One of my favorite mod's I've done was install the Hothead Headliner for my hard top with the sound assassin strips. Not only does it make a HUGE difference with the reducing the heat in the southeast but, the Alpine speakers sounds much better immediately after install. The bass is much deeper and improved with less road/wind noise. The quality of these headliners are top notch and I highly recommend them.
It’s funny as I watched this video and a couple weeks later picked up my built to order JLR, on the 200+ mile back my rear speakers stopped working. After I got home, I re-seated all the fuses and never had the problem again. Thank you Matt! 💪
Greetings from Craig Alaska!...a lot of locals here depend on jeeps and especially wranglers, so this video really speaks to me. My friend Mike turned me on to this channel...love it.
So I just got my first wrangler 22 Willy Recon Package and in 2 years will trade up to a 24 Rubicon 392 and I love that every day I learn something new with these cars one thing I didn’t know until I saw your video is I had to cut a piece of the flooring carpet out in order to get to the drain, I saw it imprinted but I figured mine doesn’t have that option 😂 And I might be the only one on this but I love the stock antenna especially on my Sarge Green Recon with the soft top it makes it look like a true Army Jeep I love it.
Nice video! Would like to see if you do any prep before off-roading (like spray underneath so mud falls off easier) or what you check and how you clean underneath after a day out in the muck.
my JKU Rubicon Hard Rock Edition came with the rubber weather floor mats for the front and rear seats. I bought the rubber floormat for the cargo area. well worth it. my carpet looks like new 9 years later. also, you should look at the door entry guard. mine had a spot where the paint wore out where you get in and out of the jeep. I had it fixed about a year ago and then put the door sill covers on it. honestly this should have been done at the factory.
1. Another option for the phone mount is 67 Designs. Great product. I do recommend the magnetic mount though. 2. Floor mats 👍👍 3. Antenna: I did the 50 cal bullet design.. it’s works fairly well and I don’t listen to much over the air waves anyway. 4. I have the Warn version of your mount and well as a rope and if going way out, a complete tool bag. 5. The fuses and relays on my JT and my friends were out 1/8 to 3/16 from being fully seated. In fact, my friends went into a limp mode with codes referring to intermittent ECM contact. Pushed the relays down and has been good since.
Aside from checking the fuse box I concur with your choices! I must admit the rubber mats lose the dark black look early and are grayed out! I much prefer the carpet mats as a option. Keep the informative videos coming and please consider me when you decide to give your carpet mats away!
Thanks for commenting ! The carpet is definitely a clean look also ! Shoot me an email at matt@dirtroadcredmedia.com and I will send you the floor mats!
Would love a set of oem jeep mats. Just bought my first jeep ever! I have always wanted one. Gotta start somewhere so I started w a used one but I love it!! Loving all the videos!
Hi Matt and Ryan. First I love your videos, your tips and advice have helped me very much. Second and this is just for fun, I ordered my 2-door in earl grey on June 2 and Ryan got his before me...arghh. I did not get mine until after the strike and just after Thanksgiving. I used your tip about checking the fuses to make sure they were all pushed in completely, the count was close to 30 that went just a bit more into place. That was a great tip!! I also got some rock Stopperz from your product try out video, they work great and look good as well. I'm looking into some of the other mods for storage and Bullet point but had not decided yet on what will work best for me. This is my first Jeep and so far I love it, I have not gotten to open the top or go doors off, I'll have to wait for spring. I just wanted to say thanks for your content, it really helped a totally new Jeep guy make some informed choices. Keep up the good work. I did order the floor mats and got some side steps and sill protectors also.
I currently have a failing Jeep Patriot. I’m trying to get a Wrangler but I’m injured enough to barely be able to work but not injured enough for disability. Hopefully soon I’ll have enough for the down payment! Thanks for the tips, I’ll keep them in mind for whenever my dream does come true. :)
@@DIRTROADCRED i certainly hope so, all I want for whatever time I have left is to enjoy life, not be frustrated by it all the time. Anyway, happy thanksgiving man!
