Jeeps with the backup camera you can go to controls on your radio while driving down the road and hit backup camera and it will come on for about ten seconds so if your pulling something or wanting to change lanes you can see back there momentarily
pre pandemic i was a jeep salesman, and I thought i knew everything about these cars but wow you actually found a few features i hadn't seen. The fuse thing with the back outlet is wild! The bluetooth speaker with the gladiator is actually not standard though, its an add on.
There’s a beverage cooler in the back of your jeep pop the cover and you will see it that’s the reason you have a cup Holder on the door, it has a drain plug so when Ice melt, cool feature!!
I used to have a saying. If you dont want people to know something (about their vehicle) put it in the owners manual. Works every time. Thats a great looking Sport👍 A stick! Cool! Name another vehicle people pay $60k for, take it home and take it apart. Ask a new pick up owner to take the doors off his new vehicle...lol. A Wrangler owner, Hell yeah! lol And the top. Good review sir👍👍😎🇺🇸
I just bought a 2024. It barely came with a manual at all. Just a 3/16” pamphlet really. Hardly contains any info at all. Have to go online to get the real one and it’s hard reading that on a phone. I’d much rather have the actual book. Plus, what if you need it and you don’t have a signal?
This is probably the best Jeep hidden features video I've seen, its actually features most people don't know about. I get so tired of seeing these hidden features youtube vids, that's the same old crap you see everywhere else, and everyone already knew.
Nice video. Love the Jeep. I think I’d want the 2 Door version, but not sure. I would like the added towing capability of the Unlimited, but not the size. 😊 those features you pointed out are great. The Aux switches, nice. The 12V connector at the back, the ability to change its function, nice also.
We've been really impressed with the JL and JT design. Jeep really did a good job putting well thought out adds like the cup holder you showed. Oh and a very capable off road vehicle straight from the show room floor.
I didn’t know about the air down/up alert feature for awhile. You set a specific air pressure on the screen let air out or put in and the horn blows when the set pressure is reached. So freaking cool!
Great to know. Esc and trac control “off” will also save your rear brakes, because during winter these systems overuse the brakes to control spin and skids. A better system would cut off power but Jeep uses the brakes. So my rear brakes were worn twice as fast as the front... which is the opposite as usual with regular trucks without electronic gadgets. Cheers mate.
95k for a set of brake pads is frickin MARVELOUS. They don't last forever. Expecting them to last forever is like expecting your jeep to run forever because you put gas in it once. It's called "routine" maintenance because it's "routine".
Robbie, there’s a second set of leads for the Aux Switches under the glove box. The leads are for the four switches plus direct battery power and ignition power leads. Another super hidden feature is a clothes hanger holder built into the rear roll bar. I found it when I needed to bring a change of clothes and didn’t know where to hang them.
Not sure if it’s on every model but my JLU Rubicon has a speaker bar above the rear passenger seat. There’s an indentation or pocket above the speakers where a hanger can hook onto. You can’t see it so you’ll need to feel for it with your hands.
@@VYPUR360 I just went out to check the passenger side and it has a pocket as well. I also discovered that you can hang a whole wardrobe between the speakers on the middle of the roll bar! Try it out with a hanger.
FYI since you have the aux switches, there’s also ANOTHER set of wires in your passenger footwell you can use with them PLUS there’s an extra two wires - 1 of them is accessory power (you should use it for your dash cam) and another is a battery direct connection.
How you were at the back tailgate playing out the cupholder for the soda pop the mat that lifts up for that oddly shaped container there is a drain plug in the bottom of it and the reason why it’s there is because it’s in the built-in cooler you can look it up with ice and put your soda pops in there as well ice melts it’ll drain the more you know
There’s a feature if you leave the accessory on with the door open for a certain amount of time you have to put the fob on the start button to start it. So that if you left it in accessory by accident and went inside someone can’t get in, start it and leave. Kinda cool. Another cool feature is if you turn the music down, the jeeps loud af and you can hear stuff rattle.. pretty cool 😂 2019 Unlimited Rubicon
Awesome thanks! The ESC is good to know for having fun on the beaches. The ability to lock the jeep and not be able to turn it on with the doors are off is comforting since I always seem to work in sketch places (downtown hospitals) but want to take off the top during the summer! Please keep posting if you discover more! And I have a gladiator, now I need to check for the speaker!!
