Is this Jeep Wrangler Build Going in the Right Direction?
Do you ever just hang out in the garage and stare at your vehicle and contemplate what upgrades you want to do or don’t want to do, what you love about the vehicle and what you don’t? Well, I admittedly have sat in my garage with a cup of coffee thinking those same things more times than I can count. So today, I thought I’d share what’s going in on my head about the Jeep Wrangler, bring you up to speed on everything that I’ve done, talk about some of the things I’m actually planning on not doing and some things I’ve got in store.

I actually like the Trail Recon on the hood myself. And with the gold/bronze outline it helps tie the wheel color in. But that’s just me of course.
I thought the same, would look super clean like that
Yeah that would be great!
It's your brand brother, you really should do it and in the bronze it will really bring it all together as @David pointed out
Great video Brad. Yes, I have definately spent my fair share of time in the garage looking at my 2021 Willys JL...and contemplate on what to do to transform it into the jeep in my dreams :) I have been watching your channel for years and enjoy watching how you transform your Jeeps into some great on & off-road rigs. Stay Safe & keep up the great videos!
Nice modifications. You know your Jeeps and what mods can and will make them better.
Great video, I love this type of conversation and it's really cool to hear some insight on how others go through the decision making process. One thing to note- if you plan to charge only batteries (go pro, laptop, camera), you really shouldn't need an inverter since it's originating and terminating in DC, you'd just be losing power converting back and forth.
Love hearing the thought process of a thoughtful person. Just had my 3.6 L Rubicon delivered - I'll try the contemplative process in deciding what kinda build to go for. And can't wait to see what rear bumper you go with Brad, looks like you have those parking sensors to negotiate. Awesome video!
Thank you and congrats on the new Jeep! No worries with the parking sensors, there are a few manufactures out there that design bumpers to accommodate them.
I LOVE the 392, I had a Scat Pack Challenger for 3 years so I know what kinda smiles that engine can create. Keep it up love it!
Love those Scat Package Challengers!
I'm really loving the look of this Jeep
that exhaust sounds great
I do like this Jeep, Brad. Thanks for passing on your knowledge and enthusiasm….it’s contagious!😋😎🥾🥾
Thank you!
Great video Brad! I’m enjoying your thought process of the 392 build out and am looking forward to what’s ahead. Love the channel and I’ve learned a ton from watching your videos. Thanks again!
Thank you so much and more to come!
Amen brother!
Really appreciate hearing your thought process behind your decisions. Thanks Brad!
I appreciate that!

I agree with most of your choices and views on this video! I’m a fan of “de-badging” as sometimes less is more! Keeping it simple and clean with the lights is also a nice look. 9:20-In the next video, TrailRecon installs an Ursa Minor tent!! 🤣🤣 Cheers!
I like keeping my battery portable. When I need to bring power to a situation it's just so easy.
I like moving all decals. I would leave the 392 too but I’ve done that on all my cars / trucks for you.
Looks great! I was considering those KC Flex Era 4's myself. Love your build so far and enjoyed the video. Thanks, Brad.
Thanks 👍
@@TrailRecon Were they easy to install and possibly hard to remove on the Mopar bumper? I'd considering doing the same but wouldn't want them to get stolen in the city. Looks good!
Hey Brad, I think you should put the Trailrecon decal on the hood... maybe tri-color incorporating the bronze/black/red.... it's your "Brand"! 😁 I think it's awesome you went with the Canadian Kracken air system. And the storage space gain from removing the rear seats is something I have been contemplating with my JKU. Always enjoy your videos and the explanations on why you do what you do! 👍🇨🇦👍
A place for everything and everything in its place, as my late grandmother used to say.
I LOVE my Ursa Minor. Had mine about 4 yrs now and used it throughout Europe. About to kick off a year long route around the US and my UM will make that a more pleasant experience.
Great to hear, thank you for sharing!
It’s awesome the way it sits.
Thank you, I'm pretty happy with it, but still a few minor tweaks I'm planning on making.
Just add an inverter to your starter battery, then plug in the portable battery bank into that. If portable bank has an app, can set and charge at a faster rate that through the 12v socket and won’t have to worry about mounting a solar panel. A Renogy 1000W pure sign wave inveter comes with a remote switch so you take toggle the charging of the battery bank on/off so it’s only charging when you are driving and need to charge the battery bank.
