40 Unique Vehicles from Overland Expo

[@wyattbassett8930]

glad you included the chevy Colorado. Those zr2 models are definitely under-rated with rear and front locking differentials off the lot.

[@cubkuker]

I just bought my first Jeep to get into overlanding and I’ve been waiting for this video ever since I followed your channel 2 weeks ago!

[@TrailRecon]

Right on and welcome to the channel!

[@cubkuker]

@@TrailRecon Thank you so much and thank you for what you do this is literally a life-changing lifestyle to get into it’s already something my family is really excited about!

[@BillSprague]

I’ve been looking at an Earthcruiser for full-timing and was happy to see that gentleman was doing just that. Thanks!

[@zeyadalmamoori4477]

It was pleasure to meet you Brad at the expo. Thank you for the advice you gave me about my jeep XJ. Hope we meet again :). Z

[@cj5376]

Gladiator bed replacement is sick

[@TrailRecon]

Agree!

[@djp1234]

I have a Gladiator with a Go Fast Camper. I love it. It's the most compact, light-weight and aerodynamic rooftop tent setup there is.

[@marlerusticgeek0075]

Cool expo Brad..TY 😀👍🏾. The Jeep Gladiators were my favorite over-landers:)

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! Some great looking JT's for sure at Expo this year!

[@hotel.colorado]

Thanks for the shout out on the Colorados, they are great little trucks. They are a good platform for overland builds 😊 glad yall had a good time. I absolutely love my Colorado

[@211Gus]

Does the way the spare tire sit ever get you hung up? It looks like it sits at such a strange angle.

[@hotel.colorado]

@@211Gus I have a Prinsu Roof rack and my tire is mounted up there along with Maxx traxx recovery boards. Yes it sits low on a stock colorado

[@onetwentyeight]

Not a big deal, but fwiw the next gen of 4runner will be the 6th, not 4th as you said. Neat video! Loved that r2.8 Scout.

[@TrailRecon]

oops, I got that one wrong... Tacoma would be 4th gen. Thank you!

[@stanfordbanks3399]

Great video brother... Really looking forward to good adventures with your sons driving all your builds...

[@andyham6094]

Thank you for showing some Toyotas. Wish you would cover and do more rig rundowns of more 4Runners, land cruisers, fj cruisers, tacomas, and tundras and sick built Toyotas in general. And he misspoke saying toyota is overdue for a 4th 4runner lol, the 5th gen is the one that’s been out for so long now, and he meant to say 6th gen 4runner but he gets a pass being a jeep guy lol

[@Jcoburn134]

Thanks for giving the shout out to to Colorado/Canyon. A lot of people don't give then credit but they really are awesome. I love my little diesel.

[@richardfoshee3244]

I went to a car show for Father's Day 2022 and I also saw an orange IH Scout! It was a very clean stock vehicle in that gorgeous sunburst orange.

[@Holden-McGroin]

You’re right about the Canyon/Colorado. We have 4 in our commercial fleet at work. A ‘15 w/400k and a ‘19 w/220k. Solid trucks!

[@femacampetiquettefordummie6979]

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to show us all of the vehicles and sights of OE 2022!!

[@2010gt1]

You mean 6th gen 4runner! Loved all these dope rigs man! Great vid bud

[@DavidNWallis]

took a course in college many moons ago, knife making, we use lawnmower blades and cable wire, coolest class I ever took.....like the new Bronco Raptor 3.0L

[@TrailRecon]

It was such a great experience, if only I had time for another hobby!

[@DavidNWallis]

@@TrailRecon we would use the wire cable for damascus knifes, heat it, pull it out, pound on it while twisting on it, and keep repeating till you got that look, lawnmower blades were easy the steel already is tempted the heat removes it, took this class in the industrial arts took some cool classes there took a printing course using the old presses and the type you did all by hand

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Great video. Would love to see more on the Gladiators. Cheers.

[@GATORADDAM]

That tan Ford van gets around. I met them at the southern expo a couple of months ago. Very cool rig.

[@Shadow56399]

Excellent video, this is the best format for showing the huge variety of builds. Personally disappointed there was no 200 series Land Cruisers shown, I think they are so cool

[@chrisridebike8]

Great vid. 16:28 I think you mean 6th Gen 4Runner. The Voodoo Blue 4Runner you showed is a 5th Gen.

[@TrailRecon]

Correct, misspoke on that, thanks.

[@danielmaybee68]

Marco's santoku cleaver is pretty sick!

