These Rugged Ridge Windshield Hinge Brackets in Black are for those of you that have a

2007 and up JK, that are looking to change up the look of your Jeep but don't want to

make any sort of permanent or major modifications to your factory pieces.

Of course, you could always pull your hinge covers off of your factory Jeep, hit them

with a temporary coating, or even a powder coat or a spray paint coating to change them

to black, but again, if you want to be able to go back to factory very easily, you can

swap in this set or, of course, if you have any sort of major damage to these pieces and

you're looking for a replacement, this is going to work for those of you as well.

Now, these are going to bolt directly in place.

They're practically a factory piece but they're going to be less expensive than going to Mopar

and trying to find a replacement.

These are going to be a very easy install, definitely a one out of three wrench bolt-on

installation and we'll talk a little bit more about that in just a second.

Overall, again, if you're looking to change the look of your Jeep or you need a replacement

because yours are missing or damaged, I think this is going to be a less expensive option

than going to Mopar and they're still going to fit perfectly.

As for construction, there's not too much to say about these.

These are going to be very similar to the factory windshield hinge covers.

These are a steel piece designed to fit directly onto your factory Jeep.

They are covered in a black powder-coat finish right out of the box so if you're looking

for that little bit of additional attitude, if you're looking to black out your Jeep or

you have a lot of black accents, these are going to work really well.

As for the install, again one out of three wrenches.

All you have to do is unbolt your factory set and bolt these up.

It shouldn't take you more than a half hour, probably closer to 15 minutes to do.

Today, we're going to be installing the Rugged Ridge Hinge Bracket.

They go right about here on the Jeep, we're going to replace this factory one.

The new one's going to be black.

Very simple installation.

Just removal of a few bolts, we're good to go.

We're going to being by removing the six T-40 Torx head bolts from the factory bracket.

The new kit comes with the new bracket and new hardware.

Now installation of your new brackets is just as easy as the removal of the old ones.

You're going to line the new bracket up into place, go ahead and just start your hardware

into the holes.

Now you can just go ahead and just tighten up your bolts.

Just repeat the process for the other side.

And that's your installation of your new windshield hinge brackets.

Quick, easy, anyone can do it.

This set of hinge covers from Rugged Ridge is going to run you right around $80 which

I do think is going to be a pretty fair price when you consider the alternative of going

directly to Mopar for a piece like this.

So whether you're looking to change up the look of your Jeep by changing your windshield

hinge covers to black or you need a replacement for some other reason, I think this is going

to be an option that fits really well and is fairly priced from Rugged Ridge that you

can find right here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ P3 Tire (31 to 35") (1987-2018 YJ, TJ, JK & JL) Review - Duration: 2:42.

If you're looking for a hybrid tire that's good off-road as well as a good daily driver,

then you'll probably find yourself in the all-terrain category.

This Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ P3 tire will be a good option to take a look at if you're

looking for an aggressive all-terrain tire that will perform great off-road in softer

and muddy areas as well as give you good traction on obstacles while keeping good road manners

on the street.

They will be offered in sizes 31 to 35 and 15 to 20 inch wheels for all '87 and up Wranglers.

Mickey Thompson is a big name in tires and that's all because of their well thought out

construction.

And like I mentioned, because this is a hybrid between an all-terrain and a mud terrain,

this will perform both well on the street and on the trail.

The design of the tread will be interlocking to give you maximum control and traction that

you may be looking for on the trail, and lugs on the tire will be wide enough to self-clean

that will give you the benefits of a mud tire.

However, in comparison to a mud tire, these lugs will be a little bit closer which will

wear better and more evenly, and most importantly be quieter on the road when you're daily driving

your Wrangler like an all-terrain.

It will also have some sipes in the surface like an all-terrain to push water out and

give you better traction on the street in rain and snow.

So you have a balance between both style tires.

These will be thick as well with a three-ply construction that will be a little bit higher

ply than some other options for all terrain tires that we offer, and this will allow for

strength while keeping your sidewall flexibility when you air down off-road.

Speaking of sidewall, this will also have a more aggressive sidewall than some other

options on the site, with nims and lugs that come down off the tread.

This will allow for better traction when you do air down at the trailhead and protect against

anything coming in contact with the sidewall on the trail or even from a curb when you're

aired up on the street.

Price will vary with what diameter and wheel size that you're looking to roll with, but

these start at right around $190 at the moment.

The price on this will land itself in the higher end of the spectrum right under the

NIDA Ridge and the Exo Grappler because of the well-built design that MT creates here.

These will be one of those aggressive looking all-terrain tires on the page, in my opinion,

but it does carry over a bit more features than other options that are lower priced do

because of the beefy sidewall and the self-cleaning features.

This is Merideth with XT, and you can find this and everything else Wrangler right here

at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Rugged Ridge Center Console Cover - Black (2007-2010 JK) Review & Install - Duration: 3:10.

This Rugged Ridge Center Console Cover is for the 2007 to 2010 JK owner looking for

a small modification to spice up their interior with something unique rather than the plain

factory.

This will also provide some good protection to the top of your center console, keeping

it looking brand new over time.

Or if you're looking to cover up some existing wear and tear on your center console, this

will do just the job.

This is timeless to install at one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter.

And I'll show you more about the install in just a minute.

This center console might not look too comfortable to lean on because of the unique tire tread

design, but it's made from a polyurethane foam, making it actually enjoyable to rest

your arm on while you're driving in the Jeep.

Since the foam on the cover is thick and very heavy duty, this is gonna do a very good job

of protecting the top of your center console from any scratches or any stains.

Because of the polyurethane material, it will hold up and last a long time.

What I like about this cover, aside from other options that we have, is that this isn't cloth

so it's not gonna stain.

And you can wipe it down while you're cleaning your interior instead of taking it off and

throwing it in the wash.

It installs in seconds with automotive 3M tape.

So you can trust that it's not gonna budge when you do lean on it.

This cover also comes in a tan color for the 2007 to 2010 JK models, giving you an option

as well.

And there's also an option for the '11 to '17 models so make sure you get the right

one for your JK.

As far as price goes, this is about average for a center console cover, coming in at right

around $40.

There are more expensive options that are all cushion and are made for comfort.

And then there are the less expensive options that are just the bare minimum cloth.

With this standing right in the middle, I honestly think it's the best of both worlds

with comfort and protection, while still adding a little touch of style, unlike the other

options offer.

At right around $40, I definitely think this is worth the price if these benefits are what

you're looking for.

Like I mentioned, this goes on in seconds so the install is getting a very easy one

out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter.

First step, you wanna make sure that you clean the armrest pad and make sure there is not

any dirt or oil on the surface.

After you've cleaned the armrest thoroughly, we're gonna go ahead and peel the backing

tape off of it.

Now once you've peeled all the backing tape off, we're gonna go ahead and adhere it to

the center console.

Press firmly down on it and make sure that all sides adhere.

Congratulations, you've now successfully installed your Rugged Ridge Center Console Cover.

Aux Battery Wiring Diagram 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler (Auxiliary Battery Schematic) - Duration: 8:18.

What's going on guys my name is Brandon Haneline your Jeep Informant and today

this video is for the more advanced Jeep enthusiasts we're gonna be going over

wiring diagrams for the stop-start system and the auxiliary battery and all

the components that are connected to that and

see how they're all tied in together. We're gonna be at the computer today

so let's go and get started alright let's go ahead and pull this wiring

diagram up and I want to show you just several key things here right here is

your intelligent battery sensor which is the negative post of the large battery

okay and if you see right here this auxiliary battery here the auxiliary

battery is the negative side is grounded on to the negative side of the large

battery so if you want to disconnect both power sources you're gonna have to

disconnect this ground wire from the negative battery terminal and this the

actual negative battery terminal self or if you want to you can come over to the

side of the side of the fender wheel and there's two grounds there you can take

those grounds off right there which you know this is the grounds for the actual

battery itself so that would be the same as taking them off here so either way

you won't that actually disables you know the battery itself so let's talk

about the positive side of the battery you got you know the large battery goes

down here to the starter and then it powers up this main power dish Power

Distribution Center over here also now over here you've got your your your your

alternator over here okay which or generator now as you can see right here

look this is for the 2-liter okay so the schematic that you're reading is for the

