Iron Man, The 5 Year Jeep Wrangler Build - Walk Around

[@TexanUSMC8089]

What's wrong with people. He works for Rebel Offroad. It's his job to have an awesome Jeep. It's over the top. If it was a piece of crap he'd probably be looking for a new job. This isn't a poor mans Jeep, but it's one we'd see in a magazine or video and wish for. Great Job. Thanks for another great video.

[@loveforkicks]

@chMY check this crazy jeep gladiator out

[@jmsuitter5]

One of the best walk arounds you've done probably because I love that jeep. Dream build.

[@VENOM-jf3iz]

🥂

[@johnpadilla480]

So thank the owner of that jeep for spending his time with you so we can all see the awesomeness of that jeep. Thanks for sharing!

[@joerobinson7141]

Wow that Jeep is amazing...really well thought out and everything is functional!!! This is what I love about Jeeps, people build it the way they like it. I hope mine can even get close to that build one day!!!

[@TrailRecon]

You are so right! I was out with 57 Jeep this last weekend and it was so fun to walk around and just see what everyone had done to their rig... no 2 are alike.

[@randifriedner]

I love this Jeep. I just got my JLU Rubicon and I knew what light bar look Iwanted but didn't know where to go to until I saw your KC HiLites Gravity LED light bar. That instantly went to the top of my wish list. They're in my garage and waiting for time to install. Thanks for all of your great videos!

[@TheNotaRubicon]

Gotta love the 4 door! JKU FTW !

[@duyanphuong]

Man, I really love this setup for the Jeep. Everything was organized so well. There’re so many style setups but this wow me at all. Thanks for share!

[@KidKobe210]

Been following this build since I got my JK. Might have been the first time i saw the nemesis flares. i now have the nemesis flares and i love them. it was great seeing a full walk around of the rig. great choice for this series!

[@matthewcurrie5963]

This thing is amazing. Like. This is everything I’d ever want in a vehicle. It looks. Amazing. Aswell as performance!!

[@j.r.777]

I just ordered a new 2021 JL Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited on November 12th. And now we wait... I was born and raised in the East County of San Diego and grew up in the El Cajon, Lakeside and Santee areas. When I was born in 74’, my Dad owned a 1972 1/2 Chevy 4x4 and used to take me out off roading all the time. Then as I got into high school I bought a 1980 Datsun 4x4 for only $500.00 off of one of my youth group leaders at church. Later on I would buy a brand new 1997 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. It was a basic 4x4 that was an extra cab but only had a 2.7 liter I-4 and 5 speed manual transmission but I went everywhere in that truck. I off roaded all over California, Arizona and Nevada but my favorite spots to go were out in the East County mountain, up in the Mt. Laguna area in the Cleveland National Forrest. Buckman Springs and In-Ko-Pa were also my 2 favorite areas to go, even if it was for the day or a few hours. Anza Borrego was also always a fun place to go as well. In 2003, I moved to Colorado and left Commiefornia behind. But I will always love and miss the California that I grew up in. But not what it became! In 2007, I would buy my second Tacoma. A 2007 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road. Like my first one, it too was an extra cab but had a 4.0 V-6, 6 speed manual transmission and had an electric rear locker. I absolutely loved that truck too and had both Tacoma’s set up for off roading. I sold my 07’ because my kids outgrew the back seat. My heart was immediately broken because I no longer had an off road capable truck. This year I finally was able to add another vehicle but for off roading purposes only. I had considered a new 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road Pro but knew I was going to be limited on lifting the truck, having a front locker and doing what I wanted and needed the truck to do so I then decided that it was time to switch to a Rubicon. This will now be my first Jeep but I am excited for the new adventures that await!

[@alexandrelanglois4678]

I love that bumper man its crazy hawt, the whole jeep is insane

[@canonphoto]

One of the cleanest big ass Jeeps I’ve ever seen.

[@seanalexander9373]

Being Canadian I loved the hockey stick shifter.

[@balablue1717]

I can't get over enough with this rig, I must have seen this video more than 20 times but still I come back and enjoy the same as the first time.

[@TrailRecon]

You and me both... love this Jeep!

[@balablue1717]

TrailRecon no second thought on this, it's a well thought, planned upgrades, very capable rig.

[@SixtyNinersclub]

I just dumped $20000 into my 08 jku and its about 3/4 as nice as this. Beautiful jeep ya got here.

[@dinamonaghan7524]

Coolest Jeep I've seen. If I were in the market for a Jeep, I'd have one built like this. For now I'll keep exploring in my Volvo 740, which takes on an amazing number of obstacles.

[@adamb2619]

Love these walk around videos...and I don't even have a vehicle that can go offroad

[@brbadventurer]

12:31 First time I have seen a hockey stick shifter, pretty cool.

