Next time you’re trying to run wire thru the firewall. Tape the wire to a coat hanger. It’ll be stiff enough to push thru that rubber hole for the manual clutch pedal. And it’s easier to grab and pull from the other side as well. And it allows you to run wire fairly efficiently thru the dash to the switch mounting spots.
The "Howling" fins are for cooling knucklehead, thats how heat dissipates from the heat source, i.e. The light, way to ruin it. Kinda like putting HUMMER on a jeep hood.
Yes we know they are. This didn’t effect the cooling at all. Works just fine and is quiet.
Hummer on a Jeep hood just bothers the people who take it to seriously lol
@@FreedomCrawler So I think as a white male U should get a Black Pride tattoo... Ya know, just ta see. Lol
Lol I’m not much of a tattoo guy but my friends would appreciate the hell out of that
@@FreedomCrawler rawk on man!
The only thing I would have changed is, I would have put heat shrink on those connections behind the a pillar mount.
'The jeeps a looker but the view ain't bad.' Lol agreed.
Lol you feel me
@@FreedomCrawler 😂😂😂
Hey guys! Always love to see another Jeep couple getting involved together! My husband and I have been building Jeeps (XJ, JK now JKU) for a few years and it's amazing to have your best friend also interested in your favorite hobbies! If you guys plan on continuing to add lights (KC, more light bars) or other electrical components, I'd suggest investing in an S-Pod. We'll be doing a build-it-yourself video of one here soon, but it really cleans up the interior of that "3.6L V8 Diesel Supercharged" (LOL! too funny) area beneath the hood and waterproofs all of your circuits and connections if y'all do take that rig offroad. Keep On Jeepin' On, friends!
We really appreciate that. Our Hybrid doesn't make much power but we do what we can. lol. We are definitely going to spend some time surfing your channel now. Have a great weekend!
Jeep_ Noob if it was rude im soooo sorry
for safety reasons she should be wearing a bikini. loose clothing could get snagged on things.
Very good point! Safety first always.👍😂
Fucking creep.

i only click on the video to see the "thumb nail" heck with the light bar :)
"The Jeeps a looker, but the view ain't bad!" LOL
+tedwoe You get it. Lol
Can I get a thumbs up from any 80s babies who were diggin' the nostalgic playlist in the background? I swear I was instantly taken back to high school with all the great music playing in the background! A time when life was much more simple and all your problems could be fixed by staring at a lake. le sigh
+Brian Bridges you already know it! Life was so easy in high school lol
I need more Jeep girl and whatever she was installing
You’re telling me lol
we all know why we clicked on this video lol
duh..
Duh, Light Bar for vehicle
yeeeeeeup
Hoping for a tank top,no bra.
What's with the hummer decal unless it refers to her
Great install video! I wouldn't recommend putting anything in between the fins on the light. They are used to dissipate heat created by the light when turned on. Unless you are not planning to use it and just have it for looks. Again thanks for the video.
She did that and didnt even break a nail.
LEVEL: MASTER... COMPLETE.
+MFG762 Shes got some serious skills. Lol
Way to go girl. You did great.
That was helpful, thanks for sharing.
those fins on the back of the light bar are heat sinks... basically to help dissipate heat when it gets hot. Isn't covering them with window seal or whatever a bad idea? Good informative video though. Thumbs up PS: and yes i also thought the hummer sticker was wack...before I read about the parody videos. Keep it up.
I was going to say the same thing about the fins. Packing insulation between them totally defeats their purpose. You say you're doing it because of the noise, but then you have big mudder tires on the Jeep that make more noise than the light bar would.
Agreed, the fins are there for a reason. Light bars with the massive amount of LEDS, especially cheap ones like this, create a lot of heat and need to dissipate that heat or from what I've read, it will severely shorten the lifespan of the LEDs.
That's what I was thinking. Thanks!
my kit came with longer bolts for the bar using factory bolts was not enough threads to hold them on
Thanks for the video guys. I plan to do the same with mine soon.
+Jon B I appreciate that. Easy installation for sure
Thus video made it seem so simple. Good job man👍🏻
+ryan barry Thank you Ryan. Just want to help out where we can.
You can hide the wires with the existing plastic tube, the one you zip tied it to,that thing opens up, you will find more wires inside it. You could also but a smaller tube and put the wires in that and zip tie it like you have it, just to make it look better and cleaner, but you guys did great!
+Awdsie thank you, we cleaned it up more later but just wanted to use this as a basic reference. We obviously mix humor with seriousness in hopes that most people understand he differences lol thanks for replying and have a great week
I think it’s awesome that you so much together and it looks great.
Thanks, we have a good time
a girl that can actually turn a rachet properly and not look like a 5 yr old doing it is awesome
+arod55 Agreed.
She can't do shit.. that dude is mansplaining everything to her.. She's literally only doing it for the views.
She is turning the ratchet like a 5 yr old. There’s also no need for that extension on the ratchet. Also she only needs to break those screw loose and they’ll come out by hand the rest of the way
@@Mike_hocksbig69 ...As she hits the "Wrangler/Hummer" with the ratchet and scratches the paint.
When you are adding anything to a vehicles power supply always + positive first then negative. when taking something off always take the - negative off first then the positive. It's like adding + first and subtracting - first . Hope that helps so you don't get hurt or burn your system up or mess something up.
^ good advice.
nicely done and good info thanks
Thank you and thanks for watching
5:15 IM DONE I was laughing so hard when she agreed with the Diesel Hybrid V8
Lol we try and add as much humor as we can in. Have you checked out the parodys?
I've seen the dangerous Jeep one, I just turned 16 and got a 2004 TJ, so I was looking for an install vid on a $80 LIght Bar... Keep up the good work!
+The White Batman Thank you. Great pick, those TJ's are awesome to build
Thank you guys, especially once again the “Jeep Girl” for the really very good and informative installation video👍🏻❗️
Oh, and by the was in spite of the fact that I surely am old enough to be your Grandpa, you are as cute as a button and you sincerely do
Add a lot to an otherwise sorta dull topic🥴👍🏻.
Post Script...I did have a couple of questions pondered which you nicely answered, so my appreciative statements are not to be mistaken
As light.
how has the bar held up since install? have you had any electric issues?
Great video.
+Andrew Cooke thank you
Light bar looks great! I love that you guys get down to Tom Delonge. Nobody where I live really seems to get it.. Unless you were just listening to random shuffle on Pandora and have no idea what Im talking about :p looking to install a light bar of my own in the not so distant future. Take care there.
+ryan imboden you already know! lol I appreciate the reply.
Nice I like it
thanks for the vid!!! got a off topic question, what brand are those Fender Flares? They look nice!
+Kris Gomez We cut them ourselves. We have a fender trim how to video also
Great video!
Thanks Luke!
I love that Dashboard is playing in the background!!
oops I mean Secondhand Serenade! my bad couldn't really hear it over the dude talking
+Cory Henrickson lol we try and find a happy median between background music and talking but its difficult. the music is often more entertaining. lol
Pretty good video, I would liked to have seen what you did to the back of the light bar and the new switch.
+Se7vinDeadlySins we go over a bit more detail in our how to get rid of Lightbar wind noise. Much improved over what I mentioned here
Jeep_ Noob thanks. I will check that out.
I like the freedom crawlers decal
Joseph Tyburski thank you, that's our jeep club
Jeep_ Noob yeah I kinda figured....great name for a jeep club
nice video.... I just ordered my 30" light bar for my hood. I have no use for a 50" living in NY so i went with the 30" witch is 1/3 of the price and just as much fun. who knows maybe ill still add the 50". As for your stickers getting stolen i use to live in TX what i use to do was take a razor blade and cut them once placed where i wanted them. No one will notice it and if some one decides to take it well then they can have pieces of the sticker.
nice jeep bro. also its your jeep so if you want hummer stickers on it have keep em on and don't stress over the negative comments
Yeah you got a good view how about this way man. Nice video.
LOL to much fun nice vid
Good job! Keep Austin weird!Cheers from Alaska by way of San Antonio!
