Thanks for watching! What color would you go with if you did this mod?
CJ Off-Road, I would go with the color of the Jeep.
I think matching with the color would be great. That is if you have a Punk'n, Mojito, Bikini, or Hella Yella. But, if you have a darker color Jeep, I would say to go with whatever accent color you are going to use as a theme.
I ordered 2 cans of Firecracker Red from the dealer today, they're 5oz cans. Do ya think that'll be enough to paint what you did? Also, was it necessary to remove the steering wheel to paint that trim? What tools were needed for that? - Thank you
@@jpmcnown1 Yes that should be enough, if you just want to paint the dash you will not need to remove the steering wheel. But if you want to paint the wheel you will need a 10mm socket to pull off two bolts, one on each side under a plastic cover, then a larger socket i'm forgetting the size the pull the column bolt. The wheel will come apart with various smaller torx bits and small sockets then.
@@kallidor I agree, the brighter colors really pop!
Great tips! I would like some details on how to get the steering wheel trim off though.
Can you please do a diy for the steering trim
Steering trim video please! 🙏🏻
I agree, a video would be great! Feel like I’m going to break it
All right, so I did this the other day. A few notes:
· The directions are great! I could follow along every step of the way.
· They're right: All this stuff cost me a little less than $50.
· I'll point out that you'll want an extension on your socket wrench to get to those two bolts. I had one, and I guess most people do, but just be forewarned.
· And most importantly: If you are using the small Mopar paint-matched can, buy two or even three. I was able to get about a coat and a half of ocean blue down before my can ran out. So I ended up with a so-so paint job of what I'd call "Spider-Man blue". Oh well. At least the vents and chrome trim are a bright red now. I'm digging that.
Overall, though, I'm fairly pleased and this video got me through the process fairly painlessly. Thanks guys!
Send us some photos @cjoffroad on Instagram!
The paint codes are on the door near the VIN number on the newer models. This is the best videos I’ve seen in this. Thanks!
Love the video, just hoping you can post a diy for the steering wheel.
Thanks
Nice! I'm gonna do this in Ocean blue
Can't wait to see that, i love the ocean blue!
If you pop the small panel off the right side of the grab handle, 2 10mm bolts hold the grab bar onto the dash. One on each side.
I love the look! I’m definitely gonna match the sting gray now.
Thanks for watching! Tag us on Instagram @CJoffroad if you paint it!
Thank you for posting! I’ve been looking for a video demonstrating how to do this but like you said, I failed to find any. Can’t wait to do this myself!
Thanks for watching!
Looks awesome! Would love to see a video to do the center console , door handles ! I'm not crazy about chrome and want it out of the interior everywhere . Big thanks to you guys,I won one of the $100 dollor gift cards you were giving away and I put it towards a set of the Oracle LED V Series!! can't wait for them to get in
Thanks for the ideas! I think we'll start pulling a few more pieces off here and see what we can do to color match them! Hope you like the headlights!
Great video and good looking mod. I would like to point out that if your jeep has the secondary battery, you need to disconnect that as well. Disconnecting the top battery is not enough, the system will still have power.
Thank you for the video! I decided to go with a bronze gold plasti dip, really like the look, your video helped tremendously!! 👊🏻
Really makes the interior stand out that much more. Already was planning on painting my tie rod and drag link since I’m swapping out the stock components to steersmarts.
Awesome step by step, wish y’all showed the steering wheel trim piece take out.
That is such a great idea. I have been writing down a slew of ideas for when my 23 High Velocity Rubi arrives. Heading to Newark De for the stereo install, and then having that dash paint matched also.
This turned out awesome. As soon as jeep decides I can have my diesel JT I’ll be matching the hydro blue and I think I’ll do bronze trim rings to match the wheels
Awesome!!!!
the "zip tie" is a retainer strap, so when the airbag deploys that trim is restrained from becoming a projectile.
Any chance you could show how you remove the steering wheel trim?
Thank you Matt, really needed to see this!
Looks good...I have the Punk'n color....but I really liked the orange you used too...
We debated going with the Punk'n! Love the color
Great job I’ll be doing this come spring time to my JL
Awesome.
