=====================================
In this video I tell you about the Excalibur Remote Start capability in the Jeep Wrangler, and why you may or may not need to use that Neutral Safety Switch (NSS) wire, what Vehicle Learn Mode is, and how to actually set up remote start in your Jeep - yeah.. I'll tell you all about Manual Transmission Reservation Mode!
So you want to install an alarm system and remote start into your Jeep Wrangler? Well… this is the page for you! What follows below is the complete video series regarding the selection, overview, installation, setup, and howtos of the Omega Excalibur AL-1775-3DB security system and remote start I installed in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler with automatic transmission. If you happen to have the same vehicle (including similar years) then this page should be a step-by-step guide for you. If you have a manual transmission, there will be some additional steps and wiring for you, and what exactly depends on what year your Jeep is. I tried to mention some of those things throughout the video series. If you have a 2017 or newer, also note that the access to the ignition switch harness is a little different. I’ll also try and help you out there.
Please watch all of the videos BEFORE YOU START your own installation. This is important because I may point out things in later videos that would be helpful to know about early on. It’s just part of the process. Once I get into the install, I know more about what exactly needs to be done, versus what I believe needs to be done. A great example of this is the wiring for the parking lights. In the wiring prep video, I told you that you needed three wires for this because that was the industry standard based on how the Jeeps were wired. However, in actual testing during the install (and working closely with the tech guys at Omega Research and Development) I found that only one wire was really needed. So I modified the harness from the original 9 wires, down to 7!! BONUS!!!

Fumoto F106SX Drain Valve Oil Change and Blackstone Labs Oil Testing Sample Collection Jeep Wrangler
In this video I perform my first oil change after having installed the Fumoto F106SX Drain Valve. Man, this was easy! If you want to see the installation video for the Fumoto, you can go here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyc1ICrXfQ8
If you'd like to buy such a thing...
http://amzn.to/2vQU54b
I also capture a sample of my oil to send to Blackstone Labs. More info on that here: https://www.blackstone-labs.com/
Oil analysis is a quick, nondestructive way to gauge the health of an engine by looking at what's in the oil. People use oil analysis for different reasons: to see if there are any problems developing, to see if their oil is working well in the engine, and to see if they can run longer oil changes. Get started with your analysis by ordering a free test kit.

Removing Shift Knob WITHOUT DAMAGE!!! Transfer Case - Jeep Wrangler JK
This is another short tip video to demonstrate how to remove the transfer case shifter knob from your JK Wrangler without damaging the knob or your face.
It's fascinating to me how many howto videos there are out there that don't actually show the removal, but rather show you AFTER they removed it. They tell you how they did it. They should be called how-did vidoes! lol Here's a video of me removing this knob like three times... THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT TO EXPECT.
This is very simple, but a bit scary for those who don't know what to expect. My hope is that showing the actual removal in a video will help those who want to do this but are hesitant after reading how hard it is, or how easy it is to smack yourself in the face! : - )
Why would you want to remove your shift knob? Typically it's for one of two reasons:
1. You may want to replace the knob with an aftermarket one to give your Jeep a cool new look.
2. You may need to remove the knob to fully disassemble the center console.

Hutchinson Rock Monster Beadlock Wheel & Tire Assembly - Complete - Unedited - Pros and Cons Review
This is a video, unedited and uncut, from start to finish, of me putting together a Hutchinson Rock Monster Bead Lock Wheel assembly. This is just to help you understand what is involved, how long it takes, and what is needed to do it. Sometimes videos have these magical installs that are much more difficult to achieve in the real world... even though they seem so easy in the video. Hopefully this video demonstrates just how easy this process really is! Less than 10 minutes per tire is pretty good, in my opinion.
Additionally, I tell you in the narrative a little about Hutchinson Industries, whether these rims are DOT approved, certified, or compliant, and why, and what the DOT-T label on the side of the wheel means. I did a bit of research on this, and it's crazy what people will make up that isn't true. Hint: It doesn't stand for Trailer or Truck. lol
More detailed installation video will follow, but I think this is a good look at the overall process in case you are interested in looking at these Hutchinson Rock Monsters.
My DeWALT 1/2" Impact Wrench really came in handy here, and I highly recommend it. You can check it out here: http://amzn.to/2zc7QMT

Lug Nuts - Spline Drive McGard and Gorilla and What and Why Jeep Wrangler
Let's talk lug nuts! I'll show you what I bought and why... and show you the difference between the McGard and Gorilla splinedrive lug nuts. I also talk about what you need to know to buy aftermarket lug nuts for a Jeep Wrangler.
I found this when searching the McGard... and found it interesting. That piece at the cone is actually a brass washer and it's designed to allow you to tighten things without damaging the rim.
"No one mentioned that they have a built -on tapered washer that actually spins freely until it contacts the rim. At that point it will stop spinning and you torque the lug against the washer INSTEAD of it torqueing and grinding into your rims(after removing to rotate the wheels with regular lugs enough times it will start to grind into the lug well in most cases) . They are made of Stainless steel(no rust and guaranteed for life by McGard) and the Naval Brass washer,these things are plenty strong." https://forum.miata.net/vb/archive/index.php/t-312032.html
Also... here are the products mention in the video:
