I've watched every video on this channel pretty much. I don't own a Jeep, I never will own a Jeep either probably but I now have pretty good knowledge about the XJ, which is nice.
Appreciate the DIY-ness and sense of humour, it keeps me coming back, just like Jimmy.
I don't drive or like cars!
Well if you ever buy one your well equipped! Thanks for watching
Just like Jimmy, always watching 👀
Can always rely on Mike's sense of humour to cheer me up! 🤣
😮 i saw the title and said nooo not led lights. I live in alaska and people are finding led lights dont produce heat so when you drive in a snow storm, the snow doesnt melt and you have to stop and clear them. But they look cool. ❤
They do look cool. I've experienced the smaller cube lights frosting up, not the headlights. They seem to get quite warm but I need to test them more. Thanks for watching
I run led headlights, led ditch lights and a 40” led single row light bar. I live in Colorado and what you say is correct they just collect snow and it stays frozen. Your lights just become blocked out like a solar eclipse.. so I also run three 7” 55w HID pods right on the front of my bumper. Two yellow on the sides and and one white in the center.
Those ARE killer, nearly zero hood glare...good job dood
Yeah that was a nice suprise, 👌 thanks for watching
Strands are a Swedish lightbar manufacturer, worth contacting.
Thanks for the tip! I will look them up
Lights look awesome and seem to do what they're designed to do! I don't really care for the wires being exposed like that though. They're just begging to be snagged on by some treacherous tree branches or the like. And nevermind all this nonsense about how or by who you get "paid" for the work you do, it's your "paycheck" you earn by the job you have! It isn't any concern or business of ours. I hope jeep sponsors you with their newest line of vehicles and supplies you with a brand new outfitted workshop complete with cameras, lights, and a team of midgets to do all the work for you!! Until then, my friend, keep pumping out this awesome content, I'm diggin it!👍🤌👌
I cable tied them to the mount for the moment but I have these little black wire holders that might look smart.
Well I appreciate that. Its nice that companies are prepared to support me in someway shape or form. It helps a lot. Thanks for the well wishes 🙏
😂 every time.. you absolutely crack me up, another great vid mike.
Great vid as always Mike. I would consider a secondary Lock Nut on your brackets! Would eliminate them coming loose through vibrations during driving. 😉
I've done just that! They would end up loosing up and facing me while I'm driving knowing my luck
Man, three videos in a week? Spoil me more daddy Mike!
Not sue how I'm going to so these mods to my mountain bike....but hell yeah! Love the jokes, and always your previous channel ! (Not sure if we are allowed to mention your previous life). Atb Grant 😂
Haha, I think it would be too heavy 😅 I miss the uk sometimes, all the places I use to go and hunt. Most of places aren't there anymore sadly. Good times though. Thanks for watching
Hi, I think that tungsten bulbs takes longer to get bright than LED which are instant on, this is because the filament needs to warm up before maximum light output is reach… And if you remove your regular bulbs, depending on the flasher used the leds will flash faster, you would have to add a resistor to simulate the bulb resistance and make the flashing be the normal rate, or change the flasher relay to one that to not rely on the bulb resistance, if that all make sense? Love the videos and the humour, thank you.
Thanks for the information and for watching. I will see if I can get some led replacements and check how they perform. Or a new relay as you mentioned. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks again
Looks good Mike. One thing I've been wanting to do is add an amber light on my roof rack facing backwards. Something not blinding, but somewhat bright like an indicator. To be used in highly dusty or snowy situations when someone is behind me. Often times taillights can straight up disappear in dust/snow.
Thats a very good idea actually, now I want to do that! 😄 🤣
Thats a smart move though, more signal lights the better in some way. With the powered snow on the highway it would help to have somthing elevated
mike you gotta do the harmonic balanced before it pulls off of the crankshaft towards the mechanical fan!
Okay, then that's my next order. You mean for the 4.0 right?
I will get one next and go to town on it. Thanks for waking me up on that
@@WorkshoptoWilderness yeah it is on the 4.0. my harmonic balancer pulled away from the block and out towards the radiator. this caused my mechanical fan to strike it on every fan blade and made a horrible sound
...just for the record, I plan on using your affiliate link to purchase those headlights. I happen to think they look fantastic :)
Thank you I appreciate that. I hope you like them. I love them!
Cool lights , its awesome how they have signal indicators built in !!
I bought those headlights based on your install…now it looks like I’ll have to buy these as well 🙄 They would actually be really handy here in Australia, where kangaroos tend to just jump out in front of you from nowhere!
Haha sorry about that. How are the headlights working out for you?
The cube lights are pretty nice to be fair. They seen well made and actually quite bright but don't let me convince you! Think it over. Thanks again for watching
@@WorkshoptoWilderness i actually really like the headlights, they are some of the better LEDs I’ve tried. I like the DRLs too, makes the car easier to see.
Hi Mike. Those ditch lights are very nice! And the indicator is a great touch. Also handy when the front of the Jeep is dirty. Those indicators lights will most likely stay much cleaner higher up.
Mike I have some 3x3 rigid lights on the front of my xj. 2 are spot and 2 are flood type. I also don’t like light bars. And because mine are all individual. I can put the light where I want it. But all my lights facing forward are below the hood. I even turn my interior dash lights down low when night driving. I find that the best. No hood glare or interior light to effect my vision.