I'm glad I found your page amazing work .. can you make a video on hoe to take off the steering wheel part off
Wow this is a real head turner! Great great video
Thank You
Thanks for watching!
Great instruction. Can't wait to mod my jeep! Thanks.
I def gotta do this! I think i’ll do the red to match the outside of my jeep
The Firecracker Red would look really clean inside!
Where did you get that power screwdriver with the light on it?
Look at the dewalt gyro screwdriver. One of the best little tools I’ve ever bought.
This is a Craftsman Gyro screwdriver, available online and in some stores.
Wow that looks fantastic great job.
Thanks for the kind words!
This is great. I just got a white Gladiator and want to go with a Stormtrooper theme and though white dash accents would be great. If I can muster up the courage to do this myself, I’ll definitely follow this video. Thanks!
Looks good, I would recommend pulling the grab handle off
Can you do a video on how to remove the steering wheel bezel and replace it.
Looks fairly easy. Good video.
Good stuff! Luke Combs doppelgänger. It took me a few years to figure that out 😆
Damn that looks nice, trying to do my interior green and purple like the joker
that will be cool.
Looks amazing!
I haven't decided yet. Maybe olive sparkle?
Nice step by step video. Looks great even tho I think the steering wheel is overkill
I didnt see any mention of when the adhesion promoter was needed or used, was it needed? I always thought it was a substitute for sanding hard to reach areas.
Before the primer.
If you can afford a newer JEEP, I think you can afford new plastic panels. If you wanna paint it, go ahead, just buy some used ones. Keep the original just in case you wanna sell the JEEP. My preference would be to wrap them. Easy to take off and easier to change colors.
Painted JL panels in Mojito are over $1500 no thanks ill do this myself.
The only issue with wrapping are the tight edges and the overall shape of the piece, we decided to paint our factory panels due to the fact that new ones are nearly 300 dollars. If in the event we ever sell the vehicle and the buyer wants gray panels we would just buy them then.
great video 😍😍
but if i need buy dashboard from factory do you know what is the name this dashboard? and how much the price? please?
Wow .. ...... im soo happy thanx for this video .
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Nice! Cheaper that way but long day hrs hrs ... or simple order online. That have all colours ready. Just ship it to you. Than put on. You dont have to take everything off. You know?
Very true!
Very nice work, fantastic explanation of the process!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video. I now have a hydroblue dash in my gladiator! Do you have a video on taking the chrome off of the steering wheel? That looked great in your video. That’s my next project.
Good video. I wanted to do the silver to a gloss black. And why do people want the Rubicon dash? I personally believe that refuse maroon color is ugly
Hi, thanks for the video. You don't have to unplug ESD battery terminal?? 2 batteries in JL.
I didnt, no air bag boom lol just be careful with it
Looks good.
I just became a jeep owner. I am trying to find the Crystal Granite Jeep with blue accents or blue toned before I start upgrading mine. Most are red, bergundy or maroon
How did you do your steering wheel? Got a video for that or is it just clip ons?
Looks dope! Nice work.
Thanks!!!
Need to know if this video will work for the ecodiesal as well?
Great video, really looks good.
We love it! Thanks for watching
Adhesion promoter?
Not sure about the steering wheel trim.. but the rest looks good.
Thanks for the kind words!
Any links on how to remove the steering wheel and paint?
Can you do this with the leather dash panels?
sadly no
Awesome mod Matt thank you
Not a problem! Thanks for watching!
Where did you get that accessory mount ball that replaces the hex bolt on the front grab handle above the dash!?!?
not going to lie im really impressed by your screw driver. Where can I pick one of those up?
Thanks man. I'm wanting to do this or plastic wrap.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Looks awesome
Thanks for watching!
Looks awesome! Thanks for the tips! I will modify my Rubicon! 👍 By the way, the painted parts on your steering wheel, do they come off easily? Thanks!
Glad to hear you liked the video! And yes the steering wheel comes off very easily just a few smaller torx bits and couple wiring connectors!
CJ Off-Road I met the plastic parts covering the steering wheel controls. Thanks!
Do you have a video or steps on how to remove the steering wheel pieces?