Another fun and informative video. Thanks for keeping them coming. Nice to watch you with your new Jeep while I wait for my order to be scheduled and built.
I will 💯 rock the factory floor mat. I just like the feel of carpet under my feet. If I don’t win this, I still plan on buying another set for when I wear mine out !
that fuse box suggestion is fantastic, regardless of the manufacturer. I also want to mention, in regards to the floor liners. Anyone thinking of ordering their jeep, DO NOT spec this item on the build sheet, you will pay A LOT more for small items you can add later like the floor liners. You can actually get them cheaper by a few dollars and you aren't financing them.
@@DIRTROADCRED I didn't even think about build times! Some items, you can't beat price on like the premium (bestop) soft top or things you can't add (easy/cheaply) aftermarket, but some you just have to do the math on and buy after the vehicle.
I opened up the fuse box on your recommendation and started pushing in. I couldn't believe it but everyone I pushed on 'clicked in'. Even the relay's were seated crooked
I'll have to look into the Bronco antenna. I didn't know they were swappable. I usually just painted the stock ones black. The recovery gear I wouldn't count as I moved mine from Jeep to Jeep. I have the same ARB recovery bag you have from my last Jeep (WJ). Agree about the floormats. I love mine (JKU). I'd also add grab handles.
The really cool thing about the jl is jk bumpers bolt right on. I have purchased a front and rear bumper from Amazon. And total cost was around 300 bucks
Enjoyed the video, thanks for the point on checking the fuse box. I had many lose I bought my 4xe of june 3rd and have 6400 miles on it. Not sure if this is related, but one that that always bugged me was the volt meter showing 12.6 when driving occasionally it would jump to 14.3 then drop steadily to 12.6. So i figured well maybe had something to do with my HV battery and hybrid system. Well after checking my fuse box and finding many loose. ( i wish i had noted which were loose). I noticed driving this morning, Volt meter now showing 14.3 - 14.4 consistently. NOT sure it is related however I do know a loose connection can cause a voltage drop in High current situations. just thought I would share and look forward to seeing more of your content. On a different topic, I wanted also share.I just returned from a 16 hour round trip, went through the mountains of WV etc. pulling a trailer and the power an torque of the 4xe is amazing. Much surprised, as I was concerned with the 4 banger turbo. I had rented one in Colorado a few years back and said I would never own a 4 banger. However when it i married to the electric set up It gets it done and more.
I found your videos recently and I enjoy them. I may reach out to you when I order. I am waiting to see what they come out with for the 20th anniversary rubicon. I agree with the antenna, never liked the factory one I wish they would upgrade. I was wondering what CB you recommend...I tend to go on mostly jeep jamboree's, so I would like to get it wired for clarity and range.
I haven’t run a CB in a little while, I typically use handheld communication which is portable and I can use outside the vehicle ! I’ll have a video soon on comm systems coming out soon!
Love the bulletpoint mounts. I have them on both the Wrangler and Gladiator. I've been a fan of factor 55 and the way I see it is if the recovery gear breaks while recovering then the recovery gear wasn't worth the money. I view recovery gear as the equipment of last resort. If it fails then I'm walking home and leaving a Jeep in the woods.
Hey Matt. Good to see you on the youtubes again! I picked up a 2022 JLUR XR about two months ago thru special order as well. I went with the 3.6L though. Been a great rig so far. Thanks for your tips. I have an idea for a video for you and maybe with your Dad... Comms for the trail. I am learning a lot about radios right now but would appreciate your perspective.
Hey! Thanks for commenting! That’s definitely something we will tackle in the future on our trail series videos, I’ve been through my fair share and think I’m finally at the perfect set up for the amount/style of wheeling I do!
I just installed the bullet point driver and passenger on my JL cost me a lot because they don't ship to Canada I had to use a Forwarding company address in the US. But it was worth every penny 🙂
Speaking of things to do right away - what is your opinion on rust-proofing? Should we rust-proof our jeeps when we pick them up from the dealership? Really appreciate your feedback, and as always - awesome video. Just ordered the phone mount that you showed.
