I told my wife last week that I was going forgo our exchanging of gifts (for me at least), for the option of getting a larger chunk of my bonus in March

the problem now is that I can't decide what to do, or what to get 1st...

How do you keep them from flying out?
@MrMischief , if I may, even though it's not under $150 and consistent with the objectives of this thread.:):):)

It's the stuff of self deprecating humor we Wrangler enthusiasts laugh at ourselves about.

"How to you save money on Wrangler accessories?"

Answer: you take a fine suggestion to buy inexpensive good stuff at Harbor Freight like @wibornz suggested, and then protect it with a $490 purchase!!!;)

Agree with many of the things others have stated, but one I didn't see mentioned was a decent air compressor. I got the Viair 88P which is only ~half of your budget, but you could probably spend more, especially if you plan to go with bigger tires.

Also there are lots of tools. Check out Trail Recon's Amazon shop as he has a great selection of tools and other odds and ends.

Mopar floor mats.1050 bucks. Need these and they should come standard...

Harbor Freight moving blankets. 5 bucks. best 5 bucks you will spend. Put them in the back. They fold perfect to act as a mat in the back, Open up and cover the whole area when the rear seats are folded down. Can cover stuff up you don't want seen and great to lay on when wrenching on your Jeep.
I second this. I have two of them. They've come in quite useful.
