You absolutely need to theft mod it so it doesn't get stolen without it being a massive hassle to the thieves. They're stolen in no time in broad daylight no matter where you are. A guy went to fill up at the gas station and coming back from the john it was all gone. I'd suggest covering up the vin number under the windshield too as they can program a key from that. A remote controlled kill switch is best because an accessible kill switch is no longer enough. they know all the spots. Remove the trans release as well.

And I'd recommend MOPAR owners get all of these and not just pick one and think they're good. Overall this is like $3K but its the best investment anybody can make.

You don't want one that's been in an accident. They were all hand built and can cost a fortune in labour when you want them looking new again. Not to mention the sheer expense of those hand built panels. It takes a real top notch body shop to get them looking sharp and the people who have those skills do not come cheap. Things can get out of hand real fast and Wizard doesn't want the ongoing headaches. I can totally understand that.

I like Grimmes, saw over on Jake's channel first, and he's an honest straight up mechanic, and has helped a lot of people out. You drive whatever you like Wizard, it's your money. What's Mrs. Wizard's favorite car? I am working on a 1954 m38a1 jeep willys, has all the 24 volt wiring intact to go fording. My dr. told me i needed to be as active as i can, because i have progressive MS, causing muscle wasting on my entire left side. The muscles on my left, are half the size as on my right side, and i have weakness, numbness, and dexterity problems. I can't feel my hand, so it gets aggravating at time's doing stuff. I thank the Lord that i can still work on car's, and am not in a wheel chair. I have wanted an old army jeep for year's, but could never find a decent one i could afford near me. Luckily a guy bought the jeep from the governot in the 80's from an auction, and never road titled, which saved it from the salt killer here in Michigan. He drove it on his summer property up north, so it has 37,000 miles on it. He passed away, and i bought it for a good price from his daughter. I put two batteries in it, and all the electrical stuff work's, and it cranks real smooth. I took the carb off and rebuilt it, but it was really clean, and i could have run it. I am putting in new ignition parts, and making sure everything is good before i fire it up. I like the video's you do of the scammers, there are a lot out there, and you seem to be honest and fair to the people who come to you. It's unfortunate that people who don't know anything about car's buy stuff without having it checked out. I worked at a Chrysler dealership back in the early 90's, and the lease vehicle's that got turned in without ever having oil changes was crazy. The dgi car's will be destroyed from that now. I would never buy a leased vehicle unless there were legit service record's. People seem to have less of a conscience than ten or so year's ago. Keep on driving what you like, and billing Tyler for tearing up car's for you to fix lol. G-d bless from a lady in Michigan.

Valentine 1-Gen 2 owner here. It is a very good detector when combined with the JBV1 android app. The next option is the V1 Driver app for iPhone. Even when using the JBV1 app, it can get a bit hyperactive around shopping centers. Uniden may offer a good option that will have GPS built-in but I can't remember the model. As for Australia, John Cadogan pronounces it "Astraya".

I understand the appeal. It's a muscle car with modern (safety) features. Even with that horsepower it won't kill you as often as the Viper. That's a win in my book since I like your content. :)

Great car. Make sure to seal all the holes in the rear deck if using the 8" sub (sound deadening). Using a line out from the rear deck speakers will lose bass, so a bass restoration device, or get a PAC-40(or 41) to do a line out directly from the head unit.... Enjoy!

Regarding back shelf, subwoofer, stiffening the back shelf with some sort of brace and a Dampening material will improve response and punch of bass.