4 out of 5 when I took my delivery a few months ago. I've been thinking about getting a set of carpeted mats for when we go on a longer family trip though.
I actually had a charging system problem in 19 JL Wrangler, that turned out to be a broken Fuze in the fuze block that would lose contact an cause the start battery to go dead. Witch was broken from the factory.
I've seen people doing clear vinyl wraps on new cars with the argument of "we put a screen protector on our $1k phones, why not on our $40-$60 cars?". That hit me hard. It makes so much sense. ESPECIALLY for Jeeps. I literally got a scratch down my passenger door the 3rd week owning my first brand new jeep (just driving through a street with some overgrown bushes) 3 years ago. It killed me. Same thing happened in my new Tundra last year, and I paid extra for the BS armor all protective coating. What do you think about these wraps? I fully plan to get one when I order my next Jeep.
Those scratches are off road racing stripes. Jeeps are for fun, not for pretty. I have 2 and have never washed either one. Real men void the warranty. Have fun, not hissy fits.
Two things. On my 2020 JL one of the fittings on the oil cooler in front of the radiator was just about hand tight and was leaking oil since day one. Check those. Second, the auto start stop sensor is mounted in the front right driver side. If the plunger for some crazy reason is not depressed by hood, then the start stop is deactivated. Which means that if you take the sensor out of its position and zip tie it close by, your engine won’t incessantly start and stop. 👍
Got a question I bought a 2023 Jeep Beach edition 1 of 500 I guess didn't realize it when my girl and I bought it we just loved the color like yours. But I'm confused is it a Rubicon or regular wrangler ? what's the difference ? I live in Maryland so close to you if you want to check it out . Thanks
I have heard, that using your hitch as a recovery point, especially with a snatch or kenetic rope can be dangerous. Why not use a rated recovery point? Your thoughts?
When using a hitch point with a receiver or other method it can be dangerous, when using approved hitch links you can do it safely, it all comes down to speed and situational awareness
The factory tow hooks are only meant to help you along, the hitch ring is a much better choice if it comes to getting pulled. The stock (and aftermarket) hitch is attached to the rear frame, it’s pretty thick and far more durable then the hooks. Even the aftermarket bumpers that have the hitches built in are superior in strength and usability.
just got my new jeep. a 2022 jeep wrangler unlimited 4xE Sahara package. first jeep i ever owned, i really like it. enjoyed your video, with the tips you gave. the first thing i said to myself when i purchased the jeep, and got it home. i want to get the rubber mats, then i saw your vid, and you were showing them, cool. any sets of mats left? thanks for video.
Hey is anyone making a outlet for adding electric add-ons for the JK? Love the EZ plug in the JL's have. I'd love to find a EZ plug & play for under the hood of my 2017 JK. Maybe mounted somewhere near the Firewall. Oh, and if you have anything I could use on my 2017 Gobi JK laying around in your garage, I'll take it.
Matt I do love the appearance of the Jeep mopar all weather floor matts. Question for you. If I cut the underside of the drain off and install another plug on the top side will the floor matt lay flat? I do not want to utilize the floor drain. To many issues with water getting the carpet damp from both sides underneath and topside both.Thanks Kip
@@DIRTROADCRED Well I realize that's truly none of my business, I just see guys like you with jeep after jeep and doing all of these crazy mods and I just wonder how in the hell anyone can afford it. Good for you!l though!! Lol
Did you lose any radio station reception when swapping the antenna? I will live with the factory one, until an aftermarket one both looks better AND performs better. Form does not trump function for me as far as far as tuning in stations goes. Great vid, will check fuse box.
Bought my first yj. She is pink, yes it is a old repainted love. Trying to find parts and looking for the exhaust leak. It comes straight up through broken shifter boot. Ideas?
Excellent informative video. I’m looking to trade my 2019 ram 1500 for a Wrangler JL. Never owned a jeep before but always wanted to. My 10-year-old daughter really begs me to get one because she says they looks fun.

