Thanks for the video. A common thing to forget with new Jeep owners is when they lift their jeep they need to re-aim their headlights lower or oncoming drivers will be blinded. If the jeep is lifted 2 inches, then headlights sit 2 inches higher which is why people are flashing you.

[@JohnDoe-zw8vx]

I have a 19 JLUR. After 2 years, no wear on the leather. Best upgrade was the Bestop Sunrider. When you buy a new rear bumper, get one with a tire carrier and get that spare off the tailgate. Most importantly, get that thing off road. It is amazing. Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@annadash6031]

Overall pretty informative video but i have some comments 1) the tail lights you compare them to are the stock JK, not JL which are pretty blah 2)Headlights: I think they could easily be upgraded for a fraction of that cost. (500$ for all ) 3) all JLs come with backup cameras as it's a federal requirement. Granted the standard one comes with a smaller screen and no park sensors

[@1eevahn]

#2 do you mean $500 headlights only? The oem lighting package around $1000 includes rear tail and fender LED.

[@annadash6031]

@@1eevahn I have converted to LEDs all around for under 300$

[@woodychitwn]

Speaking of ankle strain, I believe a "dead pedal" is a must have for any automatic. I think I agreed or at least saw the point of all your selections EXCEPT for the dual-door group. These are in huge demand and none of the aftermarket half doors have the same fit and finish. I genuinely believe they're good for three-seasons worth of driving and the solid doors are something I'd only really want on for winter.

[@rich7447]

I didn't opt for either of the safety groups. Adaptive cruise is nice, but you have to add two options groups to get it. You also get a few groups (lights etc) on the 4xe that you pay extra for on the standard Rubicon.

[@mhport3r]

Thank you, one point though....the backup camera is not part of any group, they have been mandatory for a few years.

[@mylemmings5818]

with a lift kit and bigger tires you might need to lower your headlights (how they are aimed), especially the driver's side since the beam cutoff pattern is probably right at eyelevel for oncoming sedans.

[@BlackGT1999]

It’s at factory height.

[@ScottParisi]

Not a bad ride. I take my JL with two doors, a clutch and non paint matched top or bumpers. No leather for me but definitely cold weather. Sting Gray with the black freedom top and fenders looks good.

[@markalexander774]

I have a 2021 JL Unlimited Rubicon with the 3.6L V6 and the manual transmission. It has leather seats, the upgraded entertainment system, and the gorilla glass windshield. Everything else is bare bones. I did not custom order it, I picked a new one up at a dealership. 1. The upgraded entertainment system is absolutely worth it. I love it and I use it everyday. 2. The leather seats are only worth it if you plan on either swapping your seats out or putting seat covers on. People complain about Wrangler seats, but I have no problem with them, and the dealer took these off the price, so I'm happy. 3. The windshield is currently in pristine condition, so I have no complaints, but I also have nothing with which to compare it. 4. I really would have like the trailer tow package, and upgrading it to this after the fact is in my plans, but it will be much more of a pain in the ass and probably more expensive, so definitely opt in to the trailer tow package if you can. 5. I'm sure the LED light package is great, but the aftermarket KC Hilites headlight swap is cheaper and amazing, so I am okay with not having gotten this one. If you do not get it though, you will want to swap them, as the stock halogen lights fucking suck. 6. The steel bumpers are something I also which I got. The plastic rear bumper sucks and the front one does not allow for a winch, so getting the steel bumper upgrades is a must unless you have your own aftermarket ones that you want to add on yourself. 7. The top is up to you. I will never take the top off, so I have the hardtop. My hardtop is black, as are my fenders (on a red jeep), not painted, which is what I like. 8. I don't have any of the safety sensor things, and I have never felt like I need them or would use them. I like being in full control over my car, but I seem to be in the minority of people on this, as most people I know love cruise control and shit like that when driving. 9. I don't have the front facing camera, and I imagine that that would have been nice when parallel parking in a tight space or when off roading. 10. The hinge gate reinforcement is necessary only if you plan on getting like 37 inch or bigger tires. If you keep the stock tires, then don't bother.

[@photoapeal]

I have a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, I added redline tuning hood struts. Eliminates the hood prop. I’m going to put on bodyguard RT stubby front bumper & rear full sized. Might add their fender kit & light pillars. Rockslide engineering side steps, possibly add their guards. 37” tires & hard rock rims. SPOD lights & accessory control center. I’m going have some paint work done on front the front trim, next week.

[@hugenbergerdesigns]

Definitely recommend buying the OEM Bar doors (not the same thing as the half doors) and also Carolina metal masters’ mirrors (for when you go door-less)

[@NIVAD84]

No leather seats, no steel number, no and painted fenders. These are the best features man!

[@BL4CKSTEEL]

Eh the painted fenders just get messed up. Odds are some c**ksucker will put a cart in into them at the grocery store.

[@warrenstemphly5756]

I wish you could get a rubicon with roll up windows and a simple radio.

[@kellingtonlink956]

Neither of my 2 YJ’s had a black top (1 white/1 Sand). But from what other owners have told me, is that the Black top can be rather hot during peak sunny Summer months (if on... a/c can’t keep up on high/stifling hot if sitting etc. ). Still if the Jeep were Black... it definitely needs a Black top. Great idea for a video, Guys! Thanks.

[@DepthWish]

I like the channel and this is an observation though. If other drivers are flicking their high beams, they may be at least somewhat blinded and not feeling safe driving which could also make your situation less safe. A vehicle that rides high with very bright headlights can be difficult for oncoming traffic. I was going to put LEDs into my early bronco and noticed that I was blinded with what other guys had done. One driver blinded could be bad for everybody so it's something to take into account. Lots of articles/petitions on this recently. Still dig the channel and keep the content coming.

[@iloveoreos777]

Sick jeep but you must angle those headlights down before you give someone a seizure.

[@guillermogarza8442]

We have the exact same setup except i didn’t get the front facing camera and got the power skytop. Everything else is literally the same 🤤

[@tripleseven8361]

Great review… Thanks! I think I would have opted for the leather because it’s so wearable and if you take care of it, it’ll last forever… Just like a good bridal and saddle used for horses. When it gets dirty, you wipe it down and it’s good as new… The occasional leather treatment as well.

[@dannycnoble]

I agree. Based on this video i started out with cloth. Then after cleaning my current trailblazer that has cloth seats lots of dog hair and odor. Took forever. But if had leather seats in would have just wiped it off and all is good. So i chose the leather option.

Mine is a jku, Rubicon hard rock.

I've heard the top liners don't really do much to dampen or insulate and pretty much just make the parts bulkier to store. Couldn't tell you from personal experience, though.

[@ItchyBurrito]

My aftermarket LED headlights are amazing and they were $300... not $1300. I also got amazing LED taillights with super bright reverse lights for $110. So $410 vs $1300 🤔

[@flamingorock]

Yeah but the LED brightness isn't so safe for other drivers. I can say from experience. You might think it's so good to have those bright lights but it's a hazardous distraction to other drivers. Other people shining their high beams at you to signal to turn yours off isn't a good thing. So yes LED lights are great. They're brighter. I hate them when I'm not using them. That's all. 👍
