Default Recommended Accessories To Buy For New Jeep Wrangler Owner!

So I just bought my very first Jeep Wrangler. It's the 2013 Saraha Unlimited 4 door in Commando Green. Having just bought it, I'm already chomping at the bit to buy more "stuff" for it.

So I'm wondering??? What are some accessories or things that you veteran Jeep owners just can't live without our would recommend a new owner pick up??

Thanks in advance!!

What are you planning on doing with it?

Regardless of application get an AEV jack base, a MORE Dead pedal, and some hand holds. I prefer the steel ones from MORE over the nylon strap types.

Some of the stuff I already had prepped and ready to go when my Jeep was delivered.

New headlights
Tuffy trunk enclosure
Tuffy underseat lockbox
Wheel locks
Hood lock
Door sill guards
Hotheads
Rear camera
New speakers

Safety, security, and comfort come FIRST IMO.

Tow strap. And a shovel and axe. Or both an axe and saw. Also look into getting a hilift. I've gotten out of more jams with my hi-lift and saw than I have with my winch. Replace the headlights. Either the Truck Lights, or Hella's.

Grab handles and floor mats are great first mods. My floor factory floor mat wore through and grab handles come in handy.

Thanks all! Great suggestions. I've spent more time on the quadratec website than I have spent driving the Jeep!! Endless options.

Agreed - and depending on what seats you have now, there are tons of great options for covers and gear packs. I think the smitty g.e.a.r in black would look sweet with your jeep!

I definitely want to get some seat covers, thanks for the recommendation on kind and brand.

As for my plans with the Jeep... I do plan on using it for some trails and off road. However, it's also my daily driver so I want it to still be a comfortable ride.
