[adanginis]

For the Willys
1. Paint the chrome antenna black
2. Remove the stupid 4 Wheel Drive decal
3. Black covers for the outside door locks (only chrome left is wheel lugs)
4. Adjust the Steering Box
5. Hang dog tags on rearview mirror

How/why will you be adjusting the steering box?

LUV the patches on the headliner. Retired USAF here.

Also, consider this OCD offering. Many here have. I have and highly recommend it..

I use this, too, and it has converted a "junk drawer" into a usefully organized space where I can instantly find what I need.

Rokblokz. Pricey but so worth it. Also can be removed fast

Yes. Your hinges are completely exposed with those rock rails.

Last week I test drove a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon with 19,000 miles: the paint on the hinges on all four doors were completely chipped off.

You will need to look at aftermarket mud flaps, though. My understanding is the Mopar ones don’t work with the rock rails.

The OEM all weather mats came with mine and they are awesome.

Just finished the Rubicon Trail yesterday. Amazingly, the stock antenna was never an issue.

Getting high centered was, however, so I’d say a 30’ 3” tow strap would be your 1st and best addition.

I can’t see into dark tinted windows so don’t expect any love from me.

The two tiered console separator is great though.

A rapid air down valve is wonderful.

An accurate tire gauge is required.

A high capacity air compressor (mounted or portable) is as good as gasoline.

Do you actually need to lift that hood that often? I'm thinking that I'll rarely get under there after installing an Epic Kraken last week.

I lift my hood often. In the summer heat, I get home and park in the garage. Open the hood to let that hot ass air escape. I have the hood struts and they are fantastic. Even if you rarely open yours, you will appreciate them when you do. And the added bonus of service people not dropping the hood from 3 feet up helps.

Do you have play in yours.

Do you have play in yours.

Yes a bit

 

[alparmer]

Yes a bit

There are several videos on how to do it. Better than walking you through it.

What is the top-5 JL accessories / modifications (minor) most Jeepers do? I would have to say these are the top 5 MUST HAVES that are most important to me (no specific order):
1. Antenna (paint the OEM black or replace it with a stubby)
2. Center console tray
3. Window tint
4. Mobile device mount/cradle (RAM)
5. Gas cap door


**Runner ups are removing the front bumper to fender flare euro panels, wheel locks and all-weather floor mats (front, rear and trunk).

I have done 4 out of your 5 listed (have not done a window tint). I would add getting a besttop to replace the freedom panels as a top 5 mod for those with hard top Wranglers. It is by far the favorite mod I have done to my Jeep. Totally transformed the experience of owning/driving a Wragler. I will never go back to the freedom top panels.

Same, Willys model here. I actually just got the plugs for the front mat drain holes.

How’s the Best top improved over the freedom tops?

I’m considering front mud flaps, but have rock rails (Willys JLU). I took a look underneath and only see two rivet/ screws, so is drilling going to be required? I believe the Rubicon flaps are needed because of the rock rails..

Hmm... in no particular order...

1.) 13 inch antenna
2.) Rubber mats up front
3.) Fuel door
4.) Center console storage
5.) Paracord grab handles

6.) Replace Halogen bulbs with LED bulbs if necessary
