nachovalenti]

I love every single Jeep and in this case,all of them are great but if I have to choose one, the first one seems spectacular to me,especially since almost everything has been done by the owner for his Jeep and with great ideas. Of course the second Jeep for all that his Jeep brings and means to a person with reduced mobility and also his enthusiasm. Thank you Brad for giving us these great times.

[@jacklosco7514]

Thanks for the kind words. The people I meet are just as inspiring and important.

[@TrailRecon]

Glad you like them!

[@nachovalenti]

Jack Losco You are very welcome,you deserve it so much.

[@coldrockadventure5441]

These builds are awesome! Great content with making the best of this situation. You've inspired me to do adventure style videos too!

[@TrailRecon]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@christinadagher2392]

Awesome!

[@huf67]

Those are all great Jeeps but number 1 would have to be my favorite !! Very well built and organized !!

[@Helpsmallbusinesses]

Jason's 12 inch iPad pro on the dash was my favorite. Awesome rig

[@imsecond578]

I love the first jeep. A ton of great ideas. The fact that he hand built items that are readily commercially available was really nice.

[@lachumbley]

I'll take that German JL, please. Don't forget to include the beer!

[@patrickjamesmcb]

Absolutely loved this video Brad! Not only seeing the cool, very custom Jeeps, but getting to know each owner a little bit. Jack's video with his LJ really stuck out to me the most. So moving. Jack has an amazing personality. I would be honored to call him a friend. His Jeep is amazing too! Pursue your dreams

[@jacklosco7514]

Thanks for the kind words. My accomplishments are, by no means, an individual effort. My faith, family, and friends, do not allow or expect anything less. Being able to be out and experience the people and places that I have been is truly amazing. I learned soon after my accident, life is what you make of it. It all can change in the blink of an eye, but you still have the choice of making the best out of what you have. Take care my friend.

[@patrickjamesmcb]

@@jacklosco7514 Having good friends and family is priceless! Having good people in your life is getting harder and harder these days. People are being more and more antisocial. Stuck on phones, etc. Now Covid will make it more challenging. It is sad

[@MBdrummer3288]

Love it all!! I just purchased a bone stock 2005 Jeep Rubicon LJ and look forward to building it out! What an incredible community. I absolutely love this stuff!!

[@jasonbelch8344]

The fabrication on the first Jeep in the lineup was awesome - the air system is fully marketable 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@blueicejk2941]

The first JK was insane! Mind blown.

[@apexpredator_jku]

LJUR is badass! That rig is the holy grail & built to perfection...everything that a hard core rock crawler would want and need. Amazing how our Jeeping lifestyle still allows for this inspirational gentleman to be an asset to this community despite his paralysis. Major props.

[@TrailRecon]

Couldn't agree more!

[@jacklosco7514]

Thanks for the kind reply. The offroading community is amazing. They never see my disability. It is always you can do this. What if we modify this so you can do that. Awesome people!

[@330JFOX]

Jack, love the LJ digging the positive attitude of not letting anything stopur Jepping experience.

[@jacklosco7514]

Thanks for the kind words. After my accident, I realized how quickly things can change. Then, you have a decision to make. Sit at home and feel sorry for yourself or get on with what life has to offer and make the most of everyday. Well, my faith, family, and friends were not about to let the first happen. So, I had no choice. LOL

[@charlybrown954]

I admire the love every one puts on their jeep.

[@charleskeezer5992]

Semper FI! I was with 7th Comm Bn back in 97.. love the channel and glad I found it. Lots of information.

[@jimt2316]

Didn't think the View Rigs series could get any better, then they stepped it up a notch.

[@fxdad4933]

The 3rd rule of Jeep Club, never apologize for a "dirty" Jeep.

[@jnatiw]

All great rigs, but, wow, that CJ! Woo! And a special shout out to the dude who flipped his toy and real Jeeps. LOL. Just picked up my first Jeep (I'm 60 years old). Thanks for the inspiration. Looking forward to the adventures that await.

[@DoubleHaulSeth]

Christopher's Jeep is so sweet. well thought out, well built accessories and so clean. love it all!

[@eliugonz]

As always, great video Brad! Love all the rigs! Beautiful CJ-7, specially the Coqui! ;-) Nice build brother!

[@danielstephens9196]

Totally loved seeing nearly stock jeeps!

[@davidparadis490]

The rooftop tent on the last one was great, with the hole in the roof access and the canopy on the exterior

[@kpfalconi]

WOW! I want to mix and match most of these mods. Great stuff everyone!

[@lloydrage]

This is a pretty cool use. Loving the fan builds

[@rotaryrotary4227]

First guy in Arizona. I’m need that fold out sleep platform! I sleep in the back of my Jeep all the time for work and a little mor leg room would be perfect

[@TrailRecon]

It's a great design!

[@RunningWasp]

@@TrailRecon Hi Brad, I'm the same as Rotary Rotary. Is there any way I can reach out to him or you to get his tech spec's/feedback for the drawer/sleeping platform and how he approached it?? That thing is awesome!!!

[@roseapple8786]

I love the first one from Arizona. Love to have that one. Also loved the last one too. Awesome over all on the rest.

[@molonlabe4240]

This was EPIC, Superb Job to all!!

The last JL was my favorite. Accessing your tent with no ladder!

[@WesleyTecson]

That first one really suprise me!

[@00ninja00]

Wow, love the red LJ!! Such a well thought out and impressive build!! Very very nice!

