Jeep Wrangler JKU Off Road Tuning and Training PLUS License Plate and Third Brake Light Relocate

Рет қаралды 129,576

In this video on the build up of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in the AutoEdits garage... I install a bunch of goodies on the rear end of the Jeep, including the MetalCloak License Plate and Third Brake Light Relocation Kit!
The kit was a breeze to install and I recommend it as a Do It Yourself project for your rig.
I also installed an accessory wing and "borrowed" a Daystar Cam Can from my good buddy Fred Williams as a spare fluid container plus I installed a Hi Lift Jack Mount that I will dial in later.
After all of these easy installations...we head off into the mountains for a little more Off Road training and some testing on the upgrades so far!

Not sure if you know this trick, but if you flip your rear-view mirror upside down, you'll get even better visibility out the back with the larger spare tire. Nice Jeep man, looks great. I run 35's on my 2dr JK with stock suspension, stock wheels with spacers, and the Xenon flat fender flares. Similar setup =)

@AutoEdits 7 жыл бұрын

I am going to try that mirror trick, thanks so much for the tip! I've been pretty happy with the performance so far with this setup. The only thing that really has made me cringe was last week in Death Valley I hit a cattle crossing at 60mph and jumped the thing about 40 feet at 4 or 5 feet high and it hit the bump stops VERY hard... oops. An extra few inches of travel would've been nice for that.

@joemurray8703 8 жыл бұрын

+autoedit You're welcome! I really like the Black Rock series 952 rim. It's very deep with faux beadlocks. It has a nice classic look to it. The only downside to them is they are steel, so that's quite a bit of extra weight. It's worth it to me to have the exact look that I want, but if it's not for you then you should also check out the Fuel Trophy D552. Those will give your jeep a little different look while roughly keeping the same colors as the stock Rubicon wheels.

@jasenjaz82 8 жыл бұрын

Look better....most people who wheel don't care about looks. If it functions and he is able to tackle the trails that he wants to go down then it is all good. Plus keeping the stock geometry in the suspension is optimal for a daily driver-weekend rider. Lower center of gravity helps keep those wheels planted.

Living on the Monterey Peninsula, we watched SoCal burn last year, and this year. After the fires of 2016, did you find your old off-roading places to go in the hills completely destroyed or were they spared. Its now 2017, and SoCal is once again on fire; so are these same places in danger or have these been spared from the fire?
