I agree with the trek armor. Worth every penny. Awesome quality, the pockets and molle much more versatile than I thought.

You can send some to me

Seriously though, you should figure out what you want/need the most. You mentioned on-board air or doors. Have you found yourself in a situation where you need on-board air frequently? If so then do that, if it's a luxury and you could use the doors more then do that. You will probably get 10,000 responses to this question everything from rock sliders to linexing the tub, or seat covers, but ultimately it's what you want/need.

You can probably do the doors and on-board air for that 1k though.

Winch is a need for most offroaders at some point...for me I want protection. Think about EVO rock sliders...mine will be installed next week!

Thanks but i should have been a little more thorough i have:
2012 JKU Rubicon
AEV 3.5 DS
35" KM2 on AEV Pintlers
Warn 9.5ti
AEV Bumper
Linex-d interior
Seat Covers
Head rest DVD

I used to wheel my 06 Rubi very hard but know bought this because of the kids and having more room. I have tried to build a capable Mall Crawler so i can take off with the boys from time to time but most often be a DD.


Leaning between
Element doors
OBA
Rear bumper tire carrier (Just moved mine up and works good)