I'd like to add that unplugging that door is really handy too when the door is on and you get out while it's running and you don't get that pesky three horn honk and can still lock the doors with the remote!.
Great video Robbie, also, if you don't want that annoying stop/start, disconnect one of the plunger switches, driverside front under the hood and the system thinks the hood is partially open defeating the stop/start.
I heard this could cause your alarm feature not to work? I've just developed the habit every time I climb into the cab I hit the the button to disengage it.
@@Safeless247 there are two spring buttons under your hood, and no it doesn't defeat the alarm, I made sure and checked it. As long as only one of those are disconnected and laid to the side.
Nice video. I did not know about the rear cigarette lighter and being able to switch the power. Let me blow your mind a little more about the 4 aux wires......there are also the same wires under the glove box / foot panel fuse box, so you don't have to wire something all the way to the engine bay. Like a CB radio for example. There is also 2 extra wires in the bundle not in the engine bay. The Orange/pink is switched to the Ignition and Red/White is direct to batter for constant power. Also, check out the TazerJL for some cool extra features like being able to turn off Auto Start/Stop and traction control and remember the setting so you dont have to do it each time you get in the Jeep. Lots of other features to numerous to mention. Would make a good video during your build.
Unfortunately in the jeep the manual transmission is a mistake. I love manual transmissions and have had one in some way over the past 30 years.. But, the JL manual transmission has a recall with no fix for the clutches catching fire. Progressive insurance won't insure them due to that.. It's really not good, i'd be amazed if he's still on his first clutch.
Thanks. I am one to read the manual ... So many people don't, they just post in a forum "How do I ..." I had an FJ Cruiser and so many people were amazed I could open my back glass.
BT speaker is a $300 option Yes momentary is for air horn push button style If you have any car and the robber takes your keys he will take your car doors or not. Cause he has your keys. I did learn about the 12v fuse thing today so thank you for that!!! Oh aux switches are a $400 option
The Aux switches are an option but besides the 4 wires under the hood there are 6 wires in the passenger side foot well. the 4 Aux switches plus a ignition switched wire and a 12 volt constant on.
Kind of like the cupholder "feature", the sun visor has a paper clip at the point where the visor connects to the jeep. Not the swingarm. So on each visor, towards the center of the jeep. Door - swing arm - visor - clip - rear view mirror - clip - visor - swing arm - door
With the auxiliary switches… the momentary option would also be a useful setting if you’ve got the wench controls wired in. Momentarily running the cable in or out. It’s not something that you’d want to run as a toggle setting.
For those folks that have the Auto Start/Stop feature (read: annoying California compliant feature), you can disconnect the outboard plunger switch on the front driver's side (under hood) and that disables the Auto Start/Stop system. That way, you don't have to remember to turn it off every time.
Also... Aux 1 and 2 are rated a 40 amp and Aux 3 and 4 are rated at 15 amp. Also... if your key fob battery is dead, you can push the ignition button with the narrow part of the key fob with the key folded in and it will start. FYI
An informative video…Thanks…Many years ago, Jeep used to provide a video with the purchase of a TJ, within which, it discussed many of the features, including soft-top removal and installation, and specific ‘Jeep recommended’ driving techniques for various conditions…I’m guessing that many of the items you’ve mentioned, are in fact covered in the manual, but as you’ve pointed out…Many owners, are unlikely to ever read…
As far as the top removal and whatnot, the mopar youtube channel has all of those videos for the JL/JT now. Just ordered a JL and found that the other day. :)
@@Tethmes I think that they could do a better job in promoting the availability of materials like that, but these days, with a whole generation of people that have grown up with and had cell phones their whole lives, along with instant access to virtually any kind of information, anytime from anywhere in the world, the expectation is that people know well enough to go and look for it… (Unfortunately, I’m now from an older generation, but doing my best, as an old dog, to learn new tricks… I wasn’t aware of the Mopar RUclips channel, but I’ll have to see what that’s all about.) Congratulations on the purchase of your new Jeep!