Great insight as to your thought process about changes/upgrades. Like you, I've stared at my Xterra and "imagineered" several possible changes. Right now I am working on redoing my fridge setup and you've just given me an idea that I hadn't even thought of which is keep the fridge at the height it is and put the storage drawer above it. DUH!! Although I have an auxiliary battery setup for the fridge, I'm looking at replacing the setup with a Redarc charger and a LiFEPO4 battery. That is in the future someplace (gas money comes first. LOL) Finally, one of the biggest mods I've done is take out the back seats and build a platform with storage underneath. That is perfect for my needs.
I wasn't sure I was going to like the drawer above the fridge, but it actually is a great place for it. I keep most of my daily use odds and end up there. Sounds like you've got a great Xterra build, wish more folks would give those Nissans a chance, I think they are a great platform.
Never miss your videos love the 392 I currently have a 2019 Sahara and looking forward to someday have a 392. Amazing content keep it up!!!
Thank you and will do!
Great video Brad. Love your 392 build. Would love to see a video like this on the Bronco and see if there have been any new updates. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I've got a plan with the Bronco, but it's going to take time to get parts.
Good to see you're getting things squared away without too many hiccups.
Great video as usual! Personally, I would go with a custom permanent install battery system; I feel like it's difficult to really integrate the portable batteries that you're moving in and out all the time in such a way that they're not just in the way; with the permanent install, you can seal the battery into a nice little box in the rear somewhere and run lines from the inverter to wherever on the outside of the vehicle you'll need them for camping, etc; just my $0.02 though!
I’m heading to Alaska with a portable battery system so I’ll know more by the end of August. I really enjoy your videos even though my philosophy is slightly more stock, minimalist, reliability and less clearance and power capability. I run a stock 4Runner and sleep in the back, but I’m not shy about hard trails. I’ve been on a lot where people are surprised to see me running stock suspension. Fan of Trail Recon. Thanks for what you do.
Safe travels to Alaska! I think there are some great benefits to keeping things minimalist.
9:15 Im with you on the Ursa Minor its a really nice setup, the AT Overland Habitat is also very nice especially for a desert guy like you if you mount it over the hood of your Jeep it will keep the sun away from heating the interior not to mention the mansion like space that thing offers
It think the Habitat is also a nice setup, but I wonder what the weight difference is between the two?
I love the front bumper leave it, you don’t need to do much to it. It is ready to go as is. Dawn
If I could make a suggestion on the hood: perhaps getting a “trail recon“ badge in red matte? That way you will see it if you get close but otherwise it’s not noticeable from a distance
BZ Master Chief. Keep up the good work.
I think for a good power option you should look into the redarc smart isolator it’s completely hidden and requires no input from you it just does it’s thing… I have it on my Jeep and it works perfectly (Part number SBI12)
I love your channel and all of the wonderful information. I have a 2021 Willys and I am considering adding the Mopar 2.0 lift kit with 35's. I have been following closely with Regina's build on her Rubicon. My other option is to just order a 2023 Rubicon with the Extreme Recon Package. So many decisions!!! Please keep Regina's perspective on your channel… it really helps!!!
Sounds like you've got a tough choice, good news it both good options! I blessed Regena wants to join me out on the trails... more to come! Thanks!
@@TrailRecon P.S., I am also looking at the Ursa Minor… I can't wait to see if you get one and your opinion on the build quality, etc. Warm Regards from a retired Army Nurse!!!
Great information. I also enjoyed this format.
Thank you!
The Jeep looks great. Great build out.
Thank you!
Clean is good!😎
The sound never gets old. I never turn mine off. Neither does the wife. She got the XR package on hers.
Damn 2 of em ! What do you do for a living ?
@@dontcallmemarty2177 retired
@trailrecon RAM mounts actually makes a cradle with a ball mount for the Inreach. I have one mounted in my Tacoma. It’s awesome.
Great fun video, always enjoy them.
Thank you!
id suggest the larger TR logo on the doors with the red body color showing so it would be a simple two-color decal of black and grey with open zone
Brad the 392 with an Ursa minor is my dream build. I hope you do it.
great video! I'm trying to decide between the 392 & a Bronco Badlands. You're absolutely helping with my decision. How about some more Bronco content??? Which would you go with?
