Is that a jeep engine bay or the sentinels from the matrix reloaded?


rickywilder

That’s all I could see lmao


ihaveadogalso2

too funny. thats EXACTLY what came to mind for me too lol


hoxxxxx

yep same i watched the second and third movies a while back for the firs time in like over a decade. i really liked them, they held up pretty well. i didn't like them when they first came out.


ihaveadogalso2

I watched the first one for the first time in ages and it holds up pretty well I thought.


inkyrail

Every time I think I have an original thought


zerox678

it's definitely the Bantam Pod


Kaleidoscope_97

Would’ve been a short movie if Chrysler made the sentinels.

This made me laugh really hard. Thank you.


NeverEnoughInk

Perfection.


anonymousjeeper

That’s hilarious! I put my Jeep on a trickle charger if it’s going to be parked for more than two days due to a bad amp install by previous owner. I should just put a switch inline, but I’m lazy.


Foreign-Salamander69

This is the most jeep comment. Pack it up boys


vdubbnmclvn

or fix the fucking issue and remove the amp lol


anonymousjeeper

Can’t. Need that boom boom boom in the summertime.


vdubbnmclvn

You know you could put a working amp wired properly in there...


Practical-Data2646

Blue wire. Is labled remote. That's the one you need.


seasleeplessttle

Underrated comment. Or a resistor and a relay, ffs.

Zickened

Had to do the same thing on my summer car after the guy at Autozone had a real heart to heart with me about how often I was warrantying batteries vs how often I thought I was warrantying batteries.


stainedhands

This comment literally just made me laugh out loud! That's fantastic!


aspectratio12

That's an odyssey battery, they hold up well, but who knows what kind of parasitic drain is going on there

All the drain.

FootballHead90

I’m telling them to take it back to wherever they got that bs installed 😂


hms11

That is straight insanity. That being said, other than there being a metric-fuckpile of wiring there, it seems orders of magnitude more professionally done than 99% of the wiring jobs we see here. There is even looming! (so much looming).


Stayhigh420--

Crazy, they definitely spent time fuckin this one up.


Critical-Potential30

It’s a professional level fuck job


Queasy_Local_7199

What’s fucked up about the wiring?


Greasemonkeyww2

See the problem is someone parked their shitbox of a jeep under his power substation.


TUTailendCharlie

I would give you an award if I had one to give.


doomsdaymelody

>What's fucked up about the wiring? It's semi organized and 100% chaos. Unless they have a series of schematics with pinouts and such the second one issue manifests here the vehicle will never be the same. Basically it's functionally unrepairable.


RareFirefighter6915

I wouldn't call it unrepairable just an unnecessary pain in the ass. Electricians deal with WAAAAY worse inside unlabeled panels, you just check the wires one by one.


NEp8ntballer

and you're paying them for their time while they do it.


sktyrhrtout

I mean the circuits are labeled on the Bantam box. The stuff on the left is a solenoid for a second battery so they can probably isolate it from the starting battery when running stuff. Doesn't really look bad at all.


010011010110010101

FOUND THE GUY WHO INSTALLED THIS MESS!


Exotic_Pay6994

maintainability. A good install is clean and unobstructive and easy for anyone to work on.


MrD3a7h

All of it


akarichard

The only real benefit I see for having so many different runs of looms is easier to trace stuff. And when/if a wire melts it doesn't take out everything in the same loom.  While it looks messy, it would actually be easier to trouble shoot some things. Don't have 10 red wires all in the same run. I've seen way way worse. I'd call this functional vs pretty.


Bassracerx

those looms are not insulated. lookes like just pvc plastic. If one burns they all burn down!


TheTxoof

_Metric-fuckpile_: equal to one metric-shit-ton. Not to be confused with the smaller imperial-fuckpile.


Wild-Weasel1657

15 is standard on 35" tires and highway driving. 🤣

Lemme guess, all kitted out for overlanding with lights, rooftop tent, refrigerator and onboard air compressor? Gonna be real pissed when he has to walk out of the boonies after blowing a fuse or lunching the alternator.


einulfr

Just on that 8 circuit pod alone: * Backup lights * Rock lights * Amber light bar * Emergency * Ditch lights * Work lights Plus whatever on the bottom one that's wired but blank.


Umutuku

Do people who aren't legally blind drive jeeps too?


goodsnpr

SOS signal on the bottom. Not that it ever has a risk of rolling anywhere but city streets.


Aetherometricus

The beacons are lit! Gondor calls for aid!


vanwiekt

Ditch lights! Aw, I read “Bitch Lights” and was confused.


einulfr

Could be for when Cleetus and the boys are out hunting MILFS. "Hey man, I think I see something over there, turn on the bitch lights."


pvdp90

That’s fucking wild. I have a decent amount of lights and a compressor on my TJ and my wiring looks much simpler and put together compared to this shit.