three six and two litres kind of this gives you just a little bit of

information here of the 2-litre we're not going to talk about that right now

that'll be in a totally different one but as you can see here let's zoom in

just a little bit and take a look at this generator is producing you know

we've got a 300 amp fuse we're gonna go through and that's going to be power up

it's gonna come over here and that's gonna charge actually we're skipping

over that and we're going to charge the actual physical battery itself there's

that right there there's your connection I got there

okay as you can see right here that actually the alternator is not connected

to the auxiliary battery not at this point where it is going to be connected

to is if you take a look here you see this I'm gonna scroll down here you see

is it this is a right here okay it's a little a what this is is I'm gonna zoom

back out and show you there's another I'm sorry let's see here this a here and

this a here is connected okay so this comes up and just basically jumps over

here and comes down so when this relay power control is closed okay when this

is closed then and only then if you zoom in from there

relay power control comes down this is this is your 12 volts off your battery

when when this is closed right here this is energized this is closed then guess

what it comes up here there's 150 in fuse and now it's tied into the

alternator is tied into the charging system in there alright let's zoom back

out here

let's take a look at several of the components that this whole system is

going to we got the body control module

right here body control module you know is a very important part of this this is

what controls our stop-start you know it sees a bus signal from a lot of other

components and the body control module makes the decision to to put the vehicle

in a stop-start condition so as you can see the body control module here once

everything is once he's got all of his information comes up here and between

the body control module and the powertrain control module they energize

these two relays and they operate the stop-start system now there's a lot of

inputs that go on here so obviously the the PCM is is a very

important part of this role and here you go again

here's another section of this two-litre so that does not apply to the three six

now if you see these dotted lines right here

okay that is a connector so and you can see here's right here's two sides of the

connector pin six on each side of that connector right there

alright let's zoom back out a little bit

here is your clutch switch there lot that's that plays an important role too

if we have the six-speed manual

we've got your wireless heat mission though that's just gonna this is

basically the startup saying hey you know keys in the ignition

I want to be started and it tells the the rfh hub with the radiofrequency hub

that hey I got a message from the Kin which is K I am which is

ignition note that hey the vehicle must be started up and then obviously the

radiofrequency hub talks to the body control module then bought a control

module to the PCM so all this stuff plays a very very important role here

let's see what's over here on this side integrated center stack switch okay so

all the this right here is your your your buttons on the dash this would

include your auto stop start button if you wanted to disable it

it sends message through the the interior high-speed bus system to the

BCM saying hey he doesn't want this to work so it turns it off and also now

this is not the auxilary switch bank okay that's not this there's four little

switches that is not this this is something else right here this is the

switch bank at the bottom or not the bottom the switch bank that houses the

auto stop start button so don't confuse that with the the four auxilary switches

alright guys if you would like to see the complete auxilary switch wiring

diagrams I want to put a poll up here in the top right corner just click yes or

no and if I get enough yeses then I would be happy to show you that wiring

diagram if you like this kind of information make sure you give me a big

thumbs up also I've got some really good videos coming up here in the next week

or so so make sure you hit that subscribe button with the bell and guys

we'll see you next time have a great day

Jeep Wrangler GraBars BootBars Foot Pegs - Black (2007-2018 JK & JL) Review & Install - Duration: 3:32.

The GraBars, BootBars, Foot Pegs in black are for those of you that have a 2007 and

up JK.

You like to take the doors off of your Jeep and you want somewhere to rest your foot outside

of the vehicle.

There's nothing like driving down the road with the top down, the doors off, and a leg

hanging out, catching some breeze.

And this is going to be a very comfortable spot to place that foot, and a very well-built

foot peg as well.

Some of the foot pegs that you can find, they look like they're just kinda thrown together.

They don't look very nice.

These ones are gonna look very finished off.

And they're gonna be very, very strong.

Of course, you're not standing on this thing.

You're just resting your leg on it.

But this is going to be something that you're never gonna have to worry about it bending

or breaking, which is very, very nice.

This is gonna be a one out of three wrench installation.

They'll bolt directly into that bottom hinge.

No more than five minutes to get them installed and uninstalled.

Although you are going to need some tools for this installation.

We'll talk a little bit more about that in just a second.

So, like I said.

There are gonna be a couple of different foot pegs out there.

If you're looking for something that is pretty simple, but also something that looks finished,

looks well thought out, and is very well-built, I think this is going to be a nice option

for you.

As for construction, these are very, very simple.

There's not a whole lot to say about them.

They're going to be some round bar that has a hole drilled through it.

And that is going to be a stepped hole and that's designed so that your bolt that comes

with this, which is actually a thumb screw on the top, can sit down inside of that.

Again, giving you a really clean and finished look.

Of course, you have this small piece that goes down with the rubber bumper on it, that's

to keep it from marring the paint on your hinge.

And the whole thing is covered with this rubberized finish which makes it a little bit nonslip,

and also makes it nice and comfortable for resting your foot on.

Overall, very, very well-built.

As for the installation one out of three wrenches, like I said, five minutes approximately to

get this installed.

And there is one thing to note about these, they come with hardware.

And they also come with a set of nyloc nuts.

So, these are really designed to be installed and stay on for a period of time.

They are not just going to drop on and pop off quite as easy as some of the other options

out there.

So, if you're somebody who drives with the doors off, for long periods of time, for long

stretches without needing to put the doors back on, these are gonna be a really nice

option.

First, you are going to be removing your front door from your vehicle.

Secure the foot peg to the lower hinge hole using the supplied nut, bolt and washers.

Secure the foot peg using a 5/16 Allen bit and a 14 mm wrench.

These foot pegs are gonna run you right around $60 and I do think that's gonna be pretty

fair for what you're getting here.

It's something that's very high quality.

It looks very well thought out and very finished, as opposed to some of those less expensive,

simpler options.

So, if you're looking for a nice quality set of foot pegs, I definitely recommend these

ones from GraBars.

And you can find them right here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Dick Cepek Extreme Country Tire - 30-35" Diameters (1987-2018 YJ, TJ, JK & JL) Review - Duration: 3:28.

Finding the right tires for your Wrangler can be tricky, since there are a lot of options

on the site, from mud terrains, all-terrains, and street terrain tires.

If you're looking for the best performance off-road in muddy and swampy terrains and

you moderately drive your Jeep on the street, a mud terrain is probably the tire that you'll

be looking for.

This Dick Cepek Extreme Country tire is a great option to check out if you're the avid

off-roader who fits into those categories of wanting great performance off-road, with

an aggressive mud terrain tread that looks just as good as it functions.

The Extreme Country ranges from 30 inches all the way up to 35 inches and it fits 15

through 20 inch wheels for all '87 and up Wranglers.

The Extreme Country has a solid design, with a two-ply, high-tensile body core [SP] that

reinforces the sidewall, keeping things flexible.

Like I mentioned, this tread will work great off-road, but it won't provide the best road

manners, like an all-terrain or a street terrain tire would, and that's because of the very

aggressive tread pattern.

Compared to an all-terrain, the lugs on a mud terrain are spaced out a bit more, which

will make things a little noisier on the street but will provide some great grip and traction

in loose and wet terrains, like sand, mud, and snow.

Also, with more space in the tread, the tread will clean itself out when you're wheeling,

which means if you hit the throttle a little bit, the tire will fling any excess mud or

snow that's stuck in the tire out.

We all know if mud sticks in there between the lugs, it can act like a slick, which is

definitely not beneficial on the trail, so the self-cleaning feature is very helpful.

Like I mentioned, the downfall about the tread on a mud terrain is found in the comfortability

and the road noise while you're on the street.

However, Dick Cepek designed this tire with a tighter inner tread, which will help with

the road manners and ultimately make for a more comfortable and quieter ride on the street.

The Extreme Country does not have as much of an aggressive sidewall as other options.

However, these will still have wide outer voids and shoulder scallops on the side that

will provide extra traction when you're aired down on the trail and they'll help protect

the tire from any debris puncturing the tire on the trail.

Starting at right around $150, the Extreme Country tire is one of our most affordable

mud terrain options.

Mud terrains are a bit pricier than all-terrains or street tires because of the aggressive

tread, the higher strength compound, and the general durability of the tire.

And they can range anywhere from our lowest option, starting at around $110, all the way

up to our most premium options, around $320.

Other higher-priced options, like Mickey Thompson or Nitto, will include thicker ply cord or

even stronger sidewalls.

On the other end of the spectrum, if you were looking for a less expensive choice in a mud

terrain, Mickey Thompson has their Deegan 38, however, it will not be as aggressive

as this one that I have here.

Overall, this will give you great performance with that aggressive look.

So at this price, this Extreme Country is a great option to take into consideration

when shopping for some new shoes.

So if you're looking for an affordable mud terrain for your Wrangler, Dick Cepek has

you covered.

This is Merideth with XT and you can find this tire and everything else Wrangler right

here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Scrambler Pickup Caught In Motion On The Highway - Duration: 3:21.

Jeep Wrangler Scrambler Pickup Caught In Motion On The Highway

Expected to arrive in showrooms in about a year from now.

Crossovers, SUVs, and trucks continue to eat into the sales of cars.

The trend is showing no signs of stopping in the coming years, so a new pickup truck based on the latest Jeep Wrangler should hit the sweet spot.

Rumored to be called "Scrambler," the more utilitarian version has been caught on camera by an Allpar reader out in the open and it was carrying a significant amount of camouflage, though it's not that hard to figure out what was hiding underneath the disguise.

Set to be offered in the double cab body style, the Wrangler pickup truck will carry over not just the regular model's familiar styling, but basically all of the oily bits as well.

