Thanks for the detailed video. Amazon product # B008BT2SIY may be a better choice for Flexzilla hose since it has reusable fittings on both ends - Flexzilla Pro Air Hose, 1/4 in. x 25 ft., Heavy Duty, Lightweight, Hybrid, ZillaGreen - HFZP1425YW2
Thanks, that was a piece of cake!!! USELESS GOVERNMENT CRAP, THAT'LL WEAR YOUR STARTER OUT PREMATURELY!! WISH THEY WOULD STAY OUT OF OUR TOYS N STUFF!!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!
Yeah, regulations definitely are changing these newer vehicles. I’d like it better if you push the button and it stayed off until you pushed it again. Thanks for watching the video!
Now is it just me or did he point where f22 is and not f42 at 4:21? He did point at f42 description but point where f22 was and not f42 wow!
I’m pointing to the location of F42 in that clip if you look closely you can see F22 to the left of my finger. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
That is absolutely what I want to do to my Gladiator. I'm sick of the out of warranty dealer excuses and I never use auto start-stop. Thanks Frosty, I've subscribed
Yeah it’s a pretty sweet mod, thanks for watching and the sub!
I did what you suggested, I removed the negative power from the terminal and the fuse and I still get that light. So tell what is wrong now?
It’s probably a bad main battery, that’s what happened with mine. I’d run it down to NAPA and get it tested. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
@@FROSTBITEOFFROAD I replace the main battery cause the auxiliary battery cause it to over heat and leak and now the auxiliary it dead so don’t tell me it’s the main battery I’ll just take out the dead auxiliary battery and tape up the negative and positive terminal. Since there is no other solution to this problem
@@FROSTBITEOFFROADwell you know what I still replace the main battery and I still get the same problem now I’ll have to take out the aux battery and not have one
Hey man i have a 20 jeep wrangler jl and o removed the fuse f42 and the auxiliary battery ground cable.. tape it and secured it out of the way, but the start stop function is still working,is that normal or did i do something wrong I thought that by disconecting the fuse and ground it woud disable that function
No, this mod just removes the aux battery from the loop. You’ll have to still push the button or get a programmer to have it stay off. Hope this helps, thanks for watching the video!
Please get back to me on this question: I have a new h6 battery and my auxiliary battery is dead, is it a good idea just to disable the auxiliary battery once it’s already dead by taking out the fuse, when I have a new H6 battery installed or just simple get a new auxiliary battery and then disable the auxiliary battery? I still have a warranty on the 2019 Jeep wrangler.
I was in the same scenario when I did mine. I left my dead aux battery in the vehicle and then bypassed it and ran a new main battery. I wouldn’t waste the money on another aux battery if you are planning on running the bypass. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the video!
Really would like to finish your video but the music is like.... uhg! Overkill, you aren't rock crawling or base jumping. Just a suggestion.
Noted!
@@FROSTBITEOFFROAD Thanks for the video! Stay at it. Thanks for the response!
I had the issue and brought to dealer. They wanted $1100 CAD to replace. Said it was not warranty. Told them to just disconnect the 2nd battery and they said it does much more than start/stop. Funny they could not tell me what else it ran. Just “other things”. I told them to just get my keys ready and picked it up. Did the steps as you outlined perfectly. Thank you.
Glad the video helped you out, thanks for watching it!
I’m planing to do this delete on my 18 grand cherokee, should i ditch the positive cable from the aux battery as well or should i connect it to the main battery?
I’m not sure if this mod works on the Grands but I don’t see why not. You have to leave the positive lead connected or run it back up to the main battery positive terminal. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
So this will stop it from draining the big battery right?
Correct, this mod completely removes the aux battery from the loop. Hope this helps, thanks for watching the video!
No driveshaft replacement?
The front driveshaft was replaced in a prior video with an Adam’s shaft. It’s definitely something that needs to be done with this lift due to the amount of flex it provides.
@@FROSTBITEOFFROAD ahh makes sense. Nice jeep
@@Madmike908 thanks Mike!
@@FROSTBITEOFFROAD how has the lift held up from MetalCloak? Worth the money?
@@Madmike908 it was a great riding and flexing lift. I did have to replace a couple flex joints under warranty but they were great about sending them out fast. I’d do it again if I bought another JL.
Great video and I followed it in detail, to bypass the auxiliary battery but I'm still getting the warning light on the dashboard about the aux start. Any thoughts? Thanks, Brother!
