Rob's videos are always good, this one is outstanding. The only thing I did extra was to check all four tabs even after I discovered the correct one, just to double check.
In the beginning of this video I thought this is going to be combined rocket science and brain surgery level complicated but seeing how it's done, it is actually really easy! Awesome video, expertly presented and easy to understand. Kudos guys!
This video was incredibly helpful! At first I thought I was going to have to try to guess 8 different pin locations, have to do some mathematical rocket science and pray to an ancient Mopar god or 2 to get this locking gas cap to actually work with my keys. Rob did an absolute awesome job of simplifying and explaining the process, while keeping everything organized and showing each and every step along the way. I painstakingly followed every instruction exactly and it worked like magic! I had it all put together, locked in place, and installed onto my Jeep in less than 40 minutes! I previously purchased the Mopar Locking Gas Cap and brought it into a certified Jeep Dealership. They seemed incredibly annoyed that I even asked them to attempt to key the gas cap, rushed through the process and ended up fumbling, bumbling and ruining it permanently. The second time I purchased the locking gas cap, I watched this video. Thanks Quadratec and thanks Rob! You saved me having to fork over the extra money for a locksmith and a lot of lost time and frustration! 👍😁
Great tutorial! I was a little nervous at first with their being 16,777,215 (2^24 - 1) wrong ways of doing this, but the video provided an excellent, clear explanation on how to do it, and I was able to knock this out in under 30 minutes. Thanks Quadratec! You rock Rob!
Excellent video!! Followed your approach and installed the pins to match my key exactly. I suggest drawing out your work area just as Rob did.....very methodical and works like a charm. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the good work.👍
Hi guys at Quadratec this is RedRex1, awesome video from you guys to patiently showing us jeep owner how to be able to do and work with the products that quadratec sells. Thanks quadratec and all staff members .
Dude, you are the MAN!!! I went to the dealership and they told me that it would cost $300 to key the lock. I did it myself fairly easily with your awesome guidance and video. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
Purchased this item from Quadratec BEFORE my Wrangler was even delivered! Followed these instructions to the letter today to set-up the lock and everything went perfectly. Installed new gas cap and tested the locking mechanism, job done! Thanks Quadratec!
I had coffee ready at hand, thinking about how difficult this was going to be, but honestly This step by step video made it much more easier to understand, no need to rush it, pause the video if you have to so as to not get overwhelmed, overall great video and it works!!!👍🏼🗝also it was $70.00 dollars, but well worth it!!!!!
Bought the gas cap on Amazon, and most the reviews said “go watch the video on TH-cam” and they are correct. No way I would have been able to do this without THIS video. Thank you!
I got the Mopar locking hood kit for JL’s. It’s the single center lock in the top middle of the grill. It’s the same concept for keying that barrel lock. Except the barrel has 3 “left” slots and 4 “right” slots. Comes with the same kind of keys, A-D left, A-D right. Keep in mind they in no way match up to the key combination from the barrel on the locking gas cap. Completely different key combination. Also, this kit is almost 100% in pieces. You have to put almost everything together.
I watched this video twice to get all the information correctly.... I don't even own a jeep, by the way. Great video, though. Hopefully, I will get one of those one day.
The video is a great tutorial, it was extremely helpful. The gas cap worked perfectly with no issues. The only thing i did differently was coated the springs and lock tumblers in a very thin coat of grease during final assembly. Thanks for the help.
Hey Rob! 21 Gladiator and actually had gas siphoned from me overnight a week after I got it! Excellent demonstration. I'm a 6th grade math teacher, and your "trial and error" technique is the epitome of "guess and check" problem solving in my class. Not to mention a real world application! Using this in my classroom as an example. I was blown away by your organization and step by step process - equally amazed when it worked. Thank you!!
I agree with what Juan said: Your initial description of the procedure made me a bit nervous, but it turned out to be kind of fun. Thank you, Rob and Quadratec for that fantastic video! I’m not sure, but that might have been the first time I’ve worked on my Jeep at my desk.
So Mopar can make money on parts that come standard on every other vehicle, and get to tell you that you are special because your vehicle is "fully customizable"
Thankyou so much You made that so easy and the tech at the jeep dealership said he couldn’t do it so he gave me employee discount and said that would cover the locksmith’s cost So I saved money for once lol Well explained and Thank you again
Rob the 🐐 !! Just installed on my 23’ Wrangler. Had me a little shook in the beginning and was thinking what have I got myself into, but it was a piece of cake! Thanks!
Thanks for making that so easy! I do agree with the others though... paid $60,000 all said and done for my 2021 jeep and I don't think I should have to be doing this lol. But thanks to you guys for helping a brother out!
Best install video EVER!!!! I watched it a couple of times... did my paper just like the example and literally blew through the install of the pins. Great video and way to assemble this cap!
Got this for my new Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited Rubicon, with this Video was it very easy to assemble. Thank you so much for this ! Greetings from Germany ;-)
Awesome! After watching this I was able to get it keyed in less than five minutes!!! After I was told by some service people they couldn’t do it unless they had a special technician...
Outstanding instructions to set up the Mopar gas cap. Easy to follow, lots of pointers. I was able to complete it in no time and it worked great. Thank you Rob.....
I put the side with the rounded edges into the slot. I'm assuming the edges are rounded so the pin doesn't bind when you push it into the slot if it's not aligned perfectly.
Thank you, this was indispensable. I wish you had pointed out that if you "test fit the cylinder in the cap it locks and is unserviceable" i.e. you are hosed, earlier in the video. It would have saved me $130 buying a second one. But the directions are spot on. Also MAKE SURE YOU TEST WITH THE SPRINGS IN. I did it without the springs and got BL, BR, BL CR and it worked fine (in my first botched attempt) when I got the new cap I tried it again with the springs and I got AL, AR, CL, CR and it fit perfect. So IT MATTERS! But the vid is great, if a bit slow, otherwise. Thanks again.
Awesome job Rob! Thanks for breaking it down and making it look possible. I’m going to order my locking gas cap and set up a work table just like he video and do this myself.
Next video suggestion: Any guidance on the keying approach for the glove box and center console lid locks? The lock looks similar but has 5 pins - 4 are the similar/same, 1 is a lock pin (assumption). I followed the process outlined here but did not get the 'locking pin ??' correct - had to drill it out. Willing to try again but will need some guidance.
@@wizardsyndicate5505 The keying process held up but the gas cap part started to lightly rust and started to feel a bit grindy to get it unlocked/locked turn motion (where you put in the key). I would only do it again if you live and park somewhere urban or suburban where you have to worry. But be ready to monitor it and replace it before it gets too badly rusted.
Great video Rob! This video was perfect, I bought one and followed your steps. Took me about 10 mins once I opened and sorted the little bags. Thanks for making this video so easy to follow!
First time I did it, didn't work. I missed the part where each pin needs to be flush on both sides of the cylinder. Once I figured that out, it worked. I think I was also paranoid to lock it since there is no turning back. Thankfully, all was correct and worked just like in the video.
I’m going to be able to use this to rekey the under seat lockable storage i was able to snag off eBay. Had to buy new handles and locks, but this should make it a breeze. Thanks Rob
Unfortunately i made the mistake of taking this job to a locksmith. The "locksmith" said he normally doesn't work with these sidewinder type keys but he'd be willing to work on it. After 30 min or so he told me he installed it but couldn't get it to work and his boss told him to stop working on it. Now the cylinder is inside the cap and the key doesn't work. I've decided to give it a shot myself now and follow this video. Question: How do i remove the cylinder and start over?