I never plan on owning a Jeep but you best bet I’m gonna watch/like/comment on every one of these wrangler videos until I see some MPC goodies on it 😂😂
i got a hidden feature you might not know about.. kinda.. there is a secret compartment in the center console. open the lid and look under it. the plastic panel can pop out , giving you a nice place to stash emergency cash or house keys..
You left out several other hidden features - but I’ll let you know one thing you were a little short on - those 4 wires under your hood for the 4 switches - there is also the same 4 wires inside the cab under the glove box just in case you want to wire something inside the cab.
there's SIX wires under the glove box. 4 are wired to the switches, the 5th is direct to ignition ( its on my compressor) and the 6th is direct to battery.
@@ScientistPrepper the six cables are great. There’s 4 under the bonnet paired with 4 in the footwell … you can choose either a wire inside or out but not both, but you get 2 more in the footwell that are not linked to the six- but one is Acc and the other DC. Really clever of jeep 👍
Enjoy that you cut to the point quickly. I have seen wayyy too many videos where the person likes to make the video longer for some reason on the simplest things. I spend a lot of time FF through the video. Not here though! Love it.
Wait until you buy the Superchips programmer. You're really going to be bummed out Jeep hides features from you. With superchips you can permanently disable Auto Stop/start. You can activate Brake Hold so if your at a light on a hill. You can lower the tire PSI threshold on the TPMS so when you air down you don't get the warning light. You can choose what Daytime running lights to use Fender/fog light/headlight. Lots more stuff too.
On my JLUR when radio is on and u drive--> press "MUTE" , it will mute radio, then press "MUTE" again-->radio turns on and......view from back up camera comes on as live video on the radio screen. Great rear view mirror with great blind spot assist(camera has very wide angle)
Need to know how to save and set the last setting/memory for the auto start/stop feature. Basically have the feature off the next time you turn on the vehicle.
Mad props. This is the ONLY video that says Hidden features where I actually didn't know them all. I knew about the AUX switches coz like you said that's not really hidden. But I didn't know about any of the others. Every time I watch these kind of videos always the same.. I already knew all the stuff and it's not even really esoteric at all. lol, but this video. Great stuff. Really cool.
Actually turning off traction control can help you a ton with burnouts and donuts but actually in an off-road case or in the case of the keep when you turn it off it basically switches the sensors to a much less sensitive state so they let you actually use your sidewall and find optimal traction in places that traction isn’t easily found
1) Whenever we get a snow storm I love to turn off the traction and fishtail, but I couldn't never figure out why it stability control still kicked in. Now I know and can't wait for the next blustery day. Thank you. 2) Love that you say Pop! Soda is with ice cream
My personal favorite is the cleaning spout in the floorboards there is a plug you can pull and then you just clean it out with water and it just goes right out the jeep
Careful of that. Unless you’ve removed all the flooring down to the painted metal, the moisture sits in between the layers and can mildew’s r even cause rust and corrosion where paint is scratched or on seat hardware. That’s just not a cleaning technique I would use as my regular method.
I think it's intention is to drain water if you have the top off or freedom tops off and it rains. My older jeep I had to vacuum water out of hte floorboards many times.
I bought a new 2020 Sport S Gladiator and I've got twenty four thousand miles and no problem except windshield wiper fluid container unit gaskets needs replaced and the parts are in .I ordered a Rubicon exactly like my sport S only difference the one I ordered is a Rubicon,I absolutely love my jeep and I always wanted a Rubicon but probably will never go off roading but winter time in southern Indiana can get pretty hairy where I live I'm in the country with the rolling hills and your not going anywhere without four wheel drive especially the roads I live on.The roads don't get plowed where I live your on your own.But winter time I had zero problems and the snow was pretty dang deep,There were a lot of four wheel drive vehicles stuck or having a hard time getting up the hills My Jeep I don't think it slipped a wheel and I was trying to get the thing sliding around just playing ,That thing is absolutely remarkable in the snow and icy roads.Jeep I love them
Nice job on your Hidden Gems! Just bought a 2022 Rubicon Gladiator and I didn’t get a lot of insight from the Dealer. But the salesman was kind young and he did tell me this was their first 2022 Gladiator. They can’t keep these on the lot, all the Jeeps sell so fast the salesmen really don’t have to know anything. I have a 2017 Wrangler 4 door Sport and plan to start taking him Off Road this summer. Happy Jeeping!
