Jeep Recon MOAB 4WD

TrailRecon · TrailRecon · 31 Oct 2026

One man spent most of his life digging a tunnel through a mountain, and the reason for it disappeared eighteen years before he finished. Two days in the El Paso Mountains, north of Randsburg, California. The road in was washed out, so this one started with a detour and a new setup: Recon One on 40s towing the Patriot Campers X2. From there it’s old mines and the people who worked them. A volcanic ash mine that ended up in kitchen sinks across the country. Walt Bickel’s camp, still sitting the way he left it. Burro Schmidt’s tunnel, half a mile through solid rock by hand, which I walked end to…

Big Bear has a few stories hiding beyond its famous trails and this weekend, Jerry and I set out to explore both. With Recon One and Jerry’s built diesel Wrangler both rolling on 40s, we head into the mountains for some challenging rock crawling, great scenery, and a weekend close to home. Having a capable Jeep is one thing; picking your line and trusting your buddy to spot you is where the fun begins. Along the way, we explore the ruins of the old Dam Keeper’s House, look into the history behind Big Bear Lake, and visit the Big Bear Alpine Zoo to learn about its wildlife rescue and rehabilit…

Forty-inch tires look great on a Jeep, but I wanted to find out how much they actually help on the trail. Recon One is getting a 4.5-inch TeraFlex lift and 40-inch Toyo Open Country R/T Pro tires and we’re heading back to familiar obstacles to see what changed. Jerry and I go through the suspension upgrades, Falcon adjustable shocks, steering improvements, and the details that matter when making room for bigger tires. Then it’s back to Truck Haven to compare the current build with footage from when Recon One was stock and running its first lift with 35s. From the logs and whoops to the pipes…

I brought the Jeep, rain gear, and even a chainsaw. Ohio apparently hadn’t read the itinerary. This leg of Recon America takes me through southern Ohio in search of forest trails and old railroad tunnels. But with steady rain, water crossings, and a tree blocking the trail, the day quickly becomes less about where I’m going and more about how far it makes sense to keep pushing. Along the way, I visit Lake Hope and the historic Hope Furnace before heading into West Virginia to explore Point Pleasant, where riverfront history and the legend of the Mothman give this adventure a completely differ…

Regena put a deposit down on a Jeep Recon before ever driving one. Now we finally get behind the wheel to see if it’s something she’d actually want to live with every day. We spend time on the road and out on the trail, explore the interior, and talk through what matters to each of us. I’m curious about how it handles the dirt. Regena has a daily commute to think about—and a few priorities of her own. Her yellow Wrangler is staying in the family. The question is whether the Recon deserves a spot alongside it. Come along for the drive, the honest reactions, and a little back-and-forth as we fi…

Recon One has officially entered its next phase! When I started Project Recon One, the goal was to take a relatively simple Jeep Wrangler Willys and build it in stages testing each phase on the trail, learning what worked, finding its limitations, and eventually transforming it into a dedicated hardcore rock crawler. Well, we’ve reached that point. Over the last month, Recon One has undergone some of its biggest changes yet. In this video, I’m walking you through the new axles, wheels and tires, fender changes, gauges, a few things I’ve removed, and some other upgrades that are helping prepar…

Nobody does it like Jeep and that has to be said for the new Recon. First and foremost this is a Trail rated, open air Jeep that just so happens to run on electricity and run it does. With 670 hp this will launch 0-60 in a claimed 3.6 seconds but the downside is you'll only get 222 miles of rated range. That's certainly low by todays standards but should be enough for your everyday driving and what other EV could you take to the trail (9inches of ground clearance and Rear E-Locker), to work, on your errands, and all without doors and windows? #jeep #jeeprecon #4xe #trailrated #trailratedev #d…

At the end of a day exploring Tennessee's backcountry sits a fort that disappeared over 250 years ago and the original ground it stood on is now at the bottom of a lake. In this episode of Recon America, I point Recon One into the Cherokee National Forest the single largest piece of public land in Tennessee starting at Bald River Falls and piecing together forest roads and two-track up to a 5,000-foot lookout with views toward Georgia. Storm damage closed some of the trails I'd planned, so this day became about taking the turns you can't see the end of... and one of them delivered the best mo…

Everyone kept telling me I needed to wheel Kentucky. This week I finally did in the middle of a string of thunderstorms that had the whole region soaked. In this episode of Recon America, I head into the Daniel Boone National Forest to run Spaas Creek Trail a tight, muddy, tree-lined trail that's nothing like the wheeling we do out west. Deep water holes, storm debris, and a shale climb on Pumpkin Hollow round out the trail day. Then the exploring starts: driving the Jeep through the Nada Tunnel, a 900-foot railroad tunnel cut through solid sandstone by hand more than a century ago, hiking to…

In this episode of Recon America, I'm exploring the Bachelor Loop above Creede, Colorado — the last great silver boomtown in the state. This 17-mile trail winds through what's left of a mining district that produced a billion dollars' worth of silver at today's prices: the massive Commodore Mine with its 200 miles of tunnels, abandoned townsites where hundreds of people lived at 10,000 feet, and a few surprises along the way — including a moose, a locked gate, and a fire station you have to see to believe. Creede burned down again and again during the boom years... so the town blasted its fir…

The mountains above Durango were named for silver that was never really there and this trail tells the whole story. In this episode of Recon America, I point the Jeep up La Plata Canyon toward Kennebec Pass, an easy backcountry route that climbs past waterfalls, old mining claims, and the ruins of towns that boomed and busted 150 years ago. Most of the trail is a comfortable graded road, but the last stretch gets rocky you'll want 4WD and a little patience. At the top: the remains of the Cumberland Mine and some of the best views in the San Juans. Then it's down the other side into Durango a…
