Hey man loved the video, what camera equipment are u running?
@@battlebossv9219I use a Sony A7iii and a GoPro!
keep your work !
So awesome to see a mk4 getting some love. Videos is great hope see more, I have a mk4 gli about to revive and have running this year.
Clean ass MK4 man I want that vr6 engine or the 1.8t right now I have the 2.slow building it up maybe i'll just do a engine swap if I find a good 1.8t and transmission.
That Jetta mk_4 story was gold. I like hearing of this kind of connection in is this world that's being pulled apart. That Jetta is lookin super clean man nice job. Respect!
Thought it was a cool story and wanted to share with you guys! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Bro, you being honest and upfront is why i love this build content. You’re killing it and keeping it real. As challenging as it is it really helps folks like me relate. I too have bough the wrong size of stuff or forgot something or broke something. I really love how the Jetta looks and all the effort you’re putting into it.
Thank you so damn much man. These comments truly keep me going and mean the world. Thanks for being here!
Looks great! Also love that you put in all the little failures or setbacks of getting different things together. I hate when dudes have videos and they talk about how easy it is and everything just works out perfect cause I know 9 times out of 10 they probably edited stuff like this out. It's nice to see it and get a better understanding for the work here
It’s funny how even my most simple projects go hog wild.. haha but I appreciate the kind words!
@@DakotaStone I feel like they do for everyone, that's what makes it a fun memory and makes videos like this nice and relatable versus the Mr perfection guy who totally never dropped one screw or socket during his whole install.
Finally found a new VW channel YES I miss my mk5 I really want a mk4
Glad ya found me! Really been enjoying the Jetta.. might have another VW coming to the fleet soon!
I run Continental Extreme contact's on my Mk6 GLI in Wisconsin for a couple years and they have been amazing. Randomly stumbled upon your channel and love you repping wisconsin
Hell yeah, love to hear that man! Appreciate you watching. Wiscooooo!
Im loving this series! No over the top crazy expensive builds. Just a good dude modifying a cool car
I really appreciate it Kyle! Thank you
those new headlights look sooo much better it makes the car look super clean
They helped a TON! So happy I found them on ECS. The light output is a lot better than what I had before too since they were so fogged up
I am so excited to watch this when I het home
I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO WATCH THIS WHEN YOU GET HOME
@@DakotaStone AYOOOOO
I’m glad you keep it real. One of my favourite UA-camrs.
That means the world 🙌🏻 thank you
Been waiting for this! Gud Daily 🤘
🙌🏻
My favorite car mk4 Jetta 2.0 manual, that thing had so many miles on it, slow as heck but nothing could bring that thing down, except a landscaping truck that wasn’t paying attention.
You will find that those headlights look awesome, but they suck at night. Not to mention the fact that they are Euro spec and road signs will not illuminate at night due to the tilt of the beam. It is actually kind of neat at first, but I felt that they were kinda dangerous for me, and forget about it if it rains. I ended up getting rid of them for a set of ANZA headlights which were much better.
Cars are a universal language
My favorite part about the car community is how we can talk to anyone and instantly be friends. Having the common ground makes conversations simple and fun. Anyone not into cars is missing out
BTW, the podiums are nice! I'd love to go with those or the Rotiform BUC on my Mk 7 R.
I like my factory wheels (VW Rotary wheel), but I think they're possibly bent. They're also not made anymore.
Just found your channel with this little build series and I’m hooked. Love your personality and how real you are with the “struggles” of modding lol. Keep this shit up man your channel is gonna be huge
YOOO! Welcome! So happy you’re enjoying the series and my nonsense 😅 Glad you’re here
Every single video is amazing! Jetta is looking clean
Thank you thank you thank you! Comments like this keep me going 💪🏻
Love it. Super nice daily driver. Almost too nice to run it in snow. I enjoyed the build.
Wisconsin does hurt my soul with all the salt they throw down. It never gets easier driving cars through the winter 😔
LFGGGG! Love the wheels, whole video had me smiling like a kid, so glad to see this car get love
HELL YEAH DAVE! 🫶
Been loving this series with the Mk4 Jetta. Not to much current stuff is coming out on the MK4s. After watching the last video I went out pickup the clear side reflects. Cheers.
That’s awesome to hear! I’ve been enjoying the platform. Nice scoop on the clears!!! So subtle by man it cleans it up
flexing the dsw's in d s and w is sick
Worked out oddly well for the video! Hahaha
Common W Dakota Upload! The Jetta looks soooo sick dude! The wheels are perfect! I was laughing when you were talking off the grill and everything was going wrong, reminded me of when I worked on my miata lol, ran into problems and situations like that ALL THE TIME hahaha. Looking forward to more vids!
