Hi and welcome back to Jeepin for Beginner. So once again my name is Josh and today we actually have something really cool to share with you guys. For those of you who own Wranglers you know that there is very little storage inside these things especially for the little stuff that you don't think about like your sunglasses for example where do you put them when you're not using them. Well thanks to a gift from a friend we actually have a solution to that problem or at least we think we do but it is actually pretty cool so stick around because I think you're going to enjoy this. So welcome back to the channel folks. Today like I said we're going to be talking about increasing just a little bit of the storage inside of your Wrangler. So a friend of mine his name is Mikey he comes with us on a lot of our adventures if you guys have watched those videos you know exactly who he is but anyways he had purchased a I guess you call it a Molly board for his Jeep it realized it didn't fit in his Jeep it was designed for a JK so he gave it to me to give it a shot. This thing is designed to hang on the ceiling and that way you could actually put your little storage units right here especially for sunglasses because that's the biggest thing we fight about my Jeep. Now my biggest issue that I have is I've got all kinds of auxiliary lighting thanks to Code 4 LED and several other companies I love having my aftermarket lights so that being said I have a switch panel that also hangs in the exact same spot that this guy is going to hang. So we got to get a little bit creative on mine to figure out how to not only keep this and install this but to actually make it look pretty good so this might be a little bit of an adventure but let me show you what we got to do to get this thing installed. The Molly board is going to hang basically right here in the center so in order to do this correctly the easiest way is going to be to take the freedom panels off or if you've got the soft top to take the soft top off so you got free access to pretty much everything. Also took the interior trim off and the wiring down that runs to the mirror and to my switch pod so this way it's all nice and open for you. Now the way that this thing is designed is it sets right on the speaker bar back here and then it's going to set right up in here. Now it doesn't come with any directions which is interesting but it does come with a bag of pop rivets. Now I understand why they want to use pop rivets but I don't like things being permanent because if I decide in the future that I don't want it I want to be able to remove it without actually having to make a mess. So I think we're going to take these and just ditch them. Looking at this I think I can use self tapping screws and it'll work just fine so that this way I can actually remove them. But in order to do that we're going to have to drill some pilot holes because we are going into the windshield frame and I don't actually want to break anything. So give me a few minutes, let me get those drilled so we can get the thing installed. So when looking through what I have I did find some nice short self tapping screws that should be perfect for the application of getting this thing hung up there. However if we look at the Molleyboard itself because this was designed for pop rivets this guy is just a little bit too big. So we're going to have to make these holes just a little bit larger so that we can fit this screw in there. All right so even though they're self tapping screws I wanted to drill a pilot hole just to be on the safe side because we are going into the windshield frame. I don't want it skipping around, I don't want it to be off, I don't want to have to do this twice. So let's get a little hole drilled right where the bolt is going to go. So now all we got to do is hang the Molleyboard and fasten it right into place. Nice. All right so now that we've got the front attached on the back we've got two screws that like I said are going to go into your sound bar. The sound bar this section of it is a hardened plastic. I don't think we need a pilot hole in order to get them in. I think our self tapping screws are going to work just fine. So once you measure to make sure that this is center on my Jeep I'm sure we'd be like this on pretty much every Jeep is from here to the inside of the roll bar on both sides is actually exactly 17 inches on both sides. So we know that this is perfectly center so all we got to do is just fasten it down. Now the truth of the matter, they don't have to be heavy duty screws because this is actually on top where the weight is actually going to press down on this unit. Plus with the freedom panels on the hard top back on top of it you're never going to see them anyway. So this is pretty much perfect. The strength comes up front which is why we need those bigger self tapping screws up front. There. Actually that's pretty stout. I could probably hang off of that. Plus I have a feeling that there's going to be more than an over on top of it for paperwork. Maybe we could put some of our maps and stuff up here. See even more storage than I thought we were going to have. Okay so now that we actually have it hung the one thing I got to do is figure out how to get my switch pod to hang back up here. Originally that hung off of the same hook that the hard top sets into. So I think we're going to have to move it back here. Maybe I'm not sure. But I definitely don't want to lose it. So this might be where we got to get creative. So let me grab it and let's see what we got to do to get it attached to our new center piece. I don't know. I wonder if I should do it that way. I don't know. It's not exactly perfect. What do you think? All right so it's a little off label use. It wasn't exactly designed to go this way. But if you look I got the same hanger to hang up on the mulley and then we just use self-tapping screws in the back to make this basically part of the assembly. So you know what I think I could live with that. So now the whole reason we did this is so we got a place to put some sunglasses. So let me grab the little pouch so we can hang our sunglasses up here. All right so the whole reason we did this was so that we had some spot for some extra storage. Although I do plan on getting some more little baggies along the way. I did already have one for my sunglasses which was the whole point we're doing this. So see if we can get this to just pop up here. Let's go from this one. Snap it in place and look at that. Now when it's dark outside or I don't need them I've got a place for my sunglasses. Oh damn if that ain't pretty cool. All right well let's get the freedom panels back on and let's make sure everything still fits back in place so that we can call this a finished installation. Well just about pretty damn close. All right guys so just as I suspected there's actually enough room on top of it so we can put our maps and stuff up there which is we're coming really handy. I'm actually really excited about this. The switch pod not really designed for this and it does block my mirror just a little bit but you know what that's okay because I have a replacement mirror for a future video. You guys are going to enjoy that. But meanwhile we've got a few more accessories we want to get hung from this but this will definitely increase the storage inside the Jeep. So tell you what let me know what you think. Put it down in the comments down below and let me know if this is something that interests you or maybe you've come up with a better solution for storage inside of your Jeep.
