That’s mine in the picture, and if your advice is as bad as your sense of humor you can refrain. Haha
Seriously, great looking Jeep. Would have bought that color if it was available when I ordered. There are a million this you can add. When you are driving around what do you need?

Excited to become a first time Jeep owner. I’m sure this has been asked before, but I’m interested in some new opinions. What are some things I should do/add to a new Jeep?
She's a beauty! Drive it, enjoy it, and then add to it when you figure out what you need.

I'd like the suggestion for the fuel door and the short black antenna to start.

It’s your 1st Jeep! It looks awesome!

put some gas in it and drive it around with the doors off, maybe go down some easy trails just to start to experience it. Join a local 4x4 club.

turn the stereo up and have fun.

Lot’s of suggestions, but I follow this with every Jeep I’ve had, “Just make it Yours!”

Sure look at other Jeeps and see what other have done, but consider how you will drive it. Some suggestions may NOT be good if it’s going to be an everyday driver.

Just my .02

Nice looking ride, congrats!
How do you plan to use it? Only on the road, or some sandy beaches, or plan to go rock crawling? That might spark some ideas.

I like the mud flap suggestion those tires like to pick up gravel and throw it.

A fire extinguisher is a good addition, along with seat jackers and a dead pedal.

Try to postpone higher price tag items (like a lift) until you decide it doesn’t suit your needs as is.

Along with mudguards, touch up paint 😁

My JT and her JL both have nicks and dings all over the back door hinges, of all places! MTs throw rocks with precision! Just trying to prevent rust or bubbles or whatever else could happen.

We need aftermarket hinge protectors 😂😉

If you’re talking about wheeling it, drive it stock and see what it can do before investing in anything. A good driver is more important than any add on.
Enjoy the new Jeep.