Thank you!! Removing the bumper just instantly started going wrong lmao. Never can be to easy.
I am loving this series so much man and very grateful for it. My rx8 was recently totaled and I got a 2017 manual honda fit after it and this series is giving me great ideas. Keep up the great content!
So damn happy you enjoy the series. Extremely sorry to hear about your Rx8 but glad you’re alright! Make something of that fit!
@DakotaStone Yeah man I'm okay! Those things are really solid for a little sports car and it tanked a jeep and I got out with minor scratches only! Appreciate the love and the fit is gonna be great!
I run those contis on my MKIV jetta. We go to Whistler BC every winter, and these tires had great performance in the deep snow up there. The only thing that stopped us was one day it snowed more than 8" in a few hours, and the car ended up high-centered with snow packed under the car - literally tires off the ground. Great video and thank you for the content you make.
I appreciate your comment! Love to hear other people enjoying the tires too. We finally just got some decent snow in Wisconsin with winter storm Averee coming through. The tires really impressed me. Glad I got them and would gladly run them again. Thanks for being here!
hell yeah brother happy holidays
Happy Holidays!!
I am absolutely loving theses videos, and I am sorry I am just now getting through my watchlist backlog.
Glad you’re watching and enjoying them! Thank you so much!
Thanks bro for the video . Those look dope. 💯 I recently bought a 2009 Passat wagon and really want to pimp it out. #DailyDriver. And you’re right, it’s definitely hard finding rims for it that actually fit./look good . Definitely following you.🤘🏾💯
It's so nice to see someone experience problems every time you work on your car as well LOL - absolutely love the series, keep up the good work my man
It’s pain, but I like keeping it in the vids 😅 thanks for watching!
I dig the wheel choice, also the tires. I had a set of extreme contacts on one set of wheels and some hankooks on another. Both all weather, continentals hands down were so much better, in all conditions. Jetta is coming around my dude, good work.
Love to hear that man! Thank you so much!
Love this build series so much reminds me of how I'm modifying my ion
Glad you’re liking it!
I like your trunk man!!
you should also get VR6/4motion front Lip, it looks really nice, golfs lip works too but u have to customize it, did it on my bora (jetta) too
Love the wheels. I'm not typically a fan of black or gunmetal wheels on black cars but these look super clean. I think a 4motion front valance would look good on it.
Thank you! I do agree with you on the front valance 🤔
This looks perfect as a daily, because for ordinary people it looks like a mom's jetta in decent condition, but car guys would appreciate a simple and tastefully done car when they see one.
It is subtle that’s for sure haha. But that was the goal! 🙌🏻
So so clean❤
🫶
Yes totally make that snow blower vid I wanna see it lol 😂 dude if u wud get like a noice 6-7” tinted brow on the windshield that thing wud look sick 🤙
Dude you gotta get the dice valve stem caps that 52 sells it’s such a cool detail
You’re 100% right
Let go!! Another episode!!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I recognize High Cliff State Park when I see it :D
👀 👀 👀
Great video..when this series started my jetta was sitting on bricks now its almost ready .....just some timing issues and its sorted💪
HELL YES! Way to make some serious progress man! Awesome to hear
Great video, have a MK4 Jetta myself so these videos just feel special to me. For one of the next mods I think you should look into some mirror caps. If you’d like them to tie in with the clear headlights, bumper markers and side markers you should get some chrome mirror caps …. But personally I’d go with some carbon fiber mirror caps to compliment the wheels. Love the content , keep it up brotha 🫶
Appreciate the suggestion and means the world you’re watching & commenting! Thanks for being here
love your content love the vr6 i also have one
I went through that SAME EXACT process when I had my mk4 golf. My 3sdms wouldn't fit and I was so pissed! Glad you figured it out and enjoy your wheels my man.
Damn mk4’s 😅😅😅
@DakotaStone lol it's definitely a love hate relationship. I loved it but damn, was it a headache 🤣
I'd put ceramic coating or some sort of protection on the headlights so they don't yellow over time
I do have some left over ceramic from coating my wheels.. not a bad idea!
I recommend Lamin-X vinyl or similar precut vinyl sheets. They’ve protected my Euro HIDs for the last several years from fading/hazing and impacts.
