5 Jeep Wrangler Overland Camp Setups

[@twoedgedswordfreeofdark5545]

Miss the old days..... Keep Jesus first in your life, thank you for ALLOWING us to tag along. GOD Bless you brother!!!

[@steevoridgeline]

Quit feeling guilty about your own setup. Don't have to be always better than others... your setup is great ! have fun ! thanks for the channel, I love it. Be proud of yourself, because what you do is awesome.

[@LigerTigerOP]

How can 29 people dislike this video. They're just jealous of these guys. Thank you for the video.

[@TrailRecon]

Can't please everyone! Thanks!

[@LeaRama]

Wow! So many options! I’m glad you took us around to all the set ups your friends use (I’m also really glad they were cool with it). Thanks!!!

[@Brandon-0028]

I happen to like the fact that your Jeep seems like it could be used day to day, in addition to overlanding. For newcomers it could be pretty overwhelming trying to figure out everything you need when you see these completely built out rigs. Great video!

[@travisdeclan1701]

I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

[@leonardcody6967]

@Travis Declan Instablaster ;)

[@travisdeclan1701]

@Leonard Cody I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@travisdeclan1701]

@Leonard Cody It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account!

[@leonardcody6967]

@Travis Declan Glad I could help =)

[@williamdykes2750]

Brad, I'm not an overlander. I kayak camp occasionally. I stumbled on your channel a week or two ago and I find what you guys are doing fascinating. Here is what I like best about your channel...you answer a lot of questions from people who are enthusiasts. Good on ya.

[@alexanderweaver9182]

I like ALL of the Jeep mods! Any changes that enhance your enjoyment of excursions is a good mod. My brother lives in Lake Arrowhead and the hiking trails are incredible. I miss the San Bernardino Mountains.

[@joshuapbz350]

Although i don't have that kind of hobby but watching living your dreams for me is fulfilling and i enjoyed it too much! be safe everyone.

[@jonathonpuckett2185]

Talking about removing seats, I have removed my rear seats out of my jku, but also removed the passenger and turned it into a dog platform which keep my pup comfortable when on trips, creating even more space underneath the platform itself, and it even triples as an in Jeep sleeping space!

[@BennyTygohome]

In my 04 TJ I'd take out the back bench and replace it with a plastic bin to hold gear, spare parts, tools, etc. Then I'd bring a cooler with ice to hold water bottles and lunch. My trail rides were only one day at most so no camping gear. But when I get my jl 2dr I plan to do some camping. My friend has a JK 4 door and we plan to do trails and also research some camping gear and tents. This was a great vid! thanks

[@xskyxfox]

You do everything I would dream of doing too my Jeep, I'm Soo googly eyes over your set up

[@davidsimmons9720]

you have a terrific setup...... enjoy it and stop wanting more.

[@stuartneal700]

Thanks!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much!!

[@bradroberts6447]

Good idea to share. We can pick up ideas that we like, and pass on those that we don't. Thank you.

[@craigwoolbert2443]

always positive and optimistic. Way to go Brad! Great stuff.

[@Gee-Wizz]

My vote goes to Jeep #3, nice setup. Enough stuff but not too much.

[@rumrunner1698]

Took a TJ out for a test drive today (first time driving a Jeep) & I am HOOKED to say the least. I cannot wait to get out and hit the trails. Totally dig the ideas I’m getting here. I’ll be broke in no time..

[@ricki7187]

I can't be the only guy overlanding a 2 door JK. I'd love to see others!

[@Maxbps88]

Awesome. Loved the Video. I am planning a road life and love the idea of converting an ambulance. But...my first 'car' was a '78 CJ 7 304 v8 Levi (Jeans) Edition. I LOVED that JEEP. So, I am determining whether I want to do the 4x4 Ambulance or Jeep Full Time conversion. This video was, even though it is camping vs Full Time, still extremely helpful. Thank You!

[@twotwentyswift]

That Ursa Minor tent looks like a great system so I checked it out. Holy shizz! $7,000 to $14,000 for a pop-up tent is just mind boggling!

[@ziekezang]

I thought the same thing

[@actontreadway1168]

yeah. wow. I was really considering it until I saw the price. long term, maybe

[@makatron]

Yeah there isn't even 2k in materials and labor in them. But overlanding is kind of a niche hobby and people are willing to spend the money.

