Overland Jeep Rubicon Walk Around with 395JNKY's "Bele"

- In this video I"ll go over most of the upgrades that I've installed on my 2016 Jeep Rubicon. It's been a labor of love, but a journey that has provided me not just a very capable overloading vehicle, but more importantly a lot of self-taught skills by doing almost all of these upgrades by myself in the garage.
Overlanding is quickly becoming one of our favorite hobbies and we just can't seem to get enough of the great outdoors. After 4 years, I feel as if we have built a very capable rig to handle just about any obstacle, while at the same time, giving us all of the amenities we need to comfortably be outdoors for any multi-day trip in any weather.
Awesome and clean setup
Thanks for the details. We're still building our Jeeps. We have the same front bumper and rear bumper! Now we know which winch to get also! Always great watching your videos, new and older.
Cool Name
Ive been watching your adventure videos. Great job man! Good channel. I'd like to see you get more help from the wife and kids.
I am in the beginning of building my JK. It will be a slow build for sure but I love it. Can't wait to start camping again after my shoulder heals back up. Great build Brother.
Thank you. And have fun on the build. I look back now at all the mods and am proud that majority were all done by yours truly! Some great garage time!!!
Simply Amazing!! Thank you for sharing I really enjoy you channel Great outdoors with wife and daughters! You dog is so beautiful 😍 Take care
Thank you so much 😀 Happy Trails Shane!
Self fulfillment, you must love gazing at it! Great kit you have put together, super looking and practical. Might consider a awning.
Hi Potshot! I must admit, sometimes I turn around every now and then when walking away from her and gaze...LOL Since this video, I did add an awning. Comes in super handy when you need a bit of shade! Happy Trails!!!
Nice Jeep! Thanks for sharing!
You bet! And thank you!
Awesome build. I'm inspired. Getting ready to purchase a 2020 JL and hoping to model your build.
A Marshall, thanks for the compliment. Its a labor of love and I have enjoyed every minute working on my Jeep. Constantly learning new skills and saving a ton of dough by doing most of the work myself. And so far, nothing has fallen off yet. LOL. Congrats on the new rig. You're going to love the JL. There's times I drive my wife JL and am amazed at the power that little 4 cyl turbo puts out, if you go that direction. Happy Trails and most important, is to have fun with the build and take your time when you're just not sure about something!!!
Cascadia flipster for the winch license plate. Literally flips right up. Zero hassle
I'm going to have to look into that...Thanks for the suggestion and take care Sean!
Hi, did you ever do any modifications or upgrades to the front axle? Truss or gussets? I know you have wheeled a lot I was wondering what your experience with the stock axles have been like with the 37s
Still making my way through your videos and loving the detail you've put into them, Daniel. Nice work on this one. Maybe an idea for you for a future video: Discuss how you insure the accessories on your Jeep and travels, especially your roof top tent. I haven't seen many videos discussing this topic. I had a bit of a shock recently while looking into my coverages when someone stole some stuff off my Jeep (knicked my BROG Tire bag and Tire Bag XL with a bunch of recovery gear in it 😔).
Although they didn't touch my tent (FSR HC80 bolted and bracketed to a Rhino 3 Bar Backbone Rack) the event caused me to dig deeper into my insurance....and low and behold I discovered major grey area: Some auto insurance companies like Progressive will tell you they cover the tent under their auto policies when they are selling you the policy (they will even happily tell you that you would only be covered if you buy their additional accessories coverages but only up to certain limits)...but if you press the agent to contact their underwriters most will be told that a tent isn't covered because it's not "permanently" attached to your vehicle. When pressed about defining "permanent" (because most of a vehicle is bolted together anyway) they would balk and couldn't give me a straight answer.
I spent hours on the phone with progressive over the course of a few days and got different answers from different agents.
When I got agents that said an RTT would be covered, they couldn't tell me in my policy where it confirmed the coverage and they wouldn't send anything in writing.
After going through that, I contacted AAA, which I have home owners through and the first agent I spoke to said it would be covered under auto, then changed her mind and said home owners but only if the loss was sustained while the Jeep was parked at my residence.
I've since been told by them (and have it in an email) that the homeowners policy would cover it anywhere in the world....but still, as I research online there definitely is a lack of understanding and general confusion with insurance companies as to what a RTT is and how it should be covered.
