CRAZIEST Exhaust Ever Installed on a Jeep Gladiator
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 30. 05. 2024
- The old military vehicles had high water fording exhaust on their vehicles, can that be implenebted on a Jeep Gladiator? In this video I share with you several of the latest upgrades and modifications I've done to the Trail Aid Station to include regearing, vinyl decals, the new Overland Vehicles Systems Expedition truck bed cap, a new Redarc battery management system and my totally custom Magnaflow deep water crossing exhaust.

I think your audio was mono, not getting left channel on this video, just FYI, love the channel!
yeah i just started it and thought my left air-pod was dead
@@asaleemeadows LOL me too... like WUT?
Sorry about that guys.... mic technical error I should have checked with headphones before uploading.
I was wondering, too. Wouldnât be the first time a had an air pod decide not to work, but Iâve never had one go out in the transition from one video to another.
I noticed that on the eastern Jeep safari video too
As a soon-to-be retired Army Flight Paramedic, I absolutely love the concept of this build and may integrate some of your ideas into my own. Love the content!
Thanks for your service and best of luck on your upcoming retirement!
Excellent đ I'm a retired Aircraft Mechanic on the old 141s and C5s out at Travis, my plate is a Veteran Plate that says "MECH" on it đ€đ
Sourdough campground in. Tok Alaska had a wash rack enjoy your trip
My recommendation for the battery box: put a second set of USB and socket ports INSIDE the box, and drive all the top-mounted charging stations off the internal ports, as youâll always want those plugged in, and you can hide those wires, then. And then use the ports you already have for other devices you only plug in occasionally.
Awesome video as always Brad. Your Gladiator is an awesome overlanding rig. And thank you for your service.
A great solution for being able to see out the back window is a camera-driven rear-view mirror. Theyâre reasonably priced on Amazon, and they work really well. I use one on my JL because the oversized rear tire on the bumper all but blocks the view. That way you can jam the truck bed full and it doesnât impede your rear view at all.
Yep, they work great, put one on my ram. Has front and rear camera, GPS with recoding, incase of accident video doesn't lie.
My right ear enjoyed this
Your dedication to the military, our country, and military families is so admirable. Not to mention your medical training and wanting to give back to all of us. Thank you, Brad.
Being a bit obsessive about dust control in camper shell I feel your pain. There are some 12-volt blower fans on Amazon used for offshore engine compartments to pressurize the engine compartment. The cap on out trucks being closed in its usually lower pressure than the outside pressure traveling down the road allowing dust to be invited in. Pressurize it and dust problem will mostly go away. Keep replacing the rubber seal on the tailgate as required.
As a former combat lifesaver trained infantryman, I love what you are doing. I love the high water fording exhaust. Jeep should make that optional on their wranglers and Gladiators. There should be a few of these in every state for first responders.

There, I fixed it for you.
@travelinman482 Not everyone knows what that means. That's why I said it like I did.
@@danielstevens3869
Ah, understood.
âCombat lifetakersâ we call them. Former 11b1p here. Sadly just usually a new guy who got stuck with extra gear to carry when doc needs it.
@starrskreamgaming we were all combat life saver certified by my 3rd deployment. Not extra equipment for doc either.
love these types of fabrication breakdown vids. Keep it up Brad!
Build is awesome! Conservative lift and tire combo, then wham! Crazy exhaust, love it!
Can hardly wait to see you putting all of this into action!!!
Oh man that exhaust is so rad! I always keep a first aid kit in my truck. Great content as always, much love from Texas!
Right on!
Hey I'm in Texas too.
Thatâs AWESOME! Please tell Magnaflow to make that a commercial product!
Brad this an awesome build and I love the purpose of First Aid as a focus. Keep up the great work
Brad, I LOVE your channel! Your passion is second to none and that grabs me. And like you said, your Jeep, your exhaust... and YOU love it - after all, it's your circus, your monkeys, ha. I'm a recent retiree after 31 years with the DOD (13 USAF) and tho I'm not a Jeep guy, I learn SO MUCH from many of you. I've got an 11,000 lb overlanding 4-wheel drive dually Sprinter (170 XL no less đ) that I've been building from the ground up for a couple of years. And while the large size is great from the inside, it's can be a HUGE negative from the outside when off-roading. Recently, on a solo run in the Tennessee mountains, I got stuck in a river with my exhaust 6" underwater. Believe it or not, my diesel continued to run for almost an hour while I winched myself out. BUT, I'll count my lucky stars, not take them for granted, and look at an exhaust extension much like yours if necessary. Keep it up Brad, THANK YOU for your wonderful ideas, and of course, for your service!đ
Brad I love how Doc is turning out. And it looks like your having even more fun while your building it out. Your gonna love Alaska driving Doc.
Thank you! I wont actually be hitting Alaska this trip, going up through the Yukon to the Northwest Territory in Canada.
