I have the Rough Country version of the grab bars, one of the best practical interior upgrades that I have done. The bars are super sturdy and a ton more useful than those cheap strap on things. The rear seat recline mod is next on my list. Thanks for the awesome video!
Those grab handles are pretty trick! And if they're the right diameter, one could color coordinate them by using mountain bike grips on the end, they come on tons of colors and styles.
Look at all that dog hair... A Jeep wouldn't be home without a dog. I had the strap handles in mine. I kept them tucked up between the bar and the top. Just like you didn't realize the back seats were so uncomfortable, passengers don't have anything to hold onto while riding. The driver, however, always has the steering wheel. I found that the strap handles were always used more while riding, than climbing in.
Flip your rear view mirror. This will increase visibility out the window and out the back window. It turns it upside down then pushes it up higher on the window. Best Free upgrade. Try it and let us know what you think. As Always, the best jeep videos!!! Keep it up.
autoedit I noticed you have the map lights on yours. That would be a good reason not to flip it. I'll be interested in seeing if you felt it was worth it since you would be loosing functionality.
Just got myself a 2012 unlimited sahara and was looking for stuff to do and came across your video, and now I think I'm going to be doing all 3! Great video and looking forward to more, just subbed!
Now you Just need a set of Morimoto super7 headlights to match you new tail lights. www.morimotohid.com/fog-lights/morimoto-super7-jeep-wrangler-led-headlights.html
One tip from having done this a few times, if you start with the outboard legs of the back seat, you can flip them up and out of the way and then get easier access with a cheater bar to the inboard legs. This also helps when putting them back in. You can get a much better angle on them. I am glad you had the tip to flip the seat up to take the back bolts out. It is really difficult to get those out when you are leaning on the seat instead of moving it out of the way. Don't ask me how I know that. An impact wrench could break the nut underneath free if you really over do it. Sometimes it is better to just use copious amounts of elbow grease. I use the impact wrench when I can though too. Great video thanks!
The Gra-Bars concern me because the second you're in a roll over or other wreck they become a significant hazard for your head, where the nylon and rubber grips are much less likely to cause a severe head injury.
When you decided to go "easy mode" for one of the seat bolts... what was that power wrench you were using? Just got a 2017 Wrangler and my wimpy socket wrench will probably break before those bolts come loose (yes, been trying for two days even with a bar).
Great video!!! I just purchased the lights, seat kit, and the grab bars! The site has 10% off which is nice. $422.83 for everything! I hope the led lights hold up and don’t start burning out on us. 😀👍
I just wanna say that, every install with your guidance is simple for me, maybe that`s why I`m studying mechatronics. I can clearly see who drives back seats by a lot of dog hair. Pinto as always very help full. High five !!!
I actually just got done making the first two mods in this video. The bolts on my back seats were super hard to take off, but was able to manage it. The backseat is way more comfortable now, the grab bars are amazing, super helpful. Haven't done the brake lights yet, hopefully soon. But thank you for your video, super easy install. Keep up the good work brother. Your videos are awesome. Thank you again.
What is the height of your Jeep minus the AEV roof rack??? Also, when you busted out the impact gun you should’ve done a Tim ‘The Tool Man’ Taylor grunt...😆💪🏻
I love that jeeps are pretty customizable and more importantly, you can use a multitude of different aftermarket parts that aren’t proprietary. That said, I find it kind of silly that you couldn’t simply recline your seats back further without having to go through all this trouble…
ya - so. I'm experienced and have a fair amount of tools - but am new to Jeeps. I did the recline kit yesterday - prob took about 5 hours and while not difficult at all, I can't imagine how anyone without experience would be able to get those bolts out of the seats if they are rusted! I suggest spraying them with a rust buster or something like that and let it sit for a few hours on all the bolts (both at the bolt head and at the threads underneath the Jeep). Impact wrench did not budge them, and had limited space to utilize a cheater bar. Seat belt tip also good - pull it all the way out then let it retract, so that it locks in place; also recommend pushing the legs all the way up too, to get them out of the way. Thanks for these vids, amigo! BTW, I also sprung a leak lol.