A 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 will likely be available with 285 horsepower, as will be an optional turbocharged four-cylinder 20-liter unit rated at 270 hp.

Further down the line, these two could be joined by a turbodiesel 30-liter V6 and even a plug-in hybrid.

The diesel and the electrified powertrain have both been confirmed for the JL, so there's a good chance the pickup (JT) will also benefit from the extended engine lineup.

Expected to arrive at dealerships across the United States in April 2019, the Wrangler "Scrambler" is going to be assembled at Jeep's retooled Toledo factory in Ohio.

In regards to the model's official premiere, it could take place as early as late November during the Los Angeles Auto Show.

The Wrangler pickup truck has been a long time coming, with Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne announcing the model early 2016.

At the beginning of this year, FCA's head honcho said during the Detroit show he expects to move less than 100,000 units per year, adding it's going to be "expensive – intentionally so.".

Jeep Wrangler Rugged Ridge Full Car Cover (1987-2006 YJ & TJ) Review & Install - Duration: 3:36.

If you're looking for full-coverage protection and a little bit of security to your '97 to

'06 TJ, this full-car cover kit by Rugged Ridge will be just for you.

There's a lot of other different covers on the market, but this will offer full-coverage

with your top on or off, to protect your paint from any unexpected weather.

This is even good to throw on the Jeep when it's sitting outside unused to protect the

factory paint from fading, or if the top is off, this will protect your interior from

the sun's harmful UV rays.

Installing this isn't really an install but I'll touch on that in just a moment.

This car cover is a combination of three heavy-duty layers of fabric to protect your TJ.

Rugged Ridge really did a good job at designing this out of breathable polypropylene material

on the outside that will provide really good protection and will keep water and condensation

from forming underneath the cover.

The porous fabric will prevent any mold or mildew from forming and even ice from building

up in the colder months.

On the inside, it has a softer fabric, which is great for laying on your paint, preventing

any scratches or scuffs from getting to the body of your Jeep.

Even though this does not come with a lock and key like another option by Rugged Ridge,

they do, however, include a rope to secure and tie underneath the Jeep.

This makes it perfect so the cover is not blown off in the wind and it's perfect if

you don't have any doors on your Jeep at the time or just trail doors installed, so you

can't just flip up the side of the cover and have access to the inside of the Jeep, which

is a little bit of extra security that we like.

With that, this has an elastic strap on the bottom seam to keep everything snug and in

place.

Not to mention, this is an all-the-time cover that you can throw on over your hard top or

your soft top and it's big enough to fit over light bars, aftermarket fenders and bumpers,

as well as oversized tires.

Like I mentioned, there's a couple of different options for car covers that we offer right

now.

This one lands at right in the middle of the road with price at about a $120.

Covers can range anywhere from $50 to right around $250, depending if you want a full-car

cover or if you're just looking for a cover to protect your cab area.

For a full-car option, we offer a couple by Rugged Ridge that will include a full-car

cover like this with a lock and key as well as a bag.

And then we also have an option by Rugged Ridge for a light weather cover.

If you're looking for a more affordable option and want different options, those will also

be great choices.

However, if you're looking for more than what this cover here offers, Covercraft has a premium

and a deluxe custom fit car cover that will be a little bit of a jump in price, but will

also offer a custom fit, as well as some strong protection and a warranty.

Overall, this is a great choice if you don't need all of the bells and whistles but still

want some good protection at a great price.

Like I mentioned, this isn't much of an install but I still have to rate it and it gets a

one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter from me.

All you have to do is lay the car cover out to make sure it's oriented in the correct

way and throw the cover over the Jeep.

Once everything's positioned correctly, you loop the rope through the holes and tie it

up underneath the Jeep and then you can enjoy your new car cover.

So if you're looking for an affordable full-cover to your '97 to '06 TJ, this is a great option

to check out.

This is Merideth with XT and you can find this and everything else Wrangler right here

at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Rugged Ridge Custom Fabric Front Seat Covers (1997-2002 TJ) Review & Install - Duration: 6:53.

Over time the seats in your TJ can start to look a little rough from normal wear and tear.

To prevent more wear on your factory seats and cover up old stains or rips in your seat

covers, I'd recommend to check out these fabric seat covers from Rugged Ridge.

This set of fitted front seat covers here will add some style and a bit of color to

the interior of your '97 to '02 TJ while creating a comfortable ride with soft fabric in a form-fit

design.

I would like to mention though that these will not fit the '03 to the '06 TJ seats because

of different designs in the seats between years.

Installing these though will be a very easy one out of three wrenches on the difficulty

meter and we'll touch on that in just a moment.

These will be soft and like I mentioned, they'll create a comfortable ride in your Wrangler.

These are made out of the durable poly-cotton material which will protect your factory seats

from any sweat, mud, dirt or any other things that you definitely don't want to stain your

stock seats.

I would like to mention that these are not water resistant or waterproof because of the

material.

However, if you are looking for that option, we do offer neoprene options by Rugged Ridge

that will be water resistant.

These are intended to give a factor look so they will be soft and flexible and they'll

shape around your seats, making them look like they were always meant to be there.

These are also UV treated and they do not absorb heat from the sun so they won't fade

in the sun while you have your top off and when you're getting into the Jeep, you don't

have to worry about burning the back of your legs.

These slip directly over the seats and they're separated in two parts for the best fit.

They attach underneath the seat with mounting points with elastic cords, nylon straps, and

hooks so you can ensure that these won't move around or bug you while you're getting in

and out of the Jeep or while you're driving.

We do also have a couple of other color options like full black as well as black and gray,

as well as options for the '03 to '06 TJ.

So make sure you get the right ones for your Wrangler.

These front seat covers average at the moment around $160.

And I think for what these bring to the table that the price is definitely worth it.

Compared to other options, these have an excellent fit and a snug design for poly-cotton fabric.

Other less expensive options will be made of similar material but they won't provide

the best fit and they're more like a full seat protector with a universal fit so they'll

just slip over the seat.

If you were looking for those neoprene options, we do have them available for about $100 more.

In the long run, if you were looking for a good styling fit and function at a good price,

this option by Rugged Ridge is a good one to take into consideration for your TJ.

And as always, Rugged Ridge backs their products by a five-year limited warranty to keep an

extra peace of mind.

Install is very simple as you can assume, guys.

All you have to do is slip these over and hook them down, taking a couple of minutes.

It gets a one out of three wrenches on the difficultly meter for me, and we'll pull the

Jeep in and show you how to put these on.

So before actually installing the seat covers, I would recommend to move the seat forward

so you have some room to work with and folding this top portion down so you can put the seat

cover through the crease.

So now you're gonna install the bottom portion of the seat. So you're gonna drape the seat cover over the front here and pull this tab

in the back through the crease.

Now you're gonna attach the two buckles underneath the seat making sure that you're not interfering

with the seat functionality, and then you can pull them tight.

Now you're gonna install the top portion by slipping it over and tucking this bottom portion

through the crease of the seat and velcroing it in the back.

All you have to do is repeat on the other side and you're all set.

So if you're looking for some style and protection to your '97 to '02 TJ's factory seats, Rugged

Ridge has your back.

This is Merideth with XT and for everything Wrangler, keep it right here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Rugged Ridge Locking Fuel Door - Black (1997-2006 TJ) Review & Install - Duration: 4:53.

If you're looking to add a little bit of extra security to your TJ as well as some added

exterior style, this Locking Fuel Door by Rugged Ridge will be a great option for you

to check out.

This will be one of those small but noticeable mods that makes your Jeep look a little bit

tougher, and it'll also keep your fuel protected from any unwanted contaminants or any siphoning

thieves.

This will give a little bit of refresh to the body of your '97 to '06 TJ and cover up

any worn factory trim.

Installing this will require tapping into the existing field trim, but it's very simple,

so I have to give it a one out of three wrenches on our difficulty meter, and we'll show you

that in just a minute.

Like I mentioned, this will be a physically small mod, but it'll definitely make a nice

impact in the looks department on your stock TJ, or even a fully modded one.

The fuel door itself is made out of stamped stainless steel.

It has a black finish to protect against any rust or corrosion, which will give this thing

a pretty long life span.

We do have a couple of different finishes and materials that will match any style or

preference, including polished stainless steel, polished aluminum, and black aluminum.

On the outside of the trim, you'll see that it's riveted, and this makes the fuel door

a good match for any V-locked wheels or riveted flares.

The door attaches right over the existing trim, which helps ensure that the new door

sits flush, hiding the old trim.

You won't need to remove the gas cap trim or the tail light in order to install this,

making it a very easy install with those self-tapping screws.

As for the locking mechanism, it's very simple to use.

It even comes with two keys, in case you were to ever lose one.

However, you do have the option to leave this unlocked, if you just wanna have it there

for show, or you don't feel like you need it locked at the time.