You have a cooler in the back with a drain plug as well. It’s not very insulated so in the summer I’ve melts fast but still cool. It’s beneath the floor of the trunk, accessible through lift lid incorporated into the floor. 🫠
Hey, my '17 JK had a really cool feature i saw in a few other Wranglers! The pins that held the rollers in the rocker arms were about as hard as cast aluminum, so they crapped the bed at 52k! And again at 54k after they all got replaced! Happy as a clam in my '15 4 banger Taco now!
Great video you have a new subscriber. I really enjoyed the video showing the little stuff that I never knew. I have had 4 wranglers and all of them being standards. I'll definitely enjoyed you also having one that's a real Jeep lover right there🤘🏾 . PS, I see there's a beach right behind you, me and my family been thinking about taking a trip somewhere where there's a nice beautiful beach like the one behind you. It's a long drive from Dallas where you located at? what beaches is that 🤔
The number two thing with no doors, they changed that, I can lock my 2018 JL and I can start it whenever. I can leave it locked the hole time and it will start. But, I can not turn Stability Control off. I can turn Traction Control off, not Stability Control for some reason.
What will stop 90% of would be car thieves is that 3rd pedal. I leave my doors off, and leave it unlocked.. Could leave the keys in it.. Hell i can start it, most of these younger "joy riders" have no clue how to drive a stick.. In the States i actually have cheaper insurance because of the manual trans.. lol One of the cool features i just found was the ability to disable the hill hold on the manual,. Oh joy of joys that was a great hidden Easter egg.. Disabled that crap immediately.. made a huge difference in the driving experience.
I learned about the lock button thing recently. If you double click your lock button on some keys it turns off the RFID in the key so the car doesn't recognize it
There are drain holes unde the back mats as well as the front I had to use them when i flooded my jeep with a 5 gallon jug of water. Also if you lock the jeep with no doors the only way to unlock the back is with the key fob. The unlock switches are on tbe doors. A d if you use the key fob to lock the doors if you reach in and unlock the doors the alarm will go off when you open the doors.
I have not read all the comments there's so many. I don't know if somebody's mentioned this but the trunk turns into a cooler, and you have your plug so you can drain the ice once it melts.
Maybe I'm old! But your camera skills is really good for making people sick! Really why? Sudden movement, sudden zoom in and out, to prove what? 😀 Film Shooting 101...
The Bluetooth speaker is an option not all glads have, mine does not. But mine does have the seat shaking bass middle behind the back seat, also an option.
Stability control is federally mandated on all new US cars. Also, for jeep doors off, put a 2 way toggle in under the dash to immobilize it and know that it can't be stolen. Simple switch in the ignition circuit. It's how the OGs do it.
You are he first of the younger generation that I have seen that drives a standard shift / stick shift vehicle!!
nope its a an automatic
@@vernieashby2984Not an automatic. 6-speed manual.
Jeeps with the backup camera you can go to controls on your radio while driving down the road and hit backup camera and it will come on for about ten seconds so if your pulling something or wanting to change lanes you can see back there momentarily

My ´01 Civic Aerodeck also has an incredible hidden feature.
It overheats on the highway.
Lol
My 03 civic likes to squeak while I am driving lol
if i go over 130 on the highway in my pathfinder (KM/H) it likes to shake itself to death.
🤣🤣🤣
@@Zaaf2003 Damn must be nice my jeep wj could only make it to around 50 before it violently shook me into slowing down.