@@CJBroncoF150 can you post a video showing this please
@CJ Off-Road. Will this same process work on a 4dr Jeep JKU?
ruclips.net/video/rwHqyVv2Hns/видео.html here is a link we did on a JK
Can you remove the air vent silver rings without removing the entire dash?
Not that I know of
Nope
Do I need to remove the entire panels if I only want to paint the chrome bezels? Or can the bezels be removed independently ? TIA!
Come do mines omg !! I love it
How did you get the steering wheel trim off? That’s what I’m wanting to do on my Gladiator and wasn’t sure how it came off.
The battery terminals are still hot because you didn't disconnect the second battery.
Yeah.... we noticed that haha
CJ Off-Road any advise on how to disconnect the 2nd battery?
@@CJBroncoF150 do you have instructions on how to access/disconnect the second battery?
Awesome video
Thanks!
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thanks!!!!
Did you do any sanding between coats of paint or clear?
Nope. Just thoroughly sand before everything. Longest part of the process, but worth the time.
nice job on it
Thanks, we appreciate it!
13:50 "Is he...oh...okay..."
Bad ass looking!!!!
How did you take off the part to the steering wheel?
Just started pulling the pieces away, the only tools you'll need are a 10 mm socket and some smaller torx bits!
You also need a 24 inch socket for the main center piece! If you need help, let me know! I tried this and broke a few small pieces to figure it all out! Glad to help if you still need it
Which primer did you use?
We used an automotive primer!
You should not be removing the passenger bezel, as the passenger airbag is attached and you risk the airbag hooks becoming detached from the bezel chute windows. You also risk not reinstalling it correctly. It goes without saying that you should also not be removing the airbag. And finally, you should not be painting, or applying anything to the passenger bezel, as the airbag deploys through the bezel and any modification to the bezel can affect the airbag performance.
Why would you paint them instead of wrapping them?
That's a lot of work for a minor change. Do you think it was worth the effort? Certainly cheaper than buying the Rubicon colored dash pieces. Oh, and it looks great, btw. lol
for the next one paint your speaker covers the outside of them orange and leave the grills black.
That's a good idea, i might pull them out here and take a look at them!
I wish my Rubicon was close to this stock grey without that weird red and shiny crome all over the place.
Can you do this to my Jeep?
I'll pay you, I'm too lazy to attempt this lol
You guys got a shop?
Did it. Love it. Wish you had reversed video 🤪🤣
awesome
Thanks for watching!
Why?
That's a flat piece of panel, vinyl wrapping would be more reasonable, quick n easy and reversible
Hey Matt I was wondering if you could do a video of on the "JEEP WRANGLER (JL) AXEL LOCKER MOPAR PERFORMANCE " Part Number (77072413) wiring installment. I have yet to found a video of this item online on instruction to install, I believe it would be a great video to make for those who didn't get the a Jeep rubicon or Sahara with the front and rear axel locker package. I hope you get to read this and considerate thank you in advance.
yooo that would be awesome great comment.
We actually have a few axle installs in the works, we plan on re-gearing our 2-door and potentially installing new axles in the Hemi, make sure you stay tuned!
Beautiful job... but there's no way I'd trust myself to get it right and then ruin my OEM parts :-)
👍👍👍
That is way too many clips for me to trust myself not to break during the removal. Ill just stick with my gray lol
If you break any clips or lose them they are very cheap to buy extras .
Honestly we only had a few fall off, none of them actually broke which was impressive!
Yeah I’m not messing with the airbag!
I bet that ziptie holds that piece on incase the airbags deploy that piece doesn't slap someone in the face.
Why would you do this? Why not buy a small piece of vehicle wrap and wrap it?
We thought it would be more fun to paint it!
@@CJBroncoF150 Right on!!!
Nice little project, but personally these would look way better if colored with leather. The paint just looks a bit childish and cheap.
blk wldve been a whole lot better
Love ya but ugh
Wrangle is trash.
Bronco is better.
I’m a jl wrangler owner. Respects but looks ugly
Why does nobody remove the passenger grab handle to get at the small airbag cover screws?!?!
