[@henrikm4657]

That time lapse of the night sky is incredible!!! Gotta love Utah!

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thank you!

[@BeckiandChris]

Wow those campsites are perfection 😍😍 what a playground you guys have available. looked like a fun trip!

[@Montana_Outdoor_Adventures]

This was an outstanding video, I really enjoyed it. Thanks.

[@cccristol]

Just what I needed. Love the video.

[@jeffreybetts8014]

Great video, thanks

[@nathanklemm179]

Came for the Jeep ….and Utah! Endured the Bronco and happy to see you back in a Jeep! Just keep the consistent exploration videos coming and I’ll keep watching

[@JustinBMcBride]

Love it. Utah is the main character anyway.

[@t.o.f.t.s.]

So cool. Love the GFC setup.

[@jarekhoppe1070]

Looking forward to the RTX stuff! Thanks for all the sneak peaks.

[@bradcaviness1256]

Gotta love Rav4 drivers and 7-point turns. Sure you still don't miss the bronco nonetheless. Awesome video - the drone shots just keep getting better somehow!

[@ruben25900]

Man those are some grrrreat shots! I’ll be there in a few days. 😎

[@_intrepid]

God damn it that is an epic spot... Also, the Gladiator rocks!

[@onasledoverland]

Thanks Justin Windy McBride. And yes, too noisy for overlanding. Do love your vids. ❤

[@stephenharrison734]

Pretty awesome views!

[@stevetabor4447]

Great stuff guy’s much respect to all cool scenery great place for a extra air filter or two 😂 as always be safe 👍👍

[@toddsparks6900]

Love the videos! Sad the bronco is gone but the Gladiator is looking awesome. Will be down that area next month - excited to see some of where you were!

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thanks, any day now my brother should hear about his Bronco, once he has it, I’m going to force him to come out with me!

[@johnomahony7364]

That absolutely did look like a dinosaur skeleton sticking out of that hill. Amazing filming quality ..thanks for bringing us along.

[@draughonc]

Was parked where Justin was at the Overlook just 5 weeks ago in my Bronco. Roadtrip from Florida to Factory Butte was awesome.

[@JustinBMcBride]

Such a gem of a spot. Hopefully the wind wasn’t awful for you!

[@overlandgirl]

Hi What mike to you use for VO? with your GoPRo. Your sound is great. Thank you.

[@grandeoverland6787]

With locations and views like that, it just about makes it worth dealing with the wind. Great cinematography on this video.

[@JustinBMcBride]

This trip, yes. In the past, it’s too dangerous to be near edges like that. Gusts can top out around 70mph out there.

[@grandeoverland6787]

@@JustinBMcBride I certainly know the feeling in that area! Plus such things (dangerous situations) usually don't translate well over video.

[@JarradShaw]

Dash shots were still so great brother❤

[@karmicforce01]

Great video. Love JEEP content far more than the Bronco. I re subscribed!

[@JustinBMcBride]

Welcome back!

[@donmontalvo1]

Glad to see you in a proper overland vehicle again! Sifting through your Amazon list. Now that I moved to TX, there's so much more to get.

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thanks! I really do enjoy this truck!

[@chrishernandez2017]

you got the coolest drone and night time lapse shots!

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thanks!!!

[@barefootfotograf]

Epic location for camping 👌

[@explore_off_road]

That's definately a Dragons Back I'd say.... the hundred thousand dollar truck seemed to have made that little black car nervous! Hee hee hee

[@KJPG19]

dannggg!! im from TSTN. i knew it. you dope!

[@crossdissolve7649]

That last night shot was the bomb!

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thanks! One of the most difficult to capture is a night-to-day timelapse. I’m always tickled when others notice. Thank you.

[@slr9190]

That area at 19:22 is know as Skyline to the photography community here in the SW. Dig the route you guys took, and fun VDO, and it was windy when I was there. The wind blew so hard that I didnt sleep all night in my RoofNest. At one point I wondered if my Power Wagon would stay upright. LOL

[@joshleal9811]

Hey justin. Really cool video, I really like the new rig it just looks amazing. Maybe you should tint your windows so you can be more cooler inside while driving.