Nice job Rob, Even I can do it ( I think? ). But a lot off these parts should be already installed in your $50,000 plus Jeep .
In the beginning of this video I thought this is going to be combined rocket science and brain surgery level complicated but seeing how it's done, it is actually really easy! Awesome video, expertly presented and easy to understand. Kudos guys!
I would need a day off to do this job properly : )
I just completed this a couple of hours ago. All I needed was this video to show me the concept, and the rest was cake. Thanks for the info!
Excellent walkthrough. Followed the process exactly as outlined, and it was much easier to DIY than scheduling an appointment at a dealer.
Glad it helped!

Received their product this afternoon, followed this tutorial video this evening, and all done! Amazing, very clear and clean , step by step! Bravo!

Thanks for the video. Made the job easier! Took me only 5 mins to set the lock after I watched the video.
Fantastic tutorial video! Got the lock keyed in 25 minutes after watching the video once. Works like a charm! Thank you!

I bought this cap and installed on my Gladiator. I followed along with the video and it worked perfectly. Great easy to follow video. Thank you.
I know its been a few years since you installed but how is it holding up?
@@geofflau3002 Holding up good. Still locks as it should and holds the seal as it should should.
I had coffee ready at hand, thinking about how difficult this was going to be, but honestly This step by step video made it much more easier to understand, no need to rush it, pause the video if you have to so as to not get overwhelmed, overall great video and it works!!!👍🏼🗝also it was $70.00 dollars, but well worth it!!!!!
Excellent instructional video. Clear and concise! Got this done quickly without a glitch on the locking gas cap. Superb job Rob.
Bought the gas cap on Amazon, and most the reviews said “go watch the video on TH-cam” and they are correct. No way I would have been able to do this without THIS video. Thank you!
Yeah, hope you support quadratec now by buying from them vs amazon. Amazon didn’t take the time to make the video.
Excellent directions. I followed all the suggestions and ended with a perfectly functioning locking gas cap.