I even found a post of a guy that bought coverage (at progressive) and was told the RTT would be covered and then some months later when someone sawed it and the rack it was attached to off and stole it he was told it wasn't covered because it wasn't a permanently installed vehicle accessory.
If you decide to investigate (even with your own insurance company or companies) make sure you ask someone to contact the underwriters and have them give you something in writing. It seemed crazy the amount of confusion I found as I pressed for answers on coverages. 😅
Anyway, might give you something to do while you're hunkered down with the Covid thing. 😂
Cheers!

Hey Dan - That’s a great idea. I actually just finished the process with my auto insurance carrier to add some additional coverage to the Jeep for a lot of my aftermarket parts. It was an exhausting process that took about 30 days. But I did learn a lot about the process that would definitely be helpful to anyone thinking about adding some addl coverages to their existing policy.
@@395jnky - I just watch this video. You have a nice build. I'm currently in the process of building my new JLU Rubicon and will soon have to talk to my insurance company about covering the upgrades. I agree, I think it would be extremely helpful (to many people) if you could do a video on this topic. PS - I subbed and am looking firward to future content.
I always wanted a Wrangler until I drove one, but your build is great. Looks like an absolute off-road weapon with the 37s. Love the channel!
wow great setup for dis rig!!! agree less weight with alu but some part need steel for hard work (like fender), a lot of ideas givme to me, only one fast question : why optima redtop and not yellow?! No snorkel? No compressor or airtank? love jackery bank, Ive clone that hanve aux port that can be use like a booster or jumpstarter...
Badass Jeep ! Awesome build !
Thanks Don!! Its a labor of love...
I have the same fenders and inner fenders in the front. Did you have to trim the Poison Spyder inner fenders to get the Falcon shocks to fit? Have watched most of your videos multiple times. Keep it coming!!!
I did have to trim them...They turned out great, but feel as if they make more noise at an idle because of the trimming...But its not too terrible...So glad to hear you are enjoying the content. Stay tuned for more...Thanks William!!!
Amazing Brother
Thank you so much 😀
Nice jeep
Thanks Chris!
Hello... I viewed your video. I like the way you do things, I watch the coverage about you using 37 inch tires are the tires 12 inch wide? what size rims are you using. I'm thinking about 16 inch rims to save weight.
17" x 8.5". Not a bad idea...but then again its that much more tire...So not sure the weight savings would be significant...Thanks for the comment!
Hello again. One last question on the Goosegear system rear plate. With your fridge slide, are you able to access your spare Jack compartment? Trying to pull the trigger on it and just want to be sure on some of the obscure items. Thank you.
I sure can. You just need to be sure the fridge slide sits back just enough to remove the cover to the jack. 👍👍
I like your set up. I have a question on the Goosegear plates. Does it have random tie down/anchor points?
Hi Allen. Thanks for watching! The Goose Gear has a ton of pre-drilled holes that are threaded. They sell accessories hooks I believe that will work to put tie downs points in many different areas. Happy Trails!
Nice Rig!!! 4 future videos, could u please leave links below, 4 the items u have used on ur build, or future modifications, thanks!!! Indialantic Beach,Fl. .🐊😎🍻🤙
Thank you Sam....and yes...100%. I need to take some time to put it all on a word doc so it is easy to copy / paste onto future vids.
Dude love your videos! How did you mount that spot touch pad up by the visors. Haven’t seen someone mount it like that it. It’s always those big ugly switches.
Hi Jason - Are you referring to the Spot X or sPod switches?
@@395jnky The spod buttons. normally we see those in a black switch box or some type of holder, what mount did you use for it? thanks
Jason - That is the sPod model Source SE. Its available from sPod. I liked the compact look of this compared to the 8 switch system in a row. Plus there are some addl features that the SE offers.
Great looking rig! Am in the process of dropping down from our Mickey Thompson 38" x 20" Baja's to 17's. Question for you, your HAM portables, do you re-program each trip if out of your region / state? If no, are you able to receive local communications, weather & emergency? I am in the process of setting up ours currently. My ham portables arrived on Thursday will program thru CHIRP this coming week and certification whenever things start up again...look forward to you imput thank you! Keep up the great vids...new subscriber here as of last evening....Keep the shiny side up.
Thanks Viper. I do not reprogram the radios if we go out of state. For local comm, weather and emergencies, I rely solely on my Garmin In-Reach. It is a wonderful device that allows me to not only have in case of an emergency, but I'm able to communicate with my family on longer trips where cell service does not exist. Thanks for the subscribe!!! Happy Trails!!!
