Rugged Ridge XHD Modular Snorkel Install on 2015 Jeep Wrangler

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnsnPcA8ZH8&w=640&h=360]

This was lost footage. Seriously. I lost it. But, I found it! Here is the complete install of my snorkel on OVERCLOCK3D. I did this back in December of 2015. I have changed a lot on the Jeep since then, but one thing remains... and that's this snorkel. I still really like this thing. This video has no commentary. I'd consider it as a supplement to the install guide. You can find the guide at:
https://lib.extremeterrain.com/guides/J13276_Guide.pdf

I got this snorkel from Extreme Terrain:

Guest Install #3 - Nicoko 3" 18W CREE LED Pods with RGB Halo - Mike Gonsalves

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOpxLg4MRng&w=640&h=360]

Here's another guest installation video. This one is from one of my subscribers, Mike Gonsalves. He was kind enough to grab some video of his installation of these Nicoko LED 3" pods with halos. I was actually surprised how easy these were to install. Not having to deal with switch wiring is a huge bonus.

Here's where to find the LED pods that Mike installed in this video:

or this Nicoko 20/22 Inch 120w Straight Led Light Bar with Chasing RGB halo - http://amzn.to/2FGvrJp

Thanks again, Mike!

5-Tire Rotation on OVERCLOCK3D

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiTSuFlDg_0&w=640&h=360]

I threw on a camera really quick while I was in the middle of a tire rotation. I figured I'd show my process. I have spline drive lugs and locking lug nuts. Sorry the camera angle wasn't amazing. But I'm sure you get the point.