If it's unlocked, it will stay closed since it has a spring-loaded closure to prevent

it from swinging open when it's unlocked.

Since there's not much here, this is an inexpensive mod, coming in at right around $70 at the

moment.

This is right in the middle of the road with price when you compare it to all other fuel

doors on the page.

Since this is stainless steel, this will be a little bit lower price than the aluminum

options, and other choices that are less expensive usually don't include this locking feature

and go for around $10 cheaper.

Higher priced options, on the other hand, include the Mopar fuel doors that, of course,

carry a higher price tag, as well as a locking fuel door by RBP that has a higher price because

of the material being aluminum and a stamped RBP logo on the front of the door.

Overall, if you're looking for a fuel door with a simple yet rugged look, a little bit

of security at a good price, this is definitely it.

Installing this is very simple with some minor drilling, which I really wouldn't even call

drilling, so I have to give this one a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter,

taking you a total of five minutes.

Now, I'll pass it over to the installers to show you how it's done.

Today, we're gonna be installing the Rugged Ridge Locking Fuel Door for the Jeep Wrangler

TJ series.

It is a very simple, straight-forward installation with the removal of four screws and the installation

of four new screws.

We're gonna begin with disassembly, and it's just really simple, you're gonna take the

Phillips-head screwdriver and remove the four screws retaining your factory fuel door in

place.

Disassembly's that easy, just the removal of those four screws.

Now, we're not gonna remove the whole factory fuel door.

That stays in place.

The new one will just go right over top of it and be replaced with four brand new fasteners.

You're just going to go ahead and line up the four holes on your new door with your

old one and install the new supplied hardware using the supplied Torx bit tool.

This concludes the installation of our Rugged Ridge Locking Fuel Door.

You can go ahead now and add your key to your regular car key ring and enjoy.

This Rugged Ridge Locking Fuel Door is a great option for you and your '97 to '06 TJ.

This is Merideth with XT, and for everything Wrangler, keep it right here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Barricade Fender Flares (1997-2006 TJ) Review & Install - Duration: 8:26.

These Barricade Fender Flares are gonna be for those of you that have a 1997 to 2006

TJ that are looking to completely change up the look of your Jeep.

These are going to be a fairly involved installation.

In fact, I'm gonna go all the way up to a three out of three install on these because

you do have to do a good bit of cutting on the factory front fenders.

But we'll talk a little bit more about that installation in just a second.

So, there are really two schools of thought when it comes to a fender flare, specifically

a flat fender flare for your Jeep.

Some people think that because this is metal it's going to provide some additional protection

to your Jeep, and that makes a lot of sense.

The other school of thought is that you actually want your fender flares to be a plastic material

or a soft material that's going to bend and flex.

The idea of being that, if you make contact with something off-road or even on-road, you

want the fender flare that's pretty easy and inexpensive to repair to go ahead and flex

and break, if it's going to break.

Whereas, if you have something metal, it can actually transfer an impact into the rest

of the body of the Jeep causing a much more expensive repair.

So it really comes down to your thought process and what sort of fender flare you like on

your Jeep.

If you are considering a metal fender, flare I really do like these ones from Barricade.

There are some others out there that are going to be a little bit more expensive, and they're

really not going to have a lot more features over what these have.

I think these give your Jeep a really nice look.

One thing to note is that these are not going to provide a ton of additional uptravel to

your Jeep.

Now, if you have a set of factory fender flares as you're articulating and you're flexing

off-road, the tire may come in contact with a fender flare, but that's not really limiting

your articulation.

These being a flat flare are gonna get rid of that contact, but, again, not really adding

a ton of additional articulation.

In fact, up front, Jeep has notched out the metal to give you the maximum amount of travel

of that front axle.

And by adding this where it has a solid tube that runs all the way across the front of

this front fender, you may actually lose just a little bit of uptravel.

Again, if you are looking at a set of fender flares though, I do like these ones, I think

they're well put together, they're strong.

I like the coating on them and they are going to be a pretty good price.

These flares are made of steel.

Up front here, you're going to have 2 inch, round tube that is 0.12 into wall thickness.

The flat stock here is three sixteenth's inch steel, so you are going to get a good bit

of strength from these flares.

They're gonna be covered in that textured black powder coating that's going to match

a lot of the factory plastic accents on your Jeep, as well as a lot of other aftermarket

accessories that you may have bolted on your Jeep.

So they're going to match and they're going to fit in very well.

Like I said before, the installation of these is going to be a little bit of a difficult

one because of all the cutting that's required, but that's not specific to this set of metal

fender flares.

That's pretty much universal across all metal fender flares.

And you can always take your Jeep to a shop if you'd rather have them install these.

One other thing that some other manufacturers do include on their front metal flares that

these ones are not going to is a marker light or a solution to your lack of marker light

once you get rid of that factory fender flare.

Now, there is a small hole drilled in this gusset in the front flare here.

You can go ahead and fill that with an LED marker light.

You can get creative.

There are certainly a lot of solutions to this problem.

However, you do know that that's something you're going to need in order to stay legal

and stay safe, and that's not something that's included in the box when you purchase these

flares.

So I've mentioned a couple times, this is a bit of an involved install.

We're gonna have somebody from the installation team show you exactly how to get these bolted

onto your TJ.

First step, we're gonna remove the stock fender flares using an 8 millimeter ratchet wrench.

Unplug the core marker and remove the fender flare from the vehicle.

Next, remove the 3, 13 millimeter balls that connect the fender to the grill.

Next, remove the four rear fenderwell bolts.

Next, create a template or use a sharpie and measure out your fender.

There's a small metal piece protruding upward right next to the OE headlight.

That will be your starting point.

From that point towards the outer edge, the OE fender will be five and three-eighths inches

long.

Mark it with a marker.

Now, 12 inches down from your previous mark, come 4 inches out and make another mark.

Now, from the 4-inch mark, go 8 inches further down and come two and three-sixteenths out,

and make another mark.

And lastly, from the two and three-sixteenths mark, go 11 inches further down and come three-eighths

of an inch out and make your final mark.

If you've marked your fender out, using a die grinder, cut the fender.

Remove the four rear fender bolts and remove the rest of the fender.

Once you're done cutting all the old fender off, you can begin installing your new fender

flare.

Use the supplied hardware 4/13-millimeter bolts on the rear side of the fender.

Install the fender using the previously removed 13-millimeter bolts upfront.

Next, using a 5/16 drill bit, drill out the 5 holes on the top of the fender, and use

the supplied hardware.

Next, using a 3/8 drill bit, drill up from underneath of the fender of the factory hood

latch location hole.

Next, install the factory hood latch.

After you're done installing the rest of your hardware, your installation of front fender

is complete and you can do the exact same thing on the opposite side of the vehicle.

Using an 8-millimeter wrench, remove the 8 bolts that secure the factory flare to the

vehicle.

After removing the factory fender flare, you might have to grind some of the old nut

out of the way so the new provided hardware will fit.

Next, line up your new fender flare and install it using the provided hardware.

After you're finished tightening your hardware for the fender flare, repeat the same steps

for the opposite side of the vehicle, and then your installation is complete.

These flares are available in individual sets.

You can get either just the fronts or just the rears.

But what we're talking about here today is the set of all 4, and these are gonna run

you right around $500.

I do think that's gonna be a pretty good deal for what you're getting, especially when you

compare them to some of the other metal flares that are out there on the market.

Some of those other flares will include a couple of other features, mainly, the marker

light in the front corner.

If that's something that's really important to you, maybe take a look at one of those

other brands.

But if you are looking for a way to save a little bit of money and still get a very high-quality

option, I would definitely recommend these.

So, if you're looking for a quality and inexpensive set of metal fender flares for you TJ, I definitely

recommend taking a look at this option from Barricade, and you can find it right here

at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler TruShield All Weather Floor Mat Set (1987-2018 YJ, TJ, JK & JL) Review & Install - Duration: 2:43.

If you're looking for a very affordable solution to keeping the dirt off of your Wrangler's

carpets, these TruShield all-weather floor mats will be right up your alley.

Getting the Jeep dirty is fun but it can be tough work getting your carpets clean if you

track mud in after a good day of wheeling.

This kit by TruShield will come with the front and the rear floor mats for your '87 and up

Wrangler.

They're a universal fit and will be a great, easy option for some interior protection,

not to mention, a little bit of added style.

Install is effortless, as you guys can probably imagine, and I'll tell you more about it in

just a moment.

Like I mentioned before, these mats will be for the '87 and up Wrangler and are not formed

specifically to fit any model.

These do, however, do a great job at coverage, and if you wanted a more fitted feel, you

can trim accordingly with the ribbed outlines on the sides of the mats.

These are a rubberized material so they'll be flexible and very easy to trim.

They also come in a black finish as well, to allow them to really match any interior.

On the face of the mat, there are those outlines or guidelines, where you can trim the mat.

But they also have a diamond-plated design in the center, which will add some extra style,

as well as a textured surface where dirt and mud and debris will stick.