Looking good man! Always love the videos. Fog lights and/or window tint!!! Don't know what the tint laws are up there but tint would make a huge difference. Down here in Florida window tint laws are more like recommendations and only really enforced if your windshield is less than 70% or you just really pissed off a cop.
The tint laws are.. suggestions 🤫 haha I think I gotta do it! I was liking the fishbowl look but now with the darker theme its almost too much contrast
Gud daily keeps getting more gud.
Amazing episode as always, would have loved to see some oem xenon headlights instead of the aftermarket ones, and i am not really a big fan of black wheels, but i am really happy that you are enjoying your mk4 💚🔥🔥
Thanks man! I could definitely see doing another color in the future on the wheels
lol I did the same thing with my wheel lock key so that made me feel not alone 😂
Glad we’re in this together 😅🤝
Looks grate ! Maybe put some fog lights and lip diffuser ? 🤔🤔
Duraflex VT-R Body kit 🤔🤔
@2:50 and this is why the car community can be great
💯 This comment is why you’re great
I’m on the same boat about the multi lug look, my RSEs have the same cover cap so it puts me at ease.
For sure. I like RSE’s! They look good on just about everything
I don’t know how many times I took the bumper off my mk4 when I had it and the constant struggles I had😂fun times!
I feel like every time I take parts off and put them back on I’m losing hardware.. going to be glued together soon 😅
As a fellow VW owner, I see people trash on ECS all the time but I haven't had a bad experience with them yet after ordering a bunch of stuff from them. Maybe if you're outside the midwest it's not as great (as they are based in Ohio) but as an Illinois boy, it's been great. Genuinely debating ordering their MK6 GTI Turboback because it do sound pretty snazzy.
Love the series, as always!
Thanks for the comment man! Yeah, same. I’ve had a great experience time and time again and would order through them in a heartbeat. Zero issues to report! They’ve been so helpful
On 18” you should go with 40 profile. About the running on strut in the front, I guess it’s because you have coil overs on. Normally ET35 is perfect in 8,5”
You’re 100% right. I agree
love it man i just got a old sedan g35 thinking about putting a 1uz in it lol
Full send bud, love to hear it
BROOOOO I just got a Jetta GLI 2005 and its in such good condition and im watching this for help modding it.
Stoked on the mk4 content just scooped a tdi mk4 wagons couple months ago. Live in il hopefully see you cruisin at some point.
Wanted those same headlights haha also was super tempted to get those three spoke annovias when I saw them on marketplace
And thanks for putting the setbacks in haha same thing happens to me every time doesn’t matter how simple or how prepared I am 😂 part of the game I guess
Yooo! Congrats on the TDI! Wagon is a huge win 👏🏻
@@DakotaStone hahaha thanks man, it was way too damn hard to find one that wasn’t junk but now I feel guilty driving it in Midwest winters cause it’s rust free 😂🥴
Holy COW! That thing looks insane with those wheels! That black and grey combo looks so clean. I think next the car deserves a little bit of Apple Car play...?
Glad you like it man! I’m torn between a new radio with apple car play, or keep vibing with my tapes and cds.. I have a small collection of tapes I keep in the car lol
These wheels are heat!
😤 appreciate you!
@@DakotaStone we appreciate you l and can’t wait to see what you and the boys cook up here in the future! Maybe I’ll find a way to come see it in person with the off season and make more events outside of track days! You’re the man!
Gotta love the one true world known language. Cars
Si!
Fifteen52 is such a good brand
They really are. Love what they’ve done/continue to do!
As a GTI fan and owner this video is so relatable its not funny. I'm not saying the video isn't funny I'm saying...You know what I'm saying 😫Anyone who has worked on cars, amateurs and professionals alike know about that project that will take "like fifteen minutes" and consumes your whole day. In fact, you can count yourself lucky if is just ONE DAY that gets eaten up.💀 Excellent choice of wheels. Ride is looking SHARP 🔪
Hahaha thank you so much! I’ve spent a lot of time making these videos because of the project car syndrome. It’s rewarding when done but the process.. man haha.
I'am in ohio and just order a bunch of stuff for my 3.2 A3, exhaust, shocks/strut, lowering springs and some interior pieces, love ecs.
Love to hear it man!! Giving that A3 some love! ❤️
"If im going to break something im going to be so pissed" after owning 3 mk4 jettas doing the grill and bumper its almost 💯 your going to break something 😂
I knew for sure it was going to happen. Definitely foreshadowing lmao
Heck yeah bro looks good .. and if all else fails you can run some 2" spacers and go mexipoke as they call it lol 😅 ... just pulling ya chain bro .. looks good and I have ran the dws 06 b4 and they were great and stoopid grippy once get some heat in them 🤘🏼.. peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z fam
Hahaha thanks brotha!
