Jeep Wrangler Mods for the Daily Driver

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ค. 2024
- With all the Axle build videos I figured it was time to make a simple video on some parts that I personally think compliment the Jeeps “daily drive-ability”. Some of these mods might seem simple, but they make the Jeep more user friendly. Like always, thank you for watching and please show your support and give the video a thumbs up!!

I love the door extenders helps me put bodies in the Jeep, my dad taught me that.

🎵🎵Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you 🎵🎵
Paracord also works great.
JW Speaker headlights are by far my most useful daily driver mod.
I have a set including fogs sitting in the garage but this damn flu is keeping me from installing.
I did the rear door extension bracket after watching your review video and I had a baby after. Let me just say it is the GREATEST addition to the Jeep ever putting my baby or the car seat in and out is NIGHT AND DAY BETTER! So thank you so much for that video I can’t tell you how incredible your are for that!
7:05 “sandbags, gravel, dirt, bodies!” 😂😂
My favorite for my daily and camping is the rear cargo rack/shelf for the JKU. Nothing like having that extra shelf that sits just above the cargo door. Really helps keep the back organized and adds security with the top off. I grabbed the “OPAR” a few years ago and it’s still going strong!!!
A Toyota driver called my Jeep a Mall crawler.
His rear axel gave out on the trail grinding metal and I happened to run into him. He requested a ride back. Axel removed I towed and winched his truck 20 miles to the highway using the 3 snatch block method my uncle taught me. To not overwork the winches giving them a good cool down period. GO RAMSEY🇺🇸!
A rear backup camera is an essential with a high vehicle and a large tire in your rear view mirror. Especially if you haul trailers!
So great, I have most of these mods as well! It's funny how some of the cheapest and easiest mods have become my favorite on the Jeep.
Hurry up with the I drive comparison thats the price point im looking for.
Door Extenders are great. I run a Pedal Commander and it does what its supposed to do. Don't need bells and whistles with that product. Crawl Mode, Off, Sport and Sport+. I run it on Sport.
I love my dead pedal and grab handles. Cheap, simple and effective mods everyone should do.
The IDrive was by far the best mod I did to my Jeep. My JKU instantly became a rocket ship. I'm running Ultimate Dana 60's on 40's with 5.38 gears and no engine mods. I absolutely love driving my Jeep with the IDrive set that puppy to U9 and she will scream off the line or at 60 mph.
Love seeing the kids for daily's always gives me ideas for my own rig keep up the good work Ben!!
I have those same rightline bags, and they're great for my recovery gear and random things that otherwise would be in yet another tool box. Also really like the grab handles. I'm 5'11 so I didn't really have problems getting in, but my short friends love em, and whenever I have a messed up leg or something I really appreciate it.
Picked up my first "real" jeep in Anchorage last weekend. Can't wait to start modding... Thanks for the ideas!
Purchased the Idrive and the Mollie rear door extenders because of the reviews you made. Defiantly a few of my favorite mods I have installed so far.
But besides those mods installed my other favorite mods are 0gauge big 3 wiring upgrade, a Odessey battery , 1500w inverter , alpicool c20 mini fridge and a 700watt microwave.
Perfect for beach cruises or going through washed out roads in the mountains. Or even snack time during breaks while working on the clock. Stock alternator can defiantly handle and having a AEV Procal to hold high idle makes microwaving possible.
“I just spit a whole bunch” 😂😂 just found your vids loving all the Info! On my 3rd wrangler now. Just purchased a 2012 sport unlimited!!
😂🤘. Thanks for watching! If you ever have any questions feel free to ask away, same with video requests. I do my best to answer every question posted!
Plus one on the seat heaters! My wife loves ‘em and I use them all the time on chilly mornings and evenings when my JKU is topless 👍🏻👍🏻
I am a new Jeep owner and have purchased small things like seat covers, floor matts, upgraded tail lights, interior light LED's and a stubby antenna as well as a roll bar storage bag. So far, the interior LED's and the roll bar storage bag I would recomend as a must have.
Mine would be first the grab handles followed by the 67 designs mounting options for my vector off-road JKE dock
I really enjoyed that video, the first mod I bought were the back door extenders and I totally love them. I have a 2016 JK. I will definitely be gettin the hood struts and the JL hood latches. Thanks for the great videos, looking forward to the next one!
