Light Bar Install How To Starring Jeep Girl 

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.

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 only thing I would have changed is, I would have put heat shrink on those connections behind the a pillar mount.

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.

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!

for safety reasons she should be wearing a bikini. loose clothing could get snagged on things.

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

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.

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 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 agreed.

"The Jeeps a looker, but the view ain't bad!" LOL

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!

my kit came with longer bolts for the bar using factory bolts was not enough threads to hold them on

we all know why we clicked on this video lol

5:15 IM DONE I was laughing so hard when she agreed with the Diesel Hybrid V8

She did that and didnt even break a nail. LEVEL: MASTER... COMPLETE.

I need more Jeep girl and whatever she was installing

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.

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................

Pretty good video, I would liked to have seen what you did to the back of the light bar and the new switch.

a girl that can actually turn a rachet properly and not look like a 5 yr old doing it is awesome

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.

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 !

tape the wire to a straitened out coat hanger and push through the firewall grommet, easy, come on jeep girl.

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

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.

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.

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.

Wiring power by connecting ground first with switch on ? Recipe for disaster (injury,damage...etc.)

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.

how has the bar held up since install? have you had any electric issues?

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.

Mounting the light bar there is stupid because the light will shine on the hood and glare back into the vehicle and you won’t be able to see anything unless you point it way up

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.

Lights! Camera! Action! Replace the stock switch with a Red safety covered switch?

I think it’s awesome that you so much together and it looks great.

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!

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?

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.

WHY IS HE WINNING, she did the work,,,, she did a dern good job too !!!!!

My jeep is making a weird noise after installing this light bar, it sounds like a whirling fan whenever i accelerat, any tips?

Everybody talks about the noise that light bars make but I have two on my XJ and I have yet to hear this noise..?? And yes sir, the view ain’t bad!

hummers & jeeps are bad ass both american made.. i have a h3 my self

I love that Dashboard is playing in the background!!

I like the freedom crawlers decal

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.

Why in the hell would u put a hummer sticker on a jeep. Hummer impersonator

jeep girl I need light's put on my jeep LOL

Way to go girl. You did great.

That black wire is not a negative! THAT IS A GROUND IF YOU CONNECT THAT GROUND TO THE GROUND TERMINAL ON THE LIGHT BAR INSTEAD OF GROUNDING IT , IT WILL OVER HEAT THE BATTERY AND CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE ! OR EXPLODE!

thanks for the vid!!! got a off topic question, what brand are those Fender Flares? They look nice!

Wrong negative bolt. That one is a conical shape to tighten the cable to the battery. Hope you fixed this and used the stud next to that one. You just have to find a nut to fit cause Jeep was cheap and didn't give us one from the factory. Other than that great video girl! Keep on Jeepin.

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 knew you got it wrong but I was like....uuuummmmmm...no. Wait what? lol good thing u clarified lol

When hooking up 12v applications, always disconnect the battery negative, make your new connectioms, then reconnect the battery negative. be safe....

are there any problems with moisture between the brackets and the windshield posts? ie rusty mounting bolts etc.

Always take off your rings when working on or around battery’s!

nice Hummer Wrangler u got there lol

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.

@8:54, "It's a good thing I have small hands"...."Yea", he said. This video is full of innuendo.

Did a great job... Wait this was a install video? No...have to watch it again.

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!???

Great video.

how long and what size bolts did you use my oem bolts are too short

Where did you get your mount brackets

Where did you get that freedom crawlers decal i love that

I would replace the hummer for a jeep sticker instead. I love jeep...

Thanks for the video guys. I plan to do the same with mine soon.

Good vid but you really should invest in a small impact driver.

I tried to use stuff from another video to quiet the sound but it didnt work. Where did u get yours?

Thanks for the reply. The mounts I need are the one for a 2017 jku. Are theses the ones that will come?

Shes good, you sure are lucky to have a girl like her👌

Great video! Why does your Jeep say Hummer?

Welded the light bar

Can I ask what came with the light bar? The the harness and brackets come with it?

Hey jeep girl welcome to the big 4x4's family you need to master the tools girl but good job.

Clicked for the thumbnail, stayed for the installation.

Don't blame you one bit for getting a cheap light bar if they are stealing them like that looks good by the way 👍👍👍

Jeep Girl is more entertaining than the guy behind the camera...

What part do you drill it to under the hood?

you understand those fins are the heat sink right? you understand how a heatsink works?

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?

Why does you Jeep have a Hummer sticker? 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️

I am just curious.. Does it whistle like freight train at highway speeds even after said fix?

Did you happen to note in here which brackets you purchased for this install?

At 1:55 that bolt turns but wont come out any ideas??

nice jeep, how can I get the windshield decal.

nicely done and good info thanks

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!

That was helpful, thanks for sharing.

You made a nice video. Pretty informative

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 !:)

How muh did everything cost ? ball park.

the light bar looks amazing on the jeep! but it looks kinda hard to install it when jeep girl was doing it

Young Lady is just like my wife, Deanna! Love to see Women who do things with their husbands and boyfriends! Thanks!!

The jeeps the looker but the view ain't bad! Lol. U guys are cool. That's how a couple should be! Always have fun and have some interest in your partners hobbies!

Connect the hot wire before the ground...

Yeah you got a good view how about this way man. Nice video.

Why did you run the wire up the left side of the Jeep when the battery is on the other side? It was easier to run it up the passenger side!
