Functional JEEP INTERIOR UPGRADES

- Опубликовано: 14 сен 2018
- Over the years I have made several changes to my Jeeps interior. In this video I share with you the current upgrades I have installed, what modification I am no longer using and some future plans. We'll discuss navigation, communication, upholstery, compressors, refrigerators, safety gear and mores.

Thanks
Nice work
Between being a ham, a Corpsman, and a jeep enthusiast, I am sold.
I love watching videos of people showing off their interiors, it gets me all excited. Then I remember I have a soft top and have to leave my jeep in a parking lot from 2:30pm to 12am at least 5 nights a week.
I really appreciate your channel. No nonsense, straightforward and you’re not afraid to try something and then change when you find something better. 👍🏻
This whole video was just a rock solid vid. I truly loved it. It explained all the rock solid interior designs. The rock solid leather seats and all. Your just a rock solid man. I just gave a rock solid like and comment.
I came back to re-watch this video. It's always fun to see someone's rig evolving!
Hi Brad, I got hit by a drunk driver at 100+ mph while traveling 55 and it flipped my Jeep over and caught on fire. I was stuck upside down and locked into me seat by my seatbelt. I was hanging upside down for over 20 minutes fearing I was going to be burned alive or hit by another motorist. I now have three seat belt cutters in every vehicle I own, in fact I think it should be required as part as your yearly inspection. Thank god the first responder had a sear belt cutter.
I bought the same seatbelt cutter after watching the rollover video and keep mine in the same place as yours. I also have one attached to my first aid kit. Another cool video! Thanks.
So glad you mentioned your first aid kit. I see guys wheeling all the time with no bandages, no tourniquets or any other supplies.
I ordered the Vector bar.. can't wait to install it this coming week! I have numerous RAM mounts for it already. S-POD was also the first accessory I installed on my JK
37 annual HUMP-N-BUMP 2018 first weekend in November. Logandale, NV the mini Moab, just a hour north east of Las Vegas.
I'll have to check the dates, have a few things going on in November. Thanks!
Hey Brad and Regina really like the content of your channel. Very informative and straight to the point of the equipment pros and cons. Honest refreshing. Thank you for your service to our country.🗽🪖🇺🇸
I use my patches for bucket list trails so when you look and see that trail name you have a nice flash back to good times. Great video awesome rig.
Great video...just bought my first Jeep. Bare bones, gently used. Looking to add over time. This was a great overview and allowed me to start a list. Thank you....
Just bought the new 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Willys EcoDiesel in Sarge Green. Came to this video looking for great ideas and wasn't disappointed. Cant wait to get some of these installed!
Glad to see a fellow ham operator just purchased our 2nd jeep 1st one was a cj5 1975 model got a gladiator 500 miles on it ..1st time viewer...kg4avh..
Enjoyed your video Brad. I just wanted to let you know you need to do 1 thing that might save your life. IF you ever Roll your Jeep. You will want to either move your Seatbelt cutter OR Velcro it to the Console Lid or inside it. Reason; IF you roll it and you go to open it up...where is the knife going to when the console is opened-up? Out of the Console and on the roof or the door....And, You would be lucky to ever catch it when that happen's. Just an Tip is all.
Excellent suggestion and a change I'll be making soon. Thank you!
Bartact makes a seatbelt wrap that has two straps on it. Great place to mount a seat belt cutter. In a roll over, it’s on your chest. If you can reach the seatbelt that needs cut, you can reach the tool.
Thank You. I don't know why, but I never thought of that. LOL. Great advice.
check this one out also on amazon, it attaches to your visor and comes with the case: StatGear SuperVizor XT Auto Escape Tool
Ex-Law Enforcement good advice .. i keep a knife to the back side head of my seat .. easy to reach and so need full at all time
I’m so glad I found this video, I’ve always wondered what crossbar you used
ARB Dual Compressor: 37" from 15psi to 30psi, all 4 wheels in 7min. I couldn't be happier with that. Thanks for for your walk around Brad. Can't imagine to commute in my Jeep every day for 2h. There are for sure sure cars out there to do that task more in style. Hope to meet you one day out there on So Cal trails. Want to promote your barber too? You are always super sleek! ;-)
Nice Rigg Brad, now I know what I am missing on my Rubicon. Love the flip down table on the tailgate. thankyou for this video!