[@awsomer1231]

Awesome Jeep and a great interview with Taylor. Man I love his Jeep and appreciate what he helped us do on Arc Trooper.

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks brother! Arc Trooper has come a long ways!

[@prestond]

Great video and rig. I may pick up those headlights. Just did a 2” lift and I can really see the need for something with a bit more power.

[@getoutofthetimetrap5435]

Man you’re the best channel and presenter out there , really feel good watching your vids and learn so much too!

[@TrailRecon]

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate your kind words! Glad you enjoy the videos.

[@kilomike111]

Favorite upgrade is the head unit or side steps? Those would be my last upgrades. Love the Jeep though.

[@hunterpollard2110]

Anyone trying to find out how that rip kit gives him 450 hp?

[@gledisxt]

Hunter Pollard lol he prob has a bunch of other stuf under the hood Beside the supercharger but still will never get 450hp. Specially with thous size tires! Maybe on stock size 🤣

[@benpersinger2925]

It’s probably 450hp to the crank, not to the wheel

[@omarcarrillos2727]

That is a Rrediculous awesome rig, the best part is that the owner will use it off-road and not just to get a latte every morning. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@TrailRecon]

The fact that he uses this rig, for me personally, is what gives all his mods credibility. 5x on the Rubicon trail and you know the gear has been tested and will hold up! Thank you!

[@Carlo-_]

One of my favorite rigs out there

[@alphaviet6428]

Exactly same setup like my Toyota Corolla

[@eriksenactual]

My Ford Fiesta looks just like it too!

[@musa.Khurram]

😂😂😂

[@ItchingJ]

I contacted Rock Slide Engineering and they're working on that step for the JL. Super cool

[@TrailRecon]

Right on! I'm sure every manufacture is in full on Jeep JL mode tight now. Looking forward to doing a review of a modified one soon.

[@RVHabit]

That is what a boy with money can do. Wow what a jeep. Great video. Happy wheeling, Lou

[@elias38]

I fell in love with Wranglers after I rented one this year. Hoping to get one in the future.

[@leedixon7]

Love that Bauer hockey stick shifter lol

[@TrailRecon]

Lot's of little touches like this that I love!

[@JeepSolid]

That's an epic build! Realizing I have a long way to go on my build. Haha... But that's part of the fun, time in the shop 👍

[@TrailRecon]

EPIC! We all hope to get there some day... is it even possible I wonder?!

[@bigsnatchoffroad4732]

Did you say 450HP, is that at the crank or rear wheels? Which dyno did you capture that number on?

[@420taylorgang]

5 years and looks brand new this dude stays on the pavement.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

LOL Watch the video. He just took it to SEMA, but it's been down Rubicon trail 5 times.

[@BIGGELATO]

It was brand new, look at the intercooler, and other parts of this thing. Sick build, but no needs to lie about having it for 5 years and yada yada. Just promote the brand proudly, no acting needed here

[@bigfan1364]

Do you think maybe he works on Jeeps, maybe his company does

[@davids5006]

Mall crawler

[@Themoneymaker0129]

Out of ALL these upgrades, this man said either his radio or auto step up are is favorite upgrades. SERIOUSLY?!

[@garyholness5372]

At 13:10 in the video, could someone please explain what he means. I'm getting started educating myself about Jeeps as I hope to make one my next vehicle (1-1.5 yrs from now). What I think I hear is "ARB air locker." As I understand ARB makes air compressors that some mount under the hood and they also make camping refrigerators. I did a search and it came back with what looks like a differential. I'll ask the naive question. For what do you use it? Thank you in advance.

[@tylerhall182]

You lock the differential so the wheels turn at the same time for traction. They have videos on KZbin about them

[@michaelmcfarlane8199]

Very well thought out vehicle. Will be great to see it with the overland mods. Not sure about the crack at 4:14 on the shock though.

[@MustangAholicLtd]

Awesome vid! From the UK... wish we had some decent trails here!

[@alians1978]

Excellent build. Not sure about those lights on the roof though. A bit too much imo.

[@SanjeevSinghTanwar]

The bumper in the front is awesome !!!! Its an iron man for sure!

[@steviecarbone4052]

Excellent walk around, Love that Jeep!! Seems like a humble guy. Great video Brad!

[@fanboy5769]

I love how all the add ones complement the build so well. Great video Brad.

[@Hay-tn6hz]

I love these walk arounds Brad, so many ideas....

[@Dimagiorp]

Do those 6 pack kc light windshield lights make noise going down the road like a light bar does??

[@benz500r]

Oh man, that's a really nice Jeep. Thank you for posting links below.

[@TheBeardedJeeper]

So much want in that jeep. It's so shiny! I really like that alpine head unit

[@fmxman1564]

Perfect jeep, you should be proud brother!

[@heredownunder]

Great upgrade - I like the bottle opener on the back!

