Howdy Jeepers, I DO NOT USE TELEGRAM! If you get a request from an account that looks like me... it's not. Report those scumbags.

Jeeping Jason that was a great 10day trip. Thanks for providing the link. What are your thoughts on if using the hardtop might have been better for head room for camping ⛺️

I remember that sometimes in Germany, a CJ's headlamps were too bright for oncoming drivers. That height was j-u-s-t low enough to pass TÜV. That's why you see so many European semi-trucks with their headlamps in their bumpers. Our Army and Air Force used to have their American lights removed and relocated to the bumper area to make them legal. So lovely to see Pinto playing in your garage. Mahalo for bringing back memories and sharing Pinto with us! 👍

@silverbulletJKU Год назад

I immediately hopped on the ANZO tail lights from JC whitney back when I first saw your video. Safe to say i’m voming on 3 years strong with them grom washington state for 1 year and now San Diego for 2. I will admit that for the price the JW’s are at, I surely wouldve chosen them. Luckily to this day they’re still going strong and have luckily bit been problematic. I also went for the grab bars as well and they’re still solid as a rock. Thank you for the content and solid mod recommendations!

@AutoEdits Год назад

Yeah, I worry about that sometimes when going from one product to another... luckily the Anzo's were really good lights... I just like the looks of the JW a bit better is all. My old Anzos are on my brother in laws Jeep!

@Stuka87 Год назад

An interesting note on the headlights. My '17 JK has factory LEDs, it was the very first year they were offered. And they have NO cutoff. They are a bit dimmer up top, but they routinely blind people. Thankfully I dont drive at night often. I got my GraBars because of you :) They are more costly, but they are solid steel (not tubing) and have never bent. I ended up going with a Warn Evo, which I got for $660 new (had a nice discount). Its not as nice as the Xeon, but I feel it should last me a long time. And, thanks for the gloves! They really are nice!

@AutoEdits Год назад

Interesting to hear about the factory LEDs. The Evo is an awesome unit and I'm stoked you like the gloves!

@AntmanMaze Год назад

Jason, About 4 years ago, I installed the JW Speaker Tails, Heads, Turns and Fogs on my 2015 JKU all because of the video you did on the tail lights. Love them and greatly appreciate the review you did on them back in the day. I also installed the Grabar handles after watching your review as well as a few others. Another great product suggestion! And I also installed the Metal Cloak Overlander fenders. Watching your videos on that install were super helpful when I installed mine.

Those are great, high quality choices. They aren't all that expensive either (considering Jeep parts as a whole). I have the Grabars and a Warn 9.5XP-S on my TJ and couldn't recommend them more. I have a different set of high quality taillights though as JW doesn't have TJ-compatible lights.