Totally worked for me. Watched the video once and then keyed the lock. Didn’t need to refer to the video again because the explanation was so solid.
The video is a great tutorial, it was extremely helpful. The gas cap worked perfectly with no issues. The only thing i did differently was coated the springs and lock tumblers in a very thin coat of grease during final assembly. Thanks for the help.
Very well done Rob. Keep up the good work Quadratec👍

I’m not sure, but that might have been the first time I’ve worked on my Jeep at my desk.
Why isn't this standard equipment?
So Mopar can make money on parts that come standard on every other vehicle, and get to tell you that you are special because your vehicle is "fully customizable"
is it the 100 $ for a lockable Mopar gas cap ? maybe?
Thankyou so much
You made that so easy and the tech at the jeep dealership said he couldn’t do it so he gave me employee discount and said that would cover the locksmith’s cost
So I saved money for once lol
Well explained and Thank you again

Excellent video took me 15 minutes to assemble correctly i did watch the video before starting and again as a step by step while assembling.
Thanks for the excellent instructions. Assembled my kit tonight while watching your video.
Got this for my new Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited Rubicon, with this Video was it very easy to assemble.
Thank you so much for this !
Greetings from Germany ;-)
If I had hair,I would've pulled it out. Nice job Rob. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
Incredibly helpful. Makes the job easy for those who a little security
Thank you for this great video! My husband and I just installed this and we followed your video and chart layout! Success!
Step by Step! Doesn’t get any better than this!
Tell your friends!
Just installed mine, worked like a charm, thank you for your videos, because of you now, i have a peace of mind.
Aloha from Hawaii, ROB! Thanks for the install VID, I just installed this MOPAR locking gas cap, pretty easy install thanks to you MAHALO \m/
Amazing video, thank you so much! was able to easily follow along and key the lock before the video finished by just following along 💜
Excellent video. I did it successfully and if I can do it anyone can. One little hint - a magnifying glass will be helpful. The key codes are small.
Awesome! After watching this I was able to get it keyed in less than five minutes!!! After I was told by some service people they couldn’t do it unless they had a special technician...
Awesome video! Just competed doing mine and after watching this it only took 10 minutes tops. New locking cap works flawlessly. 👍🏽
I just purchased the rubicon! Definitely getting this! Best investment
You saved my bacon. You rock! Thanks Rob!!
great job! I was able to key my lock in 10 mins thanks to this video! It would have taken me for ever otherwise.
My dealer want 160€ for the job 😮... after this video I did it in 15 min. Perfect 👍
Great video. Just did this while watching. It was much easier than I thought. (Helped having the video along the way!) thanks quadratec!
Great tutorial! I just followed along and it works perfect on my 2024 Wrangler.
Excellent video! Worked perfectly on my own gas cap! Rob you made it easy, keep up the good work!
Thank you for the detailed instructions. Was able to get this done for my wife's wrangler and she's pretty happy. Thanks again
Outstanding instructions to set up the Mopar gas cap. Easy to follow, lots of pointers. I was able to complete it in no time and it worked great. Thank you Rob.....
Great video, success in about 10 mins. Very thankful!!
Don't know how it could get easier than this. Thanks!
You ROCK Rob, thank you sir… My lock is now ready to install
The locking pin is flat on one side and has rounded edges on the other. Which side goes into the slot?
I put the side with the rounded edges into the slot. I'm assuming the edges are rounded so the pin doesn't bind when you push it into the slot if it's not aligned perfectly.
OMG.. great job on making this so simple… awesome awesome explanation!!!

Like Butter..... Awesome step by step. Thank you for the demonstration.
Great video Rob! Install went perfect, thanks to you!
Very Good Video ! Got the gas cap and with the info of this vid got mine done in just 30 min. And the best part of this I now have my key code !
This video is spot on! Thanks Rich! It made (what looked like) a difficult task into a piece of cake…and it was kinda fun!
excellent video! was able to follow along and get the lock keyed... enjoyed the task! thank you

Thanks for the helpful tutorial. Just installed this on my JL!
Super easy! Just follow the steps. I color coded the parts chart to make visually simpler.
Despite being tricky to set up, this seems like a great idea. I live in the city and park all over the place. Better to be proactive about security.
Great video Rob! This video was perfect, I bought one and followed your steps. Took me about 10 mins once I opened and sorted the little bags. Thanks for making this video so easy to follow!

Great video, thanks for your technical and organizational help. Especially since the kit I received came with no instructions!
Very good video - no problems following the steps!
very easy! Excellent instructions and easy to follow!
THANK YOU! (I was dying on this job, because these things don't come with instructions)! :)
Very nice tutorial, really seems you have to take your time and have patience! Will give this a go,m thanks for the help!!
Glad it was helpful!
Followed along and success…I did it! Thanks for all the tips!
Followed these instructions ans was done in 10 mins or less. watching the video took longer lol. Thank You!
I’m going to be able to use this to rekey the under seat lockable storage i was able to snag off eBay. Had to buy new handles and locks, but this should make it a breeze. Thanks Rob
You're very welcome!
Glad the video helped you out!
Excellent video. I’ve just ordered the locking gas cap, your video is an inspiration.
Thank you for your video! Very easy to follow.
Excellent how-to...did my lock coding without any problems!
Thanks for this video, I was able to follow along and now have a successfully locking and (more importantly) unlocking gas cap with my factory JL key!
sheesh!!! Thanks Rob!!! definitely will need one for my Gladiator
THANK YOU!!!! This video was great and made this so easy.
you're the man Rob
this looks like fun to me its like a puzzle
Perfect explained. Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much! This worked perfectly for me.
Just keyed cap for Gladiator and video made it beyond easy.
Thanks alot. Worked just like you explained.
Glad it helped
Excellent directions. Thanks!!
Great instructional video! Thanks!
