Which mod is the unsung hero of your build?

[mwilk012]

Fair enough. I'm the opposite. I purchase for function and reliability. I can care less what the country of origin is. When the "Made In America" market makes something worthy of owning, I'm all over it.

We do make it. Then we ship the tech overseas to be produced by slaves and the world will collapse to communist rule out of convenience. Thanks.

I served my country proudly and I'm as American and respectful to the flag as it gets. However I'm guilty of purchasing products outside our great country.

We live in a global society. Like it or not it's the way it is. Now lets talk counterfeiting products and we can have whole other conversation. Starting with the NGK spark plug......

Those S2's aren't cheap. Thats prime squish territory. Maybe you could get the flush mount kit and mount in the bumper? I was considering a similar solution. Although it may limit you to using a single S2 on the passenger side as the license plate takes up much of the drivers side.

Point well taken and I’ll look into other options. Thanks

Hard to choose favorites, but these 2 are definitely hovering around the top of my list:

The issue is when an American company creates a good product at a fair price and the Chinese copy it for next to nothing. Case in point - the Vehicle OCD center console organizers we designed in 2018 were great selling products until the Chinese copied them and flooded Amazon with knock-offs. We spent time and money on R&D and tooling to produce them in the US. We spent money on this forum to connect with the members to design the product they wanted. Now sales are a fraction of 2018 because of the "global economy".

We first developed the center console tray and the center console divider with input from members here on the forum. Here is the original thread

4.88 gears
With a manual transmission rubicon and having stepped up to 35” tires, it changed everything. I can now use 5th and 6th gears again and when crawling it‘s like a tractor. I don’t even have to give it gas even in 4HI

Bulletpoint rubigrid. The only mod I use every time I hop in the Jeep. Not counting lift and tires of course. Also works great to hold the iPhone for trail video.

A very close second is the security enclosure I built

I bought those white wheels from Quadritec in July, still not here unfortunately! Makes for a brighter JL for sure! You mind spilling where you got the caps from!?

Who makes those mud flaps ? Love the look of the white wheel.

I second this; I too have a Bulletpoint setup.

I also have to add, my incredibly bright yet inexpensive Nilight pod lights.

I’m a gun-totin Southern swamp-stompin Florida guy, 30 years US Army, and ’Merican as you can get - but I also buy parts from China. Their economy relies on us, making it less likely we go to war. I strongly support “whirled peas” too, which I understand are also grown in China

The driver. 99% of folks who drive Wrnaglers have no clue when it comes to driving. They dont understand vehicle dynamics, weather, tires and vehcile control. Turn off all the nannies and they would be in trouble. Lets see how you handle a wet skidpad. And finally "GET OFF YOUR @#$% *&$% and drive!

I don't think my Jeep counts as a "build"... but I found my extra cup holders come pretty handy when mall crawling and off roading.

Where did you find the seat back drink holders? I'm thinking it's a great idea for the bug spray, sun block and other assorted things you want 'close' at hand but not rolling around loose and getting stepped on.

I second that question.

These are four of the 'Rothco Lightweight MOLLE Bottle Carriers', but there are others available that looked like they might be a good fit.

My @BajaDesigns SAE Amber Foglights make me unreasonably happy. They're definitely a bit of a splurge, but I just love the unique look of the BD amber against the dark grey.
