Episode 002: Brad Kowitz - The MF Show

In this episode of The MF Show, hosts Jerry Zaiden and Richard Waitas sit down with Brad Kowitz, the creator of the TrailRecon YouTube channel. Brad and his son launched TrailRecon back in 2015 as a personal video diary to document their off-road adventures. Although never intending to build a large audience, the off-road community took notice to their content, and TrailRecon evolved into a full-fledged channel with over 634,000 subscribers and a passionate fan base.

In this conversation, Brad Kowitz shares how his lifelong love of cars led him from street builds to the world of Jeeps and off-roading. He also shares some personal stories and experiences of how much off-road has changed his life for the better, improving his relationship with his family, getting out in nature, and inspired him to create content that motivates others to explore the outdoors.

We also dive into the world of off-road aftermarket gear and mods, from essential upgrades and camping setups to Brad's initial thoughts of the new Toyota Land Cruiser, from how it stacks up as a stock vehicle to what potential it offers as an aftermarket platform.

Follow Brad from TrailRecon on Instagram and YouTube to keep up with all his adventures.