Just got done putting some grab bars on my black JKUR guess it’s a coincidence 😂. Shocked at how useful they are. What I did with my old cloth handles is put them on the headrest on jeep and now it’s another point to grab onto and singed the excess nylon off. 100% worth it. Always wondered how do you jeep your jeep so clean? I struggle to keep mine clean even not off-roading hehe.
That is a great tip on what to do with the old handles! It's funny when I watch some of the videos because the Jeep does look really clean but in real life it's pretty normal looking all the time.
Jason, I'm considering a new Wrangler JL, so I have been watching a number of videos on Jeeps. As a voice over guy and someone who does some industrial videos, I'm a HUGE critic of some of the people doing TH-cam videos. (I critique myself harshly too.) Some guys talk in a sing-songy voice (apparently they think it sounds like a news reporter or something), while others try TOO hard to be funny or entertaining. Others always say THEE for the word "the" or AYE for the word "a" (uh)... they just sound stilted and unnatural. Still others turn five minutes of material into a 20 minute video of rambling and repetitiveness. You, on the other hand, were just natural and conversational. Your tip of the hat to Troy McClure was amusing without trying too hard for a laugh. You spoke to the camera (your viewers, actually) like you were just chatting with a friend. You demonstrated your work thoroughly, yet concisely. Really NICE work. I don't subscribe to a lot of pages, but I will subscribe to yours.
This is really, really nice to hear! Thanks so much for the detailed input and thoughts! Welcome to the channel and hope to interact with you more in the future!
6:35 be cautious using a cheater pipe with a ratcheting wrench. Too much torque can break the ratchet mechanism. Better to use a crescent or a non-ratcheting socket wrench.
Hi..I am a jeep fanatic and I am getting one soon..How is a 2017 Rubicon which has been customised in your view...And I am planning to add a third row too...Hoping to hear from you
Great vid and upgrades. To get an even better rear seating angle/recline, don't install front spacers. when you recline your front seats, just the back reclines not the bottom part. Think about it, Right. the bolts are easy to take out now it try. love the vids keep them comimg.
Nice video of the seat spacers. I have them and have been waiting to put them on. Thought it would be a bit harder but u did it easy. Have all the other stuff already. Thx
Man wif could push the whole seat back a bit, cause it's just my wife, new born and me. That car seat almost makes it impossible for anyone to sit in the passenger seat. My wife has to sit in the back with the baby.
Excellent vid! I'm looking at buying a 16' Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock in the next week or so and I'm definitely gonna get this seat kit and likely the grab bars. It's already got JW Speaker heads and tails👍👍
I took all the seats out of my gf jeep because she was getting the tub linex-ed and I can say I busted just about every one of my knuckles breaking those bolts loose
hey mr because of you I did all 3 of these on christmas morning by myself in my pajamas in my driveway it was awesome and easy as hell thank you , now I have a question to any and all that might read this , I have just purchased ZROADZ jk rear spot lights that mount on the glass door hinges and a set of the back up spot lights for mounting on top of your rear tail lights they are awesome ! and so easy to install but the maker supplies zero instructions on how to wire them other than stupidly running the cables thru your window between the glass and the seal gasket and watching many vids on youtube not one company will tell you otherwise but they all say the same thing , there are so many ways to do it we dont want to show you on here ? it is crazy anyway i just thought I would cast it out there and do some fly fishin to see if I get a bite Many thanks for the great vids autoedit
Glad to hear I inspired a pajama wrenching party on your Jeep! As for routing wires out the back... for the rear license plate stuff I have ... I routed out the rear into the area behind the tail light and down through the foam out underneath the body. Maybe look into that.
I just bought a Jeep (used) and it came with the grab bars, and I absolutely love them! I'm a big guy so there's no way I'd dare use the factory ones lol.
I like that you muscled through the bolts showing you don't need an impact for every install. Makes me feel I can do more things even though I don't have money for something like that, so good job! Love the videos!! Edit. I started typing this at 7:58. Then you bring out the impact for some fun! That was awesome haha.
I have switched out my taillights for the LED. My question is, I’m know looking for a metal guard line I had for my standard taillights to protect them. Do the make anything to cover the KED taillights?