Just did the Jscan tune yesterday to both of my JKs now it knows the proper tire size!!! By far the best mod.... Heated seats- I bought my second jk with that as a must have I use it more than anything else
Hey man, I love the content. Keep up the good work. I just got back into the Jeep family last week and have been cruising through all your videos and making a list of mods. Thank you for all your work you put into these!
Thank you!
without a doubt Headlight upgrade was tops. Grab handles were huge. But one of my personal favs was my Trek Armor, (Now Bartact) Seat covers. They look amazing and come with tons of additional storage. Thanks for another fun video Ben.
I started out with Truck Lite and after they gave out, went with JW Speaker everything.
Heck yeah! Thanks for switching the videos up. Lots of channels don’t do that. I’ve had to unsubscribe to many in the past, they tend to forget that not every sub likes the current project
Love the character you gave to the video. Was not expecting to be this entertained!
The hood struts and rear hatch lightbar look like great mods! I live in interior Alaska, so my favorite mod so far is a insulated headliner kit from Hothead Headliners. Keeps things warmer and quieter.
I’ve been thinking of getting those! It’s nice to hear that you like them
Just watched your video and ordered the hatch light and the rear door strap extenders. Good stuff!
Ohhhh looking forward to the iDrive vs competitor review. I'd be in at that low $120 if its good.
For the older JKs I personally really like the Daystar Dash Panel with phone mount because it adds more storage space and gives you a nice way to hold your phone
I would have to say the idrive is my favorite mod. Last car was a Roush mustang 5.0 so needless to say the jeep was a giant snail. The idrive definitely makes a world of difference on acceleration especially with a heavy duty modded Jeep on 37's.
Ha ha! So the Mustang goes fast, so what! What else can you do with it? It’s such a waste! That “car” may be fast but you can’t follow me where I go with my Jeep and I go places a lot more fun than the pavement. Good move getting your Jeep, sell that boring car and get some mods for the Jeep!!!
@@donlavigne6698 You can buy a Mustang/Camaro/Challenger which is cool by it's own right and a 600cc sport bike for the price of a Jeep Wrangler. It's no decision.
The hood struts are awesome. I'm one of the short sh*ts you referred to. Also love my 67 designs magnetic holder for my iPod.
Love your videos, I get a lot of ideas. I work on a real small budget so I don’t do mods every month or every other month so I choose the mods a little wisely. But my best mod has to be my cold air intake , I saw an increase in fuel mileage and response. My second had to be my subwoofers. Sorry I’m an audio file geek. Lol. Thanks man 😎👍🏼👊🏼
I love the hood struts. Got them shortly after you made that video.
Is there such a thing as a taco holder for the dash? I’d like that.
Say no more fam
@@JKGearandGadgets Please make one
Lol
LMAO

Before I bought my JK I had an LJ. One day my son grabbed the stock cloth roll bar grab handle and went to fling himself in. The handle ripped off and he landed on his ass. The grab handles were the first thing I installed on the new JK. This old man doesn't need no broken hip.
Did the hood struts a long time ago $24 on Ebay yes works great, also changed all interior lights to led much brighter
What i like the most is rear door extander .
Thank’s
Keep up the vids man. Good work.
Another solid video sir. Thanks for posting and eagerly await the iDrive competition.
Thanks for sharing mods and using it as a daily. Considering buying one as first 4wd
My favorite mod is one that I got the idea for from you, which is the JL hood latches. They made a Huge difference in reducing hood flutter and look a 1000 times better than the factory JK hood latches.
Door extenders are such a great product for us broad shouldered guys.
After using obd jscan and resizing for my 35s my jeep does stall out anymore, has more power, proper throttle response, and goes into eco mode. Can't wait until my gears get put in so it'll just be even better. My mpg which I haven't reset yet went from 10.9 to 11.6 and still climbing.
Yup just recently bought the strap extensions because of you! And my kids so much better
This was a tough decision Ben but my fav user mod is my Dead Pedal. I know this is very different but it is awesome!!! Other favs are: J W Speaker head/fog lights, Surprise Straps grab handles & Drake off road shift knobs. Can not wait for the IDrive comparison vid. Keep the vids Comin’ brah 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
By far best mod of any vehicle, and saw you added as well, roll of that TP.. never know when you'll be hit with the urge. Always gotta be prepared..