GUD DAILY
Yo sick build! I was wondering what exhaust you had on the car? I’m trying to pick one out for my Jetta but I can’t decide but yours sounds amazing!
its shame that the Trebles couldnt fit the Jetta, but at least the podiums fits the Jetta (with the spacers on as well). I'm personally not a fan of the black on black look, need to have some kind of contrast for me, but it does make the Jetta look consistent. I wonder if it might be a good idea to go back into the interior and replace the speakers and head unit of an almost 20 yr old car (if the previous owner hasnt done so already)
I was curious to see how the three spokes would look.. I feel ya on the look! It honestly has grown on me though and I’m happy. However, I change wheels and wheel color like underwear so who knows! 😅
No doubt about the sound system upgrades.
I got an rcn-210 with a set of infinity Primus speakers from crutchfield and imo it rocked the Haus better then the monsoon in dad's old 03.
Notice I said rocked ,and not rocks.
Cold weather came , the radio would cut out when turned up past half.
You could work thru it sometimes , but it got a little colder and won't turn on at all.
For 130$ it's not a huge loss ,but I woulda liked it to last a little longer.
Might go with that rmt-100 next.
I've heard the rcn-210 can be hit or miss, most complaints I read were non functional buttons over time.
Hell yeah
Oh hell ya
The fall leaves falling so angelically are paid actors.
🍂🍁💸💵
TINT brother TINT!!!!!
Hmmmmm 🤔
Sometimes I miss my mk4 vr6 Jetta. But sometimes I don’t lol
I think this is the perfect way to sum up Volkswagen ownership. Especially mk4s
Sweet!
Nice Halo reference 😅

chingon !!
Hey bro, the MK4 Jetta is looking Great!!!👍👍👍 I used to own a 2001 VW Jetta GL in black forest green with black interior. It had the 2.0 automatic engine...(I know, it is a slushbox), but I was not going for performance, I just wanted my Jetta to look cool. Let me give you a little list of what I did to my Jetta. (mind you, it has been a while since I owned that car, so may not have exact info. on the parts fitment, size, etc., this is all from memory, plus I am an old fart😛😛😛).
1. KW coilovers (dropped 2" in front and 1 1/2 on the rear...went for the "raked" look) going over speed bumps, was a no go, always had to plan my routes.😁😁😁
2. I did have to use spacers (forget the size) was not for fitment, but to bring wheels more flush with the fenders.
3. 17X7.5 ADR wheels (forget the name of the rim, but it looked like the style of rims that go on a Ferrari) The tires, brain fart, sorry guys, can't remember the brand, but they wete a little pricey).
4. NEUSPEED cat back exhaust
5. NEUSPEED air filter with chrome shield.
6. NEAUSPEED chrome engine dress up kot.
7. NEU SPEED chrome upper engine brace (forget correct term)
8. NEUSPEED black front and rear strut braces.
9. HELLA upgraded headlights with fogs.
10. HELLA red/clear tails.
11. Euro front bumper (that was a job).
12. REIGER front lip.
13. Crystal clear fender blinker (forget the brand).
14. ABT front grille.
15. ABT rear spoiler
16. Billet aluminum stubby antenna (not really a big deal, but looked better than long stock antenna).
17. Debadged (did put on a BORA badge towards the end)
She was a blast to build, but it took a lot of work and losing things and dropping things in all the cracks and crevices of the car, sometimes, I would have to take apart what I just did, so I can retrieve the screw or piece needed to hold the other part together. So, yeah, I feel you bro.
I was not finished with my Jetta, but I had an unfortunate problem that arose, so I had to stop. The next thing I had planned, was changing the wheels, to a deep dish style wheels, I already had them in my living room with tires on. For those of you who know the "BROCKS" brand, you know what I am talking about, would have made the Jetta way more aggressive looking.👍👍👍
Can't wait to see your final outcome for your MK4 Jetta.❤️❤️❤️
Ayooo! I appreciate this comment and all the info so much! Love that color on them and I bet the KWs were fantastic. This build has made a lot of conversations with people and I’m forever thankful for that. Thanks for watching man!
Ayo Them Wheels Tho!🥵 Thank God For Getting New Headlights! Haha 😅
It was much needed. Thanks for watching and commenting as always my man!
@@DakotaStone "Stay Black Burt" - EuroTrip
Let's Go Dakota! 💯👊🏽💯
Spray those wheels hyper silver!! Love the wheels tho!!