I'm happy you got your ham license, I recently bought a 2018 2 door JK Wrangler and you're giving me great ideas for modifications. I have a Yaesu FTM-300D to install.
This channel inspired me to pick up a new JLU Rubicon. Been setting up for overlanding and as my dedicated astronomy bug-out vehicle. Thanks for the awesome content really enjoying the videos.
Hey Brad, I've been fumbling around with electronics during my off road adventures for years, and I have a box full of broken, shaky, and purchased but uninstalled device holders to show for it. But thanks to several yoo-toobers and especially thanks to you I just ordered a whole new "system" for Christmas. I got the JK Vector Off road cross bar, and some 67 designs mounts for the phone and some ram mount stuff and 67 designs components to mount my Samsung Tab A to the Cross bar. Like you I find all the current GPS based equipment, even the most expensive units designed for off road, lacking features and functionality and being incredibly behind the curve technologically speaking. Thanks for sharing your wisdom! Keep up the rockin video's. Hope to catch you in the Eastern Sierra sometime some!
Just bought my first Jeep Wrangler unlimited. I could tell you're former military, just with all the communication in your jeep. It all reminded me of my days with Fire Rescue, Especially the rocker switches overhead.
Hey bud, your videos are my favorite informative Jeeping vids. Thanks!
Just got my first wrangler ❤️Love this ty!
Great info here! I hadn't thought of a seatbelt cutter. Although I keep a knife close by, a seatbelt cutter in a designated spot is a great idea!
I'm also running the Vector across my dash; love that thing. One thing I did for power to accessories (e.g. phone, GPS, iPad, etc) is to run a USB hub up to the dash. This allows me to run short USB cables just for power as needed.
I’m trying to find that crossbar for my jku, but I’m only finding JL’s. Could you help me out?
Thanks for the encouragement to get a ham license.. been on my to-do list for awhile
Thank you for all the great information. I really enjoy watching your videos. Very professional and full of great content.
Thanks for the detailed video on your interior. You have many things that I would want on my off road vehicle if I plan to be off in the wilderness on my own.
Thanks brother. My wife now thinks I have less gadgets after watching what you have. Great content. Thanks for all you do.
I’ll second you on the seatbelt cutter. As a former Army Flight Medic these little tools come in handy when you have to extract someone from their vehicle.
Great video, thanks for the walk through!!! Just started using Gaia as well and really like it too, can map out your rides and share too, as well as being reliable. Nice set up, I think my favorite mod of your build is the CO2....I haven’t pulled the trigger on that one yet. Thanks again for sharing!!
Nice video, you mention how the inserts into the top cut down on the heat and cold, but bot the noise. The only way to cut down on the noise is to insulate the interior sheet metal, floors, doors (skins and interior supports) Also wheel wells on the outside... Makes a huge difference.
Great detail great camera angles. Enjoying the evolution
great looking set up brad. Its fun to watch the progression of someone else's gear as it makes me think i'm not so crazy after all haha! I really like that 67 designs mount system and need to get that in our Jeep. I agree that the iPad mini is a perfect set up and i also use Gaia GPS and it works fantastic!
4 yr old video and is so helpful for my first JK , thank you.
I wish I could afford your upgrades. Now this is how you feel safe driving your rig anywhere in the country. keep them coming.
Hey Brad, I'm picking my JL tomorrow night, my first Jeep coming from a Tacoma PreRunner. YOU have literally inspired me to get in to the Jeep life, so thank you for all your videos. I'm also in North County San Diego, so maybe I'll meet you someday on the trails!
