Holy crap! I need to get into the parts install business. I know beyond a doubt I could have installed all of that in a day! Dude, you got killed on that labor!
It physically hurt me to hear what they charged to install the plug and play exterior lights
You could have installed the gauge cluster in a day?
Yeah that cluster is plug and play and to pull off the dash is a matter of minutes so...
@@MrOscillot I know for a fact those taillights are an EXTREMELY easy job. That shop is laughing when they see you pull up.
@@MrOscillotof course!
"I bought this $15 sun shade, I paid $350 for the shop to install it"
But I could’ve done myself in just a hour!
😂😂😂
😂
Well, that’s stupid!.
👏🏾😂
That install place must LOVE you.
I bet there's no waiting when they see you pull in...
That gymnastics ring for your child is brilliant!
Every time you mention the price that this shop charged you for those easy parts, that you could had installed yourself, all I can think off is more jeep parts lol.
Every installment mans was like “I payed $3115664 to get this done but I probably could have done it myself in 5 minutes” like bruh just do it yourself then lmaoo
He paid $150 to get his brake lights installed. You can install both those brake lights in under 10 minutes.
bruh
I have more money than time because I have two small kids. And I wouldn't have been able to install the camera or digital gauge cluster on my own.
@@MrOscillot 😂😂😂😂😂
You're hilarious, more money than time because you have 2 small kids😂😂
Do them kids pay well?😂
I remember working more than 40hrs a week for my money while raising 2 small kids and still doing a whole lotta stuff myself because because my kids didn't pay me to wipe their ass and spend money on crap like a rodent repeller, as if you're going to be parking your. "Car" in a farmyard barn for long term storage.
@@briangisinger2201 I suppose a better way to phrase it would have been "I have less time than money." Think about it, if you earn more per hour than a car electronics installer, it is profitable to pay him and go work an equal amount of time (or just chill). So that's what I do.
Both those brake lights literally take 10 minutes to install stop giving your money to that place they're ripping you off.
you could look it up on UA-cam headlights and tail lights are super quick and easy to change but people who don't know what they are doing get taken advantage of
@@Chonk_Master_Admiral forreal he said it would’ve taken him 60 minutes to install lmfao
@@anthonyrubino9644 not even saw someone on UA-cam do it in 5 it’s just a few screws and plugs
It’s literally 2 screws per brake light
Dude, that is a VERY unscrupulous shop. Stop going there!! They must have a $120 an hour rate and charge you it for 5 min of work, which is how long a jk taillight install takes. If you stop and drink a beer between the first and second one. And $350 for headlight install?! Holy crap, might of been an hour
44 Accessories, and still looks stock! Way to do what you want, and still keep it looking original!
I love how you’re lookin’ out for your kiddos. You’re awesome!!
This was very helpful thank you so much! Surprised by the quality of the video too!
Very thorough and thoughtful reviews. I'm looking hard at a jeep wrangler and these items seem very affordable. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Thanks!!
Man, the first time I watched this I thought you were a typical mall crawler insta-POG, but now that I really listen to your explanations I have to agree with nearly all of these, and some I am going to incorporate in my build-out plan. Thank you!
Jeep must have finally listened to owners. My 2021 rubicon actually came with MOLLE straps built into the back of the front seats. It was a super cool surprise.
Thanks for the amazing video
I have the J Pro and the K1 and I love them both. Both are functional and eye-catching.
Nice job on the review video. Enjoyed the speed of each explanation. Kept me interested throughout.
Wow! Thanks!! 😊
I always appreciate videos about accessories like this. thank you. Just one thought though...in all my years off-roading, my only flat tire came from an object on a highway. I was glad I had a full size spare tire with me. I have never needed my fire extinguisher.
LOL tru dat.
