JOYTUTUS All-Weather Cargo Mat Jeep JL- amzn.to/3Q86sE5
Price: $69.99 (30% off now!)
Dirty Jeeps come as a lifestyle. This gets VERY annoying when you daily drive a Jeep Wrangler and wheel often. The trunk area is especially messy when I use my recovery gear on the trail. This is why I installed an affordable, all-weather cargo mat from Joytutus! This thing looks great and keeps our Jeep's carpet protected as we live our life.

Having a dependable phone holder for off-roading is very important to us! BulletPoint's Rubigrid system is sturdy, easy to install, and versatile by offering several mounting types for your needs. This system for the Jeep Wrangler JL is a little pricy, but well worth the money. We consider the Rubigrid as the best phone mount for Jeeps and off-roaders.
Savadicar's JL Grab Tray w/Microfiber Protection- amzn.to/472DWLd
Price: $19.99
As simple mods go, this is our favorite! Savadicar's Jeep JL Grab Tray offers a convenient place for you or your passenger to store items without cluttering up the center console/ cupholder area. I mean when I say that this mod has saved Amanda and I from COUNTLESS petty fights that add up to big frustrations. It is the perfect place for her to store her phone, sunglasses, and other items out of the way and easily within reach. The microfiber layer offers a protective layer for items that could otherwise be easily scratched. They do offer a tray without this, but we recommend the microfiber layer!

The most requested mod from our last mod video are these awesome seat covers from Smittybilt. These seat covers for the Jeep JL are incredibly stylish, protect the seats from the elements, and are very affordable. Installation is a little time consuming but you cannot beat the bang for your buck. Similar styles/color seat covers can cost thousands of dollars but these clock in at less than $200! We've had these installed on the Jeep for about a year without deep cleaning them or taking them off and they've held up beautifully. They break up the monotony of the OE seat covers and offer a sporty look to your Jeep JL. These are in my top 5 favorite mods I've done to the Jeep JL.

What’s your favorite mod? Is any of these mods your favorite???
Personally a major of fan of Screen ProTech! Thank you for a very thorough video! xoxo SPT
Definitely and rightfully so!
I’ve had the Hood lifts done over and year now and love it.
@@GT_KREW They are certainly awesome!
What jerry can/gas can mount and containers do you have? Link? @1:37
Love the hydraulic hood lift cylinders and the Smittybuilt seat covers! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed them! The hood lift is freaking awesome-I really wished I got it a LONG time ago. The seat covers are great too. I want to get the Katskinz covers that are mostly red but when I saw the price- these Smittybuilt covers will do the trick for now.
Talk about some awesome MODS!! Thank you for the info!!
Thank you! I try my best to offer mods that others don’t talk about and are actually useful! Glad you enjoyed! 😊
Thx for sharing, great ideas for sure!
You are so welcome! 🤗
I don't own a Jeep to off-road. I own a Jeep because it's insanely good in the winter, and yeah it looks fricken cool!
They are one of the best (if not the best) for doing that winter driving for sure! They look MUCH better than the competition (I'd take a Wrangler over an Outback any day). Even though we wheel our Jeep, it sees more time as a daily driver so we pick mods to help with that too!
Glad y’all could settle the big cup holder conflict of 2023! You guys are unstoppable now! 😊
It was a HUGE conflict but yes! It is resolved and we have been at peace since! Best $20 spent
I ve got a grab handle tray for my JT, but I keep stuff in it that won't get in the way of the air bag, if I have a passenger, like glasses, pens, etc. Great video. Thanks for the ideas. 😊
Yes! Someone that gets it- totally don't have anything that runs above the grab handle line to avoid possible injury. We are glad our video gave you some good ideas for your next mod! We hope you want to join us for more by subscribing to the channel (;
Awesome video and some great items I was not aware of....thank you.
Absolutely! Thank you for your support! (:
I Dig the cargo mat. Thx for posting.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel (:
My favorite daily driver mod is the Bestop sunrider for hardtop. Quick and easy open air makes daily driving a Jeep a lot of fun.
