My wife. She's no longer in my truck.😀 But seriously, I would greatly appreciate it if people would stop using non-DOT headlights. So, thank you for touching on that subject.

I used to have a Wife 1.0 system, too. And it was great, but kinda plain and boring in the long run. So I upgraded to Wife 2.0 and all hell broke loose ! Turns out that Wife 1.0 is not compatible with Wife 2.0, so I had to get rid of the old one Unfortunately, Wife 2.0 was a terrible cook, and I had to invest in the Twin Sister upgrade … ohh boy ! Don't get me wrong, the Twin system was REALLY good looking, and while one was a bad cook, the other was a GREAT cook, and the first one was amazing at cleaning, I thought I had this in the bag ! That's when the Jealousy Bug on Wife 2.0 kicked in. They said all I needed was a software upgrade on Wife 2.0, and the silicone upgrade looked great, so I bought it! But then the Twin Sister caught the bug instead ! So I bought the silicone upgrade for the Twin Sister as well. Again all hell broke loose ! The company's lawyer has now stripped me of Wife 2.0 and Twin Sister upgrade for "improper use", and claims I have to pay HALF of everything I own in repairs ! Man, I should have stuck to Wife 1.0 ! 😢

Over the few years you have been upgrading your jeep and giving the reviews of the products, you have saved me hundreds of $$$$$$$$. Thanks very much for this video.

Wow, this video brings back memories. Some "upgrades" I honestly don't know what I was thinking in the first place,. Most are like your's....I out grew them or "upgraded" to the next level. One thing I'm learning is to just do the right thing first instead of getting there in steps. GREAT channel.

Thanks for the honesty, i really respect you for pointing out the mods that you no longer use, the "mod" that i just got rid of was my JKU Rubicon on 40s" with a winch and armor, and now i've got a JT Gladiator Rubicon that i'm starting to mod out.

Great video. I like keeping my jeep trim & fit too so I have thought long and hard about each of the mods that are on it. Sometimes less is more. I still enjoy my pedal commander, but I always switch it off and go back to the stock programming when I'm offroad.

can't wait to see the DIY storage solution! Its been something I've been struggling with too

I also upgraded to the dual ARB, although the single did a great job I wanted to cut my time in half and found the opportunity to upgrade so I did and really noticed the difference!

Great video Brad. I have done that with a few components myself like originally I went with a mid-width front bumper. On 37’s now I found it rubbed so I went to a LOD Signature Series Shorty Front bumper. I also added 1.5” spacers to my 2.5” Lift Springs and Bilstein Shocks. but now am running Synergy 4.5” Springs and a 1” spacer in front and Falcon 2.1 Sport shocks. so my father in law got 3.5” Lift components and Bilstein shocks from us for Xmas to get rid of his teraflex 2.5” budget boost haha he loves it and can now follow us a lot more places. It’s definitely an evolutionary process as we have grown our trails have gotten a lot tougher so our needs are constantly changing. Killer idea for a video we have loved watching you over the years and constantly take inspiration from your videos to try and grow and make our KZread Channel better so thank you for doing so awesome teaching everyone so much.

I have a garage half full of fox Mustang parts, and now I'm starting to fill the other half with YJ parts.

I ran BF Goodrich for many years in the oilfield and decided to try tried Cooper, I was very disappointed with the wear patterns and overall on road durability but really liked the off road performance. I decided to try them again 2 years ago and have been rotating and balancing every 1000-1500 miles and they have performed great on both with minimal road noise and decent wear. I'll be getting my HAM this summer for back country communication but will keep a hard mounted CB specifically for highway travel. I use it to communicate with truckers to get travel/weather condition updates. It has been useful more times than I can count.

Very informative video, I like it!

We ares still so new to the Jeep Camping stuff, that I don't have a lot of stuff I have used that I no longer use. But i will second the GPS TRX system. One of the issues I have found with mine here in Oklahoma is you can be going along on some of these old logging roads and trails, and it shows you one coming up on the left or right, and it is not there. 1/4 mile away you will see it, but it is no longer on the GPS screen. So I don't use it much anymore, I figure it was actually too unreliable here for our needs especially if there was a true emergency, It don't know where you are half the time. Thanks for sharing what you have gone through and sharing it with us, it will help save me money. I appreciate you and I hope you have a blessed week. Dale

Looking forward to the diy storage system! 👍🏻

I just want to say that this was a genius video idea. Having a father with a Harley, I remember his garage being filled with pipes, seats, helmets, foot pegs, you name it. Everyone talks about all their favorite or least favorite new mods, but looking back and seeing/discussing what you've grown out of or ended up not using is, to me, incredibly helpful and interesting. Great great video. More Jeep folks should make videos on this subject.

