Hi, I have a 2018 Jeep JL Sport which began giving me problems with the autostart not working properly. Then I saw lights on the dash reporting issues. The next day (yesterday) it wouldn't start. I watched your video on bypassing the aux battery, so, I went out and bought one like yours. I'm installing it now, but I had to take a break due to rain. I just want to tell you that I appreciate so much that you explained how to remove the battery and cables as well as bypassing the aux. I'm not a mechanic, I'm 66 years old and this is the first time doing something like this. I was nervous as all heck. So, again I am grateful for the guidance. Joe

If ur testing ur SWR inside a garage or close to power lines ur swr readings will be off u want to be in a open area with nothing around and ur doors closed

Old video but I bought these and they work great. Thanks for the vid! Happy Jeeping! Be safe!

Nice truck

are your jack stands extra length? i got the 3 tons but it's not comfortably tall enough

So just to be clear here, I can leave the auxiliary battery where it's at and pull the fuse and take off that negative terminal? And im done?

if I don't have the H7 in my Jeep, do I need to upgrade the battery in order to bypass the Aux battery? or will the H6 do the job, thanks in advance

I did this and I'm off the Auxiliary and the fuse is pulled ,however i still have the "A!" Warning light. will this eventually go off?

👍

I doubt you’ll see this but if you do how much do you think of ls dee flats I could do? I have a pretty decent bit of off-road experience but not a whole lot, I drive a 2014 Jeep JKU sport on 33” BFG KO2’s, factory suspension and high clearance fenders, other then they just the basics, lights, winch bumper and winch. I haven’t been out there since I was like 6 years old(22 now) so it’s been a long time. I don’t have lockers as far as I know it’s open front and rear. Also I love the videos

Do you need to grease the new Adams shaft or is it pre greased

@frostbiteoffroad first thank you for the awesome video. Can you clarify for the fuse is it F42? On mine it show is a 5A fuse. It does say the same description and yours. Mine is a 20 wrangler. Thank you sir.

I just now finished installing the same carrier. I put one on my JK last year and it's a little different than my JL. This was easier, I just wish I had adjusted from the most to least space between the tire and carrier. I tried it 3 times finally using the widest. LOL Was a lot of work manually tightening nylon lock nuts. SMH Freaking great video man! Yours is The best and clearest. I watched your video several timrs before I got into it.

Great video. Gonna do this soon.

If I don’t currently have any aftermarket items going to the battery do I need to upgrade to the larger battery still? Or can I just bypass the Aux now? I’m getting the warning message now that says Aux buttons are not available whenever I forget to turn off the auto start.

Your content is simple and clean. Thanks Appreciate your time.

💪🏼👍🏼💯

Thanks for sharing.

Nice thanks

Hi had a question I installed the whole kit and once I got the camera mounted I put the last casting camera cover so to speak over it and the camera is off center doesn’t line up to the casting piece and help would be so great on how to center the camera etc

Is this worth the drive from the Portland area?

What about the 2nd bump stop for the spare ? I only see one installed

Hi Bryan, Thank you very much for your video. I’m having trouble with starting my Wrangler JL (my guess is the small battery killing everything) Do you confirm that removing the fuse and taping the cable will sort the thing out? I will be able to still start the vehicle? Thank you. Best, G

Among many videos on this issue with the auxiliary battery, yours is number one so clear! I wonder if the same technique I could apply on my 392 Rubicon 2022 ! Thx👍🏼

Saw you replace main battery and deactivate the fuse for the small battery but didn’t see small battery being taken out, did you just leave the dead small a battery in??

Go ahead!

With the 6 DB gain YOU DON'T NEED TO CUT OR SPLICE YOU SHOULD BE 1.0:1 on ALL CHANNELS!

Why do people like that stupid little 3db gain antenna?Don't you want a good SWR Don't you want better range?Then get rid of it and get the MXTA 26 by midland it's a 6 DB gain Pre set and great SWR and BETTER RANGE! I had the "Ghost Antenna like what you have I hated it so I took it and just THREW it as far as I could and then I got the MXTA 26 This was in 2018 I still have my 6 DB gain antenna I had it on a Dodge Ram Pick Up then on a Dodge Grand Caravan now it proudly stands on my 2003 Ford Taurus Station Wagon STILL on the same Magnet Mount and I'm still getting distance with my 5 watt Midland MXT 105 GMRS Radio and YES I do have My 10 year license.

Hands down

If you hit the button to turn off the start/stop button every time you start the vehicle, do you have anything to worry about regarding the aux battery going dead?

Over priced and unreliable

I have a Jeep gladiator 2023 Willy. On my battery the negative terminal has only two cables. Which one is the one I could tape up and tuck away?

Just to clarify - you're saying ALL 2021 jeeps have the cable reversed or did they do a half and half year or anything?

Absolutely!

I was waiting for him to do a quick rearview, and show us the entire rear end missing or something. Nah, for real though, show us the back or I'm calling shenanigans on the minor dent.

Good stuff, didn't know you had to weld the gaps on the top part of the truss. I wonder why they ship it that way? I also asked a buddy of mine to weld my front and rear truss for me. Shops wanted over $1400 for labor.. crazy.

Word of wisdom- if you are doing the rear, the bolt sizes and torque specs are completely different.

Excelente, es justo el que voy a comprar, gracias

I have a 2021 Wrangler EcoDiesel. Lucky for me that my Aux battery is directly under my main battery. Unlucky for all of us is that we have an Aux battery. I replaced both batteries on the 3 year anniversary of my Jeep being made before I had any issues. I live in the desert of Arizona and batteries die in about 3 years. I didn't want it to die on a ride in the desert. I push the button after starting my Jeep. I don't want the engine turning off when I am at a traffic light or when I apply the brake while off roading. I carry a Type S Jump Starter Power Bank with me all the time. I figure I can disconnect the Aux battery when I have a problem and jump the main battery to get going if I have to. I will replace my main battery and delete my Aux battery on the 2nd 3rd anniversary. Thanks for the tip on the F42 fuse.

Hey there, so simply switching the fuse and removing the negative terminal is enough to disable the aux battery? Does this reroute the start stop to the main battery or disable it permanently? Also, can the aux battery and the positive and negative lines attached to it be left in the jeep?

Where do you put the positive from the aux battery?Do you just add it to the main positive?

What if the light doesnt go off?

Great video, unfortunately the only true way to swap the yoke correctly is to install in new crush sleeve with it! yes it will work this way, but its not correct.

Does the remote start still work???

Is this suposed to work on 2022 Gladiator? I removed fuse 42 and disconnected the battery cabel and stil auto start/stop not disabled. Any idias?

Best video on this yet. You actually took the time to show where the fuse was located.

This thing is so freaking awesome. The cat6 port for gmrs is a reason why I want this

What PSI do you keep those tires at and is that enough?

Thank you for this video. I don’t like the stop/start. I didn’t even know it was a separate battery until today when my Jeep was dead. This saves me money and I won’t have to deal with turning this feature off every time I drive.

And changing your mind over the original install, did you ever consider the metalcloak selector shaft brace?