I got you beat. mine are all zipped down windows 😅 pain in the butt at times 😁, especially when you pull through a drive-thru🤣have to replace about every 2 years due to the scratches.. mine's a 2016 4 door Jeep standard 6-speed Jk Wrangler sport unlimited. just a plain traditional Jeep. I do miss my manual stuff at times 😆
Cool easy upgrades, but I'm surprised you didn't steam clean your carpet while you had the seats up. Not a cheap shot Sir, just admire your attention to detail.
your dog looks exactly like mine... her name is Niña (girl in Spanish) I actually bought a Cherokee XJ so I can take her and my other 2 dogs on trips... Love the handles!!!
Great video. I did the rear seat mod a while ago. I just bought some washers from Lowe's. On a note...nice channel. I love all that you've done to your Jeep.
I have to agree. $55 for a few spacers is a pretty stupid price point! I think I just found the 4-pack of GraBars for the same price! Time to start ordering!!!
Те два крепления в виде трубы конечно не безопасный сзади уменьшают дверной проем по высоте, и бится об них не так удобно как об мягкую часть каркаса.... Лайфхак с сидениями отличный, а ручки конечно стоит доработать.
Awesome vid as always!! I still want a tube sock shirt!!!!! My next install is finally an exhaust then some new diff covers and rock lights. Happy holidays.
another "cheater bar" method is to slide a close ended wrench over the handle of the ratchet or breaker bar (think of an L shape) to help add torque, this is usually easier in tighter spaces.
If you had asked me to guess where those junky tail lights came from, I would have guessed J.C. Whitney. I love those guys, but they will sell any product.
While the hand grips definitely help with entering and exiting the car.....they make a nice blender blade when you have an accident. I am sure manufacturers put safety first when making the soft straps. Also the hard ones might puncture air bags????
My job will write you up for using a snipe. (Cheater). Because of a few people I guess that aren’t familiar with work and slipping. But we usually deal with high torque
Yea, I'd pull out the battery impact wrench for this for sure, lol. I bled enough breaking loose the red loctite that was on the body mount bolts when I installed my rock sliders. 😆
This vid helps a lot. I'm picking up my 1st Wrangler JK on Monday! And I have a problem, I can't keep things stcok when I get them. I HAVE to add my flavor to it. This vid gives me a good idea on where to start before I spend BIG $$ on 'unnecessary' stuff... Lol ✌🏽
Tail lights will not work if you have a tow package. The connectors for the trailer are on the left side tail light. Probably why only the right side was shown. If you don’t plan on towing anything, no worries.
I had to laugh on seat spacers. I spent hours getting those bolts out. Busted knuckles, had to get 1\2 Harbor Friegh breaker bar because I though I would break my 3\8 drive because of lock tight! Great video!
I had to laugh also. I had the spacers before I got the Jeep. First day I had it was when I put them in and it was still difficult. It took me a few hours and a lot of swearing, blood, ave sweet. But definitely worth it. Only cost me $23.
Easily one of the most disappointing and frustrating projects I've ever taken on. Bolts literally felt like they were welded on....to the point I thought the threads were already cross-threaded from the factory somehow. Finally got them all off with two solid straight hours of swearing and then, with the spacers in place, the holes WOULD NOT line up with the threads in the floor. The seat bracket would not allow the bolt to line up straight to start threading. I just knew I was going to fully trash the threads trying to get them to go. Finally gave up and could barely get the bracket holes and floor threads to align enough to get the bolts starts without the spacers. Even after oiling the bolts and starting by hand, a hammer driver only got them in 1/4 of the way. Elbow grease the rest of the way. Ridiculous.
Love your videos as always. I did the GraBar install awhile back on my ‘17 Recon. They must have used a metric ton of locktite on the bolts. I eventually needed to run a die tap to clear our the threads and then it was as easy as you showed. Keep up the good work!
Wow, the instructions did mention that it may need a run through with the stock bolt with a bit of oil on it to clean the threads and yours is an extreme case... glad I didn't need that as well!
NICE!! Video help me a lot. Im from South Texas, I speak spanish one little observation nothing related to the video, but you call you dog a male name, "pinto". if you want to call your dog you can call her "Pinta", thats more girly name.
bout 8;32 you could tell how scared you were to bust a knuckle with the way your fingers were twitching mine do it to when im on a scetchy angled bolt or something really tight that i know if the ratchet brakes or slips off im gonna be bleeding
I'm sorry, I disagree with the grab bars. It's hurts more hitting your head on the rear grab bars. I took mine out and went to the soft ones. Also, the rear seat incline kit installed, does the seat fold flat properly or does it sit higher?