I like the KC LED headlights too. Just wish they come out with a heated lens for us northern folks.

Another great informative video. Things that didn't work out: I bought some 7" LED Cube style lights with spots and wide-angle floods. Like your hood-mounted LED light bar there was too much hood glare and the wide-angle lights projected too much light back into the cab. Now I have a 4" cube with spots only. Simple and effective along with the 50" bar on the roof.

Thanks for this video! Appreciate the honesty and feedback on items you've changed your mind on. Very helpful with all the awesome gear that's out there.

You know what- I love all the jeep information and the down-to-earth, truthful experience sharing. But, the thing I like best is that you just seem like a solid guy and it is nice to have you around. So- thank you for sustaining such a great channel. I'd love to go out on a wheeling adventure with you and your crew.

You are too kind man, thank you very much. Would be great to see you out on the trail sometime.

I appreciate the minimalist, "its OK to not have all the stuff" vibe of this episode. So many of the videos I watch tend to make me want more stuff. The cool factor, the new factor...it all adds up to not enough money for gas. Its more about getting out there and collecting memories with friends and family. I own three, green,1999 XJ's at home and a fourth Red, 2001 out of state with my oldest son. Four Jeeps doesn't seem excessive. I also agree on the hood glare. I keep all my front facing lights on the front bumper. The higher angle of the roof mounting can be a benefit, but for now, the bumper keeps the hood very dark. My favorite treat is to take the Jeep to a proper vantage point to watch sunrises. This means I do a bunch of driving in the dark, just before dawn. Twilight can be tough on the eyes, so lots of light is a big help.

That single ARB Compressor would probably be a nice addition to your sons XJ. 😉

great video, glad to hear i'm not the only one who has to "upgrade" on the "upgrade"

Thanks for sharing this, Brad. I’ve been pretty meticulous about planning my build (a classic case of more time than parts money, LOL), so there isn’t much I’ve removed that wasn’t planned to be a temporary improvement. My recent addition of a set of painted Sahara flares is a good example. They’ll eventually yield to some flatties, but look so much better than grey plastic! I’m not surprised about your CB move, as I’ve noticed for some time Jeepers on the coasts leaning heavily on GMRS or HAM. In Texas, CB still rules the roost, but I’ve seriously contemplated adding a GMRS setup as well for the day I’m able to start taking some Jeep trips outside this area. What did surprise me - and is educational to boot - is your evolution on onboard air. I’m tempted to go with the single ARB, as I’m on 33s now, with 35s to come in a year or so. But, as pricey as it is, the twin is just so impressive. Again, thanks for sharing your experiences with us!

6:59 Brad, I have the same fuel door. It's loose too. But with a couple pieces of 1/2" double sided body tap it'll be solid as a rock.

Really enjoyed this flavor of presentation(much like the '5 things we Hate about our new jeep'!) the headline caught my eye, but subsequently following them (w/you, marco, & fabulous overlanders w/lite brite) has been a surprising jeep education for me. quick aside, it's always painful to watch a jeep crawling up then swapping rubber side & not rubber side in quick succession downhill with coolers, etc spewing like crazy, BUT!!! the mere thought of a rig like yours or marcos rolling is just UnThinkable!! Anyway, back on topic, my hat is off to someone like yourself that has & uses the wisdom to periodically stand back, evaluate what you've done, and act on the choice to part ways with an earlier aftermarket infatuation if it's not measuring up. i also gotta say, the look on britt's face when she tasted that streak marco cooked up, Totally Priceless!!

The mod I wish I would not have done would have to be my Rough Country 50" black series light bar. The bar itself has given me no problems and it is extremely bright, a FANTASTIC product and greatly enhanced the looks of Bertha. My biggest complaint is the wind noise while driving. Not only is it unbearable to drive down the highway without blaring my music, I have to yell just to talk to the people in my Jeep with me. The light bar is currently still on the Jeep but I plan on taking it off soon.

For the Fuel Lid, try some butyl rope from Second Skin Audio. You can pull it to make it thinner and put a small "bead" around the diameter. I kept a couple speaker crossovers in place with it in a door panel, and it stood up pretty well in New Mexico desert heat! And if you have some clips paired with the butyl rope, I don't think it'll go anywhere. Note, I don't know what it will do to paint in the long run... With that said, I love your videos! Great shots, high quality, just enough information and background on the trails. You truly do a great job.

I have a black poison spyder louvered hood panel so I don't get much glare from mine, unless it's raining. Not the ideal location for a primary light, but it does what I need it to do when my lights on the bumper aren't enough to see what's needed.