[@charleshicks3492]

My favorite; the old classic Scout; oh hell one of each😎😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@andysolorzano4126]

Thanks for this video. I had plans to go with off road buddies but at the last minute, I was not able. Hoping to not only meet you Brad, but also get some ideas for my JL and light a fire under my friends to plan an overlanding trip soon. Looked like a lot of fun. Hopefully next year!

[@krokatoamonster7365]

great content! Earthroamer looks good, but too lux for me or anyone that rolls in my circles. I'm more of an 02 Taco, a cooler, a fishing pole, and some camping essentials. No matter how you get out there, just get out there!

[@soroush6788]

Thanks for videos I see your videos from IRAN. I really enjoy your videos and I like to Off-road with you someday.

[@thebrucechannel8061]

We were there and had a blast, lots of great people and awesome rigs & equipment.

[@jamesc2072]

Jim from Temecula man! Glad I was finally able to meet you in person bro! Although at the time I think you were getting hounded by several folks! I was so impressed all of the rigs during the expo! That wind was no joke lol

[@TrailRecon]

Glad we got to shake hands! That wind was serious on Friday!!

[@jamesc2072]

@@TrailRecon My dad was starstruck as I had introduced your channel to him after he finally converted his flip phone to a smart phone lol. Not sure if you remember him (wearing old school usmc cover) hat blew off that night, some dude found it (a Vet) and returned it on sat after seeing us walk around hahaha! He wanted to say thanks for all the inspiration and that my son is at bootcamp now. Would be awesome to tackle a local trail with you one day!

[@drivetheglobe]

Great meeting you Brad. Keep up the great content & safe travels.

[@preston_highwaycrawlers]

The Colorado or the new GMC Canyon AT4+ will be my wifes next vehicle and overland build. I'm glad you did mention them even tho it was at the end and just a quick snippet lol.. but I will be pairing hers with the MDC-USA overland trailer LX model for the full build so I can keep her rig light and capable for when it's needed.

[@BucksMom218]

Omg thank you! I needed this today. Listing my house…back breaking…🥴🤭

[@TrailRecon]

You are so welcome!

[@broughstewart7220]

It was great meeting you at the Expo! It was my first one and I had a great time! I also enjoyed this video and did see most of these vehicles while there! I have a Gladiator Mojave and plan to go on the Grand Canyon trip!

[@TrailRecon]

So glad we had the chance to connect!

[@mykalbee]

I'm sure you meant to say 6th gen 4runner since we are currently dealing with the rather long in the tooth 5th gen. Current speculators are saying 2024 model year however that's been the running joke for about 5 years now as its coming next year...yeah right. I would love to see your take on a 4runner if you were to build one out. I still in the process of building mine out and my current mod i just did this past weekend was the magnaflow overland exhaust. Spoiler alert it sounds great and it feels like there is a bit more pep imo. Great vid Brad, thanks.

[@TrailRecon]

Yep, I mixed up my 4runner and tacoma generations. Looking forward to seeing if they do something really new and exciting in 2024. Thanks!

[@timbrown7980]

We’re still waiting for Brads build video of that white Tacoma he bought for his E3 company!

[@shrubjr893]

I love my T4R with a Gofast on it! Although, I must admit I am SORELY tempted by the idea of a Gladiator with a GFC!

[@d.b.cooper]

I love my ninth generation Toyota 4Runner with 72 inch tires and a six cylinder nuclear power plant

[@tomd1939]

Right after 'ketchup' and 'mustard', you showed 'relish' lol...I'd choose that one for sure!

[@TrailRecon]

Oh ya, that little guys was sweet!

[@nicholai40]

Very nice. Vehicles I will never get to see. Love it.

[@bigtime6837]

Just ordered the new 2023 TRD sequoia !!!! Can’t wait to get it out after winter in Montana!!

[@anthonynespoli117]

Great video Brad. Keep them coming my friend!!

[@anthonynespoli117]

I sent a message back to that number. Thank you

[@patelliott39]

I am going next year this is just too cool. As a Jeep owner I also love the Toyotas + the Colorado - we don't have to pick sides! haha

[@bwofficial1776]

I dig the old stuff. That extended cab R2.8 Scout looked really nice. The imported trucks, and especially the Land Rover Forward Control, are really cool. I wish more people built G-Wagens and used them like they were originally intended to be used. I'd love to see more Unimogs in the US, would have been cool to see if there were any there.

[@willb3018]

Great video showing quite a variety. Thanks.

[@geo15304]

Your video camera quality is epic!

[@explrx4678]

Thanks for always going to these so we can live vicariously through your adventures. Hopefully we can make it next year after some shakedown runs on the LS swap in our backyard at Palo Duro.