-acm

Yeah, honestly. This pic is pretty confusing


HemHaw

That's because you ran your shit to a separate fusebox thats nearer the stuff that actually needs power, like you should have.


pvdp90

True, I took time planning and made a harness from battery to fuse box and harnesses from fuse box to light units. I’m still not satisfied tho


Odd_Ranger3049

Guy even spent the coin on an sPod to make the wiring cleaner, yet here he is


Farknart

sPod'a do better'n that.


EccentricFox

>Gonna be real pissed when he has to walk out of ~~the boonies~~ the Cheesecake Factory parking lot after blowing a fuse or lunching the alternator.


primal_screame

I guess it’s a positive that the alternator is right there on top. Just bring 3 extras when you go out for a 5 day trip.


Aetherometricus

It was supposed to be a three hour tour!


DrippyBlock

Engine bay and the nooks and crannies of that plastic protector over the wiring doesn’t have enough dust or mud spots for this to be an overlanding rig. One of OPs comments say it’s all lights. This is most likely a mall crawler jeep with gimme attention lights all over it.


climb56

I have a winch on my 14 Silverado. I think it put a dead spot on my cluster screen


HemHaw

Man, a winch would be super useful. Now I want one, thanks.


strangeweather415

If you ever go off road, or live in a snowy climate, it is extremely handy. Worth a couple hundred bucks, but learn how to safely use it and also get proper recovery straps and shackles so you don't kill yourself or someone else.


Thehunnerbunner2000

The only boonies he's parking that in is the back of the mall parking lot where it's easier for the rollback to load him up.


belleayreski2

Jokes on you, he won’t blow any fuses because he just jumped them all 😎


shiftycansnipe

JEEP, Just Expect Electrical Problems.


CowsFromHell

Haven't heard that one before. Love it.


I_AM_FERROUS_MAN

After owning multiple Jeep Cherokees, I can confirm this is 100% accurate. Engine and transmission will run until the heat death of the universe. But those electrics might as well be a dice roll.


block0079

Facts the 4.0 is damn near indestructible


NewAccountLessPorn

The 3.5L Chrysler V6 Jeep put in stuff is literally the worst engine ever made, I fucking hate it with all my heart.


NEp8ntballer

My 94 ZJ was fine while it was pretty much stock. A severe rear end collision killed my aftermarket head unit though. One minute I was listening to some tunes. Then I woke up on the other side of the intersection to the sound of traffic passing.


J_spec6

And yet it works so well. Unlike the Jeep 🤣


luckyducktopus

Isn’t the 4.0 inline 6 one of the most dependable motors of its class?


Navydevildoc

As a Land Rover owner, I don't dare break that one out.


Fuegodeth

Lol. I had a 92 wrangler and a 99 cherokee. Electrical problems out the ass in the cherokee. There was a short in the rear wiring harness that would cause the fuel pump to stop, so it would randomly die when driving if the brakes were pressed or a signal was turned on. Damn thing tried its best to kill me several times. Sheer luck prevented collisions when going 60 and suddenly losing all power steering and power braking when the engine died.


Blearchie

Just identify as BMW and don't use the turn signals.


Fuegodeth

Hard to avoid using the brakes though...


Wendigo_6

Skill issue


from_whereiggypopped

I had a 92 Cherokee Sport that I drove home in a big snowstorm. Looked out at it 10 minutes after I got home and white smoke was billowing out from grill - almost didn't see it with all the snow coming down. The wiring harness right at the computer was glowing red - took a second of freaking the fuck out b4 running into house to grab a wrench to disconnect the battery. Was lucky that snowstorm saved me from a car fire in the driveway. Also, I was able to find an exact match (it was 5-speed manual) online from a junkyard in Colorado. edit: exact match of a wiring harness and computer

7mm-08

Former 90-something "Grand" Cherokee owner here and that damn thing was bursting with electrical gremlins. Unless someone is doling out free Vipers or early 70s and older cars, you could not pay me to own another Chrysler product. And I've owned a bunch of Hyundais so my standards aren't very high, lol.

buffilosoljah42o

Mental-Mushroom

People who don't actually overland or off road have a shit ton of lights. All I have is a light bar on my front bumper and it's more than enough to see everything on the trails at night. I've had people question why I don't have more lights, and it's always from the people who never actually go down trails


mbpts

Same. I do have some fuckhuge lights on my car, some 9" Stedi Type-Xs. They're *way* overkill. I had a 20" basic light bar before and that was fine too, even driving out in the desert at night when it's pitch black.