I bought some rubber floor mats in a set that were listed as being made specifically for my year and model. The front row floor mats were great. The reader floor mats were half the size they needed to be and weren’t even in the right shape. It was and still is the greatest waste of money I have ever spent

I run a CB simply for the fact that truckers are great entertainment and give useful information on road conditions and traffic. They don't use it much on the highway home but mine faintly picks up traffic from the main interstate about 13 miles away.

I added the molar tailgate reinforcement and tire relocation brackets to my JL. They will be coming off soon because I'm going to be ordering the LOD back bumper and carrier package. I should have one down that route day 1, but I got the steel bumper package and felt silly removing the stock steel bumper that I technically paid extra for.

Watched a couple video's now and noticed a little Americana and wanted to say thank you for your service Brother.

Those KC headlights look nice. I went with JW Speaker 8700 Evolution which are equally expensive but they are amazingly bright and have nice horizontal separation so I don’t blind oncoming traffic. My JK has 3” lift w/37” so I had to angle headlights downward a tad. High beams are like turning on the sun. Lol. I love them.

I may take another shot at building a second rear storage unit if the weight savings warrants the build.

Hey Brad.. nice video as always. Since I got my 15 JKU I've depended on videos like yours so that I can avoid buying things I dont need for my JK. I have my other truck an 08 Tahoe, and over the years I learned what works and doesnt and spent alot of money on things that didnt quite stand up to the hype. So tks for all your vids, great work, love TR. I'm also a ham and just am not putting a CB system in mine, but do carry a handheld when going out with guys that only carry CB. Keep up the great work TR.. Also I must say that I have had serious concerns over using CO2 in Tires. CO2 is highly reactive with moisture which builds up in tires with pressure changes. It then becomes acidic and apparently has a negative effect on rubber. When you switched over to CO2 I was intrigued with the speed of inflation, although CO2 is expensive in NYC. I also use the ARB dual compressor installed in my JK. Works great, I have a VIAIR system in my Tahoe with a tank. I would love to see TR do a video with technical data on the pros-cons of CO2 and whether or not it will affect or damage your tires.

Fuel door/cover option...I ended up plasti dipping (spraying) the fuel cap, blacking it out, and it looks amazing! I tried the Mopar door and it just seemed too bulky.

I agree with most of list. Obviously not the same for all. I personally like the solid mount C. B. and I did get the same Ham as you also. Similar views on air. I have the 15 lb. Tanks times 2. Also a backup compressor. Great share. Thanks.

Sometimes I wish I had gone with the 15lbs tanks!

Not a jeep, but I took the bumper mounted LED light bar off my Xterra. When it was first installed in 2012, there were not many people using them. It was either Rigid, BD, Totron, or Aurora...all decently expensive. People asked about the light bar and it functioned well for me. Now, I honestly don't even want to have one installed on my vehicle for a couple reasons: 1) They are sold so cheap that people install them just for looks/without wiring. 2) They really do have a bad reputation now. Too many idiots using them on road and as a replacement "headlight flasher/get off my tail" light. So, still looking for a better option. May go with a single row bar for the roof when the time comes, but that'll be tucked into the Gobi and out of sight.

I got a double din dash and put a single din radio on top and i put a single din cobra cb radio underneath it and it’s very clean. I also got a metal glove box with a radio mount so i got a ham radio and a single din mount adapter and installed it in the dash

I did something similar with my XJ’s headlights and got a $90 set on amazon that also weren’t dot approved, flickered, and blinded just about everyone diving a car less than 6 feet tall. I recently upgraded to Rigid industries trucklite headlights, which are about $350 on amazon, and I couldn’t be happier. Just go with high quality the first time.

We did the same thing on the XJ... sometimes you really get what you pay for.

One of my major upgrades on my TJ that I'm getting rid of is my rough country suspension lift. They're terrible and I'm replacing them with rancho 9000 XLs

I enjoyed your video it was step by step of what you had and what you upgraded. tapped on your video to watch you about your air compressor. I'm running 36 IROC off-road all terrain tires. I just put in a on board air tank system wasn't impressed it had a 2.0 gallon tank I ran it 120 PSI. lowered the air pressure in one of my tires, and before I knew it the air tank went from 120 PSI to 80 psi, I was told to do run to tanks. Like you said sometimes in your video it take some time to get used to.