There’s a beverage cooler in the back of your jeep pop the cover and you will see it that’s the reason you have a cup Holder on the door, it has a drain plug so when Ice melt, cool feature!!
The best part of this video was that you have a manual transmission. Great to see a young guy like yourself driving it old-school! Great video!!!
I had a 2015 6 spd and a 2018 6spd. My new JT is auto, BUT it can tow 6500 lbs. (BTW I'm not old school, Just OLD)
Robbie. So informative, not afraid of showing his funny side, and just a friendly and amazing guy. Keep the work up man!
This is the first video I've ever seen of yours. I really appreciate your video style. Well done, no nonsense. Keep up the good work.

The tail gate latch on the body is a bottle opener. Matched the “cup holder”
One to add is that there is a notch in the hood latch that is designed to hold your winch control cable.
Tape off the cup holder and spray some vinyl on it or put rubberized grip tape so your drink dont slide.
Robbie, there’s a second set of leads for the Aux Switches under the glove box. The leads are for the four switches plus direct battery power and ignition power leads. Another super hidden feature is a clothes hanger holder built into the rear roll bar. I found it when I needed to bring a change of clothes and didn’t know where to hang them.

FYI the aux switches and power outlet in back are part of the tow package which is a option.
Very cool...nice to see you have the manual transmission too. Not often you find young adults that can even drive a manual transmission vehicle.

BT speaker is a $300 option
Yes momentary is for air horn push button style
If you have any car and the robber takes your keys he will take your car doors or not. Cause he has your keys.

Does this cause the CEL to come on?
So does pressing the Auto Start/Stop switch on the dashboard, or within the settings menu.
I feel like this is a potentially cool comment and I don’t know what you’re saying. Haha. Auto start stop? What’s that?

i got a hidden feature you might not know about.. kinda.. there is a secret compartment in the center console. open the lid and look under it. the plastic panel can pop out , giving you a nice place to stash emergency cash or house keys..
Pretty obvious lol
Or drugs/guns if you’re cool & tough (of which, I am neither).

🤫🤫
I think it's actually meant to store your title or registration and any other paperwork you watn to keep around but don't want to ruin or have taken.
There is a cooler in the back storage in the ground. Remove the cover and there is a drain when you want to remove the ice.
Can't wait till the crawling videos 🤙
You left out several other hidden features - but I’ll let you know one thing you were a little short on - those 4 wires under your hood for the 4 switches - there is also the same 4 wires inside the cab under the glove box just in case you want to wire something inside the cab.
Thank you, that would work well for my dash cam.
there's SIX wires under the glove box. 4 are wired to the switches, the 5th is direct to ignition ( its on my compressor) and the 6th is direct to battery.
@@patrickmolloy6994 Thank you. I thought the Aux 1-4 was for the trailer tow package somehow. But I haven't taken the jeep yet so I didn't know.
@@ScientistPrepper the six cables are great. There’s 4 under the bonnet paired with 4 in the footwell … you can choose either a wire inside or out but not both, but you get 2 more in the footwell that are not linked to the six- but one is Acc and the other DC. Really clever of jeep 👍
@@patrickmolloy6994 and that I didn’t know. Thanks
FYI the aux switches are an option and not standard but in my opinion they should be standard. Thanks for the rear plug trick though.
Enjoy that you cut to the point quickly. I have seen wayyy too many videos where the person likes to make the video longer for some reason on the simplest things. I spend a lot of time FF through the video. Not here though! Love it.
Wait until you buy the Superchips programmer. You're really going to be bummed out Jeep hides features from you. With superchips you can permanently disable Auto Stop/start. You can activate Brake Hold so if your at a light on a hill. You can lower the tire PSI threshold on the TPMS so when you air down you don't get the warning light. You can choose what Daytime running lights to use Fender/fog light/headlight. Lots more stuff too.
The switches functions are awesome!
On my JLUR when radio is on and u drive--> press "MUTE" , it will mute radio, then press "MUTE" again-->radio turns on and......view from back up camera comes on as live video on the radio screen. Great rear view mirror with great blind spot assist(camera has very wide angle)
Damn I’ve had my gladiator for over a year and I didn’t know you could turn off esc thanks for the info!