On the bottom of the mats, they will have rubber nibs to stick into the carpet and prevent

it from sliding around when you're driving or just getting in and out of the Jeep.

Like I mentioned, this will be the most affordable rubber floor mat option on the site right

now, at about $60.

Other less expensive options will include carpeted floor mats or options for just the

front or just the rear pair.

With this kit, you're getting some options with the front and the back, as well as being

able to trim them to your personal preference and fit.

Other more expensive options will not have any trimming involved and will be specifically

designed to your model and to your year range, as well as include options for a rear cargo

mat.

Overall, for $60, it gets the job done.

This is a solid option.

There's really no install on this but I have to rate it and it gets the softest, one out

of three wrenches on the difficulty meter.

All you have to do is lay them in, adjust them where you want them positioned, and if

you're not a fan of the fitment, you can take a sharp box cutter or a knife to trim the

edges.

So if you're looking for the most affordable option to front and rear floor mats for your

Wrangler, this is it.

This is Merideth with XT, and you can find this kit and everything else Wrangler, right

here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Dick Cepek Extreme Country Tire 30 in. to 35 in. (1987-2018 TJ, YJ, JK & JL) Review - Duration: 4:06.

This Dick Cepek Extreme Country Tire is going to be for those of you that have a 1987 all

the way up to the current year Wrangler and are looking for a nice big mud-terrain tire

that's going to give you maximum traction off-road, and also in some of those on-road

situations when you have snow, ice, and things of that nature.

This tire is going to be available in a variety of sizes from a 30-inch tire up to a 35-inch

tire, fitting a wheel that is either 15 inches all the way up to a 20-inch wheel.

So, again, a lot of variability there in size and also in cost.

This is going to be a tire that has all those normal things that you look to find in a mud-terrain

tire.

It's going to have some big knobby lugs that are going to be self-cleaning, this is going

to have some siping to help that tire move, and flex, and really grab on to whatever terrain

you're driving over.

It also has some of the tread down on to the sidewall here, giving some additional sidewall

grip, also giving the sidewall a little bit more strength so it's gonna be a little more

puncture resistant.

And that's also going to add to the look of the tire as well.

One thing to note about this tire is this is a two-ply sidewall, where some of the other

tires out there are going to be three-ply.

Those are going to offer a little bit more sidewall strength for you.

That is one of the ways that this tire keeps the cost down a little bit over some of the

others.

So, it really does depend on the type of terrain that you wheel in, and what you're looking

for out of your tire.

So like I said, a mud-terrain tire is going to have these knobby lugs with big spaces

in between, and that's designed to clean the tire out.

If you're in a mud situation, you can end up with a bunch of mud caked on to your tire

and the tire essentially becomes a slick and it's not going to give you any traction at

all.

So, get a little bit of wheel speed up, this is designed to eject that mud out, giving

you your grip back, giving you those claws back again.

Again, this siping, that's going to be the little cuts that are in this tire, and that's

designed to help the tire be more pliable.

When you air this tire down especially, and you're off-road, the tire is going to be able

to move, bend, and flex, giving you the maximum contact patch on the ground, which is of course,

going to give you the maximum amount of traction.

If you are looking for a tire that's going to have the strongest sidewall out there,

three-ply is kind of the industry standard for the most strength you can get from the

sidewall.

Again, this is going to be two-ply, help keep the cost down a little bit, and if you're

somebody who doesn't need that additional sidewall strength, this is going to be a better

option for you.

As for installation, this is gonna be, of course, something you take to a tire shop,

have them mount and balance the wheel and tire package for you, and then install it

on your jeep.

Don't be surprised if you are installing a very large mud-terrain, a 33, a 35, that the

shop may or may not balance your tire right out of the box.

A lot of shops won't even waste their time balancing that.

They'll let you drive around for about 500 miles or so because a lot of rubber is going

to fling off that brand new tire, then they'll have you come back and they'll balance the

tire out for you.

Now, of course, we've all seen videos of people mounting tires in their driveway.

Unless you are installing a set of beadlocks where it's a multi-piece wheel, I wouldn't

recommend it, definitely something better left to the professionals.

The less expensive versions of this tire are going to be around $140, and the more expensive

up around $290, and that is of course going to depend on the size of the tire itself but

also the wheel.

The larger the wheel, the more expensive the tire, in most cases.

So, depending on the wheels that you're looking to mount, the size of the tire that you're

looking to go with, this like any other tire, is going to vary a bit in price.

This is going to be a little bit less than some of the other tires that we talked about,

again, because this is a two-ply sidewall instead of a three.

So if you're looking for a quality mud-terrain tire that's gonna be a little bit less expensive

than some of the other options out there, I would recommend going with this option from

Dick Cepek, and you can find it right here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler J Tops USA Safari Mesh Top - Shiny Gray (2007-2018 JK 4 Door) Review & Install - Duration: 7:23.

If you're looking for one of the most well-built mesh tops on the market right now, J Tops

USA has your back when it comes to keeping your whole interior cool and avoiding any

sunburn while enjoying having no top on your Jeep.

This full mesh sunshade will make sure that you and your dash stay protected from those

harmful UV rays without flapping around at highway speeds thanks to bungee-free tension

strap design.

This is a piece of cake to get on and I call it a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty

meter and I'll get more into the details in just a moment.

The shiny grey material of this top will definitely make your Jeep stand out and it won't absorb

heat since it's a lighter color.

This is also offered in black, white, red, and blue, as well as a couple of different

variations of the good old American flag for the four-door versions.

This mesh top is UV protected and it's pretty opaque for a mesh top.

So you really get that full effect of 80% of UV protection.

The reason behind the higher UV protection is that it's PVC coated to create that barrier

between you and the sun.

Not only is the mesh UV protected from the sun, but the two inch webbing reinforcement

and all the straps all around are UV resistant as well.

The top reaches all the way to the sides of your cab, leaving no room for extra sun to

come through.

And the straps on this keep it tight enough so that when you drive on the highway you

won't experience any flapping around like some other options may cause.

Speaking of the straps, this attaches with no extra components needed, which is a feature

that I really like about this mesh top.

This has heavy duty buckles and hooks and straps to attach it to the windshield frame

and then all the way around the roll bars.

Most other tops have either bungee cords that stretch out and won't hold up over time, unlike

these tough military grade straps.

Since there's no extra hardware needed to install this top, this is gonna fit under

your soft top or hard top and won't interfere with the top or the function at all, making

it very convenient so whenever you remove your top, you're ready to go.

J Tops USA is one of the leaders in the industry for top accessories because of their well-known

quality.

Their tops are highly rated and you can see it even in the customer reviews on this one

in particular.

This top is a higher priced option and because of that, it comes in at around $200 for the

full shade mesh cover.

The higher price on this is definitely worth it if you're looking to keep your top off

a lot in the summer months and use this frequently while staying different than everybody else.

Not to mention with the compatibility of each top, you never really have to take this thing

off.

There are a couple other higher priced options by J Tops USA that will keep the same quality,

but will come with that custom print of the good old American flag like I talked about

before for about $100 extra.

The other less expensive options will range right around $50-$150, but some of those options

will require extra hardware, jumping the price up a bit, or they will include different materials

and different attachment points like bungee cords that may not hold up as well in the

long run.

Overall, if you're looking for a very unique mesh top that will definitely hold up in the

long run, J Tops USA has you covered, literally speaking.

And they also include a five-year limited warranty that comes with their mesh tops so

you can have a sense of security with your investment.

This one is one of the easiest mesh tops to install and it goes on in minutes.

I have to give this a very easy one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter.

This is gonna take you around 10 minutes worth of your time and you're not gonna need any

hand tools for this one.

First step, we're gonna lay this top out over top.

J Tops has a built-in bar with hooks on the front and they latch on to the front footman

loops.

And now that we have the front attached, we're gonna go ahead and attach the sides.

Unlatch the buckles.

Then we're gonna wrap them around the roll bar.

Click them back in.

Can snug them up but don't pull them tight just yet.

We're gonna do the same thing for the opposite side.

We wanna lift this locking tab up that way you can loosen them.

Disconnect them, give a little slack, pull them around.

Click them in, pull them tight, and then click that locking tab back down.

Once you get to the back one, you wanna go down and under the seat belt.

You wanna click that on and that'll keep that nice and tight front to back.

Once you have all the side ones on, we're gonna go ahead and get this rear one clicked

together.

Once again, you wanna go around the roll bar.

And then we'll pull that tight and lock it shut.

Click it together.

Pull it nice and tight, lock it.

So once you have all the straps on, we're gonna go ahead and just tighten them all up

and adjust as needed.

There's magnets in the middle which stick to the roll bar and keep it from flapping

around.

Congratulations, you've now completed the install of the J Tops USA Safari mesh top.

Jeep Wrangler JKS Jspec 2.5" Lift Kit (2007-2018 JK 2 Door) Review & Install - Duration: 22:59.

