I have a new 2024 Wrangler High Altitude and I’m adding items that I’m buying through Extreme Terrain. I purchased the a 50” LED bar and Cube lights from Rough Country. My next order will be for the low / high snorkel and what I’m on the fence about is a bumper with a Winch and if it’s really worth all that money for one. They are fairly costly items, and I’m unsure if it’s really something that is critical and required for off-roading. I’m new to this world so unsure about its practicality for what they cost.

If you’re off-roading, you want a winch. I’d call it a must have.

Naw bruh, lights and a snorkel are must haves. That winch seems useless to me too.

I see so many toyotas with snorkels around here. They must all be former african safari tour vehicles or something. That or maybe its part of an options package from toyota. Want led lights? Comes with a snorkel and trashyroo.

At least the trash bag is useful, Ive almost bought one so many times but theres just no good place on the JL that doesnt block the rear view camera or drags the dirt.

i get its useful on the trail but i see guys daily driving around with them like theyre showing off like theyre rich and they can afford a trashyroo and you can only afford an amazon bag. They look stupid imo. Fine for the trail/camping but for petes sake take the stupid thing off when you go to work on monday.

Oh yea it would be strictly a trail thing cause I do occasionally see some trash at our local park and being a fed run place last thing I want is it shut down.

Of the items you listed already purchased, the winch is the only one you need off-roading.
