Bartact Front Seat Cover Install (Side Air Bag Compatible)

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAGBTHysngs&w=640&h=360]

[ OVERCLOCK3D Jeeps | https://o3djeeps.com ]


This is the method for installing the Bartact (formerly TrekArmor) front JK seat covers. My covers happen to be side air bag compatible, because my seats have air bags. The process is exactly the same for non-airbag compatible Bartact seat covers - without the flap of course.

I find installation to be easy without using any aids such as tape or plastic bags. Feel free to use whatever method works best for you. The key is to rotate the seat as far forward as it will go to open the space between the bottom cushion and the seat back.

Tuscarora Trail - in 4x Speed

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2g6jLu5jVA&w=640&h=360]

[ OVERCLOCK3D Jeeps | https://o3djeeps.com ]


This was as pretty intense trail. We started in low light fog conditions, and ended in night fog conditions. There were some pretty decent off-camber sections. You can see me getting spotted over the crux (hardest) section after about 7:40 into the video. Then, at about the 14:00 mark, you can see where I am being guided and winched over that same section in reverse...only this time in complete darkness. Lights were actually less valuable because of the heavy fog, so I found that driving with my DRLs (which happen to be my front turn signal lamps) made for the best visibility.

Waterproof Fuse Relay Box (WFRB) Install and Review

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyqTt-KscvE&w=640&h=360]

[ OVERCLOCK3D Jeeps | https://o3djeeps.com ]


Pop quiz, hotshot. (Hopefully some of you will catch the "Speed" reference.) You have several lighting or other vehicle accessories that you need to get wired into your vehicle. You need fused power sources, and you need relays and switches. What do you do?

Well, you could install individual wiring harnesses and have a spaghetti-like mess of wires crawling off of your poor battery. You could also spend $400-$600 for a high end solution, such as an SPOD or Switch Pros setup. Or, if you're like me, you might just be happy with a lower priced, but well thought out system....such as can be found in the Waterproof Fuse Relay Box. What is it? Well, it's named fairly appropriately. ;-) According to the maker of this little gem, "Waterproof Fuse Relay Box is the best option to control your accessories and clean your messy vehicle wiring for a low affordable price!" I think I'd have to agree with that statement....

This is my installation and overview of the MOLLE Tailgate Storage Panel from http://justiceoffroad.com. I also took a little time showing you how to install rivnuts for those who might be new to that process.

From the website:

When searching for a storage solution for our Jeep Wrangler JKU, many of the options offered on today's market did not fit our needs. Many kits offer a Molle panel with a pre determined number of storage bags, priced over $200.00. Here at Justice Off Road we chose to select top quality products and to offer each item individually to allow you to custom design your tailgate storage solution.

Justice Off Road is proud to introduce their new heavy duty "Mil-Spec" Molle Panel designed for the Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU Tailgate. This Molle panel is triple stitched heavy duty fabric made to military Type III specifications right here on the east coast. There are eight mounting points so the panel will not sag when mounted properly. All mounting hardware is included.

Contents:

1 - Mil Spec Molle Tailgate Panel

8 - Rivnuts

This is a clip from a longer install video, but I thought this was worth sharing separately. Lots of folks tend to complain about sagging MOLLE gear, but I would bet that most of it occurs for 1 of 2 reasons:

1. Poorly constructed PALS or MOLLE equipment (out of spec, loose stitching, etc.) -or-
2. Improper attachment of the MOLLE gear to the PALS webbing.

« Distracted Driving – Ticking Time Bombs
CPO’s Rubicon Express Oil Pan Skid Plate Install
By Chris Poldervaart | July 15, 2015 | How To

Rubicon Express-REA1011

If you happen to have a stock or mostly stock JK or JKU Wrangler that you are planning on doing a little more with than just mall crawling, then you might want to consider some of the critical exposed bits that might be at risk underneath your ride as you hit the trails. While it’s perfectly acceptable, and very possible, to enjoy your Jeep on the trails without sustaining damage in its stock form, there tends to be a point where many drivers start to get a little more ambitious. That’s when more difficult lines are tested, and perhaps so is your ground clearance. :-)

One of the recommended modifications for any developing off-road warrior is the addition of skid plates to help protect the underbody from damage which might leave you stranded on the trail. If you ask experienced off roaders what the most important skid plate is, you will get several answers. Some believe the differential should be first to be protected, others will shout that it’s the oil pan or the gas tank. I had to consider all of this when I decided which skid plate I was going to install first. My 2015 JKU Willys Wheeler came from the factory with a gas tank skid plate and also one for the transfer case. From my own personal assessment, if I could only add skids one at a time, the oil pan was going to be the first.