@@TrailRecon You'll love the Yukon.
I love it all and anyone who has negative opinions just keep them to yourself. Looking forward to whatâs coming Brad!
Wow, that exhaust would look really cool on a 4-door Jeep Rubicon!
Gladiator is looking Kickass, Brad đ
Build is coming along great. Decals look awesome Brad, I like the idea of the side exhaust without the stack but get why you have done it. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! It's good to be you! I can't wait to see the future videos! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad your back..A lot of the Group was worried... They were worried and was wondering where you were at and thought something was wrong.. I just told them that you were probably editing a really really good video for us đ
I was thinking you probably went on that Center force ride or you were wheeling with TSTN ..I did see you with him on his channel.
Very cool Brad! I hope Regina is traveling to the artic circle with you. My wife & I like Regina in the videos.
Your rig is amazing sir đ„đ„đ„
Canât wait to see it in person đ€đœ
That exhaust đ itâs so badass đđœ

excellent execution on the exhaust!! really nice job!
Nice to finely see a snorkel on an exhaust to compliment a snorkel on the front for water crossing đ
Amazing. Good idea. Keep brainstorming
I love the commitment to the theme and mission. That OVS topper is now also on my shortlist of options for my Gladiator, the features and price are very competitive.
The Gunny is looking forward to fallowing your trip to Alaska. Great job on the Gladiator. Semper Fi Doc!
Brad, you are awesome brotha! Your vision, passion, and intelligence mirror each other in this build. Plus, we all know you are going to use this beast on the trail.
Great video and great build!
I hope our paths cross.
âïžđđ
I appreciate that!
great update, Brad. excited to watch the buildout and your upcoming trip.
It is fun to watch the problem solving, thank you!
Man, I absolutely love how this truck is turning out Brad! I really liked the exhaust when I first saw it and just knew there had to be some ties to the military somehow, but I had no idea about those high-fording exhaust on the Humvees and other military vehicles. Awesome integration onto the Gladiator as well as all of the upgrades you've added. I really like that SST topper as well. I wasn't sure how this build would differ from your previous Gladiator build (which I also enjoyed), but this is really coming into it's own with the First Aid theme and I think may be one of the best (and most unique) Gladiators out there when it's all said and done! Looking forward to the next video!
Hi Brad. Well done on presenting this video, you're a pro. With the tailgait leaking dust. I used Self-adhesive Open Cell Foam and it has lasted for years since 2018 and still going strong. It is light and sticks really well. The heavier rubber ones may look better but the lighter material really works and I don't even notice it.
It's crazy awesome Brad. Your smile and enthusiasm is all that matters. Good luck with your upcoming trip.
Excellent solution for the exhaust. I bet this makes it aftermarket offering if your tests work out!
Hi Brad, very nice build! Thank you for sharing! đ
Awesome progress, this keeps getting better and better. Try the ESI seal kit, which is under 30 bucks. They have directions that show how to use a 1" test strip to figure out the optimal install orientation and position along the bottom so that the seal doesn't end up folding inward and failing.
Magna flow needs to make this exhaust a kit for sale
It is great that a vision in mind and paper comes out so well.
It has brought awareness of my training in first aid and when I was an EMT to the forefront of preparing.
Great video and glad to see this build coming along like it is. Also love the idea of the charging station. I need to incorporate something like this in mine for the same purpose!
Awesome auxiliary battery setup brother.
I've loved the high water kits on our military Hummers but had a love-hate relationship on civilian vehicles. Looks like y'all nixed any hesitation I would have. Looks great, excited to see it in action.
I love the exhaust, you need to compliment it with a snorkel nowđ
This build is coming out very unique. I love that and am looking forward to your trip.
Thanks for the video. Hope you and the family are well. Great job. I love your attention to detail.đ
Brad, it's coming along great!! Love watching how you are bringing the vision to life.
Really not trying to be negative, but I am confused. When you call it a Trail Aid Station, won't that give people the idea that it is a first aid vehicle that can administer first aid? But in previous videos, you said that was not the purpose of this build. Just think the messaging is a bit confusing, if not misleading.
So happy to see you with the OVS Cap! I only discovered them recently and Iâm very interested to see how it works for you. Canât wait to see your Alaska trip videos. đ
I first saw the exhaust and was like why Brad why! Was not a fan until you explained it, makes sense and I get it. Not a fan of the looks, but definitely respect the tribute and functionality! Very unique!
So many great mods and this build is really getting me excited to make my Gladiator my own. Love the idea around using the foam to keep chargers organized.
You've got the snorkel and the exhaust, just curious if you have lengthened the vent breather hoses yet for the t-case, and diffs?
Unique is always the way. Love this. Itâs just way more fun to me when people do things out of the ordinary. Well done.
They keep is awesome whatâs even more awesome is seeing you be able to do it your way and enjoy your life to the fullest. Thatâs the grand prize
What a unique exhaust! I love this sort of content. Do what you want with your Jeep!