Thanks for the reply. The mounts I need are the one for a 2017 jku. Are theses the ones that will come?
+Taktakmo should be. The mounts for all Jo’s are the same. The only difference you should see are 50” vs 52” mounts. 50” will hug the windshield all the way to the top vs 52” which are slightly wider at the top giving it a slightly wider look to its front profile. That’s why i prefer 52”
You made a nice video. Pretty informative
+James Lonergan we really appreciate that. It's not all perfect. We get that, just trying to help out and add a bit of humor. I hope you have a great weekend
Thank You, keep on doing your videos, very enjoyable. You both the type of special people I hope to meet along life's trails.
Cool!
Where did you get that freedom crawlers decal i love that
+mully929518 thank you, that's our off-roading club
good music taste and thanks for the help
+HardOnGaming I appreciate that alot
Great vid. I like your "Hummer" decals, what a joke! I had a hummer H-2 for 5 years. I sold it to buy my JK Unlimited! I fell back in love with Jeep when they came out with the unlimited 4 door with sick insulated roll bar with speakers and unlike the H-2, I could take the top-off! I'm still tricking it out and taking the top off................
Thank you for understanding the humor behind them lol. HUMMERs are great rigs also but Jeeps are just so much easier to work with when it comes to aftermarket support. Sounds like you have a sweet setup going on.
Hey jeep girl welcome to the big 4x4's family you need to master the tools girl but good job.
I knew you got it wrong but I was like....uuuummmmmm...no. Wait what? lol good thing u clarified lol
Did you happen to note in here which brackets you purchased for this install?
Not sure if you've found this out since this video, but you should move the wire connections to one of the other terminals on the battery. The one you hooked it to has a special nut on it that is rounded on the bottom and is used to tension the battery cable clamp. Becaues of this, I ran into an issue where my clamp wouldn't tighten fully and the cable worked its way off the terminal over the period of about 18 months. On the positive side, you have 3 terminals that you can use. On the negative side, you have a stud but no nut so you'll have to get a nut that works.
Exactly!
Hey guys/gals, Thank you for the great in depth vid tutorial. Seriously it's probably the best vid I've seen as of 72116, and I've watched a bunch. Great job. As for the haters, forget about em. They just slam other people because it makes them feel better about their pathetic worthless lives. Oh yeah, i was going to ask Jeep girl how many scratches she has aquired on the face of her watch? Get Your Mod On!
Thank you so much Jeff. She said 2! lol.
are there any problems with moisture between the brackets and the windshield posts? ie rusty mounting bolts etc.
+Mark Cobb no, I haven't had any issue with rust. There may be moisture but I haven't seen any problems
jeep girl I need light's put on my jeep LOL
That looks like the Yitomotor light bar I just received. I'm on here because there was NO INSTRUCTIONS! This video was real helpful. I would have liked to see more detail of the actual install and tightening of the light bar to the mount. On mine there is a gap between the mounts and the bar. I dont know if I've left something off the end of the bar or what? its a 52" bar but there is about 2" of gap. Also, I would really had liked to see where the switch wire was run through the firewall after you had it installed. I couldn't see where you were showing from inside the engine bay and I cant see where to run the wire on mine either.
Overall, this is a helpful video! Jeep girl is very cute and seems very sweet. Treat her right !
+Pete Minter I really appreciate that. If you can send me a picture of the gap you're referring to on Instagram. Search for: Jeep_Noob
We ran it through a rubber grommet plug near the gas pedal. You have to punch a hole in it. If you pull the carpet back a bit from the gas/brake pedal area you should see a black rubber plug that can be used to drain water that I'm referring to.
Welded the light bar
Can I ask what came with the light bar? The the harness and brackets come with it?
+Taktakmo this one came with the Lightbar, harness and brackets. Plug and play. Others do not but essentially that’s all you need to get this running
Nice jeep man!!
+Kittykitten420 Thanks! We've since moved on to another. I wasn't very happy with the overall look and feel of it but it was a fun build
Are you happy with the light bar? With how bright it gets with the spot
/ flood combo? I'm almost ready to get one of these in the red but
want to make sure it will actually work, etc.
