These are very common interior accessories posted in many places. I use 3 of them. The saddlebag that goes in front of gear shifter cut into my leg. I have ham hock calves (don't skip leg day) and there was no position I could find to drive and avoid the lip of the storage bin from digging into me. The other 3 pieces are solid. Especially the pocket that hangs in front of the center console.

If someone tasked me AC with composing a sentence for a competition that awards the greatest fictional content, this might be it:

"The Jeep Wrangler, in its historic lackluster sales and absolutely perfect design, whose designers have literally thought of every feature that every owner might need, has contributed to an all but non-existent aftermarket for accessories given that its small marketplace is only surpassed by the futility of such product in surpassing that Stellantis provides standard, and the unwillingness of owners to tackle so much as windshield washer fluid changes, let alone more arduous tasks."

Here's a starting point in some links. I suppose top selling purchases might suggest expenditures least likely to leave the owner with regret, but "smart" upgrade and additions....."beauty is in the eye of the beholder," and only you know your budget, which for most of us married is far larger than what our spouses have envisioned it to be.

Perhaps if you express your intentions with the vehicle (e.g. daily driver, weekend overlander, rock crusher) we can hone in on some ideas.

great ideas thank you !!

What are you planning on doing with it? Merely a daily driver and not taking advantage of the Wrangler part of it?

 

[AndySpill]

Perhaps the OPs mission for the vehicle will itself be fueled by the accessories that catch his eye...a so called "cart before the horse" mindset where, for example, "offroading became the passion once laying eyes on a particular amazing aftermarket suspension."

I guess it can work both ways, accessories leading to purpose as purpose leading to accessories.

It's silly but I like my little Azuto turn signal stalk extender.

I like tinting the top five inches of the windshield. I look through a non tinted windshield unless I just tilt my head up slightly. When I first installed it, I was not a fan. After about 2 days, my mind took over subconsciously and I would then look out the windshield either through the tint or not the tint depending on the situation.

Bright lights at night. No problem, bright sun during the day non problem. Still see through the non tinted park of the windshield at night no problem. It is like the best of both worlds and I will always have my windshield done this way. I don't think Ihave flipped down the sun shade in four yeas.

looks like this

I also took the Jeep to a local upholstery shop and had them remove the factory foam from the front seats and had them add as much gel memory foam that they could stuff into the seat and still use the factory seat covers.

My seats are super comfy. Like 20+ hour days comfortable. They did it in one day. Dropped the Jeep off in the morning and had it back mid afternoon.

if you have a soft top like i do, and light skinned a sunshade is a must have. keeps the direct sun off of you, but still allows some sun thru so that you can enjoy the top down option.