Hey no problem🤘🏼
Me too!!
okay so the wheels made it look so much better
Aux switches only come with the Tow package. Not there by default, but many dealers have that as a pre-built option.
In the back there are holes to put all your door, roof and windshield bolts.
Did you know if you get the aux switches from the factory they also have 4 wires on the Inside of the cab under the passenger dash by the floorboard?
I wonder what all can be hooked up to the aux switches, like can I hook up a PA speaker with an Amp and a module to play mp3 ring tones as my horn 🤔
Need to know how to save and set the last setting/memory for the auto start/stop feature. Basically have the feature off the next time you turn on the vehicle.
There is a fuse you can mess with... not sure on the details but look it up
You’ll need a tazer for that
thats cool on the fuse box- i had no idea- just bought a jeep a few days ago too
Nice to see another manual transmission out there!
The momentary switch is great for a winch!
Nice to see someone who bought a real jeep = manual trans!
Just got a 2021 Rubicon with the 6-speed manual. Love it, but lot of people don't know you lose about 30% of the towing capacity in a manual.
That ESC feature came in clutch ! 💯
Mad props. This is the ONLY video that says Hidden features where I actually didn't know them all. I knew about the AUX switches coz like you said that's not really hidden. But I didn't know about any of the others. Every time I watch these kind of videos always the same.. I already knew all the stuff and it's not even really esoteric at all. lol, but this video. Great stuff. Really cool.
Actually turning off traction control can help you a ton with burnouts and donuts but actually in an off-road case or in the case of the keep when you turn it off it basically switches the sensors to a much less sensitive state so they let you actually use your sidewall and find optimal traction in places that traction isn’t easily found
The aux switches are standard on rubis, and maybe less popular trims like Moab or Willys, but not on Saharas which are very popular.
1) Whenever we get a snow storm I love to turn off the traction and fishtail, but I couldn't never figure out why it stability control still kicked in. Now I know and can't wait for the next blustery day. Thank you.
2) Love that you say Pop! Soda is with ice cream
Thanks the jeep dealership couldn't give me an answer. You the man!
“Beer can, oop, pop can” 🤣🤣🤣
My personal favorite is the cleaning spout in the floorboards there is a plug you can pull and then you just clean it out with water and it just goes right out the jeep
Careful of that. Unless you’ve removed all the flooring down to the painted metal, the moisture sits in between the layers and can mildew’s r even cause rust and corrosion where paint is scratched or on seat hardware. That’s just not a cleaning technique I would use as my regular method.
I think it's intention is to drain water if you have the top off or freedom tops off and it rains. My older jeep I had to vacuum water out of hte floorboards many times.
My 97 TJ had floor plugs.
I bought a new 2020 Sport S Gladiator and I've got twenty four thousand miles and no problem except windshield wiper fluid container unit gaskets needs replaced and the parts are in .I ordered a Rubicon exactly like my sport S only difference the one I ordered is a Rubicon,I absolutely love my jeep and I always wanted a Rubicon but probably will never go off roading but winter time in southern Indiana can get pretty hairy where I live I'm in the country with the rolling hills and your not going anywhere without four wheel drive especially the roads I live on.The roads don't get plowed where I live your on your own.But winter time I had zero problems and the snow was pretty dang deep,There were a lot of four wheel drive vehicles stuck or having a hard time getting up the hills My Jeep I don't think it slipped a wheel and I was trying to get the thing sliding around just playing ,That thing is absolutely remarkable in the snow and icy roads.Jeep I love them
Good to know, I have the sport S and didn't grow up in the snow so I have been a little worried about taking a contract in the north during winter
Nice job on your Hidden Gems! Just bought a 2022 Rubicon Gladiator and I didn’t get a lot of insight from the Dealer. But the salesman was kind young and he did tell me this was their first 2022 Gladiator. They can’t keep these on the lot, all the Jeeps sell so fast the salesmen really don’t have to know anything. I have a 2017 Wrangler 4 door Sport and plan to start taking him Off Road this summer. Happy Jeeping!