14:55 "This is one of those things I'm going to use every single time I get in and out of my Jeep..." Immediately uses steering wheel to get out lol
lol
Yup saw that too hehehe!
Haha that is too good
I use the stock straps and they work great
He should have done it purposely trolling and used the steering wheel more dramatically.
I have the Rough Country version of the grab bars, one of the best practical interior upgrades that I have done. The bars are super sturdy and a ton more useful than those cheap strap on things. The rear seat recline mod is next on my list. Thanks for the awesome video!
Yeah buddy! Thanks for watching and saying hey!
Woke up at 2am to the alert. Learned some things. Going to sleep. Doing them Monday.
Wow, Awesome! That rules!
Ya i have grab bars [orange] match color.
what size tires are those
Those grab handles are pretty trick! And if they're the right diameter, one could color coordinate them by using mountain bike grips on the end, they come on tons of colors and styles.

Flip your rear view mirror.
This will increase visibility out the window and out the back window. It turns it upside down then pushes it up higher on the window.
Best Free upgrade.
Try it and let us know what you think.
As Always, the best jeep videos!!! Keep it up.
I use the map lights on the bottom of the mirror at night often... flipping it would lose those tho??? OK I'll try it!
autoedit I noticed you have the map lights on yours. That would be a good reason not to flip it.
I'll be interested in seeing if you felt it was worth it since you would be loosing functionality.
My DREAM CAR.... All I can do is dream😂😂😂. I'll just continue to look at yours and picture myself in it😂😂😂. Beautiful truck. Perfection!
Thanks!
im about to get mine this month, hopefully, ive been waiting 14months
Manifest !!
Just got myself a 2012 unlimited sahara and was looking for stuff to do and came across your video, and now I think I'm going to be doing all 3! Great video and looking forward to more, just subbed!
Welcome and thanks so much! The Wrangler is a great platform for all kinds of little projects to custom tune it to your tastes!
I just came across this today, over to amazon to get the incline spacers now!! Probably the grab bars too
Had an 07 JK and in 08 I stacked washers to accomplish the same thing on the rear seat. :)
Your intro was great..reminds me of troy mcclure
Glad you got that!
I’m definitely going to need a husband 🤦🏾♀️
Much respect ✊🏽 ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏿 for the women that can.. I’m just not one of them lol
LOL! Well I'm glad you watched and took a moment to leave a great comment!
You look great @ tia. Maybe we can laugh at our wedding anniversary about how we met watching a you tube video about a Jeep Wrangler
I’ll be ur hubby Tia no worries

HA! I like the “Simpsons” reference in the beginning
Glad you got that!!!
Haha should have said "haw-haw" -Nelson
Classic Troy McClure! RIP Phil Hartman
@@AutoEdits you and I ordered JR to be ready Rudd
Did you just go Count of Sesame Street. What what !!
Why yes I did... lol Glad you got that!
OMG these are soo easy that even this chic can do it! Ordering my parents and installing these bad boys in my Rubicon💪🏼🤟🏻
Love hearing this!
small improvements make a huge difference.
Agreed!
The Gra-Bars concern me because the second you're in a roll over or other wreck they become a significant hazard for your head, where the nylon and rubber grips are much less likely to cause a severe head injury.
My thoughts too. Not worth the risk
Thanks for this comment. Completely overlooked that aspect.
puppetmaster518 I think for MOST people, the reward is greater than the risk...like most things
4:24 "I'm gonna work on this nut here, let's see how hard this one's gonna be" 4:32 "The nuts aren't that bad" EPIC
lol
When you decided to go "easy mode" for one of the seat bolts... what was that power wrench you were using? Just got a 2017 Wrangler and my wimpy socket wrench will probably break before those bolts come loose (yes, been trying for two days even with a bar).
That was just a standard air impact gun... get at home depot or wherever.
this has to be my favorite TH-cam Channel! Keep it up man!
