For me it was a roof rack. We go camping a ton so having another way to carry equipment was absolutely worth it. Leaves us plenty of space in the back to work with.

There are two for me. The Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop has been absolutely the one mod I have enjoyed most. I love the convertible feel while still having the hardtop on. Second is a dead pedal. That just makes driving on longer trips so much more comfortable.
Do you have a manual or automatic? What dead pedal do you have?

It's almost trivial but my most cost effective mod was adding a $19.95 cargo net across the roll bars behind the sound bar, secured to the sound bar contour by two additional straps around the sound bar.

On top of that cargo net I keep two camp chairs, two stuffable fleece blankets, and a camp rug with room to spare. All in space that would otherwise go completely unused and it's up high enough to not impede the view from the rear view mirror. Like having a lot of stuff while the cargo area is still "empty". It's also a very convenient place to hang a battery powered camp light and anything else that needs to be hung in easy reach at camp.

Definitely the most useful 20 bucks I've spent on the Jeep.

Ok, kidding. The duck comes in second. The biggie has to be this...

...the cargo liner, not the raccoon. Although hauling raccoons is one reason I need the cargo liner. Moved 22 of them this summer.

im not sure which was more douchy. The roli’ flex in a thread like this? Or the inability to not point out you bought a rubicon.

Great minds and all… I did the same thing above the molle panel, two chairs and two down blankets. They live in the Jeep and they come in handy ALL THE TIME.

So far my LED headlights. Coming from a 2020 Mustang GT with amazing LED headlights, the candles my Sport came with we're almost dangerous at night. My headlights now are as good or better than my Mustangs were.