[@JustinBMcBride]

I haven’t had time. But I want to. I’ll only do the maximum allowed by Utah, because believe it or not, I’ve been pulled over for tint before.

[@brycef.3483]

Love the video as always! What sort of drone do you use to film your videos?

[@JustinBMcBride]

Mavic 3

[@zacharyfike1071]

Damn that Glad looks great buddy.

[@JustinBMcBride]

It’s amazing. I can’t believe I have it.

[@oz8799]

Awesome

[@DC-ok6bk]

At 15:20, don’t you love how the GoPro will disguise the off camber nature of that wash entry! All in all, I appreciate you complying with the CRAZY rules about drone usage, yet I support some sensible modernization

[@JustinBMcBride]

A lot has changed in south/central Utah over the last few years. I feel like a large portion of the areas I used to frequent are now wilderness areas. I support preservation and would much rather play by the rules than break them and be a bad example.

[@EvergreenOG]

Justin, u know your content is always fire…

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thank you!

[@JamilBuie]

That last time laps shot made me Jealous. An uninsured driver totaled my Unlimited in ‘21 and insurance paid me peanuts. Still reeling from the price of replacements but that shot reminded me why I got it in the first place. Damn I miss that Jeep.

[@timreynolds2935]

Great quality video. I love all your camera work. You'll probably hate hearing that I could watch your channel without audio. All I mean by that is excellent video. What cameras do you use?

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thanks. I actually have a second channel that is just scenery. I haven’t done much with it during these collaborative trips because there is always someone talking. But here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5immGZ3oZqDoNU I use the A7SIII

[@petralomas3030]

What kind of glasses are you using they look very cool

[@GladiatorUp]

Love the desert. love the forest as well. If only there were forest in the desert. But I guess that’s not gonna happen.

[@JustinBMcBride]

I’m pretty sure Sedona counts as a forest in the desert.

[@RickGallina]

The Astro time lapse shot is money man. I need to try that out. Anyway good stuff bro. GFC is a game changer

[@JustinBMcBride]

The GFC has taken my night/morning experience to a whole new level.

[@RickGallina]

@@JustinBMcBride can’t beat the breakfast views!

[@ryansutton1159]

How are you liking those Wildpeak R/T tires? Haven't seen any reviews yet.

[@Lcg503]

Sweet travels❤❤❤❤

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thanks!

[@DC-ok6bk]

Circle shot at 20:40 was perfect 🤩

[@JustinBMcBride]

That was Shaun piloting and I paired the audio from my camera on the tripod. It worked!

[@craigwojciechowski8322]

I’m just curious! Did you drop a video on how comfortable the mattress is in the GFC? Seems most folks modify it for comfort! Great videos! Thx!!

[@JustinBMcBride]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJWyf3qgarCpbrc

[@Venture2Roam]

lovely shots...and I for one, am glad you have a $100k truck to drive around on freshly grated roads. It's more fun to drive..but more fun to watch too.

[@JustinBMcBride]

Now my $100k truck needs to meet your $100k truck for some fun in the dirt!

[@Venture2Roam]

@@JustinBMcBride Indeed.

[@Natetprice94]

Hey Justin! What’s the handheld radio that you’re using? Love the channel btw. Makes me itch to get out there and drive!

[@JustinBMcBride]

It’s a Yaesu FT5DR. It’s ok. I have a radio to install, but I’m waiting for parts.

[@JohnLaFosse]

You guys can sure break the wind good.

[@JustinBMcBride]

Haha!

[@juliettebido7359]

So stoked I found your channel. Love your stuff man!

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thank you!!!

[@auduffer]

Justin, how was fuel economy on the trip?

[@HoglundOverland]

Epic video, enjoyed the trip I can't wait for the next video!

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thanks man! We’ll need to find a sliver of time to get out this summer!

[@ansleythestewart]

Fun stuff. When I was out there at the end of October, the wind almost slammed my M3 Cine into one of the sides of the butte, lol, and trying to recover it drained so much battery that as I was landing, it turned off. The wind out there is no joke for sure. BUT. The next time I go, I'm bringing my FPV, because that was my biggest regret. Some of the craziness potential with FPV footage has me salivating. Soon.

[@JustinBMcBride]

That wind can be BRUTAL! We were all very excited to see that the next morning was calm.