Congrats on the new Jeep, I hope you have many amazing adventure with it!
I really enjoy your videos. You always have the best points and information.
Heheeh rewatching this video 3 years after... You've "got it almost dialed in" 🤣. We can never stop tinkering with our jeeps.
I'm amazed at all the stuff you have in your jeep.
You need the Vgate obd Bluetooth adapter and the OBD JSCAN app. I love it. Was able to reprogram the BCM to teach it, the customer replaced the headlamps assembly with built-in LEDs. Blinker would stop before reprogramming.
Well done video. So glad you covered the seatbelt segment and first aid. So many offroad channels never cover these subjects.
Thank you! They are simple, small safety items everyone should carry!
Overlanders are like boy scouts with an addiction to gadgets who love to go glamping. Fucken love it.
Another great video and I’m pleased to support your channel.
Beautiful work done I love it
In all my jeeps I keep a Res-Q Me it has a seatbelt cutter and it has a spring pin to shatter glass - very cheap and should be in every car! Great video man I just got my JKUR and I'm starting my overland build some I'm rewatching all your videos :)
I'm new to the Trail Recon family (recent subscriber) and wanted to say I'm really enjoying your videos!
Thanks Brad! Nice setup!
By far one of the BEST videos out there to show how customizable Jeeps are. Out of curiosity, what year is your Jeep? Keep it up 🙌🏻
Tbh your jeep's interior is superb,enjoy man 👌👍
I really admire your interior upgrade and as well as your exterior upgrade love to see your video.
Thanks Brad!! So helpful, and the Amazon link is awesome, thanks!!
Love your content. Extremely useful and complete !
FYI you don’t need an iPad with GSM , you use your phone as a hotspot and link your iPad to your phone .
I just ordered my vector mounting bar tonight! I’m so excited to install it. However I could not order the 67 mount because it’s out of stock so I have to wait. I guess it’s a really popular mount. I just subbed and I love this channel I have found so many mods I’m gonna do in my Jeep aside from the normal lift tires and regear. I love my Jeep so much and now I can make it even better!
Welcome to the channel and congrats on the new upgrades!
Nice set-up you have there! After 13 years with my TJ, I'm still taking stuff out and putting other stuff in! I moved my HAM head unit to where you have your spod module. It's easier for me to glance up at the frequency and other info on the display, as opposed to at the lower part of the center-dash area. I also just re-installed a rear mini-trunk enclosure that secures to the interior across the rear wheel wells, and against the tailgate. I removed it about ten years ago and now I need it again. lol
So you have just confirmed that I'll probably always be changing things up! LOL.
Looks Great! I really need to reupholster my seats
Super amazing and happy video with lots of helpful tips and saved couple items to my amazon list thank you
Great video - Just found your series and had to laugh as most of interior mods were what I have just installed in my 2018 JKU recon. I though i was original, nothing like finding a youtube video explaining how to create your "creation" after the fact. I use the RAM mount claws on the vector bar to move things around easier, and ran SOOW 14-2 cable on the outlet of my inverter to supply 12V and 120v to back of my jeep under the paneling. My small inverter (800w non true sine) is mounted below the glove box and is routed through the foam filled hole with 2 GA 40 strand cable with 120 amp waterproof breaker at battery (30 bucks). My cheaper version of s pod (rugged ridge) I cut the plugs, waterproofed splices using SOOW 14-2 cords (made better harness) to control pillar lights , aux 12v and 120 to front and back for a nice clean pro set up. the cable was cheaper (.92 cents/foot) than going to autozone and buying 1 of 2 stands of 14 gauge generic wire and saved me from making a harness - plus with a little soapy water, I was able to pull 4 cables through the foam filled holes (which I filled with "Great Stuff fireblock and grommeted ) and around the lip easily - and it is waterproof, and is rated for 600v. I would recommend you relocate that inverter right away under your seat in case it rains or area gets wet for a small one you mount under the metal bracket below the glove box - and have a nice access to run it through panels or into dash easily and neatly plus if you have big hands and fat fingers - it is an easy install for a novice . I really enjoy your series and look forward to your other videos in the future.
