2 door accessories

[DEN24]

just picked up a 2023 2-door sport and got it as basic as possible minus michelin tires... i just cant stand the look of those... i will eventually mod but for now just looking to accessorize, especially wanna get ready to go naked this summer and im new to the jeep life so a bit overwhelmed by the number of aftermarket accessories available for this thing.

i picked up the mopar floor mats since the dealer gave me 100$ to use at the parts dept. and i love the look of the mopar stuff but will run me about 1200$ CAD for everything if im lucky so looking to save a little here... dont want no chinese stuff thatll break in 3 weeks but dont necessarily need OEM stuff either since i will be modding one day and wont keep the accessories forever

here's a list of stuff im looking to pick up before summer, any advice, links, pics etc. are much appreciated and bonus points if u know of places that ship to canada, because raingear for example does not..

- soft top storage bag
- rain cover for when its naked
- doors off mirror kit (that dont shake)
- tonneau cover
- door sill guards

thanks OIIIIIIO

Kixback mirrors don't shake, give you a foot rest and are easy to put on and take off.

Door sill guards on JLs seem to be more trouble than they are worth. Lots of reports here about door seals being compromised or damaged. You might want to look into some paint protection film for that area.

A free mod is to modify or remove those plstic fillers between the bumper and the fenders.

Get some Rubicon take off rock rails to cover the pinch weld. They can be found cheap on eBay, Craigslist or Facebook market.

You can mount up to 285/70/17 tires on those stock wheels. They look really good with bigger tires on them.

I suggest a fuel door since you live in snow country.

appreciate the tips man.. door sill guards are the last thing on my list for a reason lol so yeah will probably skip those... have my eyes open on a few local jeep groups for the rubicon takeoff stuff but im in no rush since i dont wanna take it on any hard trails until the warranty is up

i was going to immediately get new tires but with the amount this thing costs me i decided to wear out these goodyears as much as im able to since ill get next to nothing if i sell them...

curious.. why the fuel door with snow?

Maybe a set of front mud flaps? Not sure about your Michelins, but my KO2s love picking up rocks and kicking them up into the door, window and rear fender. I went with the RokBlokz standard non-XL half-kit (LINK) for just the front and it helped quite a bit, though a few still get by. The WeatherTech splash guards were my second choice (LINK).

The reason for the fuel door is that snow and/or ice will build up in the recess where the filler cap is. You’ll have to scoop it out when you want to fill up.

yup.. hate the look of mudflaps but might be necessary.. doors and rear fenders where full of crap when i drove in a winter storm so i can only imagine how muddy the inside will get when i take it offroad with no doors... gonna try before i pull the trigger on flaps tho ?

Yeah, same. Really don't like the look of mud flaps, but the gravel in our parking lot at work is just the right coarseness that at least a few stones would get stuck in the tire each and every day and then launch themselves loose once I hit the highway. Tbh, the front-only flaps actually don't look too bad and aren't very noticeable imo.

If you're not hearing any rocks hit your doors or window, then I probably wouldn't worry about getting flaps right away. Or maybe take a quick few second drive through a gravel driveway or lot and see if its a problem once you hit pavement again. Might not be a problem at all with your particular tires.

@DEN24 You're the type of guy that waits to get married before taking the girl out to a nice dinner? before that it's just play it safe and McDonalds cause you might breakup?

You bought a JEEP, no one said go and jump off a cliff, but get out there and enjoy the trails. A tomorrow may never come for you nevertheless 3 years.

Cheers!

Why is that?

As was noted in a previous post, snow/ice/ dirt/ slush will accumulate in the fuel cap recess. If you don't mind chipping all that crap out every time you refuel, and don't mind the risk of said crap getting into the fuel opening every time, go Doorless, by all means !
Choice, our most important, and least understood option

Haha! Just look at your avatar.

I've not done much to my 2 door Willys other than the front Weathertech mudflaps and added the fuel door. The only other accessory I would look at is the 67 Design phone mount which I really like. https://www.67d.com/collections/jeep-collection

 

[DEN24]

still curious about where to find the stuff i mentionned in my OP without getting cheap chinese stuff... also wondering if i do go the mopar route if anyone has any experience with the mopar sites that arent mopar...

www.mopardepot.ca or
www.moparpartscanada.ca

they got horrible reviews but prices are tempting... also, could be wrong but doesnt seem like mopar makes a tonneau cover for 2 door JLs