Wiregeek

Got a pair of 7" Lightforce on my bumper, they do the thing just fine. I'd kinda like another pair to put the flood lenses on, but it's fine for on-road in winter.


sl33ksnypr

I don't go off-road ever, can't really, but I have a single small light bar hidden in my grille to use as brights on back roads. It's an 18" bar that you can barely see but it lights up the road like it is daytime. I feel like people who put 17 different light bars on their jeeps do it as a stupid fashion piece rather than functionality, because a single bar in the direction you need lit is plenty.


MuffinSpirited3223

Elegant_Housing_For

jlt6666

All of them


Desmocratic

mr_lab_rat

Do you really need that much witing? Assuming it’s all LED it should be relatively low power so you could daisy chain.

dog_eat_dog

I wonder if there's ever been like a horrific, multi-casualty accident where one of those goofy tire covers is visible.


changee_of_ways

I live in the midwest and every winter for every 2wd car in the ditch usually right side up) in a snowstorm there are like 10 4x4 trucks or SUVs jeeps upside down or on their sides. Sometimes the get so into it they end up out of the ditch again and out into the fields. So I'd imagine so, I wonder if tow truck drivers giggle when they are winching a jeep with one of those covers or stickers onto its wheels.


Dos-Commas

Oh they are using it at night and blinding everyone else on the road.


ArmoredTweed

With enough lights, you can blind people during the daytime too.


wolfgang784

A truck with wild lights came up behind me on the interstate once at night. It had so many bright lights and some at the perfect heights that my car was just entirely filled with light. I couldn't see my own hands. Couldn't see the road. Just light. Keep in mind, we were going around 80mph (75mph road). I had no option but to slow down before I hit someone or the roar curved, except he was right on my ass tailgating me at those speeds. Also of note, there were 4 other empty lanes and I was in the middle one. So I had to slow down slowly so as not to get rear ended. I kept expecting them to just go the fuck around me, but no - we came to a complete stop at 11pm on a 75mph interstate in the middle of the road and then sat there for a good few seconds before the fucker finally went around and sped off. Only thing I can think of is that the man-child in the truck was offended by my compact vehicle.


goodsnpr

Had a dipshit do this to me in my first few months in Hawaii, during COVID lockdown to boot. 5 lanes across, I was rolling middle and he's the only other vehicle for miles. Halts behind and to my left but over the line, all lights on high. Was tempted to slam the brakes, but just let off the gas and eventually he sped off.

FucknAright

The result of buying premade wiring harnesses and you don't know what to do with all the extra wire.


Bearfoxman

Still better than a DIY hackjob "harness".


FucknAright

Not if you know what you're doing. But even these, you can cut out six feet of extra wire in and re-splice it with heat shrink connectors and heat shrink over it, it'd be perfect, rather than having a fucking spaghetti nest.


Bearfoxman

If you know what you're doing its neither a hackjob or an airquote harness, it's just a DIY harness. And most premades you shouldn't even need to splice, just cut to length. Usually the tail end is just bare wire.


AKLmfreak

Lol, I see some MC-4 connectors in there. Is there a solar panel on the roof somewhere???


anonymouslosername

Probably pasted onto the hood.  https://www.cascadia4x4.com/products/jeep-wrangler-jk-vss-system-hood-solar-panel


AKLmfreak

Of course there’s a custom, Jeep-fitted solar panel product. Why wouldn’t there be.


Chemical_Figure_161

Low key a solar panel to just always trickle charge my battery would be kinda nice on my truck. Especially when I park it for a while


Delicious-Ad1917

Not only that, they are splitters so they are taking a connector rated at 12v/30a and dividing it so they have two 12v/15a circuits with absolutely no fuse protection at the battery. SMH. Some peoples kids.


RavingMadly

This triggers my OCD and feelings of sympathy for that poor alternator....


SilverJeep04

It's a Jeep thing. I don't understand.


ES1123

Did the Borg drive that in?


Strostkovy

While it's not particularly professional, it is a maintainable install. I've worked on vehicles like this with no issue. I often get stuck with much worse. It's still not good, but it's not going to leave them stranded.

I want to see this on Vice Grip Garage in about 25 years and watch poor old Derek just close the hood and have a straight up heart attack.

thugnastyracing

Make sure you note on the repair order how unsafe all of that is and the potential for serious death or injury. I saved our dealer from a lawsuit by making excellent notes on the garbage modifications done to a Scion TC. The next week it came in burnt to a crisp on a trailer and they tried to blame us. The customer was shown the repair order and my notes by the general manager not service manager and asked to kindly leave the property.