This JKS Jspec 2.5 inch lift kit is for those of you who have a 2007 and up four-door JK

and are looking for a 2.5 inch lift kit that's very well-built and also very complete.

Now, the J-control version of this lift kit is going to be more expensive.

It's also going to include some additional components like some control arm brackets

to help correct for your pinion and your caster angle in the front of your jeep, where this

kit is not going to have that.

So, can you run 2.5 inches of lift without any sort of caster and pinion correction?

Yes, if you decide you do want to run some sort of pinion or caster correction, you can

always add a set of control arm brackets or get a set of adjustable control arms which

will also add some articulation to your Jeep.

We'll talk a little bit more about that in just a second.

A kit like this that's at 2.5 inches is going to be for those of you who want to run roughly

a 35-inch tire, still have some room to flex.

That's going to be a combination that looks really good, but also works very well on-road

and off-road.

Now, the JKS does provide, like I said before, a very well-built, well-put together lift

kit that does include a set of Fox shocks.

And even though these aren't the top of the top of the line Fox shocks, this is still

going to drive the price of this lift kit up a little bit.

So, when you're looking at JKS, you should expect a well-built, fairly complete kit,

however, you are going to pay a little bit more because of the quality of the components

that are included.

This is going to be a two out of three wrench installation that will take you around three

hours to get done.

We'll talk a little bit more about that in just a second.

This kit includes a set of four new coil springs which are going to provide those 2.5 inches

of lift, and these are going to be a dual rate coil spring.

Now, there's much debate about what is best, a linear, dual rate, triple rate or a progressive

rate spring.

The dual rate that come in this kit are going to provide a fairly comfortable ride when

you're at ride height, but also a slightly stiffer spring when you do get down too close

to a coil bind situation, so they're going to be good for off-road as well as on-road.

As I said, this does come with a set of Fox shocks for that new taller ride height.

These are going to be the Fox Adventure Series 2.0 shocks.

Now, these aren't going to be the T6061 aluminum that the higher end Fox shocks are.

These are going to be an alloy that are covered in a powdered coat finish instead of just

a clear anodized finish, but either way, they're still going to provide a really nice ride.

These are going to be a nitrogen-charged shock, and the nitrogen-charged inline shock is there

to eliminate any sort of bubbling or cavitation that you can get in the shock fluid when you

work that shock really hard over time.

Working a shock over a long period of time or hitting some higher speed washboards can

cause some shock fade, and the nitro shock will have a lot less of that, help to eliminate

any kind of shock fade.

Now, in general, a nitro shock will ride harder than a hydro shock, but most of the ride quality

does come down to valving, and that's something that Fox does really well.

So you're still going to be in a comfortable ride from these shocks while still getting

the benefits of that nitrogen charge.

Here, you have a front track bar that comes in this lift kit.

This is going to be an adjustable track bar that's much stronger than the factory bar.

The factory track bar can start to flex when you get a larger tire on your Jeep.

This is going to give you zero flex so you're not going to have any wobble-type feeling.

And this is, of course, adjustable, so you can fully center that front axle underneath

the Jeep.

Over here, you're going to have a rear track bar bracket.

This doesn't provide you with quite as much adjustability as some of the other ones out

there.

You're not going to be able to change the roll center.

It doesn't give you three different positions for mounting your track bar.

However, it is a very well-built, very stout track bar that's going to get the job done,

moving the mounting point up a little bit, flattening out the track bar angle and working

very well to get you back on the road again.

Over here, you have a set of JKS Quicker Disconnects for the front of your JK after you get the

lift installed, and I really like these sway bar disconnects.

These are going to be adjustable so you can get the length exactly where you want it,

and you can disconnect these from not just one side, but both sides, allowing you to

completely remove them and throw them in the Jeep as opposed to some of the others that

just allow you to disconnect from one side and then fold them up out of the way.

These are also going to be greasable.

They fit very tight so you're not going to get any rattles, and because they are greasable

and made of high quality materials, they're going to last you a good, long time.

The kit is also going to include all the hardware necessary to get it installed, as well as

some brake line relocation brackets that are going to be necessary to ensure you don't

pull the brake line taut when you're off-road.

This is a $1,200 lift kit and a lot of that cost does come from the Fox shocks.

Fox does make a premium product.

They do charge a little bit more for them.

And even though these aren't Fox's top of the line shocks, they are going to be more

expensive than some of the other kits out there that have a more no-name style shock

with them.

But, you're not just paying for the shocks with this, you are getting a lot of components

and you're getting a lot of high quality components from JKS which are going to make this lift

kit ride really well and last a long time.

So, in my opinion, this is worth the $1,200 price tag.

This is going to be a two out of three wrench installation that will take you around three

hours to get done.

This isn't a kit that includes control arm so you're not going to have to do that additional

work, which will cut down on the time a little bit.

You're going to want to have a socket set and some wrenches handy, of course, some jack

and some jack stands.

If you have access to a lift in either pneumatic tools or electric tools, it will definitely

speed the process along, and I always recommend to bring all of the applicable nuts and bolts

with a good penetrating oil well before you get started.

That time spent is going to pay dividends in the end, speeding up your installation.

Now that we've got the Jeep in the air, we're going to remove the wheels.

We're going to start off by supporting the rear axle with a pole jack.

Then we're going to move on to removing the shocks, the track bar, the springs, and the

sway bar end links.

Using an 18-millimeter socket and wrench, we can remove our lower shock bolt.

Using a 16-millimeter socket and a long extension, we can unbolt the upper shock mount bolts.

Next, we're going to remove the lower sway bar link bolts using an 18-millimeter socket

and wrench.

Next, we're going to remove the lower track bar bolt.

Next, we're going to remove the E-brake bracket.

And I'm going to let this hang.

Next, we'll use a 10 millimeter and remove the brake line bracket.

Next, we can lower our pole jacks down to lower the rear and remove the stock springs.

So, first step for the rear installation is we're going to bolt our bump stop extenders

to the rear, using the blocks provided and the provided hardware pack.

Using two 13-millimeter wrenches, we can tighten these up.

Next, we need to drill some new holes for our lower sway bar end links, to accommodate

the new lift.

So, we need to measure up an inch-and-a-quarter from the center of the factory hole.

Make a mark, and we need to drill a half-inch hole.

Next, we can mount our track bar relocation bracket.

And this spacer about through here.

We're going to use the factory bolt and nut tab for the bottom portion of the track bar

bracket.

Next, we can bolt up the support bracket.

And now we can loosely install our E-bolt.

We can go back and tighten everything up now.

Next, we're going to tighten up the two E-bolt nuts with the 19 millimeter socket.

And you want to do this evenly, so don't tighten one side all up at once.

Do a little bit on one side and swap to the other side.

Now that we have our track bar bracket installed, we can begin by putting our shocks in.

And then we'll move on to the springs and we're going to attach our sway bar end links,

and put our brake line drop brackets in.

Next we're going to install our new springs and we're going to reuse the factory spring

isolator for the top.

Next, we can reconnect our sway bar end links.

Next, we're going to install the rear brake line drop brackets.

We use the factory hardware for the upper bolt.

We're going to use the supplied hardware for the bottom hole.

The top bolt's a 10 millimeter, bottom bolt is an 11 millimeter.

Next, we're going to start off by removing the lower shock bolts using an 18-millimeter

socket and wrench.

Next, we can move on to removing the sway bar end links, 18-millimeter socket and wrench.

Next, we can remove the lower track bar bolt.

And remove the upper track bar bolt next, and completely remove the front track bar.

Next, we can remove our brake line bracket to make room for the brake line bracket extender.

Next, we can lower the front diff a little bit, and we can pull our springs out.

Next, using a 16-millimeter ratchet wrench, we're going to disassemble the top portion

of the shock.

Next, we need to drill a hole in our spring perch so we can add a bump stop extension.

I'm going to install the spring with the bump stop spacer loose.

It will be less distance.

I have to compress the spring and make it easier for installation.

And once we get the spring in, then we can bolt our bump stop spacer in place.

Next up, we're going to be installing our new Fox shocks.

Using a 19-millimeter wrench, we're going to tighten up the top shock now.

Next, we're going to install our front brake line and drop brackets.

Next, we're going to install our Quick Disconnect sway bar end links.

Be sure to tighten the jam nut.

We can now reattach our lower shock bolts.

Last but not least, we're going to install our front track bar.

We can get our pole jacks out of here, and we've successfully installed the JKS lift

kit.

Make sure to get your vehicle aligned, and after 500 miles of driving, double check all

your bolts that were previously loosened.

So, if you're looking for a high quality 2.5 inch lift kit, I definitely recommend the

JKS Jspec 2.5 inch that you can find right here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Rugged Ridge Deluxe Complete Carpet Kit - Black (1997-2006 TJ) Review & Install - Duration: 31:52.

