So I budgeted $500 to add some simple mods to my JK before I did anything major like armor, tires, and suspension. Here's a couple things I was thinking of getting. Any input would be appreciated.


Rugged Ridge Front Grab Handles
$25

Rugged Ridge Rear Grab Handles
$15

Quadratec 2" Receiver Hitch Quadpack
$80

That's $120. Things I'm considering: Floor protection, Hothead Headliners, Tuffy CCW drawers.

 

How about...

-Rugged Ridge Cowl Armor $45

-Rugged Ridge light guards (headlights, side markers, turn signals)

-All weather mats/trunk mat

-Rugged Ridge dash multi-mount phone kit $40

-13" AntennaX

-Mopar door entry guards

 

Going by the headliners I'd say you just run a hard top. If you ever take it off, a Spiderweb Shade is a must @ $90.

 

Grab Handles are a good idea. Check out the paracord handles that are available for sale or you can custom make your own.

Look at the many mesh shade tops. I run the spiderwebshade.

I run a Bestop drawer. Very useful.

Also look for used rubi rails.

If you spend any time off road start collecting recovery gear.

 

Save the 120$ for a used soft top.

 

If you don't already have one. A CB and stick

 

$120 for my Midland 1001 cb, 5' firestik, 18' coax, teraflex antenna mount, and firestik antenna stud.

I managed to salvage a few things from Black Sunshine when I totaled it. I kept all my recovery gear minus the winch (D-Rings, etool, snatch strap, etc), all my tools and first aid gear, and a few other odds and ends. They wouldn't let me part it out completely or I wouldn't have gotten what I did from the insurance company.

I have a Cobra 75 but it's NEVER worked right. I got it to work once when I first installed it on my old JK and the it just stopped. Another thing I have that I can't use that ticks me off is my Superchips FlashPaq. It's still VIN locked to the totaled Jeep and their customer support is absolutely atrocious. Not that I could use it on THIS JK but I could sell/trade it to someone else for something useful.

 

+1 for the entry guards