Ben you got that jeep looking shiny!!
your personality makes your videos so interesting and nice to watch and you give so much info!
Love seat heaters. For old geezers like me, it’s more about the comfort of my back than actually keeping warm.
However, keeping warm is nice as well.
thank you. coupon code still active on hood struts, looks nicer than alternatives. delivers to Canada for $30. led hatch light does not ship Canada, will create my own.
I would second the comment about replacing the headlights. It is not a cheap mod if you use decent LEDs, but the improved visibility is worth it. I installed the JW Speaker headlights because they are plug and play, and still allow daylight running lights to operate, which is mandatory in Canada. Also, no flickering , like some of the cheaper LEDs
I have heated seats in my new to me Jeep and just ordered the grips!!
My most favorite and loved mod is the J Pro digital dash and the K1 head unit.
I personally like the cold air intake modification although there are haters in the off-road community I like it because it really helps out using my Jeep as a daily driver. I just have to be a little cautious in mud but so far I haven’t had any issues with mine. I bought a Spectre
Great video. Nice to finally see a simple video on Jeep mods. Also nice to find a video that didn't have some little Subaru boy whining about how bad his Jeep is. Have no idea why they bought one in the first place. I'm getting back into Jeep building after 10 years away and looking forward to it.
Nice video! Came back to this one for more ideas. Congrats on the move!
Nice! I love the red wranglers...the black accents it wonderfully. I just bought a 2017 that's been modified and I like the hatch strip lighting. I was torn between the red or the all black and ended up with the all black has been fully lifted. I hope to paint red accents inside.
Great video after those axle vids, cheers!
I have all those mods except hood struts. I have the factory seat warmers, they are great. My favorite is the JL hood latches.
That jeep is absolutely beautiful man. I absolutely love it.
Just purchased a 2018 Wrangler jk unlimited. Looking forward to mod it. Great videos
I have a 1997 jeep TJ with a 4 cylinder automatic and I installed a throttle body spacer on it and it’s quite a bit faster...That along with the 33’s in the 4 inch lift are my favorite mods
I just added heated leather seats in my ZJ and it really wasn't that bad to install. I agree they are a great upgrade.
@@Nastyhabitz I got the weather from a WJ and added seat warmers from Amazon.
As “Cool” things come to Market... I agree that what was “Cool” becomes not so Cool... I have the Pedal Commander, and when it came out... Was to Me... Awesome (at 250 + ) I’ll keep mine for a while... But I’m really looking forward to Your review this “New” Throttle Control device! 😃
Seat heaters are essential on long trips with not many stops, if you start getting tired or sore while driving, turn the heater up on the seat and you will feel much better for it, also if you are experiencing lower back pain put the heater on as the heat will travel up into your lower back and can ease the seating experience.
Great list. You have some awesome videos. I might need to look in to some of those items. We have a JLU on 37s that is our daily driver. Been doing some mod videos. We added the grab handles, but like you said, it is more for hanging on while driving around. The JLU came with some grab handles in the area where you mounted your more heavy duty ones. Might need to get those for our JK. Keep up the good work!
Wow, 37’s as your daily driver. Cool. What kind of mpg you getting? Did you regear? How much a lift did you do?
@@sallutz Haha thanks. It started as a JLU Rubicon with 4.10s. They come stock with 33s. I lifted it 2" and put on 37s. Never re-geared. It is also a manual and geared a bit lower than the autos. No issue. The JL Wranglers are great. We average about 14. Depends on who is driving. My wife drives and it goes up. I drive and it goes down. I have videos of it on my page if you want to check it out.
JEEP GENERATION awesome. I’ll check out your channel and vids. I ordered my first jeep about a week ago. JL Rubicon 2dr w/ soft top. I plan to keep it stock for a while, but ultimately will consider going with 37’s also. Thx for the reply and info. I’ve been wanting a Jeep forever (for many many years) and excited to finally get mine ordered!! Cheers.
Great points Sir! I also got a lifted Firecracker Red '14 JKU TONKA 4-Door on 37's with 144,000 plus Yukon Bush Miles. Ramsey Winches front, detachable rear and a box to contain it in along with 4 snatch blocks and straps. With tools, 3 pry bars, hatchet, knife, foldable shovel, 5 days worth of food(Yukon smoked dried salmon) and small wall tent for just in case while traveling to work for my 2 weeks on job. The company stresses that the vehicles built today have to live up to its predecessors Legendary standards to have the Trail Rated badge.