[@mycocoaone]

I would l8ve the Ursa but again not in my price range.

[@promaster185]

This was an AWESOME video!!!!!!!!!!! Shows what everyone is actually using and some of the choices that you can have depending on what you do the most.

[@grantmsi6931]

Why is my heart beating fast watching this? Man!

[@DanDryfhout]

Hey Brad. I am in the same boat regarding the rear seats. I think what I will try to do for my setup is a plywood plate in the very back, with the fridge on the one side and a cabinet on the other. Then I'm thinking of putting in a notch of some kind on the side towards the rear seats so I can have a removable plate that will sit on top of the rear seats when folded. I'm a fan of sleeping in my Jeep as I'm RTTless right now.

[@jldfishing6622]

You can use the 4 inch PVC pipe as a water container and you can mount on top of your Jeep down down the side of the roof rack if you paint it black it will heat the water and you can put Tire valve on it pressure into it look it up on KZbin is a bunch of videos

[@Jimboyrulez]

I love that orange tent ! It’s big , it looks cool, and it’s orange !!

[@KiannaAngelo]

Though you posted 2 years ago know this video is inspiring! Just got my jeep yesterday we are bare minimum at this point nothing in it so far. I found your video perfect because my hubby who is a super nerd and my self who takes comfort in gadgets is super stoked to add to our jeep. Looking forward to hard core camping again! Thank you for the tips I have shared this vid with the hubby, I also hit the subscribe button and will be referring to your vids quite often. Tell your crew amazing layouts and gear for their rigs, keep up the positive inspiration! much

[@williambeasley2582]

We use pvc pipe for water for our dogs and yes we drink it too lol so many cool uses

[@jeffreid3341]

I like how the tent has an opening to the jeep. That way you can regulate the tent temperature with the jeeps heater/ac

[@rpowell138]

Awesome setups. Great looking, and functioning, vehicles.

[@maximusplanet267]

Love the walkthroughs... went camping with my 7 yr old son for the first time this past weekend, straight up simple tent. Was the 1st of many more hopefully, and from this point I’m gonna build on to an overland set like the ones in you vid... keep the vids coming, so helpful for direction in my build!!!!

[@chaddott]

I have to say thank you for sharing this video. I am a newcomer to camping with my jeep and this was very educational.

[@TrailRecon]

Really glad you found it informative, thank you!

[@mia2113mark]

Another awesome video. Always nice to see other rigs and setups. Some good ideas for my JK. Thanks for taking the time to put this together mate.

[@peteacevedo3411]

Brad I just started following you after watching a video you recorded in Colorado last. Since moving to Florrisant Colorado last year from San Diego California I brought our stock 2014 Jeep Wrangler and really appreciate all the gear and upgrades you guys have done. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@Slogdawg]

Love all of your vids you post! RL has kept me from enjoying the off road lifestyle for too long and am looking forward to enjoying it again. The information you provide has greatly shortened the leaning curve for me to catch up to what is current and what was not possible when I previously enjoyed getting away from the day-to-day rat race. Thank you so very much! P.S. Our parents had a good choice in naming their sons.....

[@Slogdawg]

My first name is also Brad. haha!

[@Oliver-jg1qg]

I don’t even have a jeep but my dream car is a jeep

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

I have not posted any pics on instagram yet, we have 2.5 large breed dogs as kids who camp with us. I recently took the seats out of the back, too many issues for dogs to mention with it folded down. But I built a flat spot where the seat used to be, similar to the goose gear stuff. Since I know you build stuff yourself, it is an easy build. Not taking away from goose gear, their stuff is awesome, I just can't afford it. I do have the vector offload mount. Fun way to carry stuff, GPS Phone, etc. That tent that folds downside the hard top, really intrigues me, that is a good looking way to make the jeep a good camper with out giving up the drivability into the garage. I have a friend who had to take his roof rack off because he can't park his jeep or anything in the driveway overnight. (HOA) but that is a nice option for folks who may have that problem. I love Markos, pressurized water set up, that is cool. I get taking out the rear seat, I have been debating it for over a year now, Bam, I love that its gone. IN the past year, not one person has ridden in the back, good enough for me to realize, I don't need it. it gives you so much more useable room taking it out. Thanks for sharing my friend and have a blessed week. Dale

[@hooptybug]

I went the cheap route and made my own version of the goose gear plate and cubby system. Came out great.