Another great video! Jeep looks great!
Thank you!
I do that pretty much every day
Excellent Vid. Subscribed. Quick question,,,,,,,,,,the Factory Jeep that you tested had the Fox 2.0 shocks. Your Red Jeep is a Recon with the Mopar Tenneco Rancho RS7MT factory shock. Does your Recon Jeep ride as well as the one you tested with Fox 2.0's ?
I will sit and state at the truck and car in the driveway for hours sometimes. So many things I want to do, so little time. And money.
Brad you should do the oracle LED in bumper rear lights with an amber film over them. That's a pretty easy setup if you wire them up to your Aux switches.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I really want to put the lights up a bit higher for better visibility.
There was a time when I would say "a portable battery? that sounds horrible" but they have gotten so compact and the amount of input and output options on them is just plain ridiculously awesome. Not only that but the simplicity of it is a win. How does the saying go? The less parts, the less things can break. Something like that.
Agree, I recently saw a very nice portable that is ready to come to market that I thinks is going to change the game, but I'm still fascinated by the possibility of a diy system.
Step 1. Set a goal Step 2. Execute goal Step 3. Enjoy! Hahah great video. Thanks for sharing!
Brad. My Rusty’s suspension may not be the issue on my stiff suspension. I had my 35” KO2’s at 41 PSI and now dropped to 37, which has helped. I’m running C tire not the hard wall E’s. Im going to do the chalk test to check tread on the pavement and perhaps drop the PSI a bit more. At 41 PSI I was getting 19.8 on the highway MPG….I doubt I’ll get that food with lower PSI. I just wanted to clear that up from my previous comment.
Power setups are my guilty little obsession lol. I've been messing around a ton with setups in the JL, but I haven't fully decided how I want to setup the new Jeep. Ill be keeping an eye on what you decide. It doesn't seem like anyone has made the perfect portable system yet that you can just install in the Jeep and take out when needed.
NEW JEEP!? 🧐😅
LOL! I don't have an obsession like you, but I have been taking a deep dive into looking at many options.... still on the hunt!
Brad I did add the Amber KC Cyclones V2 on my 392 hinges. Looks good and you can see them very well at night. I send you pics if needed. I also have a few tips if you go that route. 392 is looking good brother.
Thank you, can you shoot me a DM on instagram, would love to see how you went about it.
@@TrailRecon hey Brad I don’t have any social media. I will use my wife’s later tonight and send over some pics.
@@TrailRecon DM sent
Your 392 is a beast brother. It's the right colour, V8......what more do you need😁 Red V8 all day bruv!!! Happy days from New Zealand brother 🤙🏽
Thank you so much!
I love my genright aluminum bumpers, I just got them painted billet silver to match the jeep.
I have Genright on the JK and love them!
@@TrailRecon I know, I’m trying to sort of copy your jku, I’m getting closer
Wow man, looking awesome 😎. My 392 mods are so similar to yours - great to see someone else thinking along the same lines 😊 (mostly debadged, full Goose gear plates, dometic fridge, trailgater, 2x flex era 4 s in the font, 67 designs rail, Midland gmrs, garmin in reach, compressor under passenger seat, large integrated power system (goal zero 1500) etc) One big difference though, I’ve got an Ursa Minor on my 392 (installed Jan 2022), and I absolutely love it, and think you will too! I’m stoked I got the paint matched top, and I’m guessing that’s your style from all the paint matching you’ve done. I recommend all the interior power options. Another difference is suspension, I’ve got a WFO long arm mixed with the metalcloak 392 3.5” game changer along with Fox 3.0s. The ride went from great to absolutely incredible on & off road…I do get the long arms stuck on rocks though.
Thanks for the information. I'm really considering the Usra, it's just a long weigh. Not sure what lift kit I'll go with, but will take a closer look at that one.