Glad to hear you've got your ham license. From day one, I've only had a ham radio in my rig (currently have a 2m and HF), and have thought about adding a CB but honestly no one I go out on the trails with have either one. I usually have to remind my friends who are licensed to bring their handhelds since they don't have a mobile mounted. The biggest problem I've had is that I typically ride with the doors/windows off so the wind noise during commuting or getting to/leaving the trail is picked up a lot on my mic. Been thinking about what I want to do to resolve that. 73 N4DBV

I had a Nite Ize Steelie for my phone, re-purposed it for the CB mic when I noticed the battery life diminished due to the magnet. Went with an Anker equivalent but the constant heating and cooling in the interior of the Jeep caused the adhesive to fail numerous times, so I upgraded to a RAM Mount for both the CB mic and phone. I modified an old hitch mount bike rack for my spare, but since it didn't have any sort of anti-wobble system, it moved around too much. I've ditched too many LED pods due to quality and a lack of a good pattern. I've currently in the market to replace the ones on the Jeep for a better one, but I'm dealing with it for the time being. Homemade awning is getting replaced with an ARB here soon. Other than those, most everything else was either worn out from use and I decided on something better, or it was with my base camp setup.

Most of the stuff I don’t use in my jeep is pretty small... like you, I took my CB radio out, though I still have it and can put it back in when I go to Easter jeep safari or other events where a CB radio is desired/required. My buddies and I use mostly ham radios or short range walkie-talkies when we are out on the trail. I have an old CB antenna mount that came off when I replaced it with a larger highlift carrier that had a CB antenna mount on it. Most of the time my third row seat is up on the shelf in my garage, I don’t keep it in my jeep so I can utilize the storage space. If we are going somewhere with the whole family, I put it back in. Looks like many other people are trying to get your stuff you’re not using. If I can make a suggestion: maybe you could auction it off on eBay or something and have the proceeds go to charity... Excited to see what you are doing in the back of your jeep… I’m guessing Marco is going to help you build something? Looking forward to seeing what you choose!!

Great Info!

Try the Pedal Commander, love mine. Return to stock with push of a button. And I get 1.5 mpg better.

I appreciate the information all too often people just want to add on and build on their jeeps. No one ever really thinks about "it was a great idea at the time" however, after field use it just wasn't practical.

If you haven't pitched them yet, I'd mount those hood mount lights on the rear of your Jeep. If you're camping, extra lights behind you when backing up or setting up is always nice.

My thing that I took off was a roof top tent.....I drive a 95 Chevy k1500 and I wasn’t able to haul my atv in the bed with it on so I sold it then I bought a cot tent that folds out and I like it way better

I had some headlights similar to the ones you showed. I didn't like the light they put out. They looked cool and I was told they were legal. But part of me was freaking out and I just took them out and put in JW Speakers. No problems, had them for over a year now.

Yep. My CB is hidden behind the glove compartment but I stopped bringing the antenna. I use ham. I also have a TRX7 which I kinda regret. My JK Speaker headlights are also questionable, even though I've had them "professionally" aimed twice now and told they're fine. I get flashed on two lane roads all the time.

Have that same Gas cap - it fades out in about 1 season of Texas sun and does not respond well to "reblacker" products. Nice thing is, its a fast easy install and cheap part. Im on my 2nd one in 3 years. Not a bad product but don't expect it to hold up to heavy UVs for very long, its all good until you get the Jeep clean and the black no longer matches the fenders, since you don't have the stock plastic fenders and have a silver Jeep might not be an issue for you at all, love the vids!

For your headlights maybe all you needed was an upgrade to the wiring harness and a good set of relays. I always do that to my vehicles and it really makes lights brighter.

I need to do that in my garage soon!

Great video. Thanks !!!!

Awesome 👍

Thank you for being aware of blinding everyone else on the road with the primary headlights. Too many people convert to LED/HID with no consideration for others on the road. My dad has a bad astigmatism, and the super bright HID/LED non DOT (or questionably DOT-legal in the case of HID conversion bulbs) is extremely blinding. Need more light? That's why you have those 8 lights above the windshield. :)

I bought Some Genright 4" flat fenders Steel, had them painted to match my TJ and found that after a year or so they started rusting in the corners where the welds were. Took them off and got the aluminum fenders. exact same fenders just no rust aluminum. Left the aluminum and now I polish them.

Bought some extended rear sway bar end links at the same time I bought some quick disconnects for the front. When I got underneath the jeep, I realized that they are way too long and would cause a clearance problem. Now they are just sitting in the garage waiting until I add some more suspension lift to the jeep.

Like you I have a love-hate relationship with my Magellan. I purchased it around the same time as you did thinking this is going to be the future. Garmin has been reaching out asking what’s needed to make it more useful? We’ll see what they do. Currently I use it in my HD2500 as a speedometer. Great content as usual!