A Fire extinguisher is number 1 ! My jeep caught on fire and if it wasnt for extinguishers things would have been a lot worse!
Hey Brad... Great VLog again... I really always look forward to Your next one... Have bought things You have Recommended, and Tested ( I really Love My KC Lights)... I too do some of the things You recommend... One, try and Never Wheel alone... When doing so I always Wheel with the Guy (Like You) that has all the things needed for Safe Off Roading... Really Helps keep the Costs down! 😆
So great to hear, glad you are finding the information valuable. Thank you!
Very practical guy! Everything has a purpose
About the fridg loose in the back. I suggest that you anchor it to the back for safety reason and all the loose stuff that you put in the back like using sort of cam net.
This video helped me. Thanks for posting.
Awesome video very detail oriented and informative.
Liked and subscribed!
Hello Brad, was wondering if you had a video that showed the install of the rear power outlets. I need to add power to back of jeep and liked what you did. Thanks for the videos keep up the good work.
I got a ball joint press. It's really, really nice.
Much appreciated brother Brad, [NAVY Corpsman] very informative as always. Keep it going....
Technically, you need a HAM license to use that Baofeng... It too can link to relay stations. We use them here in Fl. when out ridin' I had to get a license...which like you stated...is really easy to get... Those Baofengs are great little radios... Love the lay out you got up front and great recommendations on items to have with you. You gave me some ideas to do for my YJ... Great Vid!!!
My friend has a jk and he installed the rear seat recline kit. Made a much more comfortable to ride in the back seat.
very informative videos and tips. Looks of great ideas I would not have thought of.
Enjoyed it thanks. I would like details on the recovery bag. Really enjoyed the comm section.
I'm getting my first Jeep Wrangler in a few months. So excited to join the Wrangler family :)
The table is Way nice! Great video.
Great Video I put hothead head liner kit in mine wit the sound dreading kit what a difference in my Jeep
Great video again and great info on your accessories!
Thanks for the video. Very informative and gave me some great ideas.
loved the videos making my surgeries recoveries easier, one more shoulder replacement and I will be back on the road, good page on amazon been checking it out
I hope your recovery is going well and thanks for doing a little TrailRecon binge watching! Thanks!
Great video as usual.. "rock solid".. lol I do have my shelf unit from Frontrunner.. dont think I can live without it.lolol
Ahhh .....accessories ! the life blood of dealerships and aftermarket. The need to have or the have the need of that is the question !? But like the saying goes , better to have and not need than to need and not have lol 😆 . Brad luv your set up in your rig ....It’s like the Swiss Army knife of jeeps ....so cool!
Great video Brad. Just an FYI, Yaesu makes ham radios that broadcasts APRS. APRS is a system that can be used to track your location (go to aprs.fi), as well as send messages. And its... free.
Very informative, thank you. Do you have a video describing what is in your tool kit? That would be very helpful. Thanks again.
One of the best add ons well Two is the windshield mounted handles great for getting in and out and rock solid.LOL.but another must is interior lights I chose a simple single LED mounted to the plastic covering on top of the windshield. One LED behind each sun visor, one wire run along the bar under the padding. Take off the freedom top run the wire to the center interior light behind you and pull one bulb out and attacth to the removed bulbs Positive connection. lights will come on stock when you open door, turn switch on on directional stock, or push light lens switch on over head light.
The whole front of cab is now illuminated .and no wires were cut only three holes were drilled and all in plastic one for each LED and one to pass the positive wire into the over head light behind the lens.see my install pics on the JK-forum in the electrical and sound systems topic.Jim 73' KB1PFL
Great video, Brad. Thanks for the pointer to JeepUniq, I'm ordering one for my Yaesu FTM-400 and FT70.
