added oracle oculus 9” LED’s
This is amazing! Would you mind sharing some of the design specs? Just picked up a JLU and been wanting to build the same thingI’m finally done with MPFSWN. I mocked it up using 1/2” cheap plywood in phase 1, and when we got it right we bought some quality 3/4” plywood. The only part bolted or screwed in is the base in the back, which will remain throughout most of the year. Both, or either, the 40% and 60% can be removed and stored in the trunk in under a minute. I’ll need to buy a 60% delete bracket from goose gear to take out the seat though. That will cost almost half as as much as the rest of the project. All in I’ve about $200 in it. The automotive carpet was $70. The plywood $100 and glue, paint, etc about $30. It fits together very tight with no rattling at all.
This is my first wood working project ever so don’t me too mean with the comments. Lol.
I got it from Cheaper Jeeper TV on YouTube. I modified it a little bit for the most part it’s the sameThis is amazing! Would you mind sharing some of the design specs? Just picked up a JLU and been wanting to build the same thing
What color were the wires at the hitch? Mine are on the way. Any info appreciated.Got my Oracle backup lights installed finally. Elected to use double sided gorilla tape instead of trying to get those screws back in. Tied them together and into the reverse light circuit from the hitch harness and a weather pac connector.
Not sure if you‘ve all Seen these, but there are kicker speaker upgrades available on amazon. I installed 4 of them plug and play in my 2018 JL and probably will again. See prior posts from others linked below.I've not yet heard any popping from the new Infinity speakers, either. The product's ad copy on Crutchfield's site materially omits mention of the inclusion of capacitors with the speakers, though, nor the possible need to solder them in place if sound quality suffers. This, on top of the inaccurate plug-and-play installation promise for the 2018+ Wrangler.
I've been buying from Crutchfield since the 80s, and have had a superlative experience in that time, but this go-round was a multi-tiered flub on their part.
I was on the phone with Crutchfield Tech Support after I identified the two installation deficiencies that I mentioned in a previous post (and to be clear, the rep was polite and professional). He claimed no knowledge of the polarity-reversal issue with the Metra adapters. Having the correct terminal pin tool kit allowed me to fix that matter on the bench in short order. Good luck to the owners that have to cut & crimp to fix things.
I did mention to the tech that the wiring chart, on p. 17 of their own Master Sheet for the 2018+ Wrangler, correctly identifies in detail all of the positive and negative factory wire colors. I then suggested that this data could be cross walked to the Metra adapters, if or when they decide to investigate the aforementioned and still-current polarity error.
Xplore-offroad.com sells some nice decals for your rear windows. Easy to install and add a nice edge. They give discounts with code USA10Added the side vent USA flag decals from pixel decals. I’m diggin the look.
Wow, he has a lot of cool diy stuff on his YouTube. Thanks you for sharing!I got it from Cheaper Jeeper TV on YouTube. I modified it a little bit for the most part it’s the same
I would like to know this as well. Also, a picture of the actual wiring would be helpful if you don’t mind.What color were the wires at the hitch? Mine are on the way. Any info appreciated.
Like the sequential signals.Finished off my full front end LED conversion.

I did, thanks. The Infinitys (intended for the dashboard) were already in my parts box, so I thought I'd move forward with them. I would like to upgrade the sound bar speakers, also, and will keep the Kickers in mind for that purpose.Not sure if you‘ve all Seen these, but there are kicker speaker upgrades available on amazon.

How was the fit on the Allas? I've a pair of the same LED fog lights in my parts box; a Christmas gift awaiting installation.Alla LED fog bulbs