Brad, love what you've done with the power management. You could possibly Cerakote the exhaust pipe below the heat shield. That should help with your heat issue. Although not necessary you could also install a flapper plate at the top of the exhaust stack to keep water, debris, etc from falling down into the pipe.
Man that exhaust is awesome! Love this whole project!
Brad ! Obviously the JTR looks ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY FANTASTIC !!! I know it's yours but I think the TrailRecon logo looked AWESOME & didn't look over the top to me but to each there own .... ANOTHER great extremely informative video , the exhaust is definitely reminiscent of the older / newer military systems but i don't think i could've put those large holes in my new ride but your happy & your goals were accomplished . Brutha keep it up !!! OH ENJOY fulfilling that dream on your trip ....
What a great unique build! Can't wait to see how it performs for you on your journey!!
I bought an RSI Smartcap EVO Sport a couple of months ago. I really enjoy the side access and side bin.
This video had me thinking my headphones were finally on the way out LOL
Love how the build is coming along. I have had first aid kits in my vehicles for almost 50 years.
Your tease posts on Instagram had me anxiously awaiting this update video, thanks for sharing!! Awesome build!!
I KNOW RIGHT it was killing me when I saw the short on CZcams
Looks awesome! Great job!
This Jeep looks fantastic, and must drive very well. It looks even better than what you were talking about in your live calls. I can't wait to see Doc out on the trails in real!
Well done Brad, that looks really good, and very unique. I like it.
Looks awesome
Itâs crazyâŠbut I like it! So well executed, too. Chefâs kiss!
Looks great!
Thanks Brad! Will definitely get a first aid kit for my Gladiator. I love your content and great job on the build focusing on function over form. The truck looks all the cooler for it.
I like all your mods Brad. Looking forward to your trip north in it! đ
can not wait for this trip video!!!!
This jeep is so cool, I love the concept, the graphics, the stainless cap is awesome and the exhaust is really neat. Reminds me of the army!
You should be very proud of yourself and everything you have done with this build so far. Exhaust , battery system, and topper are awesome to me.
The gladiator is looking awesome!!!
I love it Brad, and you are right, itâs your Jeep and you can do what you want. Iâve seen vehicles with exhaust like that traveling around the globe as an Air Force flight engineer. Canât wait to see more.
Love the Red Stripe MC! If you ever decide to go to Patagonia, let me know. That would be a bucket list trip.
I've been waitin for this video. Heck, I like the exhaust. I think it looks cool and its incredibly unique. Cant wait to see how this vehicle is going to continue to evolve.
On my Tacoma TRD PRO I'm running 4.88 with 31 inch tires! Its just fine at 65mph and has a outstanding crawl ratio!
Looks great on the rig!
Pretty cool Jeep video!!! Iâve got 4.88âs w/35âs and love it. Iâve also re-geared a past 4x4 in the 90âs and it worked great. Have a safe/fun trip HMCM.
Love it. Your Gladiator is coming along nicely. Great job, love the tribute and the fact that you are bringing awareness to First Aid.
Thank you very much!
awesome and outstanding
Looks good Brad, thank you for sharing. Have a safe trip. Wish we were gone with you. Thank you Don and Donna. In North Idaho.
What a unique build!! Love it
Trying to keep it different.
Great video Brad. Doc is looking good
misinformation on the internet?? never đ Doc looks great!
Looks good
Hi Brad, great video. I traveled overland from Los Angeles to Prudhoe Bay Alaska in a First Generation Toyota Tacoma. Great adventure, looking forward to the video. Good luck to you.
I love it too Brad, itâs great the way you continue to honor your time in the military which brings honor to all your brothers and sisters both veteran and currently serving! Good luck on your trip to the Arctic Circle, Iâll be riding (virtually-shotgun) - as always Semper Fi!
The video weâve all been waiting for! Great job man! So awesome
Thank you!
As a former Critical Care Transport and ER nurse (now PACU) Iâm following this build closely to incorporate the ideas, I can afford, into my 2023 Gladiator. Excited to stop by Silverdale Wa and check out the shop.
Really like that!
I do not care for that type of exhaust, but dang it is done great and looks great ! Your story adds to it . Looking forward to all your videos, but can not wait for the artic circle ones.
Looks awesome Brad! Cant wait for the artic circle content.
Good job on the 4:88âs I did that and installed a e-locker for the front of my Gladiator Mojave. I pull a bass boat and an overland trailer and it works well. Love your channel. Keep up the great work
@TrailRecon this is brilliant! Your battery compartment and the idea for holding battery chargers in place is great and Iâm probably going to steal the idea - on a lesser scale - for me. Exhaust system makes complete sense. So much on snorkels for air intake, very little in my experience, discussion about exhaust snorkel. Excellent thinking! Well done!