[@javierdario3784]

I think you should do what the first jeep has with some play wood and line x for 3 reasons: 1- you will have a lot more space 2- you will same some money 3-you can customize it to your needs

[@abdokallab5996]

Great video! Got inspired... the best videos are just randomly walking around and explaining!!

[@swarbrickjesse]

You're right... it was really cool of you to show us these rig setups!

[@exrhodie1234]

I thought I'd watched all your videos but missed this one. Great job! Wow, that's a serious sized coffee mug Brad. Good to watch in these scary times.

[@alberquitoelmosquito2959]

Awesome video man just got my wrangler couple months ago and im super excited to get her all the camping gear!!

[@TrailRecon]

Congrats on the new Jeep!

[@louiskudlak2241]

I love seeing other people’s set ups 👍👍

[@Topo42mh]

Great setups... Always nice to see some diy stuff

[@twosiciliansisters5747]

Kids all grown have couple poodles that I like to travel with but I want to work out a plan for overland idea with dogs

[@idahoshortsaleking]

Thank you so much for all your amazing videos. They are both inspirational and idea driven for folks like me who want to do some customization but not go all-out. Thank you.

[@lloyddsouza4544]

This channel is exactly what I was looking for. Just great content. Subscribed!

[@410Expedition]

DAMN IT! Now, I have to make some changes, AGAIN, to my rig, Thanks Brad for the great video/inspiration.

[@OVRLNDX]

haha!! Cappy!! go for it!

[@lopez12345ml]

Your addicted it’s never going to be enough

[@AWalkOnDirt]

As a hiker, I have zero interest off-road. However, I have tons of interest in the camping setups. In 3 weeks, I am attending a hikers gathering where we base camp for a few days. I would love a Jeep camp setup.

[@RyanMarcyesOutdoors]

Very Cool, I dig the “off the cuff” clip, Keep Up The Fire & Live-Life-Loud!!!

[@edcrewguy]

NY here. You are living the dream my man. Awesome video!

[@davidnilles3117]

Great video. So helpful. Really enjoy your channel!

[@H.pylori]

Thanks for sharing. Nice to see what can be done. You guys put my little 2-door JK to shame. But it is all that I can afford and I really like it. Your videos are just a pleasure to watch. This is why I subscribed a long time ago.

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks! You don't need all this stuff to have a great time out on the trail, just the basics are all you really need. I've seen some really nice setup 2 doors that are very budget friendly and functional.

[@TASCOM44]

No shame in not being able to afford that stuff! I can only afford an XJ at the moment but I love taking it out and working with what I have to get outside and on the trails. Like Brad said, all you really need are the basics

[@rogue109]

I have a 4 door JK with the root top tent and fridge on a slider in the back, the Terraflex cargo shelf, all the stuff. But I miss my 2012 2 door JK Rubicon. It was so nimble and easy to off road with compared to my 2016 JKU Rubicon I have now. It used to be just me and my dog and my little Jeep and we went everywhere. A ground tent wasn't comfortable, but it was small and easy. I didn't have the fancy fridge but my sandwich fixings were awesome at the time. I guess I mostly just miss my dog. Shit...I had a point here but now I just miss my dog.

[@ericwiltse8054]

Excellent video, great ideas. Goose gear and Ursa minor.

[@shawnhudson7570]

We had similar reroute 2 weekends ago. Went up 395 to fish bishop and it was 108 outside. Made a last minute adjustment and found the last available site at Sherwin Creek in Mammoth where it was 85 degrees

[@Airkoay]

Brad, you can build a platform for your fridge but make the platform 3-4" higher so you can still access the bottom storage area. Should have enough room for your fridge before making contact to your vector platform. Plus you can easily get a foldable table size to fit under the platform. I just finished building mine and looking to build the fridge slide next. Cheers and thanks for sharing this vid. Other than Marco's Jeep setup (which is beyond awesome), I like the idea of the third Jeep with that platform conversion into a table:)

[@TrailRecon]

Great suggestion, sounds like a nice setup.

[@mrmoney3334]

Can you use the overlander tent with a soft top jeep? Wondering if I should go to hardtop because I want a top of the jeep tents . Love them.

[@scottwiggins3637]

Heck yeah! Beautiful rigs.