You are the best! Thanks so much for the support!!!
Great video!!! I just purchased the lights, seat kit, and the grab bars! The site has 10% off which is nice. $422.83 for everything! I hope the led lights hold up and don’t start burning out on us. 😀👍
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for letting us know there's a discount as well. I'm only a few weeks but everything is doing great so far!
Anytime they use power tools I have my doubts about “anyone” can do
It was a giant pain in the ass
Need AT LEAST a nice breaker bar
Hi,Where can I buy the rear seat recline kit for the Wrangler JK. I went on the 4WD website and I can't find it. Thanks.
www.innovativejkproducts.com/shop/
I just wanna say that, every install with your guidance is simple for me, maybe that`s why I`m studying mechatronics. I can clearly see who drives back seats by a lot of dog hair. Pinto as always very help full. High five !!!

4th upgrade...cut the section with the middle two doors off...you'll lose 400 lbs.!
I need the space.
What is the height of your Jeep minus the AEV roof rack??? Also, when you busted out the impact gun you should’ve done a Tim ‘The Tool Man’ Taylor grunt...😆💪🏻
79" at the tallest point in the rear without rack.
grunt, grunt, grunt!
Rip Phil Hartman 🤯🤯
can't say im a huge fan of those tail lights... stock looks much better, more classic, not sure how to put it... other two were cool upgrades!!
brown. I bet they like seeing your brown starfish
Love your videos. I installed LED headlights a few months back.... Wow what a difference. Great upgrade ideas.
do you think baby car seats could still be used after putting in the incline spacers? thanks. Great video
Yes, absolutely
Do the front grab bars interfere with peripheral vision? I hate things in my line of sight in any direction.
I don't even notice them.
I love that jeeps are pretty customizable and more importantly, you can use a multitude of different aftermarket parts that aren’t proprietary. That said, I find it kind of silly that you couldn’t simply recline your seats back further without having to go through all this trouble…
Dude... Did this guy just Troy McClure us at the beginning?!
Why yes I did... glad you got that reference!
going to do this.
edit: i got arrested for breaking into my neighbor's jeep to put these mods on there. apparently it's vandalism or some shit.
This is really funny! Your neighbor is crazy...LOL
ya - so. I'm experienced and have a fair amount of tools - but am new to Jeeps.

Do I love my friends enough to slice my forearm open...hmmm.
lol
Great vid and upgrades. To get an even better rear seating angle/recline, don't install front spacers. when you recline your front seats, just the back reclines not the bottom part. Think about it, Right. the bolts are easy to take out now it try. love the vids keep them comimg.
i like this! you’ll end up getting a more flatter seat
20 min for upgrade 2 with an impact. Love the new leg room.
I just did the recline kit today. I really wish my back 3 nuts would have gone as easy as yours haha.
I've heard they can be tough!
Wow great video especially the back seat recline thanks
Glad you liked it!
10 mil Socket? What Kind of sorcery is that??
LOL
Nice video of the seat spacers. I have them and have been waiting to put them on. Thought it would be a bit harder but u did it easy. Have all the other stuff already. Thx
Thanks! The bolts just took a bit of effort but it was very straightforward.
This is my dream car!!! I'm so fall in love with this car
What wheel are you running in this video on the Maxxis tires?
Those are the Rugged Ridge XHD and I loved them... only swapped to get beadlocks.
Man has an impact tool but does by hand. 👏 Be A Man! 😂
LOL
I’ll take those handles & put them in the back of my TJ😭
Nice video!
Regarding the rear seat- do you have any problems with setting it forward/down flat to load more in the back?
Thanks
It doesn’t really effect that much at all. My dog rides back there with them down all the time.
Wait! Your jeep is stick right? How did you put it in reverse and get out of the car? Haha
Magic... lol
autoedit I figured it out! You just turn the electricity on and put it in reverse! Haha very clever! I have a manual JK as well btw lol!
99% of viewers- just watching for fun
1% of viewers- actually doing the customizations
Man wif could push the whole seat back a bit, cause it's just my wife, new born and me. That car seat almost makes it impossible for anyone to sit in the passenger seat. My wife has to sit in the back with the baby.