My new JK came with the heavy floor mats. Love them.
He's about the only guy who I will at least listen to 100% of what he has to say about Jeeps.
Appreciate that!

Don’t be afraid to ask the dealership to add the floor matts when negotiating. I was able to get them added at no out of pocket cost to me.
I second that. I have done that too.
good vid 👍 .....lockable hood latches and lockable gas cap - it just weirds me out that it's just not factory standard
Great parts for sure to add!
Love your videos. I'm buying my first Jeep this afternoon. Glad I found your channel.
Congrats!
Nice video! Would like to see if you do any prep before off-roading (like spray underneath so mud falls off easier) or what you check and how you clean underneath after a day out in the muck.
Coming soon, there’s a few tricks I’ve learned over the years to help with that!

Great to hear these opinions! Glad I was close to your first 5!
I've had my jeep for 3 years and I've always found 67 sold out EVERY TIME I go look. 😞
Great tips. Had to reinstall my floor mats as the dealer put them over the fabric. Yes all fuses where loose. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
I have the same exact jeep. Just installed a 2 in lift, new front bumper, winch and some 17x9 -15mm offset and some trail boss AT tires.
That’s awesome!

Clean those rubber mats with all purpose cleaner and a drill brush and finish it with some aerospace 303. Looks brand new every time

Installed the Bulletpoint Rubigrid with xl phone holder on my Gladiator. It's awesome!
They are great!
Checking the fuses... would have never checked that until now. Thank you
No problem!

Absolutely! Cold weather group, front cam, etc
@@DIRTROADCRED haha, ya exactly. We're looking to order a JL Rubicon, and that's where we are at on it.
That’s the way to do it, at the end of the day adding 2-3k in options really doesn’t add too much to the Monthly payment!
Thank you for the advice didn’t think about those fuses being pushed all the way in I sending out floor mats I can use them thank you
Thanks for watching! The floor mats have been spoken for!
First upgrade I did were the same exact floor mats. Good choice next was antenna as well. Still new to this and looking for more to do
We have a lot of mod videos, if you need any suggestions!
I opened up the fuse box on your recommendation and started pushing in. I couldn't believe it but everyone I pushed on 'clicked in'. Even the relay's were seated crooked
Its crazy!
I'll have to look into the Bronco antenna. I didn't know they were swappable. I usually just painted the stock ones black.
The recovery gear I wouldn't count as I moved mine from Jeep to Jeep. I have the same ARB recovery bag you have from my last Jeep (WJ).
Agree about the floormats. I love mine (JKU). I'd also add grab handles.
The bronco antenna is great!
The really cool thing about the jl is jk bumpers bolt right on. I have purchased a front and rear bumper from Amazon. And total cost was around 300 bucks

Couple other very good ideas is to put a AGM battery in and a oil catch can.
Good call!
Yep, seated the fuses. Not a lot of play, just slightly, slightly clicked into place.
Always good to check!
Matts recovery rope is what I carry 👍
That would be more fitting , we have the same name!
Great tip on the fuses.

Can’t wait for some auxiliary lights installs
Very soon!
I would love to have them. Just bought my first jeep and it did not have mats
Thanks for the info..I'm totally getting me another Jeep
Right on!
First thing on every vehicle is first aid kit and a fire extinguisher. After that my Jeep got a winch and recovery kit.
Great first mods!

YES!
Just got a new Jeep wrangler Sport 23 and was wondering if you could tell me how many drain plugs are in it. I found 4.
I have a bullet point and a 67 design, the 67 is slightly better. The bullet point makes noise.
I prefer the bulletpoint!
Noob here!!! Thank you!!!
You’re welcome!
Does that phone mount bounce? Is the arm secure? As we know, a Jeep JK/JL, etc isn’t a regular vehicle. That’s my question.
Definitely no movement. Very stable when we took it off road as well