@@TrailRecon I hear ya, I waited 11 months to get my camper. It was mainly COVID related issues slowing down John & his team. I see it as a "lifetime purchase" for myself, so it was worth the wait for me. The JL30 weighs 270 lb, and the factory hard top is 140 lb, so 130 lb additional weight up top. I went with low backspace wheels (3.5" like your KMCs on the JK) to increase track width and thus get a little more tip stability at the cost of more scrubbing when turning. It looks cooler too :-) Another mod I did you might appreciate is covering all surfaces at risk of pinstriping with Xpel Ultimate 10 PPF. I've driven through crazy hard dead scrub brushes in Hollister and through unavoidable trees in the Sierras and there are no visible scratches. Sooo nice!
Now that I have a Wrangler it brings me back to camping trips with my parents way back in the last century. We didn't have a winch or a rooftop tent, heck we didn't even have 4wd. We were by ourselves too, probably lucky to be alive. But one thing it made us do was better planning, with paper maps...lol. By not having what is now modern equipment we had to be more cognizant of the road and the possibility of getting help out on the mountain without a cell phone or inreach. I see people driving around town with a beautifully built up wrangler or Forerunner and wonder how much of that equipment do they really need. Don't get me wrong I fully support equipping yourself for the mission, but at some point it gets ridiculous.
I think there is something to be said about simplicity, but after being out in the field roughing it with the Marines as a Navy Corpsman for more times than I can, I like having a few nicely items these days.
Love it Brad. Your pretty tall and I encourage you to take a gander at a product called Seat Slammer. Made my 392 the perfect vehicle. Yea it’s still a Jeep seat but at least it sit at the right angle
Thanks for the info, not familiar with it, but I'll be sure to take a look.
Also, if you are a taller driver, a must consider is Desert-Does-It seat Jacker (raise front) and seat Slammer (lower rear) for a much more comfortable seat angle and increased headroom. Given that you put air under your seats, you may just be able to take advantage of seat Jacker? If compressor is on passenger side, you may be able to use seat Slammer on driver seat? Will make a huge improvement in seat comfort, especially for longer trips.
Thanks for using a lav!
LOL! Audio matters!
I want to see where the bronco build is going! I just got mine 2 days ago and I’m starting to tinker with it already haha
Waiting on parts, but some stuff in the works.
I had a chuckle when you were talking about the winch issue and the upcoming trip. You could always take a different vehicle 😂
The bronco doesn't have a winch yet, no way Regena would let me take her Jeep, so that only leave the JK... not out of the question.
Seeing in the background you need to get Kansas marked on your map we have kansas rocks or Randolph ks has off road trails both places can be done in a day would like to see it filled in flint hills jeep club could show you around or talk to 4x4 land here in kansas
Hey Brad. So far the jeep looks amazing. I don't how far are you going with the build, but yea; it needs the kc ligth bar and a roof rack. I know you don't want a rack but even if you don't install a roof tent it will help with another's accessories and maybe little more space when you need it. But thank you for share your thoughts. 👍👍
A roof rack is not out of the question, I'm just leaning towards not doing it for now. Appreciate your comment!
@@TrailRecon thank you for your answer and can't wait for what's coming with the 392.
Yes sir ! 2
Rooftop tents seem cool and a couple years ago I almost succumbed to the impulse. I'm glad I didn't. I almost always camp solo and often for 2 week trips out west to Moab or Idaho/Montana (maybe Big Bend this winter). I like setting up a relatively minimal but complete base camp in 1 location for up to 3 or 4 days--a nice Gazelle tent, 12v fridge (and Jackery), combo grill w/burner, Waterport, Luggable Loo, nice folding chair, and the standby $8 black/yellow storage bin for supplies. Maybe a fly rod and waders. Everything loads up in the bed of the Raptor and I'm able to stay mobile to explore trails or just head into town for supplies whenever I want. All that gear at a fraction of the cost of a rooftop.
I think there are still a lot of advantages to a roof top tent, but just like anything there are some compromises as well. Keeping things minimalist works for many folks, but everyones has different needs and ways they like to enjoy getting off the grid.
@@TrailRecon Definitely. And since I would like to try some snow camping it would certainly be nice to be off the ground. By the way, I forgot maybe the best piece of gear I have--a Milliard tri-fold memory foam mattress! For insulation and avoiding the aches and pains on a 50 year-old body, it is indispensable.