Yup love it! I added the alien sunshade just to protect the fam and I from the sun on longer drives. Works great!!
Thanks for sharing! I love my spiderweb shade since I like the look of the hardtop freedom panels better but it is hard to beat the convenience of the sun rider top!
Love the car seat covers!
The seat covers are freaking awesome! The look, quality and the functionality are great and the covers are super affordable all things considered. People constantly tell me they think they’re OEM too. I can’t go back 😂
I use the Bulletpoint in my JLU and I've retrofitted one to my YJ. Love having them in my vehicles.
How'd you end up doing that to your YJ? I have a buddy that would like to get one for his TJ
Great mods!
Glad you like them! Thank you for your support, it means a lot! ❤
awesome video!
Thank you so much! Hopefully your found some useful mods/idea for your Wrangler! Regardless- we appreciate you supporting our channel! 😊
Thanks for sharing!!! Are the seat covers priced as front only, back only or did they come as an entire set?
It’s priced for the entire set! Very much worth it for the quality, look, and price!
Great video👍..especially the tray🤣. Is there a mod you can put on the roof for sound deafening and temperature insulation?
They do exist! I think the company “hot heads” make them where all you have to do is install it. I have a video where I make some make shift ones that could be beefed up to be better insulated!
I am totally going to start referring to my wife as, "Passenger Princess"
Absolutely man, do it! And refer your friends to our channel (;
Mine is my Nagigator.
I've always called my wife a seat cover, sits there and looks pretty
RT with on the cup holders my wife always blocks that area I’m now bold from pulling all my hair out I just ordered new one for our 2024 392 they made them smaller so there was nothing i suffered a lot I do most the same mods from day one but also add the tray upfront it helps a lot Gear Tray for 2018-2024
Where did you get the dash panel cover? The color/design looks great!
Hey there! We talk about it in detail in this video AND the link is in the description! Thank you for supporting our channel! We hope you are subscribed! kzhead.info/sun/i9CHpblusHefnYU/bejne.htmlsi=dZdeuibxUL3d3ay0
Great vid! Too be honest I'm more interested in those rims. Are they stock? If not what the size?
Ralph! Thanks for the support. Yes the rims are stock. Unfortunately they only made them for the Xtreme Recon package that released in 2021 (and since the 392 is on the recon package those too). Unfortunately, they redesigned them in 2023 that have half of the studs in them and continued using those wheels instead
This is one of the best Mod videos! Question on the passenger holder. How does that work if airbag goes off?
Thank you very much! We worked hard on it! 😂 The website states that the tray itself is airbag safe. That doesn’t say the items in the airbag are. Fortunately, we’ve never had the airbag go off *knocks on wood* but we don’t keep items that go over the top of the grab tray in busy traffic but do every other time
@@overlandzam Even if the items are below the top of the tray, if the airbag goes off, more than likely your just hit something. If you hit something, there is a chance that what is in the tray has just enough time to fly up and then be hit with the airbag. Like tossing a baseball up before hitting it 200 mph into your passenger's face.
@@darrenroos6408 the website says the container is airbag safe- again not mentioning items in the container are. But if you have anything in the dash you’re risking it being a projectile. If you have anything in the rear, you’re also risking it being a projectile. It’s all in how you use the item. In a previous comment we mention use of the item during not busy/ congested periods of traffic where an incident is at its peak probability. Otherwise, it’s fine (to us) and is the consumer’s responsibility to gauge their comfort level and again, use of the item responsibly.
@@overlandzam glad to hear that you can sleep well knowing that if your passenger is injured or killed, it's not your fault since a website said it was "safe"...
@@darrenroos6408man you are picking and choosing the parts I say to what end? I acknowledged improper use of the item -may- result in projectile -if- the airbag were to deploy (your whole psa) then I said if you have anything in the front, back, on the dash- it can turn into a projectile if in an accident- crickets. Additionally, I sleep soundly when I arrive safely after many hours and miles on the road and the airbag not deploying on my passengers as they are able to exit unscathed.
