Top 5 Jeep JK Parts Under $500 | Throttle Out

ExtremeTerrain’s New Video Breaks Down Affordable Mods

 

PAOLI, Pa. (October 14th, 2020) – Off-road parts retailer, ExtremeTerrain (XT) releases a new video outlining the best budget Jeep JK modifications.  All the parts in the video come in at under $500. Suggested items range from armor to recovery and even suspension. The video is hosted by XT’s Merideth Evasew as part of its continuing “Throttle Out” YouTube series.

 

The first suggestion is the Mammoth 2 in. front/1 in. rear leveling kit with end links. For just $100, JK owners can get a defined stance and extra performance for their rig. When it comes to an aggressive look and a ton of functionality, Merideth suggests the Barricade Trail Force HD rear bumper. The heavy-duty steel construction provides rear-end protection and can accommodate future mods. Next up, is a set of Barricade rocker steps. Accessibility, protection, and a heavy-duty look come in at the $350 mark. Still keeping with the Barricade line, Merideth suggests a mid-width front bumper to boost protection and clearance. The final pick is a 9500 lb. Smittybilt winch. The added confidence comes at the $400 mark, with a steel line and wireless remote.

Customer Build Spotlight | 2016 JK Wrangler

ExtremeTerrain’s New Video Series Fuels the Addiction to Vehicle Mods

 

PAOLI, Pa. (September 29, 2020) – ExtremeTerrain has launched its “Customer Builds” video spotlight series with an up-close look at a 2016 JK Wrangler 4-door owned by Will Cooper from California. The goal of the series is to inspire customers with concrete ideas for their next mod. Will’s fully customized project vehicle does not disappoint. The video is hosted by Merideth Evasew in a one-on-one virtual chat format with vehicle footage and information to supplement Will’s build page on ExtremeTerrain.com.

After a brief intro, Merideth gets right into the interview of the 2016 JK which she describes as “built to the nine, with a ton of armor, performance mods, and lighting.” As the virtual walkaround begins, Will confesses that his project vehicle has grown into a “fun addiction” with more changes on the way. His mods started with a DV8 heat dispersion hood and on from there to the inner fenders, outer fenders, and frame.

The customization continues to the inside where Will answers some questions about his Alpine head unit and camera system, as well as the inner roll bar he added for looks and safety. Will has loaded up his JK with a ton of accessories including an adjustable Body Armor roof rack, fastback hard top, and over 30 lights that give his rig a one-of-a-kind look.  Merideth and Will go over a number of other specific modifications, wrapping up the virtual interview with a look at his current lift kit and his plans to go even bigger.

ExtremeTerrain will continue to feature customer build profiles with more videos in the making. Will’s 2016 JK Wrangler helps customers imagine what their stock Jeep can become with a little help from XT’s extensive aftermarket parts lineup. Like Will, customers can expect XT to offer personalized support from answering fitment questions to sending diagrams and instructions as needed. More information on Will’s Jeep including his parts list can be found on XT’s customer builds page.

Hard Top Shopping | New Video

ExtremeTerrain Breaks Down the Options for Jeep Wrangler Owners

 

PAOLI, Pa. (September 16th, 2020) – ExtremeTerrain (XT) newest video helps Jeep owners narrow down their options when shopping for a hard top. XT host, Meredith Evasew reviews three popular options showing the hard tops installed on a JK model. Each of the styles highlighted in the video are also available for other generations including YJ, TJ and, JL.

Customers in the market for a more traditional, square-back design will want to consider a one-piece hard top. The one-piece is a cost-effective option for Wrangler owners who don’t need or want all the extra features common to other hard tops. Meredith highlights the fully carpeted interior liner of the black, one-piece hard top which provides insulation as well as sound control inside the cab area. Next up, is the two-piece hard top. The front panel can easily be removed for open-air driving. Meredith shows the DV8 Off-Road Ranger Hard Top installed on the JK, drawing attention to the carpeted interior, shock-assisted rear window, tinted windows, and back light. Finally, Wrangler owners who are really looking to stand out will want to consider the fast back/slant back top. What the angled back takes away in terms of cargo space, it makes up for in the way of handling and efficiency. The black, two-piece slant back hard top shown in the video also comes with the carpeted interior, shock-assisted rear windows, and a removable front panel. This option is also available to two-door owners however, the slant will not be as exaggerated as the four-door.