I took all the seats out of my gf jeep because she was getting the tub linex-ed and I can say I busted just about every one of my knuckles breaking those bolts loose
John Glasscock know what you mean. Did the same thing to my tub. Well worth it having the tub lined
I feel ya!
hey mr because of you I did all 3 of these on christmas morning by myself in my pajamas in my driveway it was awesome and easy as hell thank you , now I have a question to any and all that might read this , I have just purchased ZROADZ jk rear spot lights that mount on the glass door hinges and a set of the back up spot lights for mounting on top of your rear tail lights they are awesome ! and so easy to install but the maker supplies zero instructions on how to wire them other than stupidly running the cables thru your window between the glass and the seal gasket and watching many vids on youtube not one company will tell you otherwise but they all say the same thing , there are so many ways to do it we dont want to show you on here ? it is crazy anyway i just thought I would cast it out there and do some fly fishin to see if I get a bite

Glad to hear I inspired a pajama wrenching party on your Jeep! As for routing wires out the back... for the rear license plate stuff I have ... I routed out the rear into the area behind the tail light and down through the foam out underneath the body. Maybe look into that.
Hi-Lift Jack handle works as an awesome breaker bar too.
Didn't even think of that... good suggestion!
I just bought a Jeep (used) and it came with the grab bars, and I absolutely love them! I'm a big guy so there's no way I'd dare use the factory ones lol.

LOL! I still grunted out all but that one! Thanks so much for watching!
you didnt clean! you didnt clean!aaaaaaaaaah!
now some bullet resistant windows! i love your tank
I like your upgrade video, but the grab handle part I have a question about any airbag deployment issues that you might have by mounting that there !
I have switched out my taillights for the LED. My question is, I’m know looking for a metal guard line I had for my standard taillights to protect them. Do the make anything to cover the KED taillights?
loctite eveything.
Dang I own a 2016 Jeep Wrangler 4 doors but no electric windows all manual
I consider that a plus. The way it should be.
I got you beat. mine are all zipped down windows 😅 pain in the butt at times 😁, especially when you pull through a drive-thru🤣have to replace about every 2 years due to the scratches.. mine's a 2016 4 door Jeep standard 6-speed Jk Wrangler sport unlimited. just a plain traditional Jeep. I do miss my manual stuff at times 😆
I have the Grabars in mine. I love them. Save your stock tail lights for a while, I haven't had much luck with some of the LED tail lights.
I did save them, just in case... lol
Great minds...
YAY a new video from Autoedit!!!
awesome stuff mate.
Thanks so much!!!
Cool easy upgrades, but I'm surprised you didn't steam clean your carpet while you had the seats up. Not a cheap shot Sir, just admire your attention to detail.
Awesome video, just curious at the end how'd you have the reverse lights on while not in it😂😂
Magic!
Those Chinese tail lights are high reward... you fail inspection. Lucky I didn't get a ticket for them.
Don't know what you're talking about... here in California they are completely legal.
your dog looks exactly like mine... her name is Niña (girl in Spanish) I actually bought a Cherokee XJ so I can take her and my other 2 dogs on trips... Love the handles!!!
Great to hear!
Great video. I did the rear seat mod a while ago. I just bought some washers from Lowe's. On a note...nice channel. I love all that you've done to your Jeep.
Thanks and I like that you figured it on your own!
I have to agree. $55 for a few spacers is a pretty stupid price point! I think I just found the 4-pack of GraBars for the same price! Time to start ordering!!!
Те два крепления в виде трубы конечно не безопасный сзади уменьшают дверной проем по высоте, и бится об них не так удобно как об мягкую часть каркаса.... Лайфхак с сидениями отличный, а ручки конечно стоит доработать.
I need a Jeep for Colorado mountain fun and also I live 2 hours from Moab
May I ask what type roof rack that is and where you bought it?
That is the AEV Brute roof rack and got it from their website.
Always look forward to your videos 👍👍
Awesome vid as always!! I still want a tube sock shirt!!!!! My next install is finally an exhaust then some new diff covers and rock lights. Happy holidays.
Thanks! Those sound like great upgrades and kind of fun installs. Have a great holiday as well!
another "cheater bar" method is to slide a close ended wrench over the handle of the ratchet or breaker bar (think of an L shape) to help add torque, this is usually easier in tighter spaces.
