+1 for Dirt Lifestyle if you’re into fabrication. Also, it’s not gladiator related Matt’s Off Road Recovery is a lot of fun.

I love watching MORR.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people think they can drive through the dunes with their AWD vehicle equipped with Pirelli track tires.
Secretly, Matt and the crew must have a good chuckle, once in a while, off camera. It's good for business.
It never gets old.

One channel I watch is Arkansas Offroad, mainly because it is in my area. Other than that I watch TrailRecon.

You have to remember this is a business for him, I believe more so now then ever before. He has found a way to make a lot of money and is trying to broaden his base. Like most business people he probably leases these new vehicles for tax deduction reasons so swapping them out makes sense so he can keep making new product. There is nothing wrong with this, I just believe a lot of viewers feel a connection with these you tubbers and and think of them as a friend and forget this is business for them
There's no way Brad could lease those Jeeps and install tens of thousands of dollars in mods. Before Brad went full-time YouTube, he worked at a hospital. He's also a retired Senior Chief. And his wife is a nurse. California salaries are pretty high. So, combine all that and no doubt he was doing well enough to buy whatever vehicles he wanted.

So, he must have been doing pretty well with his YouTube channel to quit his job. He has the very big advantage of having his medical covered as a military retiree. Sucks for him to do that right before "Pandemicland" broke out. It's kinda sad to watch Brad's videos from early 2020 and hear how excited he is for all the cool things coming up over the year. Suddenly, "Not!".

Yeah, so the overpriced water can is a bit silly. But likely someone donated it, Brad tried it out and shared his opinion. That's how things work and I'm cool with that. Brad has always said he will give his honest opinion. I recall him not being happy with a few donated lights and he was honest about it.

Don't know how much he makes from YouTube on his videos - I do know that he could make some good money doing it. AutoVlog shared that one video of his earned him over $10,000 - it was one where he put brake fluid in the gas tank I think, of an old junker car - the car actually ran better after that. Brad is also involved with E3 Overland and I am sure he is paid for that as well for the videos he does. If he was Senior Chief his retirement check is pretty good.

If you know anything about self-employed and taxes you would know that leasing is the only way to go to write off the investment and what you do pay for mods, which he probably receives most a no cost or at least wholesale. I'm sure he did not start off as a full blown business venture but with going full time with you tube and E3 he needs the write offs. I like watching Brad and think he is a great person so if he can make money along the way, I say great for him