Nice job Brad!!! Love it 392 owner here as well,nothing but big smiles from ear to ear when I get a chance to drive it😊 I reached out to MagnaFlow to get my exhaust changed and they told me they don’t do it there in Oceanside,they only sell but not install Would you be able to help me to contact the right people to see if they can do it me as well Thank you Elias
You should look at hatchet overland instead of Ursa minor. Hatchet seems more efficient since you can access from the rear and not have to remove panels to get up/down in Ursa minor.
I think there are a few nice options out there, but I know many folks that have been running the Ursa Minor for years, totally happy with them and the build quality holds up to the abuse.
The headliner material that holds your patches. Tell me more - is that a material that can be found in a place like Hancock fabric? Coming from a love of baseball affixing some patches to the garage wall with that material would be neat. ( or is it just like Velcro hook n loop)
Portable electric power unit. Buy it for the capacity and output you need, and like your other camping accessories, it can be transferred to other vehicles, and removed when you don't need it.
I like the clean hood. Incognito. Even a small Trailrecon right behind or infront of the the 392 would be slick in color match. Maybe even smaller/suppersmall wording (like supercharger emblems of old.....like oh yeah its supercharged/TrailRecon..."TRAILRECON sm". Something walking by would be missed Unless stopped and really looked.
I love my 3.6 XR but it definitely needs a lift. I had the Mopar one on my last Jeep. I’m thinking AEV on this one or maybe Metalcloak if my kids can forgo food for a month.
LOL! Keep the kids fed first! Here's a review I did of some JL lift kits a couple years ago you might find helpful: kzhead.info/sun/da6goNGvrHafYKM/bejne.html
I've seen lights that mounts on the outside hinge. I seen them on Amazon a few months ago. I can't remember if they had the amber ones on not. But you know how Amazon is, you don't know how good the lights will be.
Agree, amazon can be hit or miss
Nice setup, Brad. Personally I’d stick with the portable power bank. I like the size and that it’s not permanent to one vehicle. The way things are going you may need to run your house off it. I’ve got a two door JK that I’m in the middle of modifying. Like you I removed the back seat. I’m setting mine up to sleep inside the Jeep on those cold winter days or when in grizzly bear country. I have a shelf for storage while keeping the floor open. I also have a roof rack as my storage space is limited. I’m a fan of roof racks for what I consider obvious reasons. I hope to bump in to you one of these days on the trails. Until then have fun building that dope rig.
Good point about the ability to run your house off the portable battery if needed. I've been very happy without the back seats in my JK for a while and I've slept in the back many times to get out of the wind.
Stoked for the 74 I've been patiently waiting that one. Load it up with 70s camping gear and wear 70s clothes it will be awesome haha. Maybe a 70's mustache too? 😂
Getting closure to getting it out, but it just take time. Oh, and no mustache for me! LOL!
@@TrailRecon lol
Just installed the Midland 575 in my JT and used the Midland hood mount for the ghost antenna. I like the side hood mount you used .... what brand is it?
Loving your 392 XR!!! 2023 Wrangler banks have opened and the 392 is still available. The base price has jumped to $81,190 with destination.
I'm glad they are offering it again next year, but I worry that it may not be offered much longer.
@@TrailRecon I predict a short 3-year run, 2021-2023.
If you'd like different names on your rigs consider "FORCE RECON" for the 392. You know why... Regardless, the 392 is badass!!!👍
I’ve done that with my CJ5 many times
It's a car guy thing!
@@TrailRecon I agree
Yay!
Keep the portable battery Chief! Cheers!
What brand tailgate table do you have? Love your stuff Brad
American Adventure Lab has a pretty good solution for keeping a batter and control unit in the little cubby underneath the "trunk" area.
I've seen that, a good possible solution!
For a sleek effective DC - DC Charger have a look at the Australian Built Intervolt DCC R2-0 Pro with the Inertial Sense Module.
Will do, thank you!
Brad, do check also the ground wiring on your warn winch, could be the culprit.
I did take a look at all the visible wires, couldn't find any ground issues.
Jim from Temecula here! Absolutely love my 392 XR. Totally agree with some suspension upgrades in the future, but otherwise trying to keep it stock. Ran into you up at big bear couple weekends back during my initial shakedown run. One thing I noticed was with the rtt and diy drawer system I made, the rear shocks were bottoming out. Not sure what that’s about. Maybe bump stops?