Awesome video!
Thanks @TheDude. It was a long video, but I did try to keep it as short as possible. Thanks for watching!!!
Good stuff, love the build. Do you have any regrets on going with the Rhino Rack over something like a Front Runner or other full length racks now that you have the larger iKamper? I'm on the fence on racks for my JL and keep flip-flopping between being able to still take the top off vs the extra space up top for stuff like the traction boards or whatever.
Hi rtisor - Thanks for watching and the comment. That’s a good question. If I were to do it all over again I probably would go with the Rhino Rack. If I had a smaller RTT perhaps I would see the benefits of a longer rack for firewood, etc, etc. But even with a longer rack like Front Runner I don’t think there would be enough room to be able to use it as storage with the iKamper.
Did you re-gear for the 37s? If so or not what are your thoughts and what gears are you running? Thanks!
I did. I'm running 5:13's. If I wasn't running with a RTT and bead locks all the time, I bet 4:88's would have worked well too!
@@395jnky thanks, that's helpful. Keep up the awesome content and have a great day!
is this a daily driver as well or dedicated overlander?
Hi Stanley - I'm fortunate enough to allow this to be a dedicated Overlanding Jeep. Although, I must admit, I'll take it to work every once in a while if I get the itch to take her for a spin! Thanks for the comment Stanley and Happy Trails!
Any axel upgrades? Like trusses or anything? Do you think they’re needed on a JK Rubicon?
I just added axel sleeves in the front and rear. Depending on the size tires and the type of wheeling you're doing will depend if you need an axel upgrade. But you really need to be running 37"+ tires and lots of rock crawling before I would suggest upgrading past a D44. Thanks for the comment. Take care!
is your roof rack the one with the removable legs or did you go with the lower profile legs that prevent it from removal?
I have the extended legs which makes it removable. Definitely makes installing and tightening the tent down a bit easier...
Have done a updated video on the jeep
Sure have:

When you added the lights to the rack did you add any power inside the tent?
No I didn't...Every once in a while we bring the Jackery 240 up with us to charge our cell phones, but haven't really found the need for power other than charging our phones at night!
Hey @395jnky this is A Marshall we've actually talked before I was the guy who told you that I finally got a chance to pick up my 2020 JL Rubicon this past Saturday. Forgive the name switch but I'm just in the process of setting up my new you-tube page and Instagram. Just wanted to reach out to you for a second in reference to the Barricade bumper you're running. I'm taking your advise and go the aluminum route. With that said what fog lights are you running? I know its KC Gravity but wasn't sure of the model. Just wanted to make sure I could get something that will mount easily to the Barricade front bumper. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
Hi A Marshall - First off, I want to apologize for the delayed response. I've got competing interests requiring my time right now every which way I turn. I love it. But sometimes it delays the response. Next time just DM me...I'm fine with that too. In any case, I am running the Jeep JK Gravity LED G4 Clear Fog Lights. I'm sure the JL are the same lights. If you have questions, hit me up on IG. And congrats again on the JL. Send me some pics of the build as it gets going. Happy Trails!!!
@@395jnkyAwesome! No worries on the delayed response I definitely understand how life can get. I'm following you on Instagram so I'll definitely DM you. I got a few pics of the JL out there now. The winch just arrived this week. I'm in the process of ordering the barricade aluminum bumper for the front. Once that gets here I'll upload some more pics once installed. Thanks for the encouragement. Happy Trails!
What happened to the red 4 door I've seen in other videos ?
Hi Gary - Thats my buddy Bill and his wife Jenni. They have an amazing Jeep, but they don't do a whole lot of camping with it. Hopefully "Rubi" will be out at camp again with us real soon!
Lytle creek? Nice vid btw.
Yes sir. Good eye! And thank you...Happy trails and stay healthy!
👍👍👍
Hello yall! What kind of fridge is he using?
Its a Dometic 40liter...Take care
@@395jnky is it still going strong? Have you ever hooked it up to a generator to save battery ( I know you have 2 batteries)?
Did you regear?
I did...5:13's
Great, thanks. Almost too obvious.
thats a lot of weight
It sure was. I've lightened the load over the last few years since shooting this video.
Great information walk around, I like some of your ideas. I will seek you out at the DRV. Sub’d. @mccaf
Great meeting you at DRV. Glad you enjoyed this video. Happy Trails John!!!
Can you speek up a little lol