Sure it’s not as low and exposed as the diffs…but it is more vulnerable (in my opinion). So my decision was to protect the oil pan using a modular skid plate system from Rubicon Express. It’s modular, because I can easily add to it as time and funds allow. Oil pan…then transmission…then I will see what’s next after that.

This is a quick video showing the installation of the Rubicon Express Oil Pan Skid Plate (REA1011) on my Wrangler. As you can see, it’s a pretty straight forward install. Before I got mine, I had a hard time picturing how it would be installed (even with the instructions) so I made this video in case it may be helpful for someone else either looking to purchase, or wanting tips for the install. Enjoy!

The Willys has Rubicon suspension, but does not have some of the additional Rubicon features (such as locking diffs or link disconnects). I tell you that so you can keep this video in perspective with whatever you might be trying to work on.

Just a guy in his garage installing a leveling kit and spacers on his new jeep. Please reference the instruction materials and videos as well if you are going to do the same.

If you are interested in doing the same...maybe you'll see something in here that will give you confidence (or scare you away). Maybe you'll see something I did that you can improve on your own installation. Either way... enjoy.

Please don't beat me up too bad on my lack of mechanical prowess. I work on computers for a living...okay. ;-)

Tire Deflators - How They Work, How to Use Them

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb6d0_jLkUs&w=640&h=360]

[ OVERCLOCK3D Jeeps | https://o3djeeps.com ]


From the list of things you don't need to buy for your off-road rig, but you probably will anyway... Brass Tire Deflators.

These little spring-loaded and o-ring sealed gadgets give you the ability to easily air down your tires for the trail. Notice I didn't say "quickly". They do take longer than manually airing down, but the trade off is convenience - and the fact that they will automatically air-down your tires to preset PSI levels. And, it can do it for all four of them at once! So screw these bad boys on all four valve stems and wait for the hissing sound to stop, and you'll be ready to roll!

These brass tire deflators come in several similar designs, but all pretty much work the same way. You will typically find them sold under the following brands: Smitty Built, Rugged Ridge, AutoEC, Tuff Stuff, Staun, and several others. Some screw together to keep them from getting lost, and some (as mine did) come in a little leatherette pouch.

In the following video, I discuss how they work, how to set them up, and how to use them. It's honestly pretty easy once you get them in your hand. In fact, if you don't want to watch me ramble on for 8 minutes, these instructions will get you going just fine:

Setting (calibrating) your brass tire deflators.

1. Deflate your "calibration" tire to desired PSI (I used my spare).

2. Screw the cap on the deflator all the way down (clockwise).

3. Screw the deflator onto the valve stem of the tire (completely).

4. Screw the cap on the deflator counter clockwise until you hear air, then turn back until the air stops.

5. Screw the locking (jam) nut counter clockwise until it is tight against the cap (to prevent it from turning accidentally).

6. Remove the deflator from the valve stem.

7. Repeat for all of your deflators

8. Don't forget to re-air your spare to normal PSI!

Using your brass tire deflators

1. Screw the deflator onto each tire.

2. Wait for hissing sound to stop.

3. Remove the deflators.

See? Now wasn't that easy?

Now, I didn't mention this in the video, but I do know that folks will often screw these on their tires and then drive to the trail area as their tires are airing down. This is another benefit of this design. Don't forget to take them off before you hit the trail, though!

Additionally, there is nothing that says you have to set them all at the same PSI. If you like to use a couple of different PSI levels in your tires, or you have different levels for different vehicles, you could always set them differently. Just figure out how to keep track of which are which!
