Thanks for the updates. This is indeed a good start, but there are lots of aftermarket giants yet to release their products for JL for which we got to wait....
Ryan, you and Meredith make this channel awesome. Its's official this is now my favorite channel to watch. Love your work and all the valuable info you guys put into the vids. Please keep up the good work. I am watching. I have my first Jeep and it is a 19' JLU Rubicon. I have decided for warranty reasons to go with the 2.5" lift from Mopar. Dealership says they warranty everything so lets see where this gets me. I do "Lite" wheeling and where I live there are no rocks to crawl only mud and sand lol. I think I will be OK.
Congrats on the new Rubicon and thank you so much for the kind words! We'll definitely keep up the good work here. Don't be afraid to get that Jeep dirty. 😁 -Zach
Great 5 first choices. I'm doing the bumper and Warn winch right now, so I noticed that the factory fog lights you installed were upside down, I almost did the same thing...not sure if it affects anything. Keep up the great videos!
I think the reflector is designed specifically to be mounted right side up. I'd imagine installing it upside down would negatively affect the beam cutoff and pattern.
Thanks for this video! My first mod is going to be a front bumper and winch. In February I’m getting a lift, wheels and tires. I was wondering about the spare situation. Definitely going to look into the mopar reinforcement kit you mentioned.🤘🏻🚙🎄
very cool, but I don't think a new owner necessarily needs to do those mods first. If you are a new owner, you might be new to Jeeps, like me. I'm not going to upgrade to those expensive mods right away. I think other cheaper mods that don't involve lifts or tires can be just as useful and more in reach of other people without thousands of dollars sitting around.
Opinions: I bought a 2018 JK Friday, having dealer buy and install: -Nitto Terra Grappler Tires 285/75/17 (suggested size with MOPAR lift via ET video) -Smitty Built Nerf Steps -Grab Handles -Front & Rear entry guards -Red Rock gladiator grille -2" MOPAR lift w/ FOX shocks -Barricade Trail Force HD front bumper -Rear bumper also -Front skid plate -WITH dealership LABOR It has a 3.7 rear diff and already has reinforced swing gate. Total: $6,479.54 Suggestions for wheels and fenders, please.
ifp123 damn son 6,000 just for upgrades. Lol awesome. Tires its up to you man. If you get 35smost likely you wont have to worry about anything but if you get 37s then theres has to be a few changes. Fenders again up you. You can get them body color or upgrade them to something stronger
Phillip Craggs it's my understanding that the weak point is not the hinges, but the door itself that bends, study how its attached ... goes from hing to upgraded carrier, this prevents the carrier from sagging or tilting downward , basically twisting the door out of shape.
The link for the bumper isn’t the same one from the video with the LED lights - can you send the link for the exact one on the video please? Thanks!!!!
The Rubicon in the video has the Barricade Alloy Series Aluminum Front Bumper. Link is below! If you're talking about the red JL that makes a quick appearance at the beginning of the video, that bumper is the DV8 Offroad LSF-8 Steel Mid Width Front Bumper with LED Lights. That link is below as well! Barricade: www.extremeterrain.com/barricadeoy-series-aluminum-front-bumper-2018-jl.html? DV8: www.extremeterrain.com/dv8-offroad-lsf8-steel-mid-width-front-bumper-w-led-lights-2018-jl.html
I planning to lift up 2.5 inches for 35inches tires and stronger holder back tire so i can able put 35 on the back, than my next tragets is get bumber bars with light on it and put KC cricle lights 6 them on my top front jeep jl. I didnt liked brand new lights 50 inches long light. To me it didnt fit jeep right. I like old school. Those kind lights match jeep look even better and more hotest! Lol.
Alan Rook I’m curious like the other person is, Did you need to add any additional parts to run the 37” tires ? Also how is your Mopar lift kit doing? I’ve read a few you tube comments about the Springs that they Bow and a couple other comments said that the Mopar lift uses cheap parts so the person that said that comment and made a TH-cam video about it said he had to spend over $1000 extra to get the Jeep to run right with 37” tires. I like to use the Mopar lift because you don’t void the warranty.
Do you know if adding a non Mopar lift kit would void my warranty by chance? Just got my Jeep and the sales person at the dealership was saying any Non Mopar aftermarket parts will void my Factory Warranty.
thnxs for nice review. it's a fantastic car. absolutely love it. just the price $50k-$60k is really hight. it's worth it but still. in 90-ies it was $14k.
So if i add 35 inch tires to my 2018 rubicon, i dont have to change anything at all? If i do what exactly should i change. You were more focused on the 37 in this videos
These wheels have a -6mm offset and this Jeep does not have wheel spacers on it! Check out the link to the wheels here ---> www.extremeterrain.com/mammoth-jeep-wrangler-jl-boulder-beadlock-style-black-wheel-17x9-j100635-jl.html
285/70R17 are probably the best tire size to consider if you're looking for something bigger that won't cause issues at stock height. You'll likely run into rubbing issues if you look at anything larger. -Zach
I got 1 with the turbo had it 9 days and an oil fitting to the intercooler failed leaking oil on the freeway ended up having metal shavings in my oil filter. Still at the dealer service department 2 weeks later, no answers yet, but I put a claim with chrysler for a buy back. Who wants a new jeep with a rebuilt engine! Should've kept my jk