[@nealjohnson1461]

So I thought maybe I had missed a whole section of the display vehicles at the Expo this year, because I was wanting to see more Jeeps or thinking there would be more Jeeps. Thank you for confirming that there were fewer this year. Another solid overview of the show. Thanks Brad!!

[@TrailRecon]

Ya, I was a little disappointed on the amount of Jeeps on display, I alway like to see the new stuff what companies and folks are doing to them.

[@chriskenmotsu9]

Pacific Northwest Overland Expo Bend Oregon in July? Maybe see you guys there?

[@TrailRecon]

We'll be there!

[@chriskenmotsu9]

@@TrailRecon Right on, yeah Jason he's on the eastern side of Oregon, I'm on the Pacific northwest coast of Oregon(Astoria)👍🤙👊

[@teletoby7742]

Loved the quick look at so many vehicles, brilliant format. Good job

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@turbojunki]

ursa minor is an awesome option. I love them.

[@LostSasquatch]

It was a pleasure to have you swing the hammer Brad! This will be a fun knife!

[@TrailRecon]

It was so much fun, thank you again and can't wait to see how the knife turns out!

[@brunnie]

Sure hope that Expo Mt West is just as good as this one looked to be. WOW... so many neat looking rigs, just overwhelming. Until next time... Travel safe.

[@TrailRecon]

Last year Mt. West was great event, but the Expo in Flagstaff is notably larger in terms of size and attendance.

[@catchtwentytwo643]

I was at the Expo and the 79 series was my favorite, many nice rigs there.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Some great set ups. Not sure what my favourite style is any more. 😂

[@benjaminraikany9184]

I love overhanding vehicles. I hope one day i do the same 😒. Thanks for sharing though

[@kb6lcw99]

Thanks for sharing your trip.

[@eitanutube12]

14:22 It’s a land rover… Enjoying following you

[@johnwahl7460]

Brad I’m must go with mustchup because mustard with out ketchup makes for a boring trip. I loved this video. Would you consider more length in your vids

[@cliffmorgan31]

Good coverage on the event, and great job on the video..,

[@TrailRecon]

Much appreciated!

[@thomasbranic]

Thank you, Brad! Great video!

[@TrailRecon]

Glad you liked it!

[@chrisran24]

Man, I think the Tundras look so much better when you chop off the chin and put a new bumper on it. Much better clearance.

[@chrisgardnerss]

Great video! Are you guys going to the East expo?

[@206Trail4R]

6th gen 4runner coming - you said 4th gen in the video - sorry to point it out - but you like jeeps so I had to point out that mistake as well as being a jeep owner lol 😂- love your videos as always

[@jonnewbury3482]

The new Rangers and Colorados look great and that’s coming from a Tacoma 3rd gen owner. Toyota definitely needs a refresh on the 4Runner and Tacoma. I’m bias but Tacoma’s are still the best looking mid size on and off the road. 😎

[@77AbleArcher]

I'm really hoping for an in depth look at that M715 Jeep Ambulance. I've always wanted to see one fully outfitted, they are so cool.

[@technicaldisasters]

What Bronco bumper can be seen at 4:30? I don’t mind relocating the front camera, but I’m not going to mess with safety systems like the adaptive cruise control. The bumper at 4:30 looks intriguing.

[@jonno1482]

I am also interested in this same bumper. I came to scour the comments to see if others noticed it and are asking about it too. Hook us up Brad! It would be great to get an entire video or write up of all of the Bronco bumpers that allow all of the tech to work, but I'm specifically interested in this one. Relocating the camera seems easy, but I've heard a lot of mixed reviews after folks have relocated the ACC sensor.

[@timberdogz]

Awesome tour...like your picks of the top vehicles....now I just need to make a decision!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you, it's always a lot of fun walking around and checking out the vehicles folks have built.

[@albertohuerta2411]

OMG that crossover!! 1:38

[@rgomez204]

Looks like sting gray is the color of the year

[@danderson101]

Thank you for the tour!

[@TrailRecon]

You bet!

[@chubbychernobyl445]

Any Frontier Pro 4x builds at the show? Thinking of buying one for overlanding. Great channel btw.

[@TheStarlitetraining]

Blue 4RUNNER is my pick!

[@farrukhelahiansari23farruk10]

Very good video I love over landing but I don’t have that much money to afford it but some day I will get it INSHA’ALLAH

[@jfarris21]

This was a very cool video thank you I love that Ford F550 but $800000 yeah that's a bit out of my price range

[@osnialmeida5511]

I love AEV. Tks Bread.