[@TrailRecon]

You can say that again! These guys have put a lot of working into building some awesome overland jeeps!

[@backyard.offgrid]

Some great ideas I like to explore with my Jeep. Thanks TR!

[@trekman51]

Great video, i was busy writing ideas down and am pumped to investigate some ideas you gave me. Thank you!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful for you.

[@itsbcook]

man those Ursa tents look pretty awesome

[@michaeldurling793]

Another hit Brad, I love seeing what others are doing for utility and gear for camping out of their Jeeps. I have a 2 door so my space is even more limited. I really want to build an off road trailer with a RTT, my stays are usually more than just overnight so base camp and the jeep unencumbered to go exploring during the day and back to base camp for the night. Keep them coming man, enjoying the content.

[@davidknutson3977]

Wow! Just found you. Great site!!! I have a 2009 Rubicon and am looking for places in Minnesota to ride. Nothing worthy yet, but I am discovering more the farther I go out from Mpls. Keep up the fun reporting! I love it. Dave.

[@TrailRecon]

Welcome to the channel and thank you!

[@wadelewis1478]

Hi Brad liking the videos mate I just thought I should say about those roto packs next to your fridge mate I’d leave a bit more room to let your fridge breath. Having stuff so close to it would be using more power as your fridge can’t breath and u run the risk of cooking your fridge 👍🏼

[@TrailRecon]

You are absolutely correct, that's something I need to sort out. Thank you!

[@TASCOM44]

Do you ever see any XJs in your overlanding groups? I see a lot of JKUs but it might be interesting to get a rig walkthrough of an XJ if you get the chance.

[@nestorvirgiliomoreira7846]

Mais um excelente vídeo, já estou fazendo minhas aventuras aqui no Brasil com o meu jeep wilys cj5 1969.

[@heifner1063]

I did the goose gear 60% and love it still have 3 seats and a 100% flat sleeping platform with storage underneath.

[@noahrodeghiero9640]

I went to julian last sunday and got a pie as well. The best part of any jeep is the patches

[@TrailRecon]

Gotta get pie when in Julian!

[@marlerusticgeek0075]

Enjoyed seeing all the cool rigs and overland setups👍🏾

[@markcatizone2011]

Very very useful. Please more like this.

[@TrailRecon]

I hope to do more videos like this! Thanks!

[@markcatizone2011]

TrailRecon could I ask you to ask Marco if the length of his tent impacts his ability to use his freedom panels.

[@Im_zacc]

This video just made me 100% on a setup.. I’ll be living out of my Jeep full time and am very much looking forward to my build round 2!

[@darrylb4048]

I like it all!! HOWEVER, think about this. Make your own from click to bang. I think that you could make a great system yourself and have a great few vids from the process of constructing it. All you need is to get together with some folks with the skills needed and your ideas. After all, just buying market stuff is so run of the mill, isnt it? Love your vids. From Victoria, BC, Ciao

[@sureenough411]

ive had man goals and dreams in my life...now for some reason all my wants and needs are focused on getting a jeep and getting it overland ready...

[@tehshins]

So many great tricks, thanks so much for posting this!

[@joeframo3347]

Hey Brad I want on Amazon I'm up over $1,000 now I'm getting to the $2,000 mark wow this is really cool but I can't get that little refrigerator it's discontinued I love that refrigerator you have you keep all your vegetables nice and cool are they stop making it or something Amazon's not supporting it

[@theonerob8870]

My favorite video yet.

[@famousmidnight]

The third seat is very cool.

[@bryanperry4557]

Great vid...!!!! I would like to know what are the name of the 2 black camping chairs at the side of Marco's jeep?

[@edgarontiveros114]

Cool jeeps, i liked the one with the round type awning.

[@dntfakethefunk]

I’m not sure if you’ve done a review of what you carry in your first aid kit, but I think that would be pretty cool!

[@himanshumange]

Hey love from india ! Just love your videos! Keep camping 🏕

[@russellcriswell2398]

Do you have to tap on everything you see and go on to the next thing and fondle with that as well ??

[@GabrielintheDark]

Great video!!! Love these walk arounds, whether the owner talks or not. Great video quality too.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@andrewdavisca]

Thank you... Very informative. Great Video. Shout out from British Columbia, Canada

[@RolandtheThompsonGunner]

Very nice rigs even though I'm a Grand Cherokee guy. One thing I want to mention since the Jeep is your vehicle, your home at times, and your lifeline and for those reasons I would not use a grill near my vehicle. Personally, I prefer to take my grill away from my Jeep and have a designated cooking section.

