On my JL wrangler, one of my favorite Jeep mods is this overhead console.
But I haven't added anything to my Gladiator yet. I've been waiting for the CROW Molle Overhead Rack System to come out from Epic. We first saw this a few weeks ago at Overland Expo.
So when I got home, I called the ginger up and a day later, and I've got one here at the house and we are going to put it into the Demonator today. I will show you guys why this is better, what comes in the box, and how easy this is to install.

I saw this setup on some of the overland expo coverage and I have to say I'm considering upgrading from my JCR Off-road MOLLE panel to this.
Are we just gonna ignore the cute rabbits that sprinted across the drive??
lol
@6:20 no we're not
I went from "I don't want to drill, I'll go with the 3M ta-- Oh look cute bunnies!"
This MUST HAVE is definitely not because Epic just released this 🤔
I love it. They really took a lot of feedback from downsides of other panels and poured it all into this.
I was going to ask if it’s compatible with the Sunrider, but then noticed one of their purchase options specifically mentions the Sunrider!! Looks like a great product.
Did anybody catch the two rabbits running through the background?
Was wondering how long it would take to get a comment on that.
Casey always gets the best stuff!!!
Distraction bunnies, direct from Monty Python and the Ging..
Looks very professional.
I was going to ask if this worked with the power top and then looked at the site and it does lol. Guess I’m dropping 300 bucks
Waiting for mine to arrive in UAE
Wish they made one for JK
Great video. My crow will be in tomorrow.
Figured you wouldn't wait long to pick one up lol.
Very nice video I found it to be very informative and I neat tool.
Glad it was helpful!
Your content is fantastic!Do you accept sponsor products?
🥰
I love it, I will pick this up when I’m in BC next month
Awesome! Worth stopping in the shop for sure :) Order ahead though, there selling out.
@@Casey250 will do
Can you please share more info on your phone charger mount?
Ya. It's the quadlock charging base and ball mount connected to a 1in ball adapter for 67 designs and 67 designs arm and rail mount. Then I use a quadlock case on my phone. Run a usb cable up to it thru the dash or between window and dash to power it. Quarter turn to attach to the mount. And it wirelessly charges.
Great design. Great use of space. BUT you stated something in your opening that is the #1 reason why I shy away from these (and I'm not as tall as you.) and that was you stated that you hit your head. For me safety is #1 so there's no way I'm putting anything like that above my head that can slice me open in an accident or roll over even with the seatbelt on. Now I know someone will chime in and say "well you can hit your head on the bar over your left side, or the top of the door frame, etc... but the JL's have plastic over that roll bar and seemingly no sharp edges per say. My YJ and old TJ's have padding as most know. Another reason that I shy away from those overhead options is space. Look I've been in my YJ for 27 years and my JL for 4 years and I'm one who takes my top off frequently so blocking that space above with "stuff" is not my thing. But again, it is a great design and to many a great solution however I'd recommend newbies get used to their rigs first and figuring out what you really need vs want.
I agree with all of what you said. Few people seem to consider what could happen when things go wrong.
Safety 2nd!
There will be no more room for the Spiderweb shade once this is installed?
I'd be guessing, but i'd say likely ya.
Kraken!
Can't you flip the window forward and run the wire?
You could do that too.

JK owners?
Where do you get mounts for this?
If you take a look at the online manual there are compaanies and part numbers in it.
Hi Casey, would you please consider doing a dedicated video on how you installed your mobile 2-way radio into the JT (and maybe touch on how and where you mounted the body of the radio in the JL, for that matter). I have the same model Yaesu that you have in the JL and I intend to put the control head on my own molle panel similar to what you did in the EcoDiesel, but I'm having a devil of a time figuring out where to mount the main body of the radio. Please and thanks! Do you use the Resource Road channels on the BC back roads and logging roads or just stick to the ham or GMRS channels?
Goes under the steering wheel, remove the trim panel under, and fits right in there
@@Otownoverland Doesn't look like there's room. Did you screw the mounting brackets into something or just velcro the unit in or what? Would be extremely grateful for pictures if you have a link.
Sure. I'm going to get the updated yaesu for the JT. But essentially it's under my driver foot well on the left side zip tied to the aluminum piece were your left foot rests. I think behind the glove box might have more room. Going to investigate for the jt
@@Casey250 Strong suggestion: DON'T get the FTM-500. It's a huge downgrade in terms of features and the screen is much smaller. The FTM-400 is by far the best mobile radio ever invented for off-road use. Although it's discontinued it's well worth looking for one new-old-stock or gently used. Pry mine from my cold dead fingers. 44 years in ham radio and quite a while off-roading.
@@Casey250 I have an aftermarket dead pedal. Are you referring to the space above that, near where the CANbus connectors were initially before installing the Tazer, and behind the ODB-II port? Or somewhere else? With the FTM-400, for me at least, is ensuring I can easily get to the MicroSD card so I can change the programming as needed.

Would love to see epic expand that panel to the passenger and driver side, I believe American Adventure lab has a version like that. But might have to test it out for taller people :/
Ya I'd never want that above my head. I'm too tall.
Near the beginning of the video what is the JOBY thing on your overhead rake?
It's a tablet mount I used to hold the faceplate of my radio
@@Casey250ham or gmrs?
The Kraken!
What grade aluminum is it made of? I'd like to think its 6061 for how much it cost.
I mean, $600 for a piece of aluminum, two small pouches and a led light, is a bit excessive.
Yet another company that is failing to make products for JK's.
Wow but $450!
Standard "Overlander" markup for some cnc work and $20 worth of Aluminum
Stop with the lame titles… The bait click.. unsubscribe
and give up even more open air freedom?!
The Kraken. Best system ever!
Casey, do you use the QuadLock base and arm for your QL mount and case? or do you use I different arm and base for the QuadLock mount / case?
Quadlock charging base and ball adapter and case, and a 67 designs arm.
@@Casey250 You're the Best, Thank you! I will be making the drive to BC next summer. Brand new 2023 Sarge Green Gladiator. Coming from the other coast, NS. Brother lives in Kelowna. Looking forward to visiting Epic and spending way too much money! lol!
The Kraken!
Still on the fence about buying this and using it as a traction board for my JK. I want the bags and patches ;)
LOL!
How did you wire in the quad lock on your dash?
Same way as running the power to the CROW, but instead of going up the A pillar, go along the bottom of the wind shield and tuck the cable behind. You can also take the radio out, drill a hole in the dash where the rail mount is, and put the USB ports in the dash.
