Default Wrangler must haves?

Ordered my first jeep wrangler and it should be in within the next few weeks. I have been looking at all kinds of extras for it, not mods but more like soft window protectors, freedom top storage bag... Things I would use to keep my new baby looking new. I would like to order some of this stuff but am never sure what to wisely spend my money on. Any seasoned veterans out there with any good suggestions on must haves?

Checked out the index sticky in the write-ups section, some cool write-ups but not much on window storage options or other accessories someone might definitely want.

try these; Lange Paint Saver(plastic membrane to protect edges of tub), entry guards, Clover Patch Inc. widow roll, Husky Liners floor mats, and drill your mirrors( there is a thread or 100 on that), oh and seat covers( i got the Smittybilt neoprene-bought fronts and got rears free). Hope that helps.

Large bank account or high credit limit.

Seriously, Husky floor liners.

That's becoming clearer and clearer.

It seems obvious to me that I will definitely need something to protect the freedom covers if I remove them but have them in the vehicle. I guess the same holds true for the soft top. The side windows don't seem to be the problem, it seems to be the rear window. I wasn't that thrilled with the storage roll that allows you to roll up all the soft windows and store them off the back (above the lowered soft top). That just seemed extrmemly accessible to theft. There was a thread where a guy made a holder out of PVC to hold the windows and store them behind the back seat, but at the end of the thread a couple of guys showed concern over possibly damaging the gasket in the rear window and then the thread ended, so I'm not sure if that is a good idea. I find it hard to believe Jeep hasn't come up with something or some way to store that back window in the jeep without damaging it or making it possible for someone to easily unstrap it and walk off with it.