Awesome video bro🤘
Great video idea
Great collection, my cart now has several for mine
Glad to hear you found it useful! I recently installed this dead pedal and really like it, as well. amzn.to/3KSbfoV
People get over it with what he paid for installs. San Diego CA is expensive no matter what you're doing, so I'm not surprised. Also who knows what his income is, for some people it's literally just not worth it to use their time working on installs. Also some people just don't feel comfortable doing that stuff. His list is helpful and full of actually useful DD parts. Thanks for the list man 👍
If he could edit this video, and upload it, he can change the exterior stuff. Just sayin.
A sucker is born every minute. It took longer to drive to the shop than it took to replace those tail lights and it cost $63 too
I would argue, it is a dis-service to those who may not actually be able to install and need assistance to know what is a fair price for installation. $350 for taillights is a rip off. $30 is more appropriate and that is what people should have been informed..
Enjoyed your video! man a lot of critics about what the shop charged! You can always save by doing it yourself. Get an estimate first and then decide if you want them to do the work. If buyer and seller are happy then it's a good deal!
I know next to nothing about vehicle modding but I replaced my tail lights on my 08 jk in the middle of winter and it took me like 5 minutes for each one.
My fiance replaced my radio headset with a touch screen and it took him 30 minutes.
Most of these mods you can do yourself for WAY less than the $300+ shops.
I have no doubt that most people, and even I, can do most of these mods themselves. I just didn't care to, and was already at the shop for the gauge cluster and camera.
@@MrOscillot mmmhmmmmmmmm
Is this a joke? There are so many cool mods you can do to a Jeep, both inexpensive and quite pricey, but I have never seen such an absurd collection of cheap quality enhancements in all my life, but this video is entertaining in an ironic way.
That's actually exactly what I was going for. Cheap Chinese junk (except for the gauge cluster) is my guilty pleasure.
Only things I'm sold on are the rollbar storage bags, fire extinguisher, and front facing/rear camera
Digital gauge cluster makes me envious. That one goes on the wish list. Thanks for a great quality video!
Carobotor is offering $200 off 12/31/20-1/2/21 using code "carobotor".
Ikr!
I seen that and thought I need that!!👍👍 thanks for a great video
I installed The J Pro and the VanTop late this summer. I really love them both and I am waiting on the K1 companion radio head unit to the J Pro.
The J Pro is so very useful far beyond just eye candy.
@@macman1138 I am using the vantop as well, definitely solves visibility issues. How did the J pro install go?
A 2011 came up locally and I wondered how useful it was as a daily driver. It must have a following to have so many useful aftermarket items.
Honestly, it would only be a great daily if you do little highway driving. I only use mine for short distances.
Jeeze! I can't believe all the money this guy could have saved by doing all that himself. I'm a 60 year old woman and I just replaced the carpet in my JKU with Armorlite flooring last weekend and this weekend I'm installing LEDs all around and a new grill! I mean half the fun of owning a Jeep is being able to diy.
I'm noticing a nexus of outspoken and frugal Jeep owners in the comments. I guess I'm willing to pay a premium for service and workmanship. Or maybe I'm just lazy. God bless you all.
Mickey Reyes....OK BOOMER!
The patches were my favorite upgrade you've done 👌
Bro, you upgraded your jeep just like i want mine.. this video was so helpful, I actually hope you the best! and if anytime you come tu Cancun, let me know!!! lol
Thank you for the words of encouragement! 💯
Good video brother
Simple video. And helpful. Thanks!!! Subbed !
Even tho I don’t own a wrangler but looking to buy one.
nice additions. i’d suggest not selling your original parts immediately after putting on something new. you never know how long amazon stuff will last and if it’s your daily driver you can’t go far without working lights. but i’ve bought 1000’s of dollars of accessories there and haven’t had too many issues.
I have a Cargo net above the rear seats .. has loops for Fishing poles
Genius!
Nice I Liked a few ur 44 Amazon Accessories + I Subcribed + liked ur page KOOOL Bra!!!
Finally a video with loads of usable everyday driver stuff showcased in one place. Thanks.
Good video brotha. Very informative. How do you like to digital cluster? Also how often do you have to update?
