What is the ONE Jeep Accessory every Jeep owner needs?

Thanks for the reply. Here's my next dumb question: Can you run in safari mode with the windshield down? (I, too, would like to keep the sun off my head!)

Not a dumb question at all...but you can't run safari mode with windshield down because the soft top needs to be secured to the windshield frame.

For me it’s:
-shortie antenna
-neoprene cover for center armrest (stock vinyl scortches in sun)
-basic recovery kit (tow strap, kinetic strap, D-rings, soft shackles, gloves, etc)
-basic tool kit inc. flashlight(s)

The last two aren’t really Jeep mods so I was okay exceeding the “one thing” list

Hey Chris, any suggestions for the arm rest? (ie brand that you like etc). I need!

I know you weren't asking me, but this has proven to be a great arm rest at a great price:

Amazon.com: Koverz Neoprene Center Console Cover Armrest Pad with Keyhole for Jeep Wrangler JL JLU Gladiator JT Sahara Sport Rubicon Unlimited 2018 2019 2020 2021 - Black | See Install Notes & Video: Automotive

Excellent fit on the center console, allows access to the key hole, and matches my Rough Country seat covers perfectly. Highly recommend.

Does this thing screw to the dash or is it a suction type of thing?

New Jeep owner here (well... almost... whenever this build starts/finishes)... question:

What is the ONE Jeep accessory that EVERY one of you can’t live without? What is a must get right out of the gate?

I immediately bought front seat covers (Qik Cover) they are awesome. I dont have to worry about mud, dogs, etc. They are washable and look great. https://qikcover.com/
Back seat I got a big waterproof slip on cover, so we can go out on muddy adventures with our dog and I wont worry!
Next up is rock rails and winch for my front bumper.

I needed a jump-start pack twice to get my bloody JL started after the ESS failed and the thing just refused to start. Jeep dealer in Hawkes Bay reckoned they'd fixed the problem, but they lied. Took it all the way back to Wellington at my expense, and they reckon they've fixed it. Remains to be seen. Keeping the jump-pack in the JL just in case.

The Bolt system is pretty good, keeps the hood from flapping too.

Easy install if you have a rivet gun...

The rivet gun needs to be large enough to process 1/4" rivets, so the most common hand riveter will be too small.

Bolt provides steel rivets with their hood locks, too, so be sure that the relevant, larger rivet gun is capable of managing them. This rivet gun, for example, can safely handle 1/4" rivets only if they're [softer] aluminum.

Just an FYI from my own experience installing the Bolt hood lock.

Oh My God straps (both sides)
Balls big as Church Bells
Change your Hood Clamps ( some hoods bounce at high speeds)
Get a Tazer
Husky floor coverings ( mud and crap traps)
I'll be back. You got a big list...

Yeah, you need a fairly good rivet gun to install it. As long as you have that, takes maybe 15 minutes. One of the easiest installs I’ve ever done.

Some kind of stick. I use a long cooking chopstick. To fish out keys and other things dropped between the seat and arm rest.

What door guards does everyone like?

Rugged Ridge covers the most, looks good, and is priced good.
