Thought I'd start documenting this since now I've changed it a bit more from being bone stock! Had always wanted a Wrangler and decided that with the 3rd blown PTU on the Renegade, it was time to trade that off. I had a vacation to Moab planned and was so excited to take the Wrangler there!
The day I bought it - traded in a 19 Rene TH that was nothing but issues from off roading. June 12th, 2022!

First mod during the first week: free set of Rubicon rock sliders

A month later, decided it needed new tires and wanted to protect the diff drain bolts a little better, so got Rough Country Diff skids.

Found a set of Mopar Performance rock rails new for $100, so figured why not:

And then finally my favorite mod, put it on last weekend, Dynatrac 2" endurosport lift!

That makes it current through today. Have another trip to Moab planned this fall. Once this set of tires wears out, I'll go up to a 34 or 35 (33s now). Also am considering a new back bumper and possibly an engine/trans skid plate, but haven't hit anything there yet.