If you had asked me to guess where those junky tail lights came from, I would have guessed J.C. Whitney. I love those guys, but they will sell any product.
While the hand grips definitely help with entering and exiting the car.....they make a nice blender blade when you have an accident. I am sure manufacturers put safety first when making the soft straps. Also the hard ones might puncture air bags????
My job will write you up for using a snipe. (Cheater). Because of a few people I guess that aren’t familiar with work and slipping. But we usually deal with high torque
I have a JL. What easy upgrades can I install on this. I’d like bigger tires but my Jeep is not lifted. Any recommendations?
Yea, I'd pull out the battery impact wrench for this for sure, lol. I bled enough breaking loose the red loctite that was on the body mount bolts when I installed my rock sliders. 😆
I liked when you got into your jeep after the install of lights and didn't use your new grab bars.. Lol! Thank you for sharing
thanks for giving it a watch!

I'm 110 years old with a hip like a piece of rotted wood, and I even I get into my Jeep without a goofy handle.
This vid helps a lot. I'm picking up my 1st Wrangler JK on Monday! And I have a problem, I can't keep things stcok when I get them. I HAVE to add my flavor to it. This vid gives me a good idea on where to start before I spend BIG $$ on 'unnecessary' stuff... Lol ✌🏽
Good luck!
Thanks I’m adding them to my Jeep
Great!
Tail lights will not work if you have a tow package. The connectors for the trailer are on the left side tail light. Probably why only the right side was shown. If you don’t plan on towing anything, no worries.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
I had to laugh on seat spacers. I spent hours getting those bolts out. Busted knuckles, had to get 1\2 Harbor Friegh breaker bar because I though I would break my 3\8 drive because of lock tight! Great video!
LOL! It makes you earn every turn of the wrench for sure.
I had to laugh also. I had the spacers before I got the Jeep. First day I had it was when I put them in and it was still difficult. It took me a few hours and a lot of swearing, blood, ave sweet. But definitely worth it. Only cost me $23.
Easily one of the most disappointing and frustrating projects I've ever taken on. Bolts literally felt like they were welded on....to the point I thought the threads were already cross-threaded from the factory somehow. Finally got them all off with two solid straight hours of swearing and then, with the spacers in place, the holes WOULD NOT line up with the threads in the floor. The seat bracket would not allow the bolt to line up straight to start threading. I just knew I was going to fully trash the threads trying to get them to go. Finally gave up and could barely get the bracket holes and floor threads to align enough to get the bolts starts without the spacers. Even after oiling the bolts and starting by hand, a hammer driver only got them in 1/4 of the way. Elbow grease the rest of the way. Ridiculous.
Love your videos as always. I did the GraBar install awhile back on my ‘17 Recon. They must have used a metric ton of locktite on the bolts. I eventually needed to run a die tap to clear our the threads and then it was as easy as you showed. Keep up the good work!
Wow, the instructions did mention that it may need a run through with the stock bolt with a bit of oil on it to clean the threads and yours is an extreme case... glad I didn't need that as well!

NICE!! Video help me a lot. Im from South Texas, I speak spanish one little observation nothing related to the video, but you call you dog a male name, "pinto". if you want to call your dog you can call her "Pinta", thats more girly name.
Thanks for this suggestion... we called her Pinto after the car but I like calling her Pinta for affection!
bout 8;32 you could tell how scared you were to bust a knuckle with the way your fingers were twitching mine do it to when im on a scetchy angled bolt or something really tight that i know if the ratchet brakes or slips off im gonna be bleeding
I'm sorry, I disagree with the grab bars. It's hurts more hitting your head on the rear grab bars. I took mine out and went to the soft ones. Also, the rear seat incline kit installed, does the seat fold flat properly or does it sit higher?
Awesome video AutoEdits. What was wheel and tire size in this video.
Thanks! Those are 37” tires on 17x9 wheels.
@@AutoEdits my apologies for all the questions but what kind of suspension did you use, lift height and did you have to regear?
There's a lot of videos right here on the channel... go to the playlist for all the upgrades.
Dope ass video
Damn I love the lights 😭
I even found some cooler ones a few months later!
