it's interesting how the 24 and 52 inch lightbars seem to have more of a hotspot vs the windshield which has more spill
I believe they are all supposed to be spot and flood combo, but the windshield one was a lot more even lighting than the rest.
$1000 for a 24" light............HARD PASS!
These lights are lights that you will never have to buy again. If they are somehow destroyed, they are covered under full lifetime warranty. I'll take these lights from vehicle to vehicle and they will likely out last them all.
@@4WDTrek warranties are a joke now a days, and are easily avoided by the manufacturer. $1000 I can buy new Amazon cheapo light bars every year, and still not spend $1000. They also have a warranty. Let's also not forget thieves. Expensive light bars are a meth heads wet dream.
Well, you do you! I've purchased too many of those amazon light bars for them to last maybe a year if I'm lucky. They would not hold up at all through puddles as knuckle pods nor through deeper puddles and splashes. I've had them get bashed and filled with water. I would prefer to buy a quality one now and not have to keep replacing it with cheap (hopefully) once a year.
@@4WDTrek my Amazon lights have lasted 4 years in the PNW, walker, reiter, Evan, elbe never mind snow wheeling all winter.
@@TheRambler-pz1gx Very surprised! Mine never lasted a year before they shorted out from moisture inside. Thats good they are still working for you!
you're a rolling sun! lol
So bright!!!!
pretty cool testing there. I like the comparisons on the same screen!
I thought it would be an easy way to show the real comparisons
Need more! Love your videos on this!
Thank you! I'm working on it! Had a mishap with my HPOP. Should be installing it back in the bus in a few days and can get back working on it!
thank you for publishing this video! my leaking issues seem to be in the front doors. this video shows one supplier of a specifically designed door seal: czcams.com/video/cisOZeZitbQ/video.html however, the 2-door kit costs $100 & 4-door is $250!!! 😳 i seem to only have leaking issues on the front two doors, but to me this appears to be insane pricing for mere weather stripping. have you found an off-the-shelf weather stripping product that works well for sealing the doors, and is not too thick to allow the doors to close properly? (in the video, the guy said that is an issue with most weather stripping available.) thank you! 8-)
Is there damage done to the seals? Generally you can see if there is seals around the doors and the tops. The front doors of the 2 door are the same as the front doors on a 4 door. You can buy the 2 door kit and just use it on the 4 door. I haven't done any of those seals as mine were not bad. Usually it is the foam spots that are bad.
I’m about to install my ARB into my barnes truss swapped 14 bolt. Have you had any issues with routing your air line the way you did since installing it?
I do have an air leak inside if my axle. I'm unsure if it's the copper line or the seal. I'll know that answer in about a week or so.
Why won't the bolts come off? At a certain point they just spin.
I'm not sure what this question is pertaining to. Once the bolts get to the point where they are just spinning, they should slide out.
Did you guys get past the gatekeeper?
You have to get past the gate keeper to get on the trail.
Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome! Hope you enjoyed!
What about the front right passenger corner? I replaced all the seals and still have a leak that ends up making a small puddle in my passenger side every time it rains hard.
Did you replace the seals in this video? I would suggest going through and really scrub all the areas clean. Also inspect the seals that go along the windshield and look for dirt, debris and cracks. Clean it out very well. A thin layer of vasoline along the rubber seals will help to rejuvenate them.
Question... I hear that the arb locker rubs some of the 14bolt internal casting.. did you experience this issue with your locker ?
I don't know of any issues, however I know that air is leaking inside the differential that I need to address. I will be pulling the diff cover and inspecting here shortly.
Duct tape😊
That could work as well. Would work better than anything else!
Just a training trail for the locals to head over to "the good stuff".
The good stuff?? You might need to show me what's up!
How has this gone for you, have you upgraded to 40s? Thoughts on going to the 1.75 over 1.5 stroke?
It has been great on the 40s. I'm not sure if the 1.75 is actually needed or not. My limiting factor currently us the slower response when turning hard one way then back the other way at slow speeds, but I think that's due to the flow rate of the pump. But for l just normal driving and on trails, it works very well.
How about now? Still on the 2nd set or? I was thinking about getting a set but not sure I wanna do this job twice
I actually have changed out to one ton axles since then. From the last I heard, they were still going strong. That was about a year ago however.
I like how you did double the cup holders on the back of the couch
Extra cup holders! Never too many!
I swear, that jumpsuit went on and your whole mood changed😂
🤣
Very helpful video, good explanation.
Glad I could be of some help for you!
Looks like a fun time! Thanks for sharing!
Was a blast! Might have to get you out with me on some trails again soon!
Kinda looks like you should at least look into a Buggy. That thing rocked it.
That means I will HAVE to trailer it. I do enjoy my creature comforts. And with my jeep, I could take you both out wheeling whenever I make it out there!
@@4WDTrek Lotsa great places here for it. I Sure wouldn't turn down the offer. 😁
@@4WDTrek Wouldn't you be able to take it out on your school bus?
Thats the goal! All across the country!
That was fun 😊
Ah, the good ole wench. It's definitely a lifesaver

Fronts are 8 inches wide.