[@AKgrowngal]

1:32 Can you show more of your interior setup? Breakfast setup looks perfect!

[@JustinBMcBride]

Absolutely. Once I have the camper dialed in, I’ll do a full walk through and review on my second channel.

[@DBCoffroad]

Justin, what drone do you use? Those shots are amazing. Thanks!

[@JustinBMcBride]

DJI Mavic 3

[@JamiesCryin1]

Justin, do you have a Part 107 drone license?

[@Lethal_Venom]

Amazing trip Justin, you guys lucked out with the bridge crossing. That's so dumb that you cant film in national parks. I hope something can be done about that in time. Looking forward to the next video.

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thanks! Yes. The national park stuff is ridiculous. I was really hoping that it would be sorted out by now.

[@brianbrazeal]

I see all of you wen to the Decked System... I'm on the fence. I want more storage but I'm hesitant to lose all my bed storage. Any thoughts?

[@JustinBMcBride]

I like it so far. I got it as a way to raise my floor so I could use then ”desk” in the Go Fast better. Im still working on organizing it all, but so far it has been serving me well.

[@mattprince6858]

Why did you pick the GFC over other campers like the Super Pacific? Thanks

[@JustinBMcBride]

I have an existing relationship with GFC, there are a lot of great campers out there though.

[@redthunder1202]

Every time I've tried to camp there it's windy as well

[@JustinBMcBride]

It’s like I’ll try and the wind is hurricane force, then the next day I’ll see all my friends down there and it’s as calm as a Sunday in the park.

[@Electric_Overland]

When do we get a walk around? Pls don’t wait for it to be dialed in. It is progress we all go though. Let us see your progress. Ps thanks for the content. It was missed.

[@JustinBMcBride]

You mean like this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5LKXn14jtGfeKM

[@Sandy_Seats]

I'm sad the bronco thing didn't work out for you, man.

[@tyhoe]

What tent platform is the guy without the camper using?

[@JustinBMcBride]

That’s Casey. His channel is Casey250, I’m sure he has all the details in a video over there. He documented the build of his insane Jeep really well. 👍🏻

[@billj5645]

I've been to Utah when it was very windy in lots of places, I've also been to your last campsite when it wasn't windy. It just depends on how lucky you are. I've never camped at that spot though.

[@JustinBMcBride]

I feel like I’m the one with all the luck… the luck that gets the wind! 😂

Road tripped through Utah last year Capital Reef was very underrated in my opinion. Crazy that you can’t record videos in NPS, haven’t heard of that but will definitely sign any petition I can find regarding it.

[@19nash85]

You should get a Tacoma. Fits you better.

[@JustinBMcBride]

Like this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3qbhKmfq7Vjna8

[@laloolhouvum1634]

Justin, why don't you just get a long range fuel tank, a dual swing out on your rear bumper to mount the spare tyre and a couple Jerry can. No offense, alright? I'm just sharing my humble opinion, bro... Cheers.

[@JustinBMcBride]

Had a long range on my JL, it vented fumes into my cab, I’ll never do that again. Swing arms won’t work because then the Jeep won’t fit in my garage. No offense taken, I just have different needs. And the way I’ve built the Jeep is very dialed in.

[@LoLPaTCH101]

How does your gladiator ride compared to the bronco?

[@JustinBMcBride]

The Bronco’s IFS is better on road, but I was constantly lifting tires on trails. I haven’t had a tire in the air yet on the Gladiator.

[@toshibavoodoo]

great

[@JustinBMcBride]

Thanks!

[@dgj2661]

Do you typically ride in 4H or 2H on these roads?

[@JustinBMcBride]

2H unless I really need the traction.

[@BrickedASMR]

If I ever sell my comanche I will be buying a gladiator!

[@JustinBMcBride]

Oh! I’d NEVER EVER EVER fly a drone in a national park. I’m saying we can’t film at all in the parks. Not even so much as cell phone video. I’m totally ok with drones being off-limits. But not being able to run my GoPro on my dash is ridiculous.

[@laurenneufeld7107]

Tough thing for you is, I’m already following many overlanding sites who all have built gladiators. Like casey250 and tstn lol you’re white noise to me. I liked it when you ran the bronco