Does the Tutus cargo area protector have a 60/40 protector too for when the seats are down?
Not that I’m aware of and not the one that I have. Since the seat covers already protect the seats we weren’t too stressed on finding a 60/40 mat 😅 For us, this thing works the majority of what we use the rear area for. Some future thoughts are taking the seats out and replacing them with cargo containers but we’ll see!
I love the idea of the grab tray but one concern. Does it impact the airbag functionality? I'd hate for the tray or anything in it to become a projectile if the airbag has to deploy.
This is a great question and something I had a feeling would be mentioned. The website says the tray itself is airbag safe. That isn’t to say the items in the tray are. In my experience, we haven’t had the airbag go off to answer the question, however- I did have a few conversations about this topic with my girlfriend. In traffic, we don’t keep things in it. When it isn’t too busy we do. Better safe than sorry
I recognize a fellow AZ resident. 😂
@@magicword02 You got that right! Hard to mess up this state haha! 😆
@@overlandzam I agree, safety first. So for me, I'm not putting even a tray in that spot on my Jeep (Gladiator) -- just to be "extra safe," if you will. As for my phone, it's on my belt (in a Unicorn belt holster/protector) and my sunglasses securely hang from my CB radio's microphone wire (radio is installed high overhead). The only thing I keep in the 2 cup-holder is, well, cups (and a napkin (mainly to catch condensation drips from cold drinks in Summers)...UNLESS I need to go into the dealership for service and I put my key-fob in its dedicated storage-slot down there...that way EVERYONE knows where it is...or where it's SUPPOSED to be. ;-) "Jeep Wave" -- BR
Question I have is will the hood shocks lift a hood with a hilift jack installed on it?
That’s actually a really good question! They’re strong and fast enough without anything mounted on the hood. I imagine once you get high enough, the hydraulic will take over and keep the hood in place. If I find a hijack and some mounts at a good price, I’ll try doing it myself. Honestly, it’d be worth getting the system and trying it out. Whichever outcome- let me know. Worse case scenario you return it for your money back through Amazon 🤷🏻♂️
Any mods for when you remove the front freedom tops that help with the wind buffeting/noise?
Yes actually! There are several versions/companies out there but we've been loyal to Spiderweb Shade due to the fact that A-they were the first in the business to create the product B-I've used them for my Jeep JK and stand by the quality of the product and C-they're from Florida like we are! They don't carry just the front and are pretty pricy so another good alternative I've used before my Spiderweb Shade is Shadeidea: amzn.to/3NXloVE Their product is good and more affordable too. We notice that if our doors are on and the top is off, these mesh covers do provide a decent amount of wind/noise reduction (you'll still have some) and protects against the sun which is nice. Best of luck!
Gorgeous jeep, Are the tire 37's? And do you have a lift?
Hey there Kirk! Thank you! It’s got the Xtreme Recon package with 1.5” lift and 35s. Our plan is to do a 3.5 in lift and 37s in the future but not right now 😅😂
Did you add those extreme recon wheels, tires, and fender flares to your rubicon? Or was it already an extreme recon?
I ordered the Xtreme Recon package so it’s all from the factory but I have seen tons of people just add everything to it and it looks the same
where did you get the decal that you put over the side behind the front fender ?
Believe it or not-I got it from Etsy 😅
Hi Bro whts the tyre n wheel setup n lifted or not thnks
Hi there! We are running 35" tires with the Xtreme Recon Package from Jeep which gives us 1.5" of lift. We are currently looking for a new lift but haven't found one we like yet. Hope that helps!
Good news: the Savadicar grab handle tray has been given a secondary model for the 2024 models (the 2023 and older model is slightly too long for the 24 slot). Make sure you get the right model year for your vehicle!
Great point! When I made this video I didn't see they had the tray for the redesigned Jeep and assumed it was in the works. Thank you for mentioning that it is out now!
