If you do a lot of night driving go with the headlights.

Superchips, On-Board Air, Recovery Gear, and Snorkel. If you can only pick one... What will benefit you the most depends upon where you drive the most.

I'm in a pretty similar situation with a lightly modded JKU Rube.

I have and like:
  • ARB On-board air
  • CB, cooltech mount, etc.
  • Hard top thumb-screws
  • Dominion Hi-Lift mount (w/ hi-lift)
  • Dirt-bagz storage bags
  • Floor mats (weathertech)
  • Springtail tailgate organizer
  • Springtail shift hump MOLLE mount
  • XHD Bumper (Stubby config)
  • 10K winch
  • Tuffy under-seat drawer

Note that this is just bolted on stuff. I have other recovery gear/tools/etc and I've also done a few things like wiring up extra DC outlets/wiring in my own GPS mount, et cetera.

I want, and plan to get fairly soon
  • Dual battery
  • Snorkel
  • Some sort of security deck (probably DIY)

I want, but only slightly and can wait until the tires are gone:
  • Fenders
  • Bigger Tires
  • Minimal height lift
  • Roof (safari) rack


I have and question the value of:
  • FlashPaq

Oops, yeah, forgot the belly armor. I've been debating just the basics or going full on but that's on my short list too.

Wife radar? lmao thats the first time ive ever heard that. Glad im still in highschool and dont have a wife lol. Id suggest getting the thing that would benefit your jk the most. Front bumper or snorkel would be a good suggestion, or something like a sound system mabe a touchscreen deck? or you could go with some good seat covers. Id suggest superhides seat covers, been having some in the silverado for 3 years and never had any problem with them. They never faded or ripped, and it makes the truck look great. My buddy has cabelas seat covers in his truck, that would be my second choice. or a third choice is walmart brand. They work good, but dont fit your seat too well

This is very similar to my plans! I really want to do the bumper and winch... I think thats gotta be the next step. Thats the only thing that scares me is getting stuck without a winch