There comes a time in a TJ where things wear out and need a little bit of restoration.

Carpets are one of those areas that can get worn out very quick from stepping on them

all the time and getting beat up throughout the years.

This Deluxe Carpet Kit by Rugged Ridge will be a great solution to replace the carpets

in your '97 to '06 TJ and give a refresh to your interior.

Now, this install will be complex at a three out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter,

but we'll show you all about that in just a minute.

This carpet will be specifically cut to your TJ and comes with five pieces for the front,

the rear, the center, and the fender well covers.

These are made of polypropylene carpet material that will be more durable than the stock carpet

and will fold up to be mildew and chemical solvent resistant.

These are even jute back, which is very common for carpets all around, not just specific

to the interior of your car.

These specific carpets are black, however, we do also offer options in grey, as well

as honey, to match all color interiors of the TJ.

This option will not come with the adhesive, keeping the price lower.

However, if you do need the adhesive to attach this to the inside of your TJ, we have that

option available as well.

Like I mentioned, this will be your least expensive option for carpet for your TJ, coming

in at around $220.

Because this will not come with any adhesive to attach the carpets inside of the Jeep,

this will be at that lower price.

Those more expensive options that you do see on the page will be for the Rugged Ridge options

that come with the adhesive, as well as options that will be specifically cut for the earlier

generation TJs, making them a bit more custom, explaining a little bit of price job.

Overall, this is gonna be your most affordable option if you need to renew the carpet in

your TJ.

Install will be a strong three out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter.

And if you don't have any experience with putting carpeting and this type of install,

I would recommend taking your Jeep to a professional.

We, however, will show you how to do it once we pull our Jeep in the shop.

In order to install the carpet, you need to remove the rear seats to get to the original

carpet.

And we're gonna start with the backseat here.

The rear seat is gonna have two pins on each side of the bracket, so you're gonna have

to release the pin on each side and move the seat back and forth in order to remove it.

So in order to access the bolts on the front seats to remove them, you need to tumble your

seats forward if you have that feature.

There is gonna be a lever underneath the seat.

So to remove the back two bolts from the seat, to remove it, you're gonna need a 13-millimeter

socket and a T50 Torx.

So now, you're gonna take your 13-millimeter socket and a ratchet to remove the 2 front

bolts holding the seat bracket in.

You might have to use some PB B'laster or WD-40 if the bolts are a little bit rusty.

Once they're removed, you can remove the seat.

So if you have any electrical connections underneath the seat, you're gonna have to

unclip those before removing the actual seat.

So we have to remove the center console.

So we have 2 10-millimeter bolts right here.

And then in the inside of the console, there are 2 1/2-inch bolts we have to remove.

And up here, underneath the shifter there's another 10-millimeter bolt.

So, since the bolts are at the bottom, we're using this long extension.

If you don't have a long extension, you can just use the deep socket, 1/2-inch, and a

1/4-inch drive.

Because we have a toughy center console, we're gonna have to completely disassemble this

to remove it.

If you do have a stock center console, all it is is one screw inside the actual center

compartment.

And then you can remove the rest of the screws or the bolts and remove it like that.

So in order to remove the console, you need to move the four-wheel drive lever all the

way back as well as the shifter.

And you need to remove the top of the shifter so we can get this piece off.

So you have to remove this jack underneath your passenger seat if your Jeep came equipped

with one.

And all you have to do is depress the jack in order to wiggle it out of the bracket.

And then you can fully remove it, and this as well.

So in order to remove the fender well piece of the carpet, you have 2 10-millimeter bolts

here.

And then you have a bracket here for your seat and the seatbelt bolt.

You need a T50 and a T40 to remove those torx bolts.

Now that everything holding the carpet in is removed, we can actually remove the carpet.

At the front, there's gonna be a couple of pop clips.

All you have to do is just pop them out, and you're good.

So now, with the old carpet removed, obviously, you can tell that it left a lot behind.

And so now you're just gonna have to clean everything up to make sure that the new adhesive

sticks in well.

So now, what we're gonna do is we're gonna size everything up.

We're gonna lay the old carpet on top of the new carpet and make some marks for all of

our cutouts.

So what we're gonna do now is take all the old carpeting section by section and place

it over the new carpeting so we can make all of our holes for the cutout.

So once everything's clean, you're gonna start by installing the two fender well covers.

You're gonna spray the back of the carpet with the adhesive and then just slide it into

place.

So after you have the fender well covers on, you're gonna move to the large back section.

I would recommend putting it in place so it goes over the seatbelt covers.

And then you can fold half of the carpet back, spray it down with adhesive and adhere it

that way, and then move on to the other side.

So now, we can install the center portion.

And I would recommend to do the same thing as we did with the back center portion just

to lay everything down so it fits and lines up correctly.

And then you can fold half of it back, spray it down, and attach one half, and then do

the same thing with the other side.

I would recommend to make sure all your wiring is out of the way, because we can poke it

through the carpet at the end.

So now that everything's lined up, we can pull it back and spray it down.

So as we're laying the front piece of the carpet in, the ECU was never tucked underneath

the OEM carpet.

What we're gonna do for the best fit is to remove that and then bolt it through this

carpet.

So now that the ECU is unbolted, we're gonna lay the carpet in and get it fitted, and then

we're gonna adhere it down.

So the carpet's gonna be unfinished on this bottom portion of the front piece, and we're

gonna end up tucking it underneath the center piece.

So what we have done is we've left all of the edges unattached so we can access the

bolt holes for all of our stock hardware.

What I'm doing now is I'm just cutting a slit for this wire to fit through the carpet.

Now, we're gonna spray the back of the carpet and get everything attached.

So once the carpet's in and installed, we can go back and install all of our stock hardware

to hold in our seats as well as the seatbelts.

I'd recommend to get all of your hardware started and then go and take everything down

at the end.

So now, we can reinstall the ECU.

On this side of the carpet, it's not gonna be covered up.

On the other side, it is, so I would recommend bolting up the driver's side first so you

can have everything lined up.

Now that all of our stock brackets are installed, we're ready to reinstall the center console.

Now, we're ready to reinstall our front seats.

And now we're ready to put our passenger seat in.

And now we're ready to reinstall our rear seat.

Now, all you have to do is fold your backseat down and feed the seatbelts through.

If there's any edges that need a little bit more adhesive, you can attach those now.

And then you're all set.

So if you're looking for an affordable way to refurbish the inside of your '97 to '06

TJ, Rugged Ridge has you covered.

I'm Merideth, and you can find this and everything Wrangler right here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Barricade Vision Rear Bumper & Tire Carrier with LED (2007-2018 JK) Review & Install - Duration: 6:39.

This Barricade Vision Series Rear Bumper with LED Work Lights is for those of you that have

a 2007 to 2018 JK that are looking for a bumper to add a lot of function and some form to

the back of your Jeep and also get that big, heavy spare tire off the factory mount, which

can cause quite a few issues that we'll touch on in just a second.

Now, I am gonna give this bumper installation a two out of three wrenches.

The bumper itself bolts right onto your Jeep very, very easily, but because there is a

tire carrier, there's a little bit of assembly to do here, and there's also going to be a

little bit of cut and splicing to do in order to get these lights working properly.

So, again, two out of three wrenches, and we'll talk a little bit more about that in

just a second.

So when you are talking about a spare tire that gets mounted on your bumper, you're gonna

solve a couple of different problems.

When you try and mount a big spare on that factory location, you're gonna run into a

couple of issues, and one is room.

The tire can actually make contact with the bumper when you try and open and close the

tailgate, so physically you just don't have enough room to run a big tire in that factory

location.

Two, your tailgate hinges can start to wear to the point where you have to lift up on

the tailgate every time you open it and close it.

That can also cause some noise.

The welds on the tailgate can actually break, again, causing some rattling.

And, finally, the spare tire mount that comes on your Jeep from the factory is only designed

for the weight of a factory spare tire.

When you put a big, heavy spare on there, that metal can actually fatigue and break

over time.

So in order to fix all three of those problems, you're really looking at one of two different

solutions.

One is a nice, heavy-duty, tub-mounted tire carrier, or, two, something like this, which

is a bumper-mounted tire carrier.

And a lot of you guys really like the way that this looks and the way that this functions.

So if you are looking for a bumper-mounted tire carrier that has some extra features

built into it, like the D-ring recovery points here and also these LED reverse lights, I

think this is going to be a really nice choice at a pretty fair price.

This is really going to come to you as two pieces with also a bunch of other stuff that

you need to make everything work together.

So the one main piece, of course, is the bumper.

This is pretty much one piece here.

You're going to have a separate piece that you could unbolt if you wanted to here that's

going to be the surround for your light and then your light itself.

Those are going to be right here flanking either side of the bumper, and that's gonna

give you a nice bright flood beam behind you when you turn on those reverse lights, or

if you decided to wire these in a different way, you could, and that's going to make it

a lot easier to back up your Jeep, especially at night, especially if you have some tinted

windows.