It's one of my favorite features. I've never updated it, and don't expect to.
Definitely not all accessories are for me, but I like the saddle bags! Enjoy! 👌🏽
Cheers, thanks for watching!
totally nice build! but i think most of these can be done on your own !
Fo sho, that's part of the fun for some.
Good list. Take a pto day and install next time.
i have the same color JK and used the duplicolor PS2 paint for gate Hinge covers.. it made it look super clean!
Thanks for the tip! I removed my covers, and you're right, it looks better without the black plastic.
@@MrOscillot Awesome bro! Did you paint them or just leave the hinges exposed?
Exposed for now, but painted covers would look more finished.
@@MrOscillot it definitely does I posted a pic on my IG @JK_War_Machine.
@@MrMsadley I painted my covers yesterday and they look awesome. Thank you!
I thought the video was very good and helpful
You could have save nearly $1000 by installing everything yourself.. shop installation rate defeats the purpose of saving... be careful about the throttle controller, i had one for a year until it failed.. now the throttle control put my jeep in limp mode when there is a strong CB radio signal.. it is very dangerous.. if a truck on the highway us a cb signal it can disable your jeep in real time and you can crash. I have removed my throttle controller.. there are lots of cool stuff for the jeep you can grab from amazon..but many of them are very poor quality.. i live up north where we have extreme cold weather and salty roads..Most aftermarket cheap headlights don't last here up north.. ive got a set that only last 2 weeks due to cold. The hallo color on the ride side did not match the left side hallo when temperature was dropping, also some headlight brands are yellowing under the sun...they are made of cheap poly plastic. Like you mentionned, the return policy is great but only if the stuff you buy on amazon are returnable. Some items are sold by third party sellers and they are much more difficult to return.. they often located in china and you need to pay for the return label... so always make sure you order from a true amazon seller with prime service and not some third party seller.
So you can wire in the halos to daytime running lights or your running lights, and they will automatically come on in the last setting you had them on. Pretty simple mod.
Too flashy for me, but thanks for pointing that out.
I’d just leave them white as my running lights
Awesome video with some great products! Lined up my wish list... Question on the saddlebags... Are you still able to use the seatbelts with those installed?
Yes, they do not obstruct the seatbelts.
@@MrOscillot Thanks for the reply!
I can tell the steering wandering on the road in your clip.
The taillights are plug-n-play and takes 5-10 minutes to install.
Dang 350 for headlight install. I just swapped mine out in 10 minutes after watching a 2 minute UA-cam video. Like 4 screws and some plastic tabs and that’s it
To each their own. I understand people wanting to install parts themselves. That was me once.
In retrospect, I guess I could have saved some bucks by installing the headlights and taillights myself. But I don't regret trading the total installation fee for the total amount of time.
Flag badge is on backwards. Switch it to the drivers side
He doesn't know. And never will. 😂
...they are probably only made one way, so one side is always going to be backwards. not sure why people don't know "stars lead the way" is beyond me. I guess no one does their research...
We as a community have decided to revoke your Jeep privilege's.
LOL I accept your revocation.
i agree
Wow. I was shock that you bit the bullet on the digital gauges swap. I just got my 2016 JKU Rubicon, and not all are amazon, but the top 5 items I have swapped was the stock radio to Stinger Heigh10. I have to say without this video I did not realize that they have digital gauges upgrade, the gauges are not really bothering me. Secondly the awful headlights! OMG. I'm also switching them to KC Lite gravity 7 , so many little other upgrades included, Grab Bar, Door pockets, Rear door extension etc.
Congrats on your new Jeep. Your build sounds sweet!✌
Just a heads up. DOT headlights have a vertical cut off so they don't blind drivers coming at you. Those didnt look like they had the cutoff
That's a great point. You get what you pay for, and I didn't pay much for this set of headlights.
Without the spare mounted on the back, you will notice how dirty your rear window gets. Jeeps are boxes, so the periptery creates a vacuum at the back and sucks road dirt onto the surface. The rear-mounted spare breaks up the flatness and reduces aerodynamic drag.
