Created out of necessity and fueled by curiosity. The Average Joe's Garage is my way of giving back to the UA-cam world that I have relied on for so long. From long term projects to one-off tasks I document one man's way of doing something. Anything. With an emphasis on cars and home improvement projects this channel serves as a resource those who may not know a place to start or maybe just want a good laugh at my failures. FYI, I'm not a professional, but I play one on UA-cam.

Do you still have it on?
After watching this video I purchased the same one from AMAZON. It fit PERFECT on my 2024 CHEVY SUBURBAN. Thanks for the great video.
So how much do you charge to do some rebel work. I think I trust you doing the work over any of my mechanics . Lol
What is the part number for the emblems?
Great video. How do the power bass sound. Would you go with the 2-way infinity ref over them if you could do it all over?
I just put the REF697’s in the front doors of my ‘23 Ram with the 8.4” screen base system due to a blown driver door factory speaker and I’m taking them back out. They’re just too high and crisp and the bass is all but gone. I’m either looking at these Powerbass OE-690D’s or going back to the factory speaker. I’ve spent days researching and I’m about to give up.
WD40 works great for removing sticker residue. I’ve used it many many times. Spray on, let sit, wipe off, repeat.
How do you remove ANC pins? Do they simply come out if pulled on? Do I need special tool?
Are you sure, illumination was on pin 8 not pin 9?
Looks great brother! Also a good idea if someone wants to color match it to the body color & change it back to factory later on..
Waste of money just take the tv off of the mount. Lazy. 😢
I’m surprised you didn’t do more concrete around pool when they originally did your pool
Thanks for doing this video. Never even considered the ANC as I have been starting with sound dampening and noise blocking in my 21 RAM1500. Those Power Bass Speakers look great. Might have to try them out too. Thanks again.
Enjoyed this video good work!
Nice and clean set up.
How is your pool equipment doing
Do they sell the lower chrome trim?
This video has been sooooo helpful, thank you!!!
I wish you had shown exactly how you disassembled the dash. That's my only concern as I upgrade my speakers. Still a great video! Thanks man!!
Looks good ! How's the seam in the center ? I bought the Window trim overlay and great fit and looks Awesome .
I had the same issue no plywood on house but we had removed a window right where I’m hanging Tv so they used plywood to cover the old window cut out . Do you think I need to hit a stud for tv mount or the plywood will support it ? It’s a 65” tv .
Get a mic
How did it hold??
good👌
Nice Have you pressure washed the truck ? I’m scared to go thru the car wash since the pressure is so strong
ok, I just did this. Couple things to help everyone out.. if you compress the springs just enough until loose to get out the OEM shocks you will not be able to get the top shock rod to poke through the top shock mount. You need to compress that spring until it gives you clearance to get the shock rod through the top mount and you can get the nut on. Approx 3 inches of exposed threaded rod on coil compression tools. Bilstein is painfully slow in helping you if you call/text them. If you don't have an impact gun I wouldn't even start it unless you like to fight with everything. Once the coil is compressed and you have to remove the top shock nut in the mount, everything will just spin unless you have the power of an impact socket to spin the nut off. If you don't, you need to use a wrench to hold the top of the rod and then find something to back the nut off. The nut is recessed so nearly impossible to get ahold of it. I recommend using a spray lubricant before even trying. My truck is brand new and the nut was still a pain. To be honest most nuts are a pain without an impact gun. Sway bars, tie rod end both need a way of holding the bolt when tightening the nut. If you don't have a pass through socket set to do both it can be tricky. I certainly appreciate the video, would never attempt without it. This kind person even helped me when I reached out on a holiday weekend. Thanks man!! I just want you to know this upgrade isn't for everyone and a second set of hands is appreciated. Also if you don't have deep sockets that fit all these nuts buy them. Don't wait, just buy them. You need them. Good luck!
Also, I was unable to break part the ball joint of the upper control arm. My truck is brand new. I bought a ball joint breaker tool (forked wedge), beat the hell out of it with a heavy hammer, nothing would break it free. Couldn't get the gear puller to fit on, no room. Taking it to the stealership to finish this job. Shocks are in, couldn't break the ball joints to get the new control arms on. Good luck.