[@jacklosco7514]

Thanks. Built by Ken Carter and the CNC4X4 club.

[@alvarezgilbert01]

Something about RED LJ’s makes me fall in love all over again with JEEPS

[@jerryfenski561]

Wow, I have to up my over landing game in a major way. Inspiring builds.

[@chaddamewood9840]

As a former YJ and TJ owner and a new JLU Rubicon owner this makes me so happy. My saddest car day was the day the TJ went away and my happiest when I sold my Tesla so I could buy a JL.

[@zumezoom9593]

i really like the first JK. clean on the outside theft proof, and the designs and structure on the inside is perfectly set. i don't know how i feel about the onboard water system, but the onboard air and automatic pressure gauge system is pretty awesome. LOVE IT!!

[@halfnelson6115]

That restored trailer was pretty sweet. Great job to the builder. 👍 #respect to wheelchair off road guy.

[@jaradderosa3252]

Jack is an inspiration!

[@jacklosco7514]

Thank you for the kind words. I try to make the best of every day. I now realize how quickly it all can be taken away.

[@DOLPHINATOR9778]

Loved all the JEEPS! MY HEART ❤ BELONGS TO CJS 💪💪 cheers from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Love your channel. Come Jeep with us down here BUT come prepare,Big boy stuff here!

[@robpedrow9293]

Gadget JK had some really cool unique features.

[@davidteeramusic5461]

I really think the trailer set up is such a better option. I say simpler the better :)

[@daisuke8872]

Another AWESOME content! My depression from this quarantine period is totally gone now.

[@sithinstructor]

I like this series. Really great place for ideas of what you like or not for your own rig. Plus just cool seeing other Jeep ppl showing off their rigs.

[@gremlin3362]

I love these videos. It’s so humbling to see and hear the stories around each build.

[@dealy9268]

All great builds! Thanks for sharing.

[@gunstanksplanes9001]

Wow! The stories in this series are amazing! If I win the lottery I am going to hunt down my fellow Arizonian! Really enjoyed the LA USN story and I liked how his family is involved. Kudo's to the guy with the specialy modified cockpit Jeep! You Rock! No pun intended. :)

[@ridiculex834]

Thanks for the feedback, I am the LA/USN Guy.

[@jacklosco7514]

Thanks! The offroading community is comprised of a great bunch of inspiring people. They never say can't. It's what if we cut this and weld that. I really enjoy life.

[@JKTrail]

Have to say Oorah for Navy, and Bravo Zulu to the guy in the wheel chair for some incredible wheeling, but I think it was Chris with the AZ Jeep; what an incredible build.

[@motiv8m3dia]

First Jeep was sick. love the innovation. Unfortunately I encountered a 7 minute ad after and it would not let me skip

[@dawnwilson834]

🖤 the Trailer rebuild!

[@stevetabor4447]

Good stuff brad a lot of cool builds been cutting my own hair for over twenty years glad you got some clipper skills hope you an your family are doing good as always be safe

[@K2theAblam]

I think you really found a special niche genre for your channel, Brad. These videos are great and I love how you're bringing people together. The personal touch is fantastic.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! I've really enjoyed watching them and getting to know some of you all... it's been a great experience for me on this end!

[@georgesmith8255]

I love the wagon wheels on the yellow CJ… I hunted and hunted for a set of those and could not find any… of course I was looking during the pandemic and it was hard to find just about anything… i am still working on my Jeep… had 2 major set backs…. One the pandemic… two I blew my right knee out… folded it 30 degrees the wrong way and had to have complete knee replacement… now I have a hard time standing next to my Jeep to work on it…or crawling under… BUT before that happened I did get new timing chain in the engine… new seals all under… new brakes… leaf springs… wheels tires… new bumpers front and rear…now that we got it running I hear a popping coming from the back end when I turn.. can’t figure out where it’s coming from… I want to find another jeep with hard top and covert it to a overland trailer..

[@TheArake07]

That LJ is beautiful

[@travisrogers187]

Awesome video! Love the 1st Jeep truly some creative and unique mods. Also the work done to the CJ was super cool!

[@superman01011]

I’m not a Jeep guy but heck these are some of the nicest rides I have seen

[@ninez5740]

I know it’s an older video, but you have do more of these. Eye candy, Jeep candy…yeah Jeep Candy. Nice builds!

[@1992Hoffman]

Nice Jeeps I love the 1st one setup and the one with the army trailer.

[@mudinmyeye2881]

These are all good!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@littlebuddyFilms]

Thanks for sharing these jeep builds. The AZ jeep build is very creative and the PA jeep trailer rebuild is neat. Very nice video.

[@breegamm]

Extension cord port @ 4:23 was an appealing feature. My favorite build was the German couple's (#9) with the entranceway into the tent from within the Jeep, although they were all really spectacular!

[@robbierobertson7607]

Gadget was very well built and clean

[@mtbpirates]

All nice Jeeps. The first one had great creative upgrades, but the CJ-7 / Wow!!! Very nice!!

[@brianreinertsen9339]

Brad, I am so glad that you posted this adapted jeep. I have been looking for solutions to modify a Wrangler and allow me to load my manual wheelchair in the cargo area with minimal effort. Every one of your videos has been helpful in this pursuit. Currently, I am researching ways to easily load my chair in the cargo area, and then getting to the front of the vehicle, and then in. I would be interested to see if you have any suggestions.