Good start for sure. Mod #6 for me would be a winch

ifp123 go with 315 70 17’s, you’ll be much happier with the look.
Just bought a 2018 Wrangler JLU Sahara, can I move to 33 tires with the factory wheels? Love the front bumper in this video!
You absolutely could! 275/70R18 would be a great option to fit stock and look great! -Zach
Steel hood latch kit first!
Great vid bro! Agree with all of those
Thanks for watching, Mark! We appreciate it! -Zach
Maybe show mods on a sport
We do! Check out the following link for a build we did on a Sport S! -Zach

the only thing I question is that the Tailgate Reinforcement just reinforces the tailgate. Not the hinges or the hinge mounts to the Jeep itself.
Phillip Craggs and it’s $625
Phillip Craggs it's my understanding that the weak point is not the hinges, but the door itself that bends, study how its attached ... goes from hing to upgraded carrier, this prevents the carrier from sagging or tilting downward , basically twisting the door out of shape.

That's too bad. My Mopar lift on 37s has zero rubbing.
Any pics of yours? Any other modifications required to run the 37s, like drive shaft, axel, etc? are you happy with the Mopar lift?
Alan Rook I’m curious like the other person is, Did you need to add any additional parts to run the 37” tires ? Also how is your Mopar lift kit doing? I’ve read a few you tube comments about the Springs that they Bow and a couple other comments said that the Mopar lift uses cheap parts so the person that said that comment and made a TH-cam video about it said he had to spend over $1000 extra to get the Jeep to run right with 37” tires.
I like to use the Mopar lift because you don’t void the warranty.
Yes 2.5 super lift and 285 tyres are great except the knocking noise after while from the rear
Do you know if adding a non Mopar lift kit would void my warranty by chance? Just got my Jeep and the sales person at the dealership was saying any Non Mopar aftermarket parts will void my Factory Warranty.
How legal is that front aluminum bumper across USA .
You would have to check your local laws/regulations! -Merideth
thnxs for nice review. it's a fantastic car. absolutely love it. just the price $50k-$60k is really hight. it's worth it but still. in 90-ies it was $14k.
Not relevant, but I paid $3,200 for my CJ5 in 1973.
Is not the same as in the 90s dude, go get a test ride and you'll understand the pricetag.
So if i add 35 inch tires to my 2018 rubicon, i dont have to change anything at all? If i do what exactly should i change. You were more focused on the 37 in this videos
all this can be installed in unlimited sport or sahara?
My jk has a 4 inch lift and 35s. This Jeep looks taller than my jk
The front sway bar links are now in a negative angle...looks like they will flip in reverse when in full droop...concerned?
wheel spacers or what is the offset of the wheels? thanks
These wheels have a -6mm offset and this Jeep does not have wheel spacers on it! Check out the link to the wheels here ---> www.extremeterrain.com/mammoth-jeep-wrangler-jl-boulder-beadlock-style-black-wheel-17x9-j100635-jl.html
Hello I just bought a 2020 wrangler sport jl. But unsure what's the biggest all terrain tyres I can get on it without a lift?
285/70R17 are probably the best tire size to consider if you're looking for something bigger that won't cause issues at stock height. You'll likely run into rubbing issues if you look at anything larger. -Zach
Why 37 spare tire when your running 35s?
How much does your 5/mods cost ?
All product links are in the video description and current pricing can be found at our website! -Zach
what's the total height with the lift and 35 tires???
Ya'll mounted the fog lights upside down.
If i want to go to 35s, do I need the tazer?
It would certainly help you correct your Wrangler's speedometer and transmission shift points! -Zach
why do you need to get different rims? whats wrong with the stock ones?
Not wide enough
After spending 40K u shudnt need to buy 5 of anything.
Where’s the 3rd. back brake light ? With that tire carrier you have on the Jeep
Lenny7118 middle of the spare tire about the center hub.
How do you look the 2018 JL Sahara ?
Hey, Pedro, that's a question best answered by our JL Sahara Review Video: th-cam.com/video/1p_FP8KeXkc/w-d-xo.html

4 door wranglers look like limousines
hahaha, one reason I got a 2 door.
First five mods. Replace the grille, front / rear bumpers and god awful tail lights to the JK style. That's 4...Remove the ugly factor. That's 5.
Man I can barely hear what you’re saying. Too much background music. Speak up.
Cables look like shit ...
