JTR and mine was/is:

1)Bed Liner (rhino'd it the day after getting the truck)
2)Bed cover (Tyger)
3)Stubby antenna (That huge mental monstrosity needed to go)
4)Storage facility for tops/doors (Not a mod to the truck but one for the truck and needed)
5)Rock Hard Steps (en Route, sold sliders, rails will be here wednesday)

Next will be the big one of Wheel/Tire/Lift. Took the opportunity during quarantine to save save save a bit and build up the nest egg before spending the inevitable 6k on the lift/wheel combo I want.

What antenna did you get and how well does it work? I drove mine up a tight gravel road with low branches and basically whipped mine around the entire way up and down. It's seriously goofy looking on a 2020 vehicle

Go

to advance or autozone and buy their stubby one, that's the one I got on mine. Don't get the rubber one, get the aluminum one and you want lose any reception.

So I usually listen to Sirius/XM and therefore that antenna doesn't really make a difference as the satellite antenna is on the soundbar. That being said, here's what I bought. For the minimal times I listen to FM/AM, this works perfectly for my reception area:

Hello Kannapolis! I'm from Concord, parents still live there, my grandma moved to an old mill house in Kannapolis a couple years ago.

I'll take a look, I'm not used to being able to get anything for my car at a parts store so I always forget that they can be useful. I usually only go for generic things that I can't get as easily elsewhere

My top 5 mods for my Rubicon, and specific to my Overlanding needs:

• Leitner rack with gear pods
• Rotopax (fuel and water)
• Recovery gear (Maxtrax, shackles, tow straps, etc)
• Bumper (Rugged Ridge Arcus)
• Winch (Warn EV0 10S)

There's lots more mod's, but these were the most important for me to be Overland ready.

I'm digging this. Love compiling all the good ideas in one place.

My JTR is going to be my Overlander (my current overlander is my JKUR so many things will be shifted over so that the JKUR can just be a crawler)
1. Alu-Cab Explorer Canopy w/ Storage Cupboards (Ordered)

1a. Existing James Baroud Evo from my JKUR will get mounted on this​

1b. Existing Overland Kitchen will be mounted in bed​

2. Vector Offroad Docking Bar with assorted gadget holders (Installed)
3. TNT Custom Adventure Sliders (Ordered) have these on the wife's JKUR and they are the bomb
4. Winch (haven't decided which way to go yet)
5. Leveling kit (waiting to see how the canopy, etc. settles out the rake)

I'm leaning heavy for the JKS swaybar disconnects.
Forgive my ignorance, but it looks like they are just for the front. Do you want them for the rear too?

No, you just want them for the front.

On my Overland I didn't want to leave the dealership without a few things. Spray in liner was already in, but I needed a tonneau cover and all weather floor mats day 1. Dealership accessory guy was a tool who thought he was "cutting me a deal" selling 10% over MSRP so I walked away and ordered myself.

Other than those two things my top five were all cheap little add ons:

1.) Mopar grab handles.
2.) Stubby Antenna
3.) Tool box for the bed.
4.) Mopar door sill protectors.
5.) Doors off Mirrors (cheap from amazon, open for suggestions on replacements!)

Bonus #6 foot pegs that haven't arrived yet.

Yeah... My finance lady tried to sell me all kinds of extras.... I hate when they do that crap. I don't need an $850 windshield protection plan when my insurance covers that.