Did you have to compress the spring even farther to get the nut on top of the new shock? Because you moved the bottom coil mount up approx 2 inches that means the top of the shock doesn't stick through the top bucket.
Do I need to disconnect the battery? Chance of ruining electrical system is fairly low correct?
🔥🔥🔥Nice. We strapped on the tv using the ZeboZAP to the gazebo post. 🥳
Dude..thanks for the instructions and for bringing the heat with that jam in the background 👌 😅 Starts ripping around 10min in
@The Average Joe’ Garage- How’s it holding up?
Wow thanks for this video. I was going to put the stock speakers back in because i installed the same infinity speakers and it sounded crazy and i didnt want to drive the truck. Thanks again
Looks great.
The front valence that you wrapped under the bumper, how did you remove that to wrap it? I can’t find instructions anywhere online for that. I am looking to wrap or replace it…but want to make sure I can remove ha. Not as handy as you!
I've been trying to cure the dim projector low beams of my 2017 Limited. I switched to LED bulbs, but it was only marginally better. Come to find out the likely issue is that the reflective coating in the project goes dull over time, thereby vastly reducing the output. The reflective coating inside the projector is very thin (only a few microns) and degrades over time from the heat of the halogen bulbs. No matter what LED bulbs I install, I'm going have that issue unless I replace the actual projector units themselves. I decided to replace the headlight housings with the downgraded reflector-style headlights that were also offered on the Expedition. They are a bit less expensive than buying new projector headlight housings, and hopefully won't suffer the same degradation over time.
You should retrofit MLED 2.0 projectors with an E55 bracket...pretty much an exact fit you only need some nylon spacers...you have to open the headlights (which wasnt easy ask me how I know) but the result is worth it...I have a 2016 Expy limited and the projector headlights are a disgrace...it was dangerous driving at night!
Just plasti dip that bad boy & stop wasting ur money mate. Took me an hour & my ‘21 Suburban looks gorgeous.
Great video! This will be my next upgrade on my 21 Rebel in Billet Silver. I have been wanting to do it after watching WF41 do his, but just haven't got around to doing it. I upgraded to a Borla S Type and it's perfect. The ATAK was a bit much for me. Like you, I live in PA and deal with the salt and brine in the winter. I took the plunge and had mine fully rustproofed with New Hampshire Oil Undercoating (NHOU) and happy I did. Hopefully the top nut on the strut isn't corroded like yours were. Anyway, thanks again and for the details in the description box!
Great video. Just an fyi... My insignia TV was mounted outside with a leather case and lasted for 5+ years until it got soaked while I was away. Good luck. 🤘
You mentioned you would do the trim illusion pieces on the side windows instead of vinyl, do you think those pieces on the side would hold up better than vinyl? Thinking of having mine done vinyl at a shop as I dont trust myself ha but the trim illusions do look nice, just curious your thoughts for the side window ones.
Were these 2 ohm replacements?
My running light is out on my 2021 suburban. Can I buy a bulb for it? Or do I have to buy a whole new unit? It’s the rear passenger.
You gotta replace the whole car bro
30 sec installation. 11 min video 📹 😆
what kind of side steps do you have?
How to you tie in the grill lights to the side marker lights ???
Any errors on reverse bulbs you eventually put in? Errors galore on my ‘23 Premier
Nice! I’m prepping to do the same to my ‘23 premier. Any videos of removing the side window chrome strips? Also, next on your list should be the fender marker light.
Trim ilusión also has those I installed them about a month and a half ago No problems so far I just don’t know how good they will hold with pressure washing on a car wash etc
I have the same kit on my 2018 SL.. Looks really good but ruined the ride quality. Horrible feeling when driving over speed bumps and road joints on the freeway.
Well that 16,000 is gonna get used up quick with the prices of trucks today!
I'm in the process of upgrading to Bilstein 6112 and RC UCA to level my Rebel. When looking at the 6112 specs, it was mentioned that to get a 2" lift, it needs to be at the 8th circlip. The 5th circlip will only raise it by 0.8". Does the 5100 have the same lift height specs? I don't want a reverse rake.
Happy to hear that the family is safe. Hope you chose to purchase the Pro4X for your next project. I've got a '21 baja storm Pro4X and love it. I've also got Progressive insurance.. thanks for the comments on them - I'll be changing them asap. Peace!
what about the headlights that are terribly dim?