+Shannan Redden I was happy with our 10" light bar really. The 50" is pretty overkill
Thanks, I was just wondering about any issues with the brand of light bar, like not bright, stopped working, or maybe water getting into it, etc. They offer a red one just like the one you had ordered and I was thinking about getting it. Just wanting your opinion. Thanks!
tape the wire to a straitened out coat hanger and push through the firewall grommet, easy, come on jeep girl.
We like to live dangerously lol
Just subscribed to you guys!!!! And yall from texas too!!! Great.. im in the clear lake area... houston!! Im gonna do the light bar as well.. just got my 1st jeep in april.... its completely stock...sucks but ok.. love my jeep.. what size lift do you have!???
Thanks for touching base and subscribing! We do 3.5” lifts on our JKU’s starting a new build right now actually in our most recent videos
Stock will get you all over the place too. We will be doing a few stock runs to help show that to people
Wiring power by connecting ground first with switch on ? Recipe for disaster (injury,damage...etc.)
+Joe Flynn keeps life interesting lol. It's all pretty low voltage but yes we do make mistakes. I try and keep the footage pretty raw, otherwise it gets kind of boring lol
Shes good, you sure are lucky to have a girl like her👌
Where did you get your mount brackets
Amazon
nice Hummer Wrangler u got there lol
Thank you. lol
hey pick up the Carolina metal masters light bar locks
I tried to use stuff from another video to quiet the sound but it didnt work. Where did u get yours?
Was it our video? We posted a video on how to keep it quiet with door trim
what made yous get hummer sticker on the jeep ? i actually like it !. very different to normal wrangler stickers or something. i have a black 2011 jeep wrangler unlimited. and im definitely getting the 52" led bar. such a great video showing how to install thanks guys !:)
Because the jeep culture is too serious now a days and everyone hates on everything. So now they have a reason to hate on something while myself and others who are out there just trying to have fun laugh and keep enjoying what we are doing
where did you put the switch on the inside of the jeep for the bar?
Kelly lee Beresford on the bezel to the left of the steering wheel
driving around like a "TARGET"? yeah i hear you man...here in Cali you can't have shit on your trucks cause everything gets stolen. Just can't have anything nice these days without some idiots messing with your ride....UGH
Great detail and good price on light man.
+Retired Tony Ramirez it's sad right? I hate that it's become the norm to have to worry about that stupid shit
Jeep_ Noob damn right! caught someone trying to steal off my old k20 4x4, punched him out and I got arrested for defending myself? plain stupid! here in LA you can't have a nice truck tool box either without installing reinforcement padlocks smh.
how long and what size bolts did you use my oem bolts are too short
+Savino Menchaca we used the stock bolts for the mount. I really had to press down on the mounts to get them to bite though
I kept on expecting her to arch the battery lol
+dsmmike95 she knows better than that lol
WHY IS HE WINNING, she did the work,,,, she did a dern good job too !!!!!
+123willy1000 I always win lol
......don't tell her that.
What part do you drill it to under the hood?
Drill the small module? You can mount that wherever you would like it to sit. We just used some of the plastic framing in the area
Good video. You still have the lightbar?
This lightbar is still on the rig but we do not own the rig anymore
Clicked for the thumbnail, stayed for the installation.
That’s how I felt when I met her
great vid and music aha
+Chase Nielsen thanks Chase. Have a great weekend!
Did a great job... Wait this was a install video? No...have to watch it again.
I feel that
i don't know much about light bars but i do know a little about installation mechanics. that wire harness that you were putting through the firewall but the brake booster should have been but UNDER the washer fluid hose and not OVER it. lol i bet you fixed that after you realized what would happen when you tighted down the wire harness.
I'm from Austin as well and believe that I've seen that jeep around town. We just traded our 2011 in for a 2016. That light bar that y'all have says 2007-2014. Did they change something on the new jeeps as to make this light bar not fit or do you think it will be good to go on a 2016?
no it should be good for all year jks.
