This is the first time I’ve ever heard any jeeper mention Georgia. I’m from Georgia and there are hardly any trails here. I only know of 5 decent trails in the whole state. But you are definitely right on the clay. All of the trails in Georgia are rocks,roots, and mud.

Your videos are very helpful and entertaining to watch. As a 4Runner owner this is one of my favorite channels. I think you bring an honest perspective which hasn't changed since day 1. I think there are too many other channels out there that are copycats, me too's, trying to capitalize on this "overland" fab that are pushing products, giveaways, and selling themselves out to sponsors. Aka a certain 4Runner owner that rambles on too much, constantly pushing and advertising products, and talks more about adventures than going on them. I never got that vibe from you. I can tell you do this channel because its a passion of yours. Keep up the good work Brad!!!

I like your mods, good video. Just want to say I put an Airaid cold intake and a throttle plate on my wrangler. No moving parts, nothing to fail. I combined that with the Magnaflow exhaust and it really woke the motor up. Not loud but, you can tell when you push the pedal on the right.

You should reach out to Shane at Genesis Off-Road. We installed their dual battery system before our cross country overland trip (10,000+ miles) this past summer. It saved us when the primary battery would not start the Jeep in a fairly remote location. The system connected the two batteries together and we were back on the trail. If you overland at all, this type of system should be a must if your Jeep includes auxiliary lights, etc.

Hey brother! I don't know if anybody mentioned it to you yet but...Fox makes adjustable external reservoirs for your shocks. I run them on my desert racer. It is really handy to be able to stiffen them up if I have a passenger/extra fuel, etc. or soften them for the sand at Glamis. Check with your Fox shock guy. ISC(PJ), out.

Brad you should really try the bf Goodrich km3 mud terrain. I had the km2 on my 2012 and I loved them. So this time with my unlimited I went with a 3.5 aev lift with 35 inch km3 which I love. The km3 is quieter and more responsive than the km2 and bf Goodrich puts out a quality product. I also went with a 4.56 gear ratio in this one and it’s awesome! A perfect setup for me. But I would definitely check out the km3 because my Jeep is my daily driver as well and I love them.

I must be old School, but I go to the the motor FIRST!, then work back to the transmission, then drivetrain! I started out driving Offroad VW’s to learn how to drive a short wheelbase vehicle,then worked upped to a 4WD! If you know how to drive, then no matter what you have ,either 4WD or not, you know what your vehicle can do. I can’t wait for the responses on this comment!!!

Vitamin B ,apparently you are missing my opinion! I am old school, by building my drivetrain myself, I know what my engine & drivetrain is capable of doing and what it is not. The newer Jeep engines have only a 4.3 Liter V-6! By adding bigger tires ,& additional weight you are putting a strain on that tiny stock engine as well as the drivetrain!

Vitamin B ,your true maturity is showing.Anyone can just add “Accessories “,ie., lights,lift kit,winch, etc. But in the end you still have a STOCK V-6 powering all that extra weight and yourself!

Vitamin B ,it is still a stock V-6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What part of that equation,don’t you comprehend??? You can not add all this extra WEIGHT,ie, tires,lift,extra suspension,lights,etc................. And still expects he same PERFORMANCE!!! Do you want me to draw it on for you in CRAYON!!!

Vitamin B , as I said before your true maturity is being shown in your response to my opinion. These little stock V-6’s can barely pull themselves,let alone the weight that people like you put In & on them. I would be curious about the GTVW of a STOCK late model Jeep........................... And judging by your lack of knowledge, you are between 28-39! I can probably guess, but I don’t believe you took Auto-Shop in High School ?!? You would rather buy it, then build it!!!

I am looking to get a new Rubicon and using it as my daily driver. I am pondering getting a second set of wheels/tires just for commuting. Is there any drawback to that other than the cost of the second wheel set?

So Brad, a while back you put on some teraflex brake line anchors. I remember informing you of my experiences with them, in that they limited my flex. Did you have the same thing happen? Did you take them back off?