[@lwrcbcm8954]

Brad, Irsa Minor is king. 2 year wait , but worth it. Good call,. imho

[@DixieOverland]

You know there is only one way to get over the regret if getting rid of your Gladiator... 😉

[@TrailRecon]

LOL! Not anytime soon!

[@mixflip]

I love the tundra builds!!!!

[@gearlist]

Great walk through!

[@danepedersen6770]

Love the scout ii!

[@ndafarachaitezvi1139]

Great content as always

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@DanaBottomley]

I saw you filming the green Earth Roamer. Didn't want to bother you but I will next time I see you on trail. The campground was packed with great rigs of all shapes and sizes.

[@TrailRecon]

Oh man, next time! I love walking the campground, so many great folks and vehicles out there.

[@4babers07]

These are amazing.

[@johnwebb2232]

great video, but one of your comments is wrong, you had said toyota needs to come out with a 4th gen, it's actuly the 6th gen, 2024 it could be out, keep up the good work.

[@Redhead497]

Yes! Collab with Justin and Primal Outdoors!

[@TrailRecon]

If our schedules align, it should be a green light!

[@averageoutdoorsman9342]

4 runners are on gen 5 right now. Gen 6 is the next gen. Pretty cool vehicles.

[@stu_ut5181]

I love when I meet “Jeep Guys” who like Toyotas and can appreciate what they can do! Out of curiosity, I never saw an update on the E3 Overland Tacoma build you started a year and a half ago or so. What ever happened to that?

[@backwoodstherapy]

Too many car guys get caught up in the "my preferred brand is awesome, all others suck" nonsense. I drive a Jeep JL myself but love Broncos and 4Runners and Defenders and Tacomas and Colorados and all other off road trucks. We all share a hobby, we all love to get out in nature and appreciate it's beauty and the peace it has to offer, how you get there shouldn't matter, and anyone who subscribes to the "my brand is the only good brand" mindset can get bent.

[@lacyelliottoldmarinedad4388]

So cool you the man Semper Fi!

[@NigelNaughton]

@14:21....just a small slip of the tounge...It's a "Land Rover" not a "Land Cruiser"!!! How dare you! haha ;-)

[@iMuyanCODM]

I though 79 series landcruiser are banned in the US?

[@avonrastonar]

Geez I wish we had this type of thing here in New Zealand I love me a good vehicle build Great video brother Brad🤙🏽

[@UncleT0ny]

Mall Crawl mode sounds insane

[@thomas1942]

I wonder if we'll see the upcoming INEOS Grenadier at next years Expo. It might take an additional year before people that will modify and actually use them get their hands on them.

[@JeepBro]

Nice looking rigs out there! Wish I went! I also have a question. Is it better to stiff up your Jeep suspension for the street or have a little play in it for off-road and street use? What’s your opinion on that?

[@TrailRecon]

It's honestly a balancing act and depends on many factors. Getting some adjustable shocks helps with making adjustments.

[@JeepBro]

Ah ok. I have some Fox 2.0 shocks on my 98 TJ. Looks like I’ll be learning to adjust my shocks then.

[@timshapleyadventures]

Quick question: what kind of bumper and sliders were on the Power Wagon? I’m building an 2022 F450 and I’m not finding a ton of options

[@garretlewis4103]

As a Colorado owner, the after market support can be a little bit of a challenge. There isn’t as much as for some of the other vehicles.

[@BottleJackBuddy]

Love it!

[@ron343]

Hi Brad do you see many 4x4 International trucks there were a lot of them In Maine back in the late 70s . The problem with them was they were rust buckets

[@TrailRecon]

They are great trucks, but a rare sighting these days.

[@overlandfam4032]

The Swiss Ambulance was a 1964 LAND ROVER.

[@montyjcm]

Any info on those vortex generators or are the custom made around the 2:15 mark? Pretty smart

[@carlosnsosa99]

Love these builds

[@mycocoaone]

I got my jeep 4 door rubicon today!

[@backwoodstherapy]

I wish I lived out west where overlanding and camping on public land was legal. I live in TN where they just made camping on public land (outside of designated camp sites) illegal. And trails around here are sparse. Still, I love the videos and love your vibe. I hope that maybe one day I'll be out west and could hit a trail with you in my own JL.

[@TrailRecon]

Oh man, no camping on public lands... that's a horrible law! Hope you can make it out this way, lots of great places to explore.

[@backwoodstherapy]

@@TrailRecon me too, it's just a three day drive to SoCal from Tennessee. My dad lives up in Palm Springs, but I usually fly out there when I come see him.

[@rekaksky]

Hope I can make it next year!