Interesting. I'm pretty sure that those terminals got hooked up on the clamping nut for the battery terminal clamp. I see electrical problems in thier future as the clamp is no longer tightening to the battery post.
+Jay Steinfort I tightened them all the way down. Been good to go ever since. There's other options and I've used them in a couple different locations. Whatever works best for you is the best route for sure
Hey guy's. I got the same light bar and I would like to change the switch. Have you changed yours and how did you do it? I noticed the switch has electronics inside of it.
Yes, we usually just cut off the switch and then wire it up into a flip switch or a pod switch. Haven’t had an issue with them. Worst case cut yours off with some room on each end so if you need to reattach it you can.
Thank You I will sure give it a try
So... if you're looking at a used JK, and it already has one of these monstrosities on it, how bad is the windshield frame and hinge going to be if you try to remove it?
Should be totally fine
playing video at 5x speed
the light bar looks amazing on the jeep! but it looks kinda hard to install it when jeep girl was doing it
Its really not that bad. You delete all the filming and instruction and its pretty quick and easy
Lol well if you say so
Looks great bro. Thumb's up!~John
+WORRO01 thank you, I really appreciate that
4X4ever JEEP
DE VEHICULOS MILITARES A HISTORICOS AVENTUREROS YEAH
go online and look up anti theft bolts. Then replace the mounting bolts with them. also just get wheel locks for your wheels. Replace one lug nut and your good. make sure you put one on your spare as well. If it takes too much time the bad guys are interested. Nice install and thanks for the laughs.
We are running them on the wheels. I was actually going to put that or tack weld the bolt up top on
factor 55 has them for winches they might for light bars too.
I agree. I have no need for a "bullet proof" or "Sharknado prroof" light bar. I got a cheap one that works when I need it to and I'm not going to wince if a tree branch hits it ( a rock already did and it works fine). Nobody's looking to steal it either >BONUS!
My jeep is making a weird noise after installing this light bar, it sounds like a whirling fan whenever i accelerat, any tips?
+Jacob Lichtenwalter yepp, I actually made a video on how to help that out a lot. You just need some door trim
What size lift are you running?
+Jadis Ortega this one had 3.5" rock krawler coils
My cousins light bar got stolen off his jeep a year and a half ago. 52 inch rigid industries light bar. Went to class, came out a little while later only to find his light bar missing. They fortunately left his pods though.
And he lives in Texas too
+znovosad555 Damn that really sucks. They are so easy to rip off.
+Jeep_ Noob yeah they are. Sad because people work hard for nice things and some jackass steals it and sells it for profit. His jeep went missing too but I never heard much else about that.
hummers & jeeps are bad ass both american made.. i have a h3 my self
+Cielo Melgoza I loved our H3. Great rig. Only thing I wished it had was a solid front axle and the 5.3. Other than that I would have kept it forever
Why in the hell would u put a hummer sticker on a jeep. Hummer impersonator
Welcome to the channel. take a look around and watch our parody videos. It'll all make sense. especially in our channel description
+deebo gotyou No, that's just an ignorant comment
that poor jeep you don't do that to a jeep what did it ever do to them for it to deserve such insanity 😢
+randy miller I do have a hummer
Brandon Castor hummers suck
At least the girl did 95% of the job. The guy was only their for moral support and to hold the camera. It's good for people to know "how to's"!!!!!!!!
I would replace the hummer for a jeep sticker instead. I love jeep...
..me too..
Joy B silly bimbo jeeps are way cooler the hummers
Now you need to install a CB radio
I have one across the top of the roof on a custom rack
would you help me install the same kit on my tj jeep noob
+dennis barszcz should be the same concept for sure.
What size tires are those?
Starbaby1128 those are 37x15.5R20's
You put those wires on the wrong post for the battery. Those are to tighten it down on the battery and can't function properly with anything connected. You need to get a nut and put it on the negative post that is empty with no nut. The positive already has 3 posts with other things you can loosen one of those and use. But don't use the posts you did as it weakens the battery terminal connection.
Never had a problem with it but I get what you’re saying
Don't blame you one bit for getting a cheap light bar if they are stealing them like that looks good by the way 👍👍👍