I would imagine you were hitting the bumps stops, might be worth throwing a coil spacer in the rear, are stiffer/taller springs.
@@TrailRecon absolutely! Might just throw some 3/4-1”spacers all around. I’d like to throw on 37’s eventually. Are yours rubbing at all?
Just a hair bit of rub in the rear, but I can live with it for now.
Recommended to add 1" to rear axle bump stop to keep tire out of fender well.
I have a rear custom "box" that houses my 80qt fridge, cook stove, 100 amp hour lifepo4 battery, redarc 50 amp dcdc charger, air compressor, a large drawer, an area for all my electrical fuses and wiring. None of which you can see but is easily accessible. One anderson plug and 6 nuts and the whole thing comes out.
Sounds like a great setup and man that's a big fridge, you must be eating well a camp!
Hey Brad, for the rear amber lights how about motorcycle turn signals mounted next to the third break light.....
I think that's one good options, I just am still undecided.
She looks sharp!! Can I ask what size and offset the wheels are? Wanting to fit 35s to my 2 door Rubi.
Since you’re not going with the roof rack. You should get a small solar on the hard top and have it hooked up into the portable charging
Agree, I have been looking at the adhesive solar panels, I think those have some great potential!
I see on your map you still haven’t made it to MN. Can’t wait to see you explore here. Most of the trail systems are in the upper 1/3 of the state.
Can't wait to get up there in the future!
Chant it with me Brad.....Ursa Minor....Ursa Minor....the wait is worth it...Kris, Zach, John and John are artists....and while you're at it...get Marco on board with one too! 🙂 😜
LOL!
Trying to find the KC cyclone mod video. Installing the cyclone as a camp light on the rear windshield wiper box.
Hi Brad. The 392 is great and I understand your excitement and time around it. I’m curious through, do you still have the Bronco? I was really looking forward to seeing how you were going to build that out as on overland rig.
I do still have the Bronco and working on a working on the build plan, it's just going to take some time.
It’s the 392. Honor it by taking the doors and top off. Can’t seem to find any good vids of jeeps w doors and tops off.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences and thoughts Brad. I see that you have a stubby front bumper. Was this out of necessity for running 37" tires? Have you experienced any rubbing with a full width front bumper and 37" tires before in any other of your Jeep setups ?
I like the look of the stubby better, and was on took them off the second day. I haven't had them on with the 37's, so can't say if there is any rubbing.
One thing you always talked about with your your other Jeeps was the GVWR. Is there any significant difference with the 392??? Obviously a larger, heavier motor. The red/gold color combo is cool. So much of everything is blacked out today. An Ursa Minor would be a seriously cool option. With the Ursa Minor you could do a solar panel system.
I think the 392 has the lowest GVWR of any vehicle I've owned at only 850, so just trying to be mindful. The Ursa would add about 150 lbs and might be worth the sacrifice.
Looking for some traillights, mount them on your tire carrier.
It's an option, but I find having them up higher is helpful for the best visibility.
What about a removable box that houses your dc/dc charger and a 100ah battery? Ive seen some really nice examples folks have done and shared on various jeep and expo forums. That way its removable (semi-permeant) but you can take advantage of a better battery and charge system.
I think a semi-permanent solution could be an option, but I'm okay if it's permanent if done well.
Hey Brad, what do you keep under the storage compartments from the goose gear seat delete areas? Could that be an area for a more permanent location for an onboard power bank??
Tool bag in one, recovery bag in another and misc. items in the third but the 4th one I've been considering, just need to do it right if I do.
Great thought process and video, much appreciated!! our red 392XR is due in 2 weeks (on the truck now) does the MF exhaust still use the baffle switch inside or does it delete it all together? Definitely going to take our time with this build and not rush into the larger mods.
Thank you and congrats on your soon to be new 392, you'll love it! Yes, the exhaust still allows you to use the baffle switch, a feature I really like.
Hi Brad! Great video. Which magnaflow exhaust do you have? When I went to their website, it showed they have 2 for the 392. A rock crawler system and a street system. Thanks in advance for the clarification
He has the #19598 Street system. So you maintain both Quiet and Performance exhaust modes.