It should go away after you drive it a bit, if it doesn’t I’d pull your main battery and have it tested at NAPA to see if it’s going out. Hope this helps, thanks for watching the video!
I wonder if it’s possible to relocate the aux battery and replace it with a yellow top with blowing any fuses etc
I doubt it, the aux battery is like a motorcycle battery. You would want to get a similar spec with the same style posts if you were going to replace it. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
You need to have the tool in perfect alignment with the vehicle Which isn't really possible so they can't work If it's up or down at either end the measurement will be out😢
You're correct but for checking it after a hard trail ride or new tie rod install, it gets you in the ballpark. It's a handy tool to have but doesn't replace an alignment rack. Thanks for watching the video!
Just saying its handling like it has a feont locker
Hi, I have a 2018 Jeep JL Sport which began giving me problems with the autostart not working properly. Then I saw lights on the dash reporting issues. The next day (yesterday) it wouldn't start. I watched your video on bypassing the aux battery, so, I went out and bought one like yours. I'm installing it now, but I had to take a break due to rain. I just want to tell you that I appreciate so much that you explained how to remove the battery and cables as well as bypassing the aux. I'm not a mechanic, I'm 66 years old and this is the first time doing something like this. I was nervous as all heck. So, again I am grateful for the guidance. Joe
Glad the video helped you out Joe, thanks for watching it!
@@FROSTBITEOFFROAD No problem, I finished the install and it came out just like you said! I also verified that the autostart/stop also worked, and my autostart on the key fob. Batten a thousand! Thanks again!... Oh, and it really wasn't that heavy, I curled it up and in Real easy! Lol..
If ur testing ur SWR inside a garage or close to power lines ur swr readings will be off u want to be in a open area with nothing around and ur doors closed
You are correct and that was definitely something you needed to do with a CB setup. I was just verifying my new setup was in spec and not going to fry anything. Thanks for watching the video!
Old video but I bought these and they work great. Thanks for the vid! Happy Jeeping! Be safe!
Thanks, you too!
Nice truck
Sure is!
are your jack stands extra length? i got the 3 tons but it's not comfortably tall enough
I have the Harbor Freight 6 ton ones, they are significantly taller than their 3 ton ones. Thanks for watching the video!
So just to be clear here, I can leave the auxiliary battery where it's at and pull the fuse and take off that negative terminal? And im done?
Correct, if you pull the aux battery you’ll have to run the aux positive up to the main battery and tape off the aux negative to be safe. That way is a lot more work and not necessary. Hope this helps, thanks for watching the video!
if I don't have the H7 in my Jeep, do I need to upgrade the battery in order to bypass the Aux battery? or will the H6 do the job, thanks in advance
The H6 will work but it will be under more stress if you still use the SS function. When it comes time for a new battery I would recommend getting an H7. Thanks for watching the video!
I did this and I'm off the Auxiliary and the fuse is pulled ,however i still have the "A!" Warning light. will this eventually go off?
It should go away after a few cycles but if it doesn’t I’d pull the main battery and have it check at NAPA. Hope this helps, thanks for watching the video!
👍
I doubt you’ll see this but if you do how much do you think of ls dee flats I could do? I have a pretty decent bit of off-road experience but not a whole lot, I drive a 2014 Jeep JKU sport on 33” BFG KO2’s, factory suspension and high clearance fenders, other then they just the basics, lights, winch bumper and winch. I haven’t been out there since I was like 6 years old(22 now) so it’s been a long time. I don’t have lockers as far as I know it’s open front and rear. Also I love the videos
You’d probably be ok with 800 & 802, I’d stay off 803 without lockers and higher ground clearance. Having a winch is good for self recovery but it’s always a good idea to not wheel alone. It’s a good little trail system that’s close to Portland, you’ll have fun up there. Thanks for watching the video’s!
@@FROSTBITEOFFROAD what size lift and tire would you recommend for most of la Dee? I don’t do anything too hardcore since the Jeep is my daily/only rig but still want to get out and do little harder trails.
@@the_true_og4649 my JL had a 2.5” lift and 37” tires and it was fairly capable. I have used my winch several times on 803 though.
Do you need to grease the new Adams shaft or is it pre greased
Mine were pre greased but it doesn’t hurt to put a couple extra pumps in to be safe. Just make sure you use high quality grease, thanks for watching!
@frostbiteoffroad first thank you for the awesome video. Can you clarify for the fuse is it F42? On mine it show is a 5A fuse. It does say the same description and yours. Mine is a 20 wrangler. Thank you sir.
