One of my favorite mod's I've done was install the Hothead Headliner for my hard top with the sound assassin strips. Not only does it make a HUGE difference with the reducing the heat in the southeast but, the Alpine speakers sounds much better immediately after install. The bass is much deeper and improved with less road/wind noise. The quality of these headliners are top notch and I highly recommend them.

It’s funny as I watched this video and a couple weeks later picked up my built to order JLR, on the 200+ mile back my rear speakers stopped working. After I got home, I re-seated all the fuses and never had the problem again. Thank you Matt! 💪

My new JK came with the heavy floor mats. Love them.

[tymotheuspel]

Great tips. Had to reinstall my floor mats as the dealer put them over the fabric. Yes all fuses where loose. Thanks!

Greetings from Craig Alaska!...a lot of locals here depend on jeeps and especially wranglers, so this video really speaks to me. My friend Mike turned me on to this channel...love it.

my JKU Rubicon Hard Rock Edition came with the rubber weather floor mats for the front and rear seats. I bought the rubber floormat for the cargo area. well worth it. my carpet looks like new 9 years later. also, you should look at the door entry guard. mine had a spot where the paint wore out where you get in and out of the jeep. I had it fixed about a year ago and then put the door sill covers on it. honestly this should have been done at the factory.

Matt, I've read several of the comments on this first video I've watched of yours. You're a rocksta, Sir! I haven't got my 4 door wrangler yet, but hope to within this next year! I've subscribed Matt, because I, like these other commenters KNOW we can trust you to give us the correct direction on these cool Jeeps!! Thank you.

I have the same exact jeep. Just installed a 2 in lift, new front bumper, winch and some 17x9 -15mm offset and some trail boss AT tires.

1. Another option for the phone mount is 67 Designs. Great product. I do recommend the magnetic mount though.
2. Floor mats 👍👍
3. Antenna: I did the 50 cal bullet design.. it’s works fairly well and I don’t listen to much over the air waves anyway.
4. I have the Warn version of your mount and well as a rope and if going way out, a complete tool bag.
5. The fuses and relays on my JT and my friends were out 1/8 to 3/16 from being fully seated. In fact, my friends went into a limp mode with codes referring to intermittent ECM contact. Pushed the relays down and has been good since.

Installed the Bulletpoint Rubigrid with xl phone holder on my Gladiator. It's awesome!

[thomasp]

I went with bullet point phone mount excellent product. Center console insert is another good low cost upgrade.

Great video! You have become one of my go to Wrangler channels!!! Thanks for doing great jeep content

[jeffdurall]

Love your videos. I'm buying my first Jeep this afternoon. Glad I found your channel.

So I just got my first wrangler 22 Willy Recon Package and in 2 years will trade up to a 24 Rubicon 392 and I love that every day I learn something new with these cars one thing I didn’t know until I saw your video is I had to cut a piece of the flooring carpet out in order to get to the drain, I saw it imprinted but I figured mine doesn’t have that option 😂

And I might be the only one on this but I love the stock antenna especially on my Sarge Green Recon with the soft top it makes it look like a true Army Jeep I love it.

Don’t be afraid to ask the dealership to add the floor matts when negotiating. I was able to get them added at no out of pocket cost to me.

[baselmusic]

Love the neon color man. I just purchased a 2020 wrangler sport. Love the ride so far ✌🏻

[RedSiBaron]

that fuse box suggestion is fantastic, regardless of the manufacturer.

I also want to mention, in regards to the floor liners. Anyone thinking of ordering their jeep, DO NOT spec this item on the build sheet, you will pay A LOT more for small items you can add later like the floor liners. You can actually get them cheaper by a few dollars and you aren't financing them.

Hi Matt and Ryan. First I love your videos, your tips and advice have helped me very much. Second and this is just for fun, I ordered my 2-door in earl grey on June 2 and Ryan got his before me...arghh. I did not get mine until after the strike and just after Thanksgiving. I used your tip about checking the fuses to make sure they were all pushed in completely, the count was close to 30 that went just a bit more into place. That was a great tip!! I also got some rock Stopperz from your product try out video, they work great and look good as well. I'm looking into some of the other mods for storage and Bullet point but had not decided yet on what will work best for me. This is my first Jeep and so far I love it, I have not gotten to open the top or go doors off, I'll have to wait for spring. I just wanted to say thanks for your content, it really helped a totally new Jeep guy make some informed choices. Keep up the good work. I did order the floor mats and got some side steps and sill protectors also.

[amiletarmenta-ruiz]

Awesome content! I just bought my first Jeep!

[alsjeep]

Aside from checking the fuse box I concur with your choices! I must admit the rubber mats lose the dark black look early and are grayed out! I much prefer the carpet mats as a option. Keep the informative videos coming and please consider me when you decide to give your carpet mats away!
