What are your favorite cheap addons/accessories that are must haves or make your Gladiator better?

[Guns_N_Rosaries]

Just curious what everyone's favorites are. The cheaper the better of course, but I'm thinking things that are $100 or less.

1) For me with 2 small kids, a must have are rear seat covers that protect the back seats from their booster seat and carseat, as well as to hold all their extra crap.
2) Foam inserts that fit in between the seat and center console that stop stuff from falling into the gap of no return.
3) Grip handles, sometimes you just want to hold those things, and I have no idea why they aren't built in.
4) Decent medkit that's kid friendly
5) A hitch step. I do not use this as a step to get into the back. This is my "if you rear end me because you aren't paying attention, I will total your car". There is a huge noticeable difference in people's following distance when I've had it off vs on. This one is a bit of splurge. I want to say I paid $129 for mine.
6) Recovery strap. My one and only Jeep Hero moment was when I saw some people in an old sedan stuck in the mud when they pulled over off the highway. I was able to pull them out, and they were so appreciative that I felt like a king lol

Coiled USB cables. They take up less space, reach just as far, and are easy to put away.

One of my favorites was actually free--I removed the center headrest on the rear seat. Other sub-$100 tweaks include an organizer for the center console, aluminum valve stem caps, and a set of Strappino ratchet straps (LINK). These straps auto retract the excess and are great to use!

Now, if you want a list of over $100, it gets longer . . .

Small cube spot mounted under the truck and wired to illuminate with reverse lamps. It’s dark and rainy here half the year, add road grime and the stock reverse lamps don’t cut through. The spot lamp gives me a pool of light that greatly improves the safety of reversing in inclement conditions.

A high quality etool isn't really for the truck but it rides along and finds myriad uses. With the blade at 90* you can dig quickly.

-Those plastic jungle site pockets one is front both sides of the trans Hump, the grab bar one and one just in front of the console. they really help you stay organized on long road trips

- Simple dual carabiner bungee cords on the tie does in the bed at the tail gate helps keep cases (beer) from sliding around the bed

Amazon fender extensions. Eazy to install, look great and are super functional for paint protection. They also line right up with rokblokz mud flapps. Definitely recommended.

3Wliners floor mats.

I Installed a set in our JT Mojave and immediately noticed less road noise. They are also pet proof in case the dogs have an accident, throw up, or just shed hair like they do this time of year. I like them so much that yesterday when I ordered a new 2-door Rubicon from the dealership I passed on the Mopar all weather floor mats. I'm going to put 3Wliners floor mats in the new Rubi when it gets here.