I do know they changed some stuff for the newer ones, if it’s the same position and description than I would think it would work the same. It doesn’t hurt to try, thanks for watching the video!
I just now finished installing the same carrier. I put one on my JK last year and it's a little different than my JL. This was easier, I just wish I had adjusted from the most to least space between the tire and carrier. I tried it 3 times finally using the widest. LOL Was a lot of work manually tightening nylon lock nuts. SMH Freaking great video man! Yours is The best and clearest. I watched your video several timrs before I got into it.
Glad the video helped you out, thanks for watching! Yeah I wish it slid in closer as well but overall it was a great upgrade!
Great video. Gonna do this soon.
Have fun and thanks for watching!
If I don’t currently have any aftermarket items going to the battery do I need to upgrade to the larger battery still? Or can I just bypass the Aux now? I’m getting the warning message now that says Aux buttons are not available whenever I forget to turn off the auto start.
I’d upgrade it while you’re at it but it’s totally up to you. I’d image your main battery is on its last leg if you’re getting warnings already. You could take the main battery to Napa and have it tested for peace of mind. Thanks for watching the video!
Your content is simple and clean. Thanks Appreciate your time.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching the video!
💪🏼👍🏼💯
Thanks for watching the video!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
Nice thanks
No problem, thanks for watching!
Hi had a question I installed the whole kit and once I got the camera mounted I put the last casting camera cover so to speak over it and the camera is off center doesn’t line up to the casting piece and help would be so great on how to center the camera etc
If I recall my camera cover piece was bent from welding as well. I just hit it a few times with a sledgehammer and straightened it out. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
Is this worth the drive from the Portland area?
We had a good time and made a small trip out of it, I’d go back again sometime!
What about the 2nd bump stop for the spare ? I only see one installed
If I remember correctly, that specific tire carrier covered the other hole.
Hi Bryan, Thank you very much for your video. I’m having trouble with starting my Wrangler JL (my guess is the small battery killing everything) Do you confirm that removing the fuse and taping the cable will sort the thing out? I will be able to still start the vehicle? Thank you. Best, G
Yeah, if the small battery is the culprit then you should be able to do this mod and jump your main battery and be good to go. If the main battery got too low on voltage you might want to replace it, hope this helps thanks for watching!
Among many videos on this issue with the auxiliary battery, yours is number one so clear! I wonder if the same technique I could apply on my 392 Rubicon 2022 ! Thx👍🏼
Glad it helped, not sure on the 392 or not.
Saw you replace main battery and deactivate the fuse for the small battery but didn’t see small battery being taken out, did you just leave the dead small a battery in??
Yeah I left it in just in case I wanted to swap back for a warranty issue or something of that nature. It’s a nice easy mod, I’d definitely recommend it!
Go ahead!
With the 6 DB gain YOU DON'T NEED TO CUT OR SPLICE YOU SHOULD BE 1.0:1 on ALL CHANNELS!
Why do people like that stupid little 3db gain antenna?Don't you want a good SWR Don't you want better range?Then get rid of it and get the MXTA 26 by midland it's a 6 DB gain Pre set and great SWR and BETTER RANGE! I had the "Ghost Antenna like what you have I hated it so I took it and just THREW it as far as I could and then I got the MXTA 26 This was in 2018 I still have my 6 DB gain antenna I had it on a Dodge Ram Pick Up then on a Dodge Grand Caravan now it proudly stands on my 2003 Ford Taurus Station Wagon STILL on the same Magnet Mount and I'm still getting distance with my 5 watt Midland MXT 105 GMRS Radio and YES I do have My 10 year license.
Hands down
If you hit the button to turn off the start/stop button every time you start the vehicle, do you have anything to worry about regarding the aux battery going dead?
I always turned mine off and my battery eventually died. Thankfully I was in the garage not out in the woods lol, thanks for watching the video!
Over priced and unreliable
I have a Jeep gladiator 2023 Willy. On my battery the negative terminal has only two cables. Which one is the one I could tape up and tuck away?
It will be the smaller diameter cable running to the firewall. You’ll know if you do the wrong one because the Jeep won’t start, I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Just to clarify - you're saying ALL 2021 jeeps have the cable reversed or did they do a half and half year or anything?
From what I’ve read, it changed halfway through the year. You’ll want to disconnect the smaller diameter one running to the firewall. You’ll know if you did the wrong one because the Jeep won’t start. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely!