No issue with dirt on my rear window, but as I mentioned, this Jeep is road only.
@@MrOscillot I'm glad that it's not a problem. I experienced a lot of buildup, but drove a lot of country roads and gravel roads.
You really loaded if you pay that much money for such easy installs 😅 good for you buddy.
Good video tho 👍🏻
I so want the new dash for my wrangler.
It isn't a rational choice as a standalone purchase, but it's cheaper than upgrading to the JL!
@@MrOscillot I just got a 2015 and was a little disappointed in the dash. My BF has a 2016 Jeep Cherokee and the dash is super nice. I guess I know what I’m getting for Xmas. Is the price for the
Dash in CAD or USD? Thanks :)
@@Kal3ido All prices are in USD. Keep in mind that you might need (or want) a shop to install it. You can check out AdventureDEX's install video to see what is involved.
Carobotor is offering $200 off 12/31/20-1/2/21 using code "carobotor".
What an upstanding Amazon affiliate
He paid more to install the parts than all the parts added together. Super smart.....
I bought $2700 in parts, and paid the installer $1200. The gauge cluster alone was $1100. That was also my reason for going to the installer, since I didn't feel like removing the dash myself.
This video has also yielded me thousands of dollars in commissions and ad revenue. At least some of that traffic is coming from the active comments thread, so thank you for your feedback!
BRO!!! I wish I made your kind of money!!! The amount you spent on the rip off artist install shop could have bought me a ton of extra stuff!!!
Keep hustling, Dobby.
How much did Itech charge to install the grab handles?
😂
They ripped you off on them tail lights to install. They are plug and play
How much did the shop charge you to install the front window sunshade ? Been thinking about doing it myself but I'd rather have professionally done
Where did you attach the back-up cam to? Not your top right?
It's mounted on my license plate frame, which is where the spare tire used to be.
$40 for a trash can?
2012+ just have the 3.6 v6 wich has 284hp it is alot better performance wise.
Hey I can’t find the jo-pro gauges? The link doesn’t work.
Link has been updated in the description. www.carobotor.ca/shop/jpro/
$11 color matched adhesive patch for the seat. I bought a lot of different shades and picked the one that didn't match at all. My mechanic then installed this patch for $410.
Your channel is literally watching water boil.
@@MrOscillot He's right though. Why did you use that color that wasn't even close?
@@tml184 I bought several from Amazon and that was the closest match.
@@MrOscillot The lighter one to the left looks better and it's a lighter color.
Your Jeep never sees mud? That’s ridiculous that’s what Jeep’s are made for!
Not me, my Jeep only sees trails and mud
And his spare is a chore. 😂
Don't get an ultrasonic rodent repeller. They don't work and piss off neighbours and their pets. Get those small electroshock pads and install them instead they work like an electric fence and are way better from my experience.
I feel like you spent a lot for installation of some of those items. The money you could have saved would buy more items.
How is the Carobotor J Pro holding up?
Not a single problem. Still my favorite upgrade.
@@MrOscillot Thanks! Maybe it will be a present to myself this holiday season.
what tires are you running?
Michelin Defender LTX. Good for the street.
What type of tires do you have on your jeep?
I bought the car used with Linglong Crosswind mud tires, which looked great, but were loud and didn't ride smoothly. I upgraded to the Michelin Defender LTX all-terrains that are shown here, and they are so much better on the road.
@@MrOscillot Sweet, thinking about getting those on my jeep. They look great on yours!
Most of the mods you bought for this old Jeep is standard factory installed with a newer Jeep
JLs are great, but I wouldn't want one as a daily driver.
6:03 so why not save it for a different video?
Bruhhh to change out tail lights it’s 2 screws and 1 wiring harness
I went to the shop for the gauges and backup cam, but you're right to point out that I could have saved some bucks by installing the lights myself.