Where can I get the trail badges? I can’t find them anywhere
The trail badges are through the Jeep Badge of Honor App. If you have a Trail Rated Jeep (doesn't even have to be a Wrangler) then you can sign up for free and start collecting badges by checking in to the trails on the app! It's super cool and a way to have "bragging rights" when using your 4x4 for wheeling instead of mall crawling (;
@@overlandzam thank you sir!
Can you talk about that roof rack?
Will work on it! We have some big things coming in terms of racks in the near future 🤔😁
Public service announcement about the grab bar tray. Anything in that tray could fly at your passenger's face at 200 MPH if the passenger air bag deploys.
Yes it really should go without saying that anything above the line of the grab tray could be a projectile in the case of an accident which has been mentioned a few times already here in the comments. Thanks for the PSA, hope it doesn’t get lost like the others
Best part of this video was Amanda lol
She’s definitely better to look at
All items are good but there are so many cheaper options for all items and same quality. I mean 60 bucks for plastic film, 8" of plastic film. That is INSANE!! They make glass protectors for much less
Hey there fast fed! Thanks for the comment and the support! For the most part, we find the products we use to be the best in class for the price point/look/and quality. Yes, there are similar items at similar prices, we feel these are the better quality in their respective category. The only thing I agree with is the price point on the screen protector- however ScreenProTech's product includes a dash cluster protectant film (haven't found a different company doing that) and film that eliminates preexisting scratches on the screen. If we are talking about protection over the infotainment screen only-yes there are other, cheaper options for sure!
@@overlandzam True...so I'd rather not even have the tray there, just to be "extra" safe. No "Pilot Princess" in my Jeep (Gladiator) as I almost never have a passenger. My phone is on my belt and my sunglasses neatly clip onto my CB radio's (installed overhead) microphone wire. Don't keep anything in the cup-holders except, well, cups and napkins...unless I go in to the dealership's Service Dept and put the key-fob into its slot (so EVERYONE knows where to find the key-fob). ;-) "Jeep Wave" -- BR
The grab handle tray is not a smart idea , nothing like an airbag exploding and putting your phone through your skull
Don't put your phone there
Save your money. Jeeps have to many problems. My mechanic told me to avoid the line and he's amazing.
A subjective statement. The Wrangler line has a very solid foundation with engines that are known to be reliable and last. I'll admit, the newer engines Jeep has made have issues but you can thank the EPA for forcing a company to change based on fuel efficiency instead of longevity. Most engines in the Wrangler are also seen in Dodge and RAM vehicles so if you're avoiding Jeep make sure you avoid those too.
Best thing to do is not buy a jeep.
Spoken like a fake Punisher 😉
@overlandzam hey don't get mad at me I have a jeep too. Worst vehicle I've ever owned.
Definitely not mad- all in good fun. What Jeep do you have? We own a 2010 JK sport and ‘22 JLUR and love them both
@overlandzam 2018 jl rubicon 4 door. Had tons of issues from recalls, to death wobble, 700$ stop start batt going out all kinds of stuff. The jeep community is so toxic its insane. People are quik to call your jeep a mall crawler. But then also quik to leave you behind on the trail. If I could do it over I'd skip buying a jeep, isn't worth the money and hassle.
That’s why you never buy the first model year of a new vehicle. I had a ‘15 and now own a ‘23 and have had zero issues
Oh no fingerprints on your infotainment scree!!! dude has to be a post fiat Jeep owner in all my days of driving Jeeps I never thought the day would come when someone makes a video on Jeep mods and comes up with this list.. i didn’t make it past the screen mod . I should have known after the first mod he recommended for the hood. people put the rubber duckies and car wax down and use your Jeep. If you wanna pretty luxury four-wheel-drive vehicle get a rover
I’m not sure how wanting your vehicle to look good for a long time is such a bad thing 😂 Learned stick on a YJ, TJ growing up, first Jeep was a JK and bought a JL for our travels/off-roading trips. Plenty of trail rash, pinstripes, and chunks of wheel missing on our “pretty” jeep
Weird that you care how people want their vehicle to look