Thanks! The JeepUniq mounts are very function and affordable.
Great tour. I'm looking forward to your Spot X review. I have the older version and think it is a great product that is lacking some functionality.
Nice interior upgrades Brad. I recently switched over to CO2 as well for speed and ease but kept my ARB dual setup under the passenger’s seat as a backup. You know the old saying, two is one and one is none. I went with 2 ten pound tanks as my wife and I routinely go on week long trips and this will allow enough for those long trips.
Mike
2 is always better than 1! Thanks!
That was great Brad. Thank you
Hey Brad just a thought that may help you with the decision of putting that slider in. The first time you almost roll, completely roll. Come across an obstacle that you have to hit because you either didn't see it or came up to fast on it. That cooler is gonna smash around and break a window or hit a passenger or the cooler just gets destroyed. With the slider you wont have to strap and unstrap every time you need to open it. It will be in one place and will be one less thing to worry about in the event of a mishap. Hope this helps.
I definitely agree with the seats, I just bought a 2014 jku and it’s my first real vehicle. Im used to riding in my moms trd offroad premium 4runner and the seats in the jeep are so much worse. I just can’t get comfy sitting in them and for some reason they hurt my lower back
Great vid. I'd love to see a detailed breakdown of the toolbag.
Thank! I think I can do that.
Did you find the time yet? Thanks for sharing!
Hey - would love to see that as well ... great content all-around too!
Would love to see a list of your tool bag also.. enjoyable, informative video
If you're were looking into sound deadening you can line the interior of the doors and the floor with dyno matt. I'm sure you know about this but just giving a heads up.
I like ur vids really good info and u have things I would love to put on my jk 2014 keep it up 🤙🏼
Gotta say Brad I'm really digging the Gaia maps. Best part is it works on my existing IPAD Mini. Prior to Gaia, the IPAD has been indespensible for pilot use, as I load charts from a program called foreflight onto it. Now I can utlize it to acomplish two different things.
I think I'll be using Gaia for a long time to come after this last trip...really happy with it!
Great video 👍 love the set up in side.
Just discovered Trail Recon. Love the Content.
Welcome to the channel and thank you!
Something I recommend is attaching a seatbelt cutter onto the base of your seatbelt itself. Then whoever you need it it’ll be within arms reach and always in the same spot even if you roll over
Hi Brad, long time Jeeper and SAR guy here. Loved the video and appreciate your efforts and hard work. Please accept my comments from experience and personal impressions. My intent is from a place of respect.
In the event of a collision your setup concerns me. One of the things you want to be sure to think about is flying interior "debris" (your audience needs to be aware). The dash crossbar strikes me as a point of potential injury. I love the idea but....A-Pillars are "fairly" strong but when compromised anything attached will be at the mercy of force..think chrome moly and welded, think Baja racing :) Manufactures (Jeep ) go to great extremes to reduce potential occupant injury. No-one expects the worst scenarios, but they can and do happen. Any accessories above the chest/torso, in the event of a collision or mutliple rollover can compromise or exacerbate the inability of airbags to function properly (interference/puncture) and severely injure occupants. My advice is keep the driver compartment as clean and uncluttered as possible. All of my electronic accessories are either secured via A-Pillar mounted, under dash, or under seat. I am curious about the Ipad and why the need to be mounted externally when there SO many in dash units on the market that interface with smaller form factor smart devices, GPS included. Regarding your SPOT device, I have carried one for years. I hunt, fish and "wheel" in very remote areas of Washington state. Please consider this an "On-person" device. The dash is not a place for this device, particularly trying to find it in panic mode and full of Adrenalin. I would also recommend "carry out insurance" in the event air transport is needed. Seat belt cutters....first aid kit, each door, secure to your headliners, familiarize your riders and occupants they need to be EASY reach. Wheel safe my friend love your Jeep and your hard work. Most Sincerely...