You guys know when you put a big spare tire, even if you mount it as low as possible on

the spare tire mount, it's still a little bit tough to see out that back window.

So this is going to make it a lot easier and a lot safer for you to back up.

Of course, it does have these D-ring mounts, and this also comes with D-rings right in

the box, which is a pretty nice feature, so you're gonna have those for any recoveries

that you might need to do.

Now, the tire carrier is a place where I feel like this setup really shines.

There are a lot of tire carriers out there that don't have all the features that this

one has.

Now, one of the features that I'm talking about is the ability to adjust your tire up

and down, and we just touched on that a little bit just a second ago.

So if you're only running maybe a small 35-inch tire, you wanna be able to mount that as low

as possible so you can still get the maximum view out that back window, So you have a nice

deep cutout in the bumper, and you have the adjustability to lower that tire down as far

as it'll go, again giving you the max view out that back window.

Now, maybe more important than the up and down adjustability is the in and out adjustability.

You want that tire to be tight up against this tire carrier, that way it can't torque

and rattle around, which can fatigue the metal, which can cause some noise, some undue wear

and vibration.

So, again, making sure that tire's nice and tight up against the tire carrier is important,

and this has the adjustability to allow you to do that.

Now the third thing is that you want the tire carrier to be nice and tight up against the

body of the Jeep.

Again, that's going to eliminate any rattling and any additional metal fatigue.

So this actually has two bumpers that mount here and here, and they're designed to go

right up against the factory tailgate snubbers, keeping everything nice and tight, and, again,

they're adjustable as well.

So I think this tire carrier is very well-thought-out from an adjustability standpoint.

From the standpoint of the actual spindle, it's going to have a couple of bearings in

there, which is going to make it easier and give it a longer life than some of the other

options.

Some of them are just a steel tube over a steel dowel, essentially.

This is going to have a bearing system inside of it, again, making things easier for you

to open and close, even when you have a big 37-inch spare tire on this tire carrier, which

is the maximum.

So, between the adjustability of the tire carrier, the recovery points, the reverse

lights, the style of this bumper, I think that this bumper has a lot going for it in

terms of both form and function.

I'll give this installation a two out of three wrenches, and the process should take you

right around two hours or so.

And it's only getting a two out of three wrenches because of the little bit of wiring that's

necessary to get those LED work lights wired up and working.

So the first step in the install is going to be removing that factory rear bumper, which

you'll do by simply unbolting it from your frame rails and removing it from the Jeep.

After that you can bolt the new rear bumper onto the Jeep and then go ahead and attach

the tire carrier.

The tire carrier is going to slide over the spindle, then you'll actually attach the tire

mount onto the tire carrier and make the adjustments to ensure that your tire stays nice and tight

up against the carrier and the carrier rests tightly up against the tailgate.

Once that process is finished, you can go ahead and wire up those LED work lights.

Now those are going to get wired either to a switch on the dashboard, or you can wire

them directly into the reverse light circuit on your Jeep so they come on automatically

when you put the Jeep in reverse.

This bumper/tire carrier combination comes in at $850.

Now, that certainly isn't the most expensive bumper and tire carrier combination that's

out there.

There are some that are more expensive.

I think that this one's actually very fairly priced for what you're getting.

I just went over all the features that are packed into this bumper, from the adjustability

of the tire carrier, to the D-ring, to the reverse lights, the style that this bumper

provides, the fact that it's completely bolt-on.

This bumper has a lot going for it, and I think for the $850 price tag, it's actually

a very fair price.

There are bumpers out there that cost the same or more and don't give you all of the

features that this one does.

So if you're looking for a rear bumper and tire carrier combination that is packed full

of features and priced very fairly, I think this is going to be an excellent choice for

you, and you can find it right here at extremeterrain.com.

Jeep Wrangler Rugged Ridge 1.75" Spacer Lift - Shocks (2007-2018 JK) Review & Install - Duration: 11:10.

When it comes to giving your '07 to '18 JK Unlimited a little boost in appearance and

performance, there are ton of lift kit options.

Lift kits can range anywhere from just a half-inch to a big six-inches of lift with a bunch of

choices in height and components in between.

If you were just looking for a little bit of boost to squeeze in a bigger tire and you

wanted to upgrade the performance and the comfortability of your Wrangler on a budget,

then this one and three-quarter-inch spacer lift kit with shocks will be a very affordable

way to get there.

This is a simple and cost effective kit that will take the factory rake out of the jeep

and will improve your suspension overall.

This kit will allow you to comfortably fit a 33-inch tire.

And as for bigger tires, you won't have much room with a 35 and I definitely wouldn't recommend

a 37 with a one and three-quarter-inches of lift.

Install on this will be a two out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter and we'll

show you how to tackle that in just a minute.

For a smaller one and three-quarter-inch spacer lift, this is a pretty complete kit.

This comes with heavy duty coil spacers for both the front and the back which will give

you that actual lift that you're looking for and will level out that factory rake in the

hood.

This kit will also come with both front and rear Rugged Ridge ORV shocks that will have

nitrogen charged internal valving.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to shock, there is a hydraulic shock and a

nitrogen charged shock.

A hydraulic shock will feel more fluid like and cushiony and it will provide the most

comfort on the road.

But it's more susceptible to shock fade over time from cavitation or foaming forming in

the shock when it's excessively worked.

A nitrogen charged shock is gas charged and it will be ultimately better at resisting

any shock fade from cavitation when being worked really hard like when you're out driving

on excessive washboards and bumps at fast speeds.

But it will feel more rigid and stiffer compared to a hydraulic shock.

These shocks will feature a twin two construction for lower heat buildup and will ultimately

help avoid any cavitation and give the shock a longer life span over all.

The shock also has a 14-millimeter piston with an extra chrome plating to provide a

long rust-free life.

Lastly, this includes rear sway bar links which is pretty common with smaller lifts

and you'll even get some brake line relocation brackets to accommodate for the added ride

height.

For what this kit consists of, I think it's very affordable at right around $320 at the

moment.

Usually a kit that includes coil spacers and shocks will range anywhere between $250 to

$350 which is pretty standard when you're getting a more complete kit compared to standalone

spacers.

If you were looking for more affordable options, you usually will decrease the number of components

that you get in the kit.

On the page, those less expensive options are easy ways to get height on your Wrangler

but they'll just have the coil spacers or body lifts for about half the price of this

kit.

On the other hand, if you're looking for more components than this, you'll start to go up

pretty high in price.

There are some pretty in-depth options on the page as far as components go.

However, those options will be more of a premium with adjustable coilovers built by very reputable

brands.

Assuming you're not looking to go crazy with a kit like that and you just want a budget

boost, this kit will be a great option for you.

Install will be a bit lengthy so I'm calling this one a two out of three wrenches on the

difficulty meter and I'll pass you over to our installers to show you how this gets done.

First we want to lift the vehicle up into the air with a lift or jack and jack stands.

And next we're gonna remove all four wheels.

Use pole jacks to support the rear axle.

We're going to start off by removing the lower shock bolts.

Next, using an 18-millimeter socket and wrench, we're going to remove the lower sway bar end

link now.

Next, using a 16-millimeter socket and an extension, we're going to remove the upper

shock bolts and pull our shocks out.

Next, we're going to remove our brake line bracket.

Next, we're going to lower the axle to remove the springs so we can install our new spacers.

Next, we're going to install our break line drop bracket.

Use the provided hardware.

Now, I'm going to disconnect the emergency brake line bracket.

Next, we're going to install our spring with our new spacer on the top.

Next, we're going to install our new sway bar end link.

Got a five-sixteenths Allen wrench and a 19-millimeter wrench, tightening up the upper portion of

the sway bar end link.

Next, we're going to install our new rear shocks.

Using an 18-millimeter wrench and socket, tighten up the lower shock bolts.

And we can install our lower sway bar end links now, tighten them up using an 18-millimeter

wrench and an 18-millimeter socket.

Start to the front removal by removing our lower shock bolts with a 18-millimeter wrench

and socket.

Next, we're going to remove just the upper portion of our sway bar end link.

Next, we can remove the bolt that holds a brake line bracket to the frame and install

our brake line bracket extenders.

Using a 16-millimeter ratchet wrench, we are going to loosen up the upper shock bolt and

remove the shock.

Now, we can remove our factory springs.

We're gonna start off by installing the spring spacer.

And don't forget to put your factory isolator in as well.

Next, we can install our new shocks.

Using a 14-millimeter ratchet wrench, tighten up your shock bolt.

Next, we can bolt up our lower shock now and tighten up the bolt with 18-millimeter.

We're going to install our front brake line drop brackets.

And finally, we can install our sway bar end links.

Once you've put your tires back on your jeep, your installation is complete.

So, if you're looking for an affordable and complete way to get a little height on your

4-door JK, this one and three-quarter-inch lift by Rugged Ridge will be a great option

to check out.
