Hey guys, Kevin Tetz for ExtremeTerrain.com. The Jeep Wrangler has constantly evolved since
1987 into what you see today, the Jeep JK. And right out of the box, this is a great
vehicle, but over the next few videos we're going to take this rig and transform it into
something that performs extremely well off-road, does everything you ask it to do, but doesn't
lose its ability to be a good looking and very reliable daily driver. But before we
start throwing wheels and tires, winches and bumpers at this thing, we're going to focus
on making this thing look just a little bit better than it does. Okay, with the windshield
washers and the hood bumpers removed, we're going to install the Extreme Terrain hood
decal in matte black. Not only does it help with sun reflection into the driver's cabin,
but it also looks really cool. Very simple to install, it comes with a squeegee and instructions.
A little bit of soapy water and you're good to go. By the way, it helps to have an extra
set of hands, too. Barricade makes great products and accessories for your Jeep. For a full
look at their product line, go to ExtremeTerrain.com. Today, we're using the Barricade Matte Black
Grill Cover. Now this couldn't be easier to install. Just some peel and stick tape and
some OE fasteners on the corners and you're done. And not only does it match the graphics
on the rest of the vehicle, but also serves the purpose of protecting the paint on the
grill and the grill itself, in case we get out and do some aggressive wheeling or in
case we ever want to put this Jeep back to stock, it's easy. All right guys, we're going
to install this awesome LED Raxiom Light Bar, and there's some brackets to get mounted in
place which is why we have the grill off. There's two holes that you've got to drill
here, we used an OE fastener here, and there's threaded inserts, of course that I'm using
this threaded insert gun for. Now, this is easy but if you don't have a threaded insert
gun here's a cool trick where you don't need to buy one. Take your aluminum threaded insert,
your quarter 20 hardware, and this 5/16 nut and basically, what we're doing is locking
the nut down, and this is free spinning. Now we take a 7/16 wrench and you tighten it down,
and it slips through that nut. Now what you can see is the shoulder of that aluminum threaded
insert mushrooming out, and that is going to hold your light bar bracket into that grill
frame quickly, easily, and without having to buy a tool. All right guys, now we get
into the lighting upgrades. We're doing some cool stuff here, like this Raxiom LED Light
Bar. If you haven't heard of Raxiom, they're an awesome company with great on and off-road
LED lighting solutions. This Raxiom LED Light Bar is a combination flood and spot light
all in one. The center operates as a 30 degree spot light, and the ends are 60 degree flood
lights. This is high density LED output, and the housing is built to handle the toughest
terrain. Made out of diecast aluminum and with a super strong polycarbonate lens. Now
there is a little bit of wiring involved in this installation, but that's okay because
it just gives you options. For instance, you could run into the factory fog lights circuit
and use the switch that Jeep gave you, or run a dedicated electrical circuit, put your
switch on your dash anywhere you want it. The choice is yours, but the bottom line is
this Raxiom LED Light Bar is an awesome upgrade for this JK. After the light bar, we didn't
stop there. We installed the Raxiom three inch square LED lights up by the windshield.
They have the same rugged construction, the same waterproof rating, they operate on a
40 degree flood, and the same life-time warranty. Plus, the style matches perfectly. Okay, now
that we've got the exterior looking great, we're going to make some small changes to
the interior that are really going to make a big difference. Like we said, we didn't
go crazy in the interior, but the things that we did do make a lot of sense. Like the Barricade
seat covers. They'll take the dirt, they'll take the mud, you take them off the seats,
throw them in the wash, and your original upholstery doesn't suffer. And these guys,
what I like to refer to as oh $%!# handles because that's kind of what you're thinking
when you finally use these things, they help keep your arms inside the vehicle and help
you steady and have better driver control when you're off camber or going up a very
aggressive trail. We've got them front and rear for the passengers because, guess what.
It's fun to wheel, you're going to have a truckload full of people, but by far the coolest
thing that we're going to do to the interior of this JK is the Raxiom navigation system.
Sits right in the stock location of the radio in the dash. We've got to pull the aftermarket
system out, get this thing installed, an then walk you through the features. It's cool.
Now this Raxiom in-dash system is much more than a navigation system. It's very cool and
feature rich. Starting with a six and a half inch touch-screen LCD that backs away and
gives you access to a card reader and your CD and DVD functions. This installs in the
factory dash with no cutting or modifications required for a completely stock experience.
The Raxiom navigation system uses iGO Primo 2.0 software that includes text-to-speech,
voice and visual turn-by-turn onscreen, 2D, 3D, and Green routing directions, as well
as 3D building views for major cities. Raxiom's navigation supports AM/FM satellite radio,
CD, iPod, audio, Bluetooth, hands-free, including the U-Connect system, all while retaining
factory steering wheel controls if your vehicle's equipped with them. The included high definition
full color back-up camera has an Instant-On feature, where as soon as you pop it into
reverse, instantly you see exactly what's behind you while you're backing up. That's
pretty cool. Now there's one more piece to the puzzle today, and it's a cool option that's
going to give you the ability to run without the tops on and get that open air, wind in
your face feel and an added sense of protection if you're riding around with kids or with
pets. It's going to keep a lot of that debris from coming inside the vehicle whether you're
on or off-road. And that is the Barricade Complete Netting system. It's an easy installation
and, frankly, really gives this thing an aggressive look. Well that's it for this video, but man,
we gave this JK some personality with the Barricade netting system, the Barricade seat
covers, and the awesome Raxiom in-dash navigation system. We gave the front end a face lift
with the matte black grill cover and the matte black hood applique, but we didn't stop there.
We've got enough Raxiom LED lighting on the front of this thing to light up a small town,
and we could stop here because it looks pretty darn good but why would we do that? We're
going to keep throwing parts at this thing until it performs on and off-road as good
as it now looks. Now if you want to learn more about the parts we've installed, head