Roof racks would go hard
I really want to do a roof rack setup. These comments are killing me every time I see it haha. I’m gonna do it!
These wheels look like the TWS Imola rims... the current wheels you have on are Santa Monica's we would normally put 165/35/17 tyres on.... yes 165 lol... Car scenes are somehow different
OEM+ 🚀🚀🚀
🤌🤌🤌
dude heck ya a jetta
Mk4 gang 🤜🤛
@@DakotaStone I’m actually in the process of some crazy things with my mk4, I’m building a fully forged 07k for it and running a 6262 on it with some 1200cc injectors hoping to hit 700hp, I’ve welded in a r32 rear pan in it so it’s got the rear Haldex for awd now and I’m in the process of fitting a mk6 Jetta dash in it. Right in my drive way in Kentucky lol. 😂
Love the video and repping ECS! Did you partner with Kasey?
I did talk to Kasey!
@@DakotaStone that's awesome! He's been doing such a good job since he came to ECS! I'm glad he's been making sure you're taken care of!
Funny that not a single former fitment industries employee would run Artisa wheels on any of their cars...almost as if there is something fishy ;) But hey, these looks proper euro style I would say, nice choice :)
We spent a lot of time making that brand, and can assure you there is nothing fishy with them. I was going to run them, but they don’t fit. I have no issue with Anovia.
I hate wheel locks with a passion. I had a set on my S13 many years ago, and for some reason the wheel locks used to get tighter as you drove... long story short, when trying to remove one of them, the "key" portion stripped out of the socket because the lock nut was on so tight... and I couldn't get my wheels off. I was young and didn't really have much in the way of tools back then so had to take it to a shop so they could get the stupid things off.
My hate is probably unfair as I'm sure there's locks with a better key design than the OEM ones I had from NIssan back in the 90's, but what a pain in the ass it was.
A horror story for the ages 😅😅
Dat tire slap wasn't the same but it gives me hope
Hope is all we need
I didn't make it to the end yet lol the daily's looking hecka showy now time for another daily 🤘
OMG he has a MK4 JETTA?
YAS
Definitely gotta get 5% tints all around. Maybe 15% in the front
Yeah I’ve definitely been considering it. My go-to on my cars is usually 20% all around and 50% on the windshield.
Same wheel I was gonna get for my focus ST, but went with the sparco’s because I’m a cheap ass.
I mean.. they are 35% off now! 😅
@@DakotaStone good thing I just paid off the car. Haha
The last time those were tightened was Germany looool
Realistically probably Mexico but whatever 😂❤️
18x8.5 +35 in the the front, 18x9.5 +35 in the back is what I run
Nice I also own a 24valve vr6 Jetta any plans to motor? Or tune? Nice video!
Ayyy let’s go! It does currently have a tune and exhaust from the previous owner. I’d like to pick up an intake soon! Would love to turbocharge it, but it’s getting old and that’s just a money pit haha
@@DakotaStone what tune? Have been looking for a good tune for mine just got it in March with 135k also
Off topic, but I’m digging that retro gaming corner. New headlights make all the difference, did they hold up over big bumps?
Hahaha! Im a nerd for retro games. They did! I’ve had zero issues since filming with the headlights. Work perfect!
Me too bro! Good, I’m glad they held up
hello, I also have these depot replica headlights and I have a problem with them, except for the low beam, the one with the magnifying glass does not look good at all, even if I adjusted them in the service, I have halogen h7? what can you recommend to make it visible, the long beam can be seen bn
My dad has this its called a Bora here😂. I want to revive it.
Standard tire size on the jetta is a 205/55/16 which would equate to a 225/40 on an 18". I'm wondering if you went for an oversized tire (225/45) on purpose? The car looks cool but kinda bulky at the same time
Just was having so much trouble with fitment I went with what I saw another person ran in a rush. Honestly like I said in the vid, I would size down on my next set of tires! But for now we will run the meaty daily set up 💪🏻
Super bad ass jetta. ? Can you give me information on how I can get a set of headlights. I have a 05 vw jetta gli mk4 I'm fixing it up. Thanks. Victor Piedras negras coah Mexico
Glad you like it man! Here is the set of headlights I got: bit.ly/47jKh5s
Thanks for watching!
Wait wait wait… he had health reasons and sold his Jetta and you his rims off it? Or you just ordered the same ones? Either way awesome story
I just bought the same ones that he had, not his personal ones. Was super cool to be able to connect with someone across the world!
What size tires you go with?