[@alexpineda3422]

What is the risk?

[@مصطفىالهليم]

اعجبني جدن😍😍😍😍😍😘😗😘😍😘😗😗😘😍😘😗😘😍😘😗😘😍😘😗😍😍😘😗😘😍😘😗😗😘😍😍😗😗😘😍😘😗

[@rogue109]

I loved this video! I also, probably like most people, love to see what others are doing to organize their stuff and make life easier on the trail. So thank you for sharing this and do more of these types of videos whenever the chance arises! I love seeing all the options and products!

[@BackroadExploration]

So many awesome ideas for our Jeep and overland adventuress

[@TrailRecon]

I love nosing around other folks vehicles to see what they've done... always some good ideas out there that I haven't thought of.

[@phantumdrummer]

I've been looking at the Goose Gear deck for some time now, but I think we are kinda in the same boat. As the cheapskate in me says that I can build that myself for a lot less. I'm single and always just leave my seats folded down anyway, so losing the rear seats is no big deal. Lastly, I like where you mounted the fire extinguisher above the rear door. As I've been wanting to find a better location other than the normal rear rollbar location. Putting it over the rear door is a great idea.

[@TrailRecon]

I like the idea of the DIY plate system, but I don't have the carpentry skills to make it look as good as the goose gear setup.

[@phantumdrummer]

TrailRecon Agreed, neither do I! That is the one of the biggest hold up's I have with doing it.

[@bearflagrevolt8632]

bills wheels!!!!!!!!!! nice patch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LenSilvester]

Great rigs Brad!! One thing in common with all these set-ups is a power supply centre in the back end for fridges, lights, battery charging, etc. Could you do a video of how they are doing this? Are they running 4g wire from engine battery then to a fuse block and powering up to each switch-accessory through smaller fuses?

[@TrailRecon]

I really should have done a video when we did it, but it was kind of one of those spontaneous things... "hey, lets put a power panel back here." I ran it straight to my spod. Maybe I can reconstruct it in a future video. Thanks!

[@timtoby7975]

I could use this info too Brad. Thanks for all you do. Also curious as to the gauge of wire for what accessories and how many amps. thanks

[@joeengland6378]

marcos jeep is seriously cool.

[@djcampbell2808]

Awesome site. I've been following britelite and trail recon for awhile now. I just subscribed, just realized I hadn't, I'd watch 1 vidio then another ect. So now I'm subscribed. Great site with valuable info. I just got a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4 l automatic ( Im a disabled retired LEO and Veteran age 64 so had to get the auto) and it has 64k original miles, 33 inch tires, bbk 62 mm throttle body, 410 gearing and the only rust underneath was the exhaust. I'm going to get a stainless steel Banks header, magnaflow stainless y connect with free flow cat and a Banks monster cat back stainless steel exhaust. Also the Banks ram air induction. If I saw yours and Britelite I would have got the JL. But I'm going to set this up first and may just keep it. This is my 64th vehicle first Jeep and 6th 4x4 . I've had 16 motorcycles, the last 3 strikes and 1 sidecar set up before the trikes. My Trike is in garage and will be sold soon. It's difficult to strap a Walker on a trike. It was time to go back to 4 wheels and definately a convertible. Happy trails. If you come to the Daytona Bch rally I might just be there. Again great site thanks

[@joshuawaters151]

Hey Brad can you take your fron tops off with your roof rack and tent attached?

[@mikemartinez1885]

Cool stuff.. Looks like lots of fun, dude..!!

[@roy123rivera]

Its been less than a week since i found your channel and i am amazed, i need my very own jeep, nice work....

[@TrailRecon]

Welcome and glad you are enjoying the content!

[@hotmasked1]

Excllent we look forward to future and owning a jeep with all the gear etc, what type of tires do you have

[@sonyppl]

Wish I had something like this when I went to Lake Isabella earlier this month. 🙌🏻

[@jonathanEricStaffordRealtor]

Have Ursa Minor love it but its so expensive and you can’t not take it off easily....solar battery banks do any of you have them or use them

[@frankmartin806]

Very nice rigs