If you are looking for more long distance spot range. Then you might be ok up on the roof under the tent. But set back a little from the windshield. But the slightest dust/snow and it makes your vision far worse. Well that’s what I found. Before mounting any of my lights permanently I move them around a lot to see where they work best for me and my needs.
That sounds like a smart setup. Appreciate the info! I think I will try four or Five cube lights up high under the tent but in snow storms they will be more of a hindrance. I saw jeep sunshade that looks pretty good l though I would be very reluctant to just screw something to my sheet metal roof as advertised. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Another awesome video Mike
Thanks for watching
My xj is a limited model so it come with fog lights from factory I have done something similar to you but just ran the wires to the original fog light loom maybe you could look into getting an oem switch panel from a limited instead of fitting a switch or going from your main beam (mine don’t have indicators)
Ah nice, I've not seen one with foggers. Here is standard to wire extra lights to main beams. They will only every be used in winter in my case.
Had to pause the video at the only fans bit so I could finish laughing.... obviously 😳
Mate this was great info ... a lot to think about. And yeah I don't like like light bars either so if you come up with a better solution I'd buy you a very large coffee/beer/whisky chap.
Again ... throughout ... thanks for the laughs I'm having a crap day and I needed that 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. I was thinking of five cube lights mounted under the tent. Without the signal lamp mounted up though. It might look good and there would be no hood glare. I would use the black ones though and not the silver ones if I did that just so it didn't look strange. I will have to play around on photoshop!
Thanks for watching mate 👍 hope your having a better day today
@@WorkshoptoWilderness That's an interesting idea. I look forward to seeing any mock-ups. And yeah keep going mate your videos are always worth a watch 😎
I'm glad I'm not the only one that does stupid accents when I'm wrenching.
Its the only way to get through jobs sometimes isn't it.
All bulbs need to be LEDs and replace your parking lights relay to an LED comparable one
Thanks for the information. I will definitely look into that!
I hear the OF models are financially killing it. All the best with that.😂
I watched a program about it. Its insane
Nice looking lights. Could you not wire the blue wire to your driver side inner fuse box? My xj has the full beam fuse in there and I will piggyback off that. Not done it on an xj, but I do that on my smiley transits... I'd not thought about hood glare as I've only put spotlights on top of my transits and I've 6 spots ready for my xj. Guess she'll be getting the matt black treatment asap. Thanks for your time. Learned so much about my VM from your videos. Have you covered front and rear crankshaft seals? I got a leaky one just now.
I don't think the blue control wire draws much voltage as the lights are directly hooked to the battery. I guess its just to activate the relay to open the circuit so I don't think it will be a problem on the light harness. I guess I will see in time.
Hood glare has always been a real pain with lights by the mirrors. I cant remove the brackets anymore though so I wanted to make something work there. Fortunately these do!
The crankshaft seals are a pain in the ass. I loosely covered them in a clutch video. Had to pull the adapter plate to get to the camshaft seal which always leaks.. front one aswell is also annoying to change.
Thanks for watching 👀
I was just watching some of your clutch videos. I managed the front seal no bother. Made a wee tool for the pulley... Still a drip from between the gearbox, so rear seals ordered. I'll get stuck into some more videos and prepare myself.... Thanks for the great videos!
@@seanbrechin9422 Ah nice one. It's a pain of a job. The red o ring behind the transmission adapter plate always leaks. I think its the cam shaft o ring.
Anyway hopefully it's not too much of a pain! Thanks for watching
If you want to switch the standard turn signals to LED as well, this is the best comprehensive video I've found on that topic, it's the video I went by when I swapped all of mine to LED: th-cam.com/video/vj7q325BTAs/w-d-xo.html
Things to note are that in 2023 Sylvania still sells those bulbs he uses in the video, but now in a different style optimized for reflectors, with no forward facing diodes. This is fine for those who have also swapped to clear housings like the ones shown in this video, or when running at night, but daytime they are not bright enough and cannot be seen well from an angle that isn't head on. I personally wouldn't consider them safe for road use. I have switched to cheapo Yorkim LEDs I bought on amazon that are working fine so far, these have diodes on all sides of the housing, mimicking a standard bulb. Note this is not a problem for reverse lights, and the new style Sylvanias act like a second set of low beams at night.
Sorted
Hi Mike! I have the ledbar on the place you gonna put it.
And it's really great how much light it's give.
But I have one problem with it when I put it one I see nothing fore 5 ore 10 seconds.
Because to much licht comes in the cabine.
I looking fore a solution when having it I let you know.
Hey Pieter, I will probabaly go with five cube lights in the black variant and mount them under the roof tent. They have a nice focused beam with little light spillover so I think it will work well. I will think it over and film it if I do the job.
Thanks I look forward to see
Splendid chap
great lights
Good one 😊
Don't do light bars they're on every thing and kinda look ghetto like truck nuts lol , instead make mounts for more pods along the rack.
Yeah I don't like them. I think five cube lights along the under side of then tent.
It’s missing the doll wire, no? I’ll never work 🤔
😆 sending them back!
Very smart but were is the link for only fans ❤
😅
1st! 🏅
🍪
Can we have a sexy calendar of you please. I'll buy at least 5 just saying. 😂
