I used to like brad but when he turned everything into a pay situation and went to bronco he became just another you tube hype out for money>>>> I know everyone has to make a living but I won't support that

Something both Wrangler and Bronco need.....One touch all 4 windows down. Otherwise known as the fart button.

Honestly, the only thing my Wrangler needs is to get going on another adventure.

I agree, I find Brad hard to watch nowadays. I have met Brad at Overland Expo West last year and he is a nice man and I hope he remains successful, but with that said, I find that I rarely watch him anymore.

I find YouTube in general is getting harder to enjoy. With Jeep content, it is getting way over saturated. Jeep YouTubers in general are running out of new content. Like how many YouTube videos do you want to see about Black Bear pass? It feels like there are thousands of them. Same with the trails in Moab or just about any cool trail. Then when you go to an event there are hundreds of people trying to make content at an event. Now we get hundreds of videos of each yearly event. Like hey Jeep Beach in Florida is pretty much the same thing every year.

Originally is close to dead on YouTube and the over saturation of content makes it difficult to find decent content when you want to watch something.

I enjoy Dirt Lifestyle and Fab Rats the most these days. Both have original content and a lot of custom work.

Venture4WD is definitely original content and off the beaten path.

I'll go against the grain and agree with wanting the Wrangler to have frameless windows. Nothing is goofier looking than a Wrangler with the top down or off and full framed doors. Needing to pick up a second set of half doors to have the right look is kind of bizarre but a very Jeep way to make extra money tho. I've owned several vehicles with frameless windows, hell, I'm full-time half doors on my JLR so a little extra noise or rattle isn't a deterrent to me.

The only other real complaint I have is that the Wrangler needs something more in the engine department between the 2.0L/3.6L and the 392 like a low boost version the Hurricane I-6. Just drop the 3.6L completely and add some separation away from the 2.0L. And for god's sake allow that on the 2dr. Yes, I'm aware the 4Xe exists and the diesel was there but neither of them were available on 2 doors.

Frameless windows? No thanks. That’ll be the start of endless rattles.

Bronco can get away with it; Ford owners already expect rattles...

I have watched every one of his videos. His content is no where as good as it used to be. He has gotten lazy. He used to film for 4 days to make a video and it included tours of small town, hiking and off road driving. Now his videos are , I drove outon a trail, camped for the night and now I am going back to the van and girlfriend.

The quality of his video production and photography are top notch for sure. But it is almost like it is an inconvenience to make something like he used.

There have been a few that I enjoyed but their $ and fame have started to turn me off. I have enjoyed when they have started out like us normal people and shown how to do normal people mods and what they thought of them or why they went with xyz. Now that they're big it isn't as enjoyable or educational as it once was. I'm still new to Jeeps and have enjoyed learning about them and planning on doing my next mods and how to install them. I don't care about your 102mm turbo, 8.4 v10 swapped rubicon with Dana 100s.

I know, I'll go be poor somewhere else.

I still watch but I have to agree. You hit the nail on the head. It’s like he’s just not that into it anymore. He just released a video offering freelance photography services! I knew things looked to be going downhill for the channel views but I’m surprised at that choice of direction. Perhaps he thinks less editing for the ROI?

I have liked the guy for a long time. But maybe I watched more of his old videos....I really enjoyed his gang setting up camp and doing the cooking, along with some cool trail runs in SoCal and AZ, both of which I frequent. And he seems like a genuinely nice guy....he's probably just running out of things to say.....