Military Proven Product Name known throughout the Globe for its abilities and toughness!
Ha I bought the hood struts this summer but never put them on. I totally forgot about them until I watched this video. I guess I have a quick weekend project now.
Haha 😂. They are extremely useful!
For any daily driver jk I’d say a nice set of headlights is a must. But for a daily driver jk that’s lifted with some big tires I’d say a psc big bore steering gear. My JKU is on 37’s and I just recently installed a psc gear and wish I’d done it sooner.
5:19 Subbed because of that remark
😂 I’m wondering how many people unsubbed from that as well
Nickname is midget... ❤️
I need one of those throttle controllers great video!
Best one I ever did was my Grab Bars. On the driver side I have a ram mount for my phone attached to the grab bar and a USB/fast charger for my phone to charge while in the cradle. It's out of the way yet still available in case I'm using Google maps or Bluetoothing to the radio.
I also put in heated seats and I recommend doing heated seats on all vehicles they are amazing videos
Storage mods lol. Im ocd about being organized and they have a lot of cool storage solutions for jeeps. I also really like the table on the back door. I go out to the back of my land and read, smoke a cigar and have coffee on that table almost everyday the weather permits.
Seat heaters 🤘 Canadian winters, 35 below, you'll thank god for these seats ;)
Great. Idea as always bro!
5:15 I'd rather just keep putting my hood all the way back than spend 80 dollars on struts. That makes it easier to work on anyways
My smart door stops are awesome. Wife loves that the doors don't swing around anymore!
Great list and great video, now get back to the axles 👍👍
Haha I know I know 😅
Love the videos!! Much appreciated
My favorite mod is my brandinmotion adjustable backup camera.
I loveeeeeee seat warmers 😍
Haha I’m going to tell the wife about the seat heaters! I’ll blame it on you lol nice video
Swapping out those janky stock headlights is something I would highly recommend for a daily driver!
The vibe on your videos is top notch, you have a new sub 😅
Great Video! I loved how you discussed things in this video. If anyone looking for used jeep parts and accessories then contact parts breakers.
Hopefully it’s almost time for your idrive compare video. Patiently waiting for the discount code.
I love the I Drive.... so awesome. And I would have to say the grab handles. But the most important thing besides the I drive is headlights!!!!!!!! Get good AMERICAN made headlights...
Thanks man, nice video
Grab Handles segment was NOT Boring at all. I am in Australia though and I just bought a sending hand 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK Shorty 4x4 Sport, and she did not come with Grab a handles, so it’s great to know that there are options out there. Sad,t my Jeep does not have any of the cool Easter egg pictures 🥺😢 but I am so in love with my Jeep 🥰🥰❤️❤️
First time watching, great info.
Love your videos man. Im wondering what rear bumper your running
#1 mod (not cheap) for me was tires. The factory rubber had zero traction in mud, snow, rocks. Got 80,000 miles out of my first set of BFG AT TA KOII’s, and working on the second set. At that kind of mileage, I’d call them cheap.
I like your video! Thanks friend
I’m about to get a 2013 Jeep Moab Edition. Love your videos!
I just got one for my birthday 😂 did you end up getting it?
That Gum Is Climbing Out of Your Mouth nope. The dealership sold it, even though I had money down on it. 🤷🏼♂️
@@bricemiller6703 that sucks man hopefully you can find one soon. You don't see many moabs out on the road.
That Gum Is Climbing Out of Your Mouth no you don’t. And Vegas is full of Jeeps. Someday I’ll get a keep.
My best mod and cheaper one, is a momentary switch for the abs/esp to completely kill it off! I live in Canada and we have a lot of snow this winter...
I’ve been thinking of adding that!
Thanks for reminding me!
Always good video BTW! i love it!
Your Jeep looks great 👍
Amazon $93 DOT headlights are my best investment so far.
I would say the same but I'm on my 3rd set in a year and a half
@@fogstain which ones are you buying? Mine have been good for about 8 months so far
Amazon is shit
@@gab4690 3.5 years. Cree LED. Not 1 fkicker.
They still working?
Grab handles, magnetic cell phone holder, front and rear covers for lights, spare tire cover, and wheel locks
My Yj the 10 speed bike hand throttle. I can skip the clutch hold the brake and add throttle as needed on the rocks.