How's that carobotor holding up. I'm seeing a lot of bad reviews on it.
Oh bummer. Still working great for me!
May I ask you which is your tyres size?
thanks a lot
285/70 R17.
@@MrOscillot thanks. And which is the brand?
@@Alex.S1205 Michelin Defender LTX M/S.
@@MrOscillot great! Thanks and compliments for your car!
What wheels and size are those?
They're 17x11 American Eagle beadlocks.
Bro lift that thing, would be bada$$
I hope I-tech used lube when you came in and bent over for them. Everything you hand them do can be done with absolutely no electrical knowledge.
Itec be sayin.. I be rippin you off jezzz
$63 dollars to replace two tail lights that business is ripping you off it takes 5 minutes two screws to replace a tail light. Its called plug and play its that easy
Super lazy not to do it yourself. Like they say "A fool and his money are soon parted" hahaha Half the fun is doing it yourself!
Damn man you would’ve saved so much money doing all of these simple things yourself
There's no way I could have installed the camera or gauge cluster myself. Could have saved some bucks on the rest, but didn't feel like it.
@@MrOscillot bruh u really spent 150 bucks to install the led taillights when any dummy can install them in less than 20 minutes
No spare tire seems like a very stupid move.
There is a USB charging port in your armrest compartment
You're right, thanks for the correction! I still like the Speedcur's location and quick charging feature.
Apparently Itech charged him for things. LOL. He's done more harm then good. Just go and buy a 2021 jeep.
I'd like to get the V8 Wrangler they just announced... in eight years after it's depreciated.
Wait, how is it a chore to open your tailgait with a spare tire on it? I'm not understanding this at all.
For me, it was the weight, bulk, and rear visibility, but I understand not everyone is willing to wait for a tow truck if they get a flat. I don't plan to go off-road or to remote areas, but will pack my spare in my trunk (or take one of my other vehicles) if I change my mind.
@@MrOscillot okay, I was just wondering.
$120 for Headlights and Fogs!?
Were is this hood place that you live at, were you have to have key-latch on your hood? WTF...
I cant believe jeepers like this cant even install your own tail lights ridiculous and dont say u dont enough time plug and play literally 😂😂 this will be a mall crawler for sure once u get those exterior mods
I did briefly consider replacing my Trail Rated fender badge with one that says "Mall Rated." Thanks for watching!
You paid to much for installation, when you can done all the installation yourself, but enjoy it.
Don't hate the playa, hate the game.
@@MrOscillot it’s no hate man, it just they that you over paid.
@@jesusgjchuza6491 My hourly rate >> his hourly rate. And installing car electronics isn't fun for me anymore.
Man do your thing but you gotta stop paying a shop $150 to install tail lights. It’s literally 4 Phillips head screws
The mountain of comments have made me aware of how many people would rather install car parts themselves. But when you make affiliate-sponsored UA-cam content, it's faster and more profitable to subcontract parts of the production out. Sure, I could have spent a few hours installing parts to make this video, but I didn't have to or want to. Please click on any of the product links below if you'd like to see more videos like this.
Geez that I place really over charged, but if you got Money to throw fuck it
I was happy to support a local business, and he did a much more professional job than I could have, especially with the backup camera's cable routing.
Who wants separate keys for different sides of a hood latch? That's stupid
Agreed. When I got replacement latches sent to me because one key didn't work, one of the second pair worked with a key from the first pair. Lucky me.
As soon as I heard 44 parts installed, I'm out. That just seems absolutely absurd haha
Don’t know how gov would allow diff colored bulbs and flashing...need a remote omg! Dude what happens when batteries die? and what about the hood locks, u need a key to open hood each time u want to get in bc u protecting electrical? Doesn’t make sense.
The lights are a fun party trick for car shows and such, but I haven't used them in years. Regular daytime running lights would be much more practical. The hood locks are just for peace of mind, but I agree it is a bit paranoid.
I couldn't imagine paying 150 for a simple tail light install 😭my boy you got scammed!