just got my new jeep. a 2022 jeep wrangler unlimited 4xE Sahara package. first jeep i ever owned, i really like it. enjoyed your video, with the tips you gave. the first thing i said to myself when i purchased the jeep, and got it home. i want to get the rubber mats, then i saw your vid, and you were showing them, cool. any sets of mats left? thanks for video.
Thanks for the comment tony! The first set of mats are spoken for, I’ll have to dig around my garage, you never know if I have any more lol
I would love to know where to get those Jeep mats please!
Check them out here: amzn.to/3AaUn98
Amazing mods, very simple! 🔥
Thanks abi!
My wife laughed when she heard you talking about storing parts in the garage.
Lol it’s such a true statement!
Hey is anyone making a outlet for adding electric add-ons for the JK? Love the EZ plug in the JL's have. I'd love to find a EZ plug & play for under the hood of my 2017 JK. Maybe mounted somewhere near the Firewall.
Oh, and if you have anything I could use on my 2017 Gobi JK laying around in your garage, I'll take it.
Matt I do love the appearance of the Jeep mopar all weather floor matts. Question for you. If I cut the underside of the drain off and install another plug on the top side will the floor matt lay flat? I do not want to utilize the floor drain. To many issues with water getting the carpet damp from both sides underneath and topside both.Thanks Kip
That should work! I would see it being a problem!
How can i get the floor mats thru you. I would love to try some prior to purchasing them
Good show…. Keep it coming.!
Thanks mike!
What do you do for money? I would love to mod mine but ..money. lol. Good for him for being financially comfortable.
Little bit of everything to be honest!
@@DIRTROADCRED Well I realize that's truly none of my business, I just see guys like you with jeep after jeep and doing all of these crazy mods and I just wonder how in the hell anyone can afford it. Good for you!l though!! Lol
Great video! I bought a used jk that already had the rubber mats installed. However, I would like the carpet mats much better!!!!
Awesome! If you want them shoot me an email to matt@dirtroadcredmedia.com
If you still have the factory floor mats I need some!!!!
They have been spoken for!
Why do you a phone mount when you have CarPlay, you can put your phone in the armrest or glovebox?
Still need some functions that are only on the phone!
Your so cool!! Love your solid advice. More baby pics please!!!
Thank you!
Do you ever feel a vibration on cold starts? I have a 2022 jeep gladiator and it has a bit of a vibration on cold starts
I haven’t had that issue on mine
I do. Just picked up a Rubicon on Monday
Those floor mats would look great in my TJ ?
Unfortunately they’re spoken for! Keep an eye for future videos as we might have more!
Just got a new jeep wrangler without floor mats .
Pick some up!
Did you lose any radio station reception when swapping the antenna? I will live with the factory one, until an aftermarket one both looks better AND performs better. Form does not trump function for me as far as far as tuning in stations goes. Great vid, will check fuse box.
I didn’t lose any reception, we have an upcoming video on antennas!
I could use the Floor Mats. Would they fit a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport
Hey James, we already sent these out to someone. Stay tuned to the channel we are always giving away extra stuff!
Got your own channel Kool I love my jk
😎
I purchased the antenna and adapter but the female end on the adapter is too small for the male end on the antenna. Anyone else have this issue?
Bought my first yj. She is pink, yes it is a old repainted love. Trying to find parts and looking for the exhaust leak. It comes straight up through broken shifter boot. Ideas?
I would check quadratec for a lot of the replacement parts!
Enjoyed- keep ‘em coming
Thanks dawn!!!
We have added new side rails, and bigger wheels and tires.
Awesome!
What wheel tire and lift combo is that please?
Great list!
Thank you!
I could use your old floor mats😁
Unfortunately they have been spoken for!
The floor mat plug comes off with my shoe when I’m driving switch to quadratec mats
Interesting!
I can use a floor mat plsss! ✋🏽
Thanks for the great ideas. And how can I buy your front bumper when you take it off? I have a 2022
Scott ! Shoot me a message at matt@dirtroadcredmedia.com
Did you give the floor mats away yet?
Haha yes, looong time ago
Excellent informative video. I’m looking to trade my 2019 ram 1500 for a Wrangler JL. Never owned a jeep before but always wanted to. My 10-year-old daughter really begs me to get one because she says they looks fun.
They are great vehicles ! Much more refined than previous model wranglers, and much more capable!
Once u get a jeep, you'll wonder why u waitsd!! Incredible vehicle. I've had other vehicles, but nothing compares!! You'll definitely enjoy it!!!!
@@robertavickers4178 Thanks Roberta. I definitely made my decision on purchasing one. Just waiting for the right color to pop up!
Cool floor mates
Thank you!
