Classic Adventure Crawler - Jeep Commando Build

There is so much work that has gone into making this 1973 bullnose Jeep Commando the ultimate adventure rig. Just about everything on this Slantback 6 has been gone through. ROAMR has been putting out some excellent custom 4x4 vehicles and I think you will really enjoy the walk around we do of this one.

I loved my TJ and I love my JK, but I’d leave them both for this Commando. This might be the best Jeep build I’ve ever seen.

[@mountainskyaerialphotograp3921]

Brings back memories! My first Jeep was a 1967 Jeep Commando. I was 16 at the time. Had amny good times in that jeep right up to the point I drove it into a canal. LOL. Thanks.

[@JeepTJ1999]

I’m in love!!! I started falling Brad / Trail Recon a few months ago when I decided I was going to learn how to work on my Jeeps & own mods. It’s been interesting. I’ve messed up, but I’ve also got some correct & felt accomplished. It’s been fun. This ride is my DREAM!!!!

[@CoMoEnTrAsAlE]

Insane build, one of my favorites if not my favorite so far, it's so clean and so mean... I'm in love.

[@TrailRecon]

So clean!

[@andrewbyor3198]

I like that they kept the round light “old school” look for the light bar 👌🏼

[@TrailRecon]

Love the old school look!

[@AmericanJeeper]

What a beautiful ride! After my JL is squared away, I’ll be starting work on a similar ‘68 Commando. My first vehicle was a ‘73 Commando, and will be the donor for the ‘68.

[@GamerNxUSN]

Love how the guy in the teraflex shirt keeps his knife hand at the low ready the entire time.

[@TrailRecon]

Ready to strike if I get out of line!

[@rodwood693]

The only down side to this rig that I can see, is the fact that it's not mine! What a clean build. Love everything about it. Thanks for sharing, Brad. 👍🏼

[@TrailRecon]

I think many of us would love to have this parked in our garage! Thanks!

[@NigelNaughton]

"2nd Amendment inspired color" That is so awesome! What a build! This is the stuff that is happening every day, for everyday people. This is the stuff that happens in the background of this great country but when exposed (Thanks TrailRecon et. al ) it makes us all extremely proud to be American, and appreciate our beautiful country and all it has to offer.

[@TrailRecon]

So cool what 2 guys in a small shop are able to accomplish!

[@MikeDrasher]

I'm floored.... Absolutely love this build!

[@johnmunder7107]

Beautiful custom build ROAMR, it rocks. Thanks Brad for bringing us this walk around you really get the gears turning sharing all these awesome jeep builds with us.

[@chrisloUSA]

Thanks for showing this. I always wanted a Jeep, something for light off road use and to get me around during the Pennsylvania winters but your channel is getting me interested in Overlanding very quickly. Thank you.

[@chuckzechman7390]

Great build. Thanks for featuring it!

[@ipdjbt]

The color looks like Magpul foliage green to me :)

[@TrailRecon]

Love the 2nd amendment inspiration!

Great review of custom modified Jeep Commando.

[@bradellis3855]

Awesome, Awesome build, y'all! Great thought into every nook and cranny... I'm in the middle of my 91 YJ build, and I got some good ideas. Thanx!

[@TrailRecon]

Good luck with your YJ build!

[@ronron8464]

Thanks for these walk around Brad‼️ They are really cool. Appreciate it. 👊

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

Unbelievable build!!! If I could only own two Jeeps it would be this Commando and the Jeep Shortcut concept.

[@TrailRecon]

I would love to have a classic Jeep like this one in my garage!

[@robdude1969]

this Jeepster is so.... BADASS!!!

Great build. Always great to hear dads keeping their kids involved. Another cool rig walkaround Brad. Good job

Doing stuff like this with family makes it all worth it!

[@FlexRocksRollovers]

Such an awesome rig!

[@newellrobinson9072]

Talk about an awesome build...completely impressed by everything. LOVE IT!!!!!

[@TrailRecon]

Once I saw this up and close in person, I was blown away by how much work they had put into it!

[@johannschuster9730]

That is a GORGEOUS machine!!! WELL done!!! Somewhere between Jules Verne, Indiana Jones, and Robotech - INSANELY cool! Love how everything is hard core, but then that steering wheel & shifter knobs just SWAGGER!

[@TrailRecon]

Between Indian Jones and Robotech... spot on!!

[@Tylerjschmidt]

I love all the rugged features, that gas cap was my favorite part.

I wish I had heated seats. This Jeep is absolutely beautiful. I love JLs but this is over the top. Great quality detailed work. Very innovative. Thanks

[@DannyWalker1949]

0H BABY❕ I Love this 0l' Jeep with the CJ front-end on it. As you may or may not remember I'm an 0lder Model Lover, I don't usually like the Jeepster style/model's. But, this is an AWESOME Made, Look'n, Cool JEEP. I LOVE IT Fella's. I wish I could afford one of these👍🏼

[@exodus_offroad6443]

@@RoamRlife Welcome, you guys did an amazing job! It really shows how good taste and thought out planning can go a long way. I think it is the first time I have watched a walk around video where I did not think, "If it were mine, I would change this" I think the rear tire carrier table is a great idea. Thoroughly impressed!

[@franciscovasquez4555]

Great fit and finish lots of ideas for the community to adapt for their own rigs

[@TrailRecon]

Tons of little ideas to take away from this project.

[@michaelfallen1564]

I really love your rig walkarounds, you do a great job selecting Jeeps to show off! I love seeing nice, tastefully done builds like this compared to a lot of the overdone, multicolored LED everywhere, angry eye stuff you see on social media all the time. Super cool Jeep!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! I have a lot of fun getting to get up and close with these amazing builds.

Awesome build. Only thing I would change is the tail lights. I think either the stock JK lights, or go with the round Maxbilt.

Thank you!

[@rareearthfab5511]

So much fabrication on this build, I could have stared at it for several hours and still kept finding little touches they had done.

Who dislikes this videos? Keep it up, awsome like always

[@sneakytails1724]

I totally agree with the bedliner paint, I plan on doing my winter rig a 1996 XJ with it. I just want to power wash it down once a month and just do other things. I really dont understand the whole shiny jeep thing. These things are made to get dirty not be show cars. Amazing build, Real jeeps are built not bought!

[@rogerbean6442]

Killer rig!!! Thanks for the video!

[@TrailRecon]

Agree, such an awesome rig. Thank you!

[@redbarry2540]

Great Guys and Really a Great Build....! Tip the hat to them for keeping that classic Jeep look and feel, while creating a tasteful hybrid rig. Including the modern and custom touches throughout with functionality in mind, also incorporating some basic creature comforts and technology is right on point. I am very impressed with the suspension stuffed under there, with all of those parts...I bet it rides super nice, and performs well on/off the road. I’d seriously like to own, build, and ride something like this for sure....!

[@TrailRecon]

Tony and Troy are great down to earth guys and really have some amazing creativity. I'm excited to see what their next project will be.

I wander if the mounting points for the seat belts have been changed , the way they're set up will definitely compress there spins in an accident, the mounting points need to be above the raiders shoulders