[@UtahNick71]

And I thought the $15K I have invested in mine was a lot.

[@loveforkicks]

@chMY check this crazy jeep gladiator out

[@superjoint57]

I am not a big fan of the 4 door Jeep’s....but this looks pretty badass! Love the color!

[@Elijah.-_]

D.P.T. Same, Tjs and yjs need more love.

[@Ghillieman04]

2 doors are for pussys fukcing clown cars smh

[@superjoint57]

Lummox And video games are for losers who need to stat indoors because they can’t get laid. Get lost young punk!

[@JattAnmoli]

D.P.T. i like 4 doors. Good for family.

[@choyfilms5598]

D.P.T. K

[@WFORacer]

As always you put out a superior video.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

I never installed my LED bar because I decided it would detract from my look and recently was thinking I might go with these round type lights but after reading comments about difficulty cleaning dead bugs off non hard shell RTTs and remembering the mess the last time I went thru a bug orchard I am now thinking I am going to make a custom, removable, curved (vertical not horizontal curve), smoked plexi or anodized aluminum cover that I will only remove for off road,. Less noise and wind resistance, no worries about all too common stay, flying, gravel on the freeway.

[@developmentdivision122]

drooling over this rig. Sergeant Crush soon please!!!

[@TrailRecon]

Would love to do Sergeant Crush's Jeep, but that's a heck of a drive to Tennessee!

[@xristosdiamantoulis9620]

What hood latches are those? Great video!

[@iltgpatged]

ya of course!

[@josephmenna3985]

Best jeep I’ve ever seen tbh

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks! I think so. 😆

[@knoxtman3011]

This is one of the perfects..i really like it soo much

[@khanrahmat6302]

This is awesome & nice 👍 Jeep. Very crafty made. It's all perfect. Salute from Swat Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

[@montebeerbower7796]

Unreal . That is just awesome. He says it rides good on road? If so I've been thinking finally upgrading our 3rd vehicle from our 2004 gx Lexus to a new jeep JL. But I'd want it done like this. I'd like to get a hold of them to see cost of building one like this one.

[@Jabroni2U]

It is a Beautiful Jeep for sure!!! Remember the acronym for J.E.E.P. ( Just Empty Every Pocket) an upgrade like this costs big bucks.

[@hsdr0poutornelas329]

Thats probably like 80k just on parts and labor

[@Themoneymaker0129]

This should be called “If you hit the lotto Jeep build walk around” LOL

[@vgullotta]

Ha, I love the hockey stick trans shifter!!! I can't believe you didn't ask him about that. I am a hockey player, too!!!! =D

[@TrailRecon]

Really sorry about that, it was a nice little personal touch that we forgot to mention.

[@Briankboy12]

Was that a custom built shifter knob? Need to get one of those haha

[@jimreed6653]

Really good video. Those fenders would look great on your jeep.

[@TrailRecon]

I think just about anything would look better than my cut up plastic fenders, but I agree, those Nemesis fenders are very nice!

[@joecool1875]

Amazing! Really sharp looking ride =) Thanks for great videos showing how Jeeps are supposed to be built ;)

[@310to703]

i am digging the matching body color look very clean

[@rf005]

What kind of Bumper is that it would be perfect for my Jeep same color . That bumper is sick

[@rcksld86]

I don't comment often, but damn that is a bad ass Jeep

[@TrailRecon]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for the comment!

[@ryanventura1487]

Wow how lucky those people who can affort that kind of jeep..love it.......

[@dennisc8664]

Wow! Really great rig, he spent a lot of money on it.

[@Aikidoman06]

I never understand why everyone points their A pilar light straight on. I have a duel set and I have one at 45, the other at 90 degrees off the front. It gives me 270+ degree sweep of light. I love it. Having all the lights straight on was a waste of several lights. The pilar lights just didn't add anything pointed straight. Just my two cents. Great jump! Awesome jeep!

[@pjvideo]

Taylor is a legend! Such an amazing rig!

[@outlaw9232]

Great looking rig! I don't even want to know the break down of costs for the mods. I'm struggling to just try and save for a winch and flat fenders. Baby steps..... Oh and yes...the trails in Ouray and Telluride, Colorado are amazing and bucket list worthy!

[@TrailRecon]

Baby steps is wright! I've been trying to cross things off my Jeep to-do list forever and after filming this video, it just got longer! Can't wait to get to Colorado!

[@hmongwild]

No words. But a badass rig.

[@dennisfossey4312]

Nice ride, probably only one i would be interested in. 👍👍

[@1joshbelanger]

anyone know what that black and yellow looking box to the right of his steering column was at 11:54?

[@freedomrider266]

Josh Belanger It looks like his hand went right to that device at frame 13:20 when he was talking about his ARB Air Lockers...So, maybe that? Otherwise, IDK.

