What exactly is the product here? My rear seats came with a lock in that position from the factory... ?Get the rear seat locks for sure!
Ebay or Amazon.
This is insightful and useful advice, and if I might add to it a bit - a lot of the impulse mods people add to Jeeps are heavy. Steel 17x9s, heavy 35s or 37s, steel bumpers, winches, racks, rock rails, armor, beefy suspension components - it is easy to scatter-shot a bunch of mods with no coherent plan and find yourself a thousand pounds heavier and still have use cases you want to pursue and aren't equipped for. If you want to overland camp, your path might be a lot different than if you want to rock crawl. Or mall crawl. Or tow a boat. Prioritizing your choices and having a plan can inform good decisions on where to spend money, and where to add weight.Probably not the most popular advice, but I kind of wish someone had convinced me to just drive it as-is for a while and see what you REALLY need/want.
The second I got my Mojave, I went nuts getting the Mopar steel bumpers in front and rear, heavy duty rock sliders, bed guards, AUX group, etc.
Those are all good things, but a year later, I kind of wish I had just chilled out a bit. The factory plastic bumpers aren't sexy, but they're fine for what I do (mostly commuting). The rock sliders are good parking lot insurance, but they haven't really come in handy yet, and they're only half useful as steps.
Meanwhile, I kind of wish I had dedicated more $$$ to the bed and making that a usable space. Right now, all I have is the spray-in bedliner (which rocks), and the Mopar tri-fold tonneau cover. But, other than that, it's just a really durable, awkwardly shaped box. I wish I had gotten the cargo rail system, and had saved some scratch for a nice sport bar, spare tire setup, and molle panels.
It's easy to get excited thinking of all the new toys and upgrades you want to do, but there's also nothing wrong with taking your time and let the priority of needs come to you rather than having everyone else tell you how to spend your money.
Screw the running boards. Buy a good set of rock sliders. You won't have muddy/wet pants when getting out of the Jeep. Have factories on my Overland and dislike them.
Have a link?
What’s up Hoosier?! I am taking my time.
Why would the OP buy rock sliders when he wants running boards?
Here is the info on the standard issue Rubicon/Mojave rock rails from the factory. I have them on my Mojave and like them. Another good thing is that the Weathertech splash guards are a direct fit and look great with the rails.