Do Renegade's need transfer/ diferencial and transmission breather extension tubes while going through deep water/ mud?
I would suggest it highly.
I love my renegade. Little think is a beast
They are extremely surprising for sure! Very capable rigs.
@@4WDTrek We shouldn’t be surprised. At the end of the day they are a Jeep.
@@papabear463 That is very true! Plus, the driver of the renegade is super skilled as well
Well how do you back the gear up
You turn the gear the opposite way to back it up. One way tightens, one way loosens
someone give me the mods you pput on that i want them for my latitude
Haha yeah my buddy has done a great job with that thing. A lot of work has been put into it. It's a beast!
@@4WDTrek can u lemme know the mods please i have a renegade n i want it to be more jeep
@@PhantomClan6.9 shoot me a message via fb or Instagram. I can link you with the owner to get more info
@@4WDTrek whats yo fb
That’s one bad ass toy hauler!
Thanks! Have you watched the rest of the build series??
that Sammy is impressive....
It really is. I need to get back out wheeling with it soon.
Finally an update!
I know right! So much life stuff going on.
yes yes! ice cream sandwiches!
Obviously on some adventures!
Finally! been waiting for this one!
Yes! Been super busy and haven't had time to get stuff done recently. Gotta get back on it!
@@4WDTrek how will power work for the fridge? Is there enough room?
@CJtheRocker I'm running the power through 12v and on its own circuit from the battery. The plug for the side is actually built at a 90 degree angle so it sits more narrow than the handles. I think I'm going to attach a spring part way on the cable so it pulls it up out of the way when sliding back in.
@@4WDTrek ahhh perfection 🤌🤌
ICECO discount codes???
Unfortunately not.
@@4WDTrek dang!
“I did a bunch of math….” What’s new?😂
Mathing always mathing
Uhg video great except you keep mispronouncing naches. It's not nochis. It's pronounced nat-cheese but no T sound. Sorry it's just annoying to us locals when others come in and say it wrong. Love the vieos tho.
Yup. I was told I pronounced it incorrectly a lot already. I learned! Can't wait for it to open back up this year!
Did he still have tractions control and electronic stability control off? It sounds like it is struggling. I haven’t lifted mine renegade or put bigger tires. I always turn off the TC and ESC and put it in manual shift. I do not have the trailhawk though.
I honestly couldn't tell you what settings he had on. I do know it was in a mode where it mimicks 4 low though. It purposefully drops the rpms and spins the tires slower to be more controlled.
Was the Lincoln town car drive by wire and you swapped it to drive by cable?
That is correct. Since I didn't use the town car wiring harness and computer, I had the option with the holley. I'm happy with the decision!
@@4WDTrek so did you just swap the intake and throttle body?
@@devonstimmerman1256 I swapped out the intake manifold as mine was cracked. But I got a BBK throttle body
How did you shorten the axle tube. The explorer is offset about 2 3/4" on one side
I did not shorten it. I left it full length. Haven't had any issues with the set up yet. No clearance issues at stock height.
Awesome video, what brand radiator did you purchase to replace the old one? How has it been holding up?
I think it was a mishimoto one. It was a friend's jeep I did this on. It worked out super well up til the day he sold it. Unsure as to how it is now though. Probably still holding up!
Great and realistic video THANKS FOR SHARING
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
L cameraman, purposely staying off the back of the renegade. I wanna know if my latitude is capable! I didnt see the trailhawk logo on the side, now im just left in confusion.
The renegade is modified a bit. Has a small lift and slightly larger tires. But other than that, it's all driver skill that got him through it all!
I have a small leak that drips into the pocket on the dashboard. I'm searching for info before I tackle the problem. Elsewhere, I have no other leaks. As a new Jeep owner with zero desire to go topless, I put a bead of silicon between the Freedom Top and the back roof. Just enough to cover the exposed seam.
Thats a good idea if you never wish to take your tops off.
Super helpful! Thank you guys
Glad we could be of help!
The trails at tahuya have been greatly improved in the last year. I used to do it in a Ford escort. It’s way more challenging now.
I'm planning on getting back down there and doing an updated video on it.
I currently have both sitting in the garage. Had the 2000 model from new it’s a great drive and very predictable. The new one is very different it’s a great drive but it’s taking some time to get used to.
My biggest thing to get used to was going back to a non electric clutch after the electric one. It's really weird.
Mold?? How does that happen? Not safe dude!
When the tops leak and you don't drive it for a period of time, it can develop mold. But no more mold and no more leaks!
I’m about to set mine up with the ram in pretty much the exact same setup. Which port on the steering box did you run to the stationary side of the psc ram? Would definitely save me some time if I knew before I hook up my lines for first test
Off the top of my head, I don't recall. But I know 100% that whichever I ran in the video, it was backwards.
Front hole (radiator side) went to the stationary on mine.
I bought the same panel the front went real smooth. I used 8/32 machine screws. I now have to tackle the roll panel end. My jeep is a soft top
Nice! Definitely super handy add on!
Safety glasses with flip flops 😂
Haha yeah yeah. At least my eyes won't get chopped off from a broken grinding disc!
