When I went to Hahvahd people used to say, "you know how to tell someone went to Harvard... they'll tell you in their first five words."

right? Ivy leaguers, crossfitters, weird dieters, and navy seals.

dont worry. Theyre going to let you know and remind you frequently.

Man, I was really hoping to see a lot of "my MyTop convertible top is totally worth it!!"...

Cool, thanks. I didnt know mine had struts. They must be tucked in there somewhere i havent seen.

Hands down, my Hot Head Headliner for the Sky One Touch. . . helps control the noise, better climate control, and gives the jeep a "finished" look

My knee jerk is the bumpers. I‘m sure I would have ripped the factory plastic ones off looking at the scars the metal ones show. I’ve used the winch twice and would still be stuck if I hadn’t.

That said, the best mod worth every cent for a guy married to a gal who runs in a Dodge Power Wagon, is my decal….

Slipstream: $800+

Being able to go to Whole Foods and Costco in one trip? Priceless.

You must walk out of Costco with just a 24 pack of socks, then.
I could fill the bed of my truck without breaking a sweat.

If we're thinking of the same fellow, he was recently given the boot.

Ha! It’s just my husband, doodle, and I so the Jeep does the trick. Costco is usually the last stop so some things can go in the back seat. I’m usually getting rotisserie chicken, kale salad, and wine. Always wine.

I carry bungee straps and can stack things on the Slipstream, too.

I love my 15 lb Power Tank & tire inflator. Airing up is always a pleasure and it looks and feels amazing.

First thing I bought, was the Mopar gap hider, for my dogs, second was amp and speakers upgrade.

Urban Cracker here, so the best road upgrade, was Fox steering stabilizer and shocks!

What is the gap hider? Tried googling it, and it had no picture. thanks

It's simple and everyone's first mod should be a snatch strap to throw in the back for trail rides.

No gap when the back seat is folded down.

Yeah I removed mine too recently. I was cleaning the Jeep and noticed one of them was peeling at the side. So just removed it. Surprised by how easy it was to remove I went ahead and removed the other side. Looks so much better, and those stickers were gonna fall off eventually anyway. They were not the best quality.

Anyone considering doing removing the RUBICON sticker, I went through all 3 stages:

1. Stock Rubicon

2. No sticker

3. Custom Rubicon

I think they all look nice in their own way. No sticker looks "cleaner" but I thought it looked a little "tougher" with

Gen 2 or 3? I'm waiting on Gen 3 to be in stock. $2200 plus lights and door delete kits is a bit pricey. Then add rocker protection and more slider protection you easily have $3k in rock slides/steps.

I've had mine since 2018 so I imagine that's Gen 1 or 2, whatever it would be. I had them before my JL was delivered haha. I could see how an extra couple inches on the rear of step would be nice for getting in the back doors. Ayoo. I definitely see area's it could be beefier and I have destroyed one side completely and it's sitting in my garage up against a wall. I have too many projects but I have thought about taking my jacked up one, straightening it, then coming up with a way to reinforce/gusset the whole thing, adding thicker armor, and making them weld on's so they can actually hold up to the really gnarly stuff within reason.