Thanks for the ESC tip. Went out in the snow and it ruined my fun and thought, “there must be a way to shut that off”
You have a cooler in the back with a drain plug as well. It’s not very insulated so in the summer I’ve melts fast but still cool. It’s beneath the floor of the trunk, accessible through lift lid incorporated into the floor. 🫠
Hey great tips just got a rubicon and realize that it more features than my sport wrangler now I or go look for exact stuff thx
Hey, my '17 JK had a really cool feature i saw in a few other Wranglers! The pins that held the rollers in the rocker arms were about as hard as cast aluminum, so they crapped the bed at 52k! And again at 54k after they all got replaced!
Happy as a clam in my '15 4 banger Taco now!
Lol
My 2015 jk has the same feature
My 15 made it 80k before replacing. Started about 60
Great video you have a new subscriber. I really enjoyed the video showing the little stuff that I never knew. I have had 4 wranglers and all of them being standards. I'll definitely enjoyed you also having one that's a real Jeep lover right there🤘🏾 .
PS, I see there's a beach right behind you, me and my family been thinking about taking a trip somewhere where there's a nice beautiful beach like the one behind you. It's a long drive from Dallas where you located at? what beaches is that 🤔
There are actually 6 wires in that bundle under the hood and dash… 4 for the AUX switches, 1 constant on and 1 powered in with the ignition switch…
Have not seen it mentioned but the back seats on a Gladiator have key locks to lock the seat in the upright position
The number two thing with no doors, they changed that, I can lock my 2018 JL and I can start it whenever. I can leave it locked the hole time and it will start.
But, I can not turn Stability Control off. I can turn Traction Control off, not Stability Control for some reason.
What will stop 90% of would be car thieves is that 3rd pedal. I leave my doors off, and leave it unlocked.. Could leave the keys in it.. Hell i can start it, most of these younger "joy riders" have no clue how to drive a stick.. In the States i actually have cheaper insurance because of the manual trans.. lol
One of the cool features i just found was the ability to disable the hill hold on the manual,. Oh joy of joys that was a great hidden Easter egg.. Disabled that crap immediately.. made a huge difference in the driving experience.
I learned about the lock button thing recently. If you double click your lock button on some keys it turns off the RFID in the key so the car doesn't recognize it
Jeep absolutely nailed the JL.
Except for the corrosion problem !!!!!
Thanks for all the hidden features and I didn't know about the last one. My parents have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler unlimited Sahara and I drove it twice.
Fold down table?! Where do you get one of those? New jeep guy here.
with the AUX, look under the passenger side panel, you will find more AUX wiring.
so detail oriented, i love it
There are drain holes unde the back mats as well as the front I had to use them when i flooded my jeep with a 5 gallon jug of water. Also if you lock the jeep with no doors the only way to unlock the back is with the key fob. The unlock switches are on tbe doors. A d if you use the key fob to lock the doors if you reach in and unlock the doors the alarm will go off when you open the doors.
Dude, you have a manual. That’s the greatest anti-theft there is!
You dont think us old guys steal vehicles 😂
I have not read all the comments there's so many. I don't know if somebody's mentioned this but the trunk turns into a cooler, and you have your plug so you can drain the ice once it melts.
Maybe I'm old! But your camera skills is really good for making people sick!
Really why? Sudden movement, sudden zoom in and out, to prove what? 😀
Film Shooting 101...
He has turrets
My jeeps stability control saved my life.
Cool! Some I knew…. But will have hubby watch he’s got the Gladiator PU…
The Bluetooth speaker is an option not all glads have, mine does not. But mine does have the seat shaking bass middle behind the back seat, also an option.
The first fuse clip is awesome !!!!! Thank you 🙏 …
Helpful I found most of this when I played with my jeep the first week
Stability control is federally mandated on all new US cars. Also, for jeep doors off, put a 2 way toggle in under the dash to immobilize it and know that it can't be stolen. Simple switch in the ignition circuit. It's how the OGs do it.