XT’s new hard top review video keeps Wrangler owners rolling with all the right information they need to make the best choice. The video has been added to XT’s hard tops page where customers can check out Wrangler profiles and navigate to product pages for a full selection of hard tops and other quality aftermarket parts and accessories.

RedRock High-Clearance Cat-Back Exhaust | Review & Install

Upgrade Tutorial for 2018-2020 Wrangler JL Models

 

PAOLI, Pa. (September 9th, 2020) – ExtremeTerrain’s (XT) newest video is a review & installation of the high-clearance, cat-back exhaust from RedRock 4×4. The step-by-step tutorial shows 2018+ 3.6L Jeep Wrangler JL owners how to upgrade the sound and performance of their stock exhaust. The video is now included as part of XT’s in-depth exhaust tech guide.

Hosted by XT’s Meredith Evasew, the video begins with sound clips from both inside and outside the vehicle. With a 4/5 on the loudness meter, the RedRock exhaust will increase the volume and deepen the tone, while still being bearable inside the cab area. Meredith recommends this high-clearance system to “to anybody who’s doing a lot of rock crawling, and, again, wants to minimize any damage to their exhaust and wants to keep everything up and out of the way.” She explains that the 409 stainless construction makes this an affordable option over a higher quality 304 stainless. Even so, it will outperform the factory exhaust and provide years of use with proper care.

The installation takes an average of 2 hours to complete. Meredith outlines the tools needed before taking the viewer through the entire process. After removing the factory exhaust, she stops for a side-by-side comparison to the RedRock cat-back exhaust, summarizing the key benefits of the upgrade. Meredith continues with the full installation of the new exhaust wrapping up with a clear visual of the newly installed hi-tuck system from all angles.

The RedRock cat-back review and install video is a welcome addition to XT’s exhaust tech guide. The guide addresses the ins-and-outs of exhaust upgrades covering all the basics including high clearance exhaust systems, dual-tip systems, exhaust spacers, and more.

ExtremeTerrain Releases New Jeep Doors Video

Breaks Down 4 Popular Door Options for all Gens

PAOLI, Pa. (August 11th, 2020) – ExtremeTerrain (XT) launches a new video aimed at helping Jeep JK, YJ, TJ, and JL owners in their quest for the best aftermarket door. XT host Sara Riordan, breaks down 4 of the most common door options, outlining the features and key considerations for each one. Sara demonstrates each door on a Jeep Wrangler JK, explaining that all four options are available for other gens on ExtremeTerrain.com.

Sara begins with the first option, the half door.  As the name implies, the lower half is generally of solid construction, while the window area is left open to the air.  This popular door is for Jeep owners looking to change out their standard doors for a more classic look.  Next up is the tube door. This low-profile door is ideal for those who like to go doorless, but want a door with extra protection and substance. The third option is the trail door or adventure door. Sara describes this door as “one step up from the tube doors, with added protective features for those…who want a little more standing between them and the trail.”  And finally, the full fabric door is a 2-piece lightweight door that’s easy to install. The half-door can be used alone or along with the window section for a bit more protection. Unlike the other doors, the fabric doors can be pulled off mid-trail and stored in the back of the Jeep thanks to their small storage footprint. 

Armed with a T50 socket, a ratchet, and some know-how from ExtremeTerrain.com, Jeep owners have what they need to swap out their factory doors for one of the four popular categories outlined in the new video.  2-door Wrangler owners are also covered since most options sell the front and rear doors separately.  For those looking to beef up their doors, go for a unique look, or become one with the trail, XT’s new video promises to guide them through the research stage with ease.