[@HeadshotDC]

Love the jeep! Question: what’s the part name/number for the ball head that screws into the grip bar/handle, for the ram mount? The specific ball head that is essentially the screw to the handle. Thanks!

[@nunyabizness2411]

Its a 1 inch Ram Ball - I got mine from Carolina Metal Masters

[@jcollins2826]

I don’t think a Jeep can get better than this other than possibly a V8.

[@SJAYGAMES]

this is a dream build! Im getting a jeep now!

[@salvatorecorrao7497]

Does he have an upgraded alternator/battery combo with all of that extra electrical??

[@redquiring6687]

What blinkers and blinker covers are on this JK amazing by the way

[@TheRustAdmin]

Please make a video about independent suspension, and independent REAR suspension too :)

[@thesarge8488]

Great build, awesome video. Lots of ideas to think about, thanks for the walk around

[@TrailRecon]

My favorite thing about doing these videos is getting to take a look at what others have done and why... gives me lots of ideas. Thanks!

[@brandonjacksoon]

Beautiful jeep! Thanks for the video! Really cool :)

[@metro8731]

when you put the ripp super charger on how many miles you have on stock motor? im concerned about putting one on a mid to 80ish thousand miles wrangler

[@therealauga816]

Damn you guys are super close! I can see the holy Jim trail from my house!

[@tonygarcia9596]

I am 47 years old now... I am approaching retirement soon.. I've always admired jeeps... But this is one of the very best jeeps I've seen and when I buy a jeep I will walk on that road to achieve a jeep as sleek and yet rugged as this Iron Jeep you presented. It looks awsome. I would only ask one question. With some many jeep styles to buy, which model is this so I may purchase one to be to start the transformation as well. I hope someone can point me out to the right direction. Thank you for this KZbin post.👍👍👍👍👍

[@zschlecht08]

You plan on using that roof rack for a rooftop tent? Interesting route to go, given the website puts it's load rating at 264 pounds

[@TrailRecon]

264lbs is the dynamic weight, static weight is 800lbs. I have the same rack and it's perfect for my RTT.

[@zschlecht08]

TrailRecon oh no way?! I didn't see that on the website. That's pretty legit actually it's a sleek design. That's kind of surprising the roof itself is good up to that weight

[@HeadshotDC]

Can you list the specific model to the roof rack? And does it have the backbone installed? Can you get away without backbone system / drilling in the top? Thanks! Unfortunately, its hard to search the answers so if it was already answered, I apologize!

[@TrailRecon]

Here is a video I did of the roof rack a while back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXiqqauGnJiUrK8 The backbone is what give the rack it's strength, I would not put any weight up there without it.

[@Infantry4Life.WarFighters]

I have a fj cruiser, I like the light system.

[@iloanwolfgaming9710]

I love your videos, they have been an amazing help on my jeep build. If possible I'd like to get your decal to put on my jeep.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! I've got decals listed on my website: www.trailrecon.net/decals.html

[@AustinElwess]

Beautiful Jeep! I have a big question. When you're on a trail, with a big rock or something right under the rock sliders, is there a way to open the door without the running boards deploying onto the rock?

[@noelvazquez3371]

Austin Elwess I thought the same thing. I think you can have an off button to remove the power to stirrups believe that if you do not have it is an option for that situation that you're stuck to a rock.

[@chadbeebe2561]

The kit comes with a master on/off button to allow you to shut them off completely when wheeling.

[@quintonpearson382]

Hey TrailRecon, what is his rear axel that he has on that jeep? And does he have Recon Complete 2.5 12" coilovers on the front as well?

[@xplorefurther]

Does Automatic vs Manual make a different driving on Trail? Perhaps the most difficult Rubicon Trail?

[@ItAintJustPaint]

Love the Bauer hockey stick shift knob!

[@srkn100]

So much of his 401k contribution went into this 😀

[@jackrotter9434]

Whats the gas mileage on this 450hp beast? Asking for a friend... but definitely my dream Jeep JK.

[@chrismccarthy6813]

Count how many times the guy responds with “Of course”

[@MOTOWNN]

Just a flat out beautiful build!!!

[@TrailRecon]

Well said!

[@ocabj]

Where was this recorded?

[@truckerrickakamanowar]

Real nice build. Love these rig walk around videos. 👍

[@TrailRecon]

Really glad you enjoyed it! There was so much to talk about on this awesome Jeep and it was a lot of fun to film.

[@richardxue8277]

Are the fog lights can connect to oem fog light connector or they need to spice

[@michaeloloughlinsr.7809]

What’s the back seats look like? Overall off the hook Jeep great job great color personally I do a Cummins diesel better mileage no smog torque 400,000 miles

[@鄭聖朝]

whats the fenders brand? they look nice thanks
