JTRLE and leaving it stock. Generally, I get as much done through the manufacturer as possible (larger wheels, upgraded sound, etc) limiting any need to go crazy in the aftermarket world. I did add the Mopar grab handles inside, a shorter antenna, door sill protection and all weather mats. Those aren't mods just convenience changes.

I prefer a clean look to my vehicles which is the major reason why I don't mod.

Being that this is my first jeep product I know the culture is different. However for me personally, I will stick to enjoying the creativity of others who do mod their Jeeps!
Same for me. I find the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon Launch Edition almost complete. And the all-white look including fenders and top is really clean as you said. The only thing I will maybe add, that can hurt a bit this clean look, is a soft top for the summer (just from July to August here in Eastern Canada!) if the option of getting it down back to the bed is available one day... I was also thinking about a winch before I got the JTRLE, but now I consider this as an "overkill option"...

JTR-LE
Keeping my JTR LE stock until about January when I plan to add a 2.5” lift from on e of AEV, MetalCloak, or Icon. It would have been done already if they all had full offerings ready now.

I’m still debating 35 vs 37” mainly because I plan to tow 6500# twice a year. I had a 4.5” lift and 37s on my JKUR and loved how that rode and looked.


I’m lying, it’s not stock. I did add a Carolina Metal Masters 1” ball in the passenger grab bar for my RAM mount :)

Gladiator Sport S, Sting Ray, 6 Speed (YES!)
Stock Sport S Stingray and 6 speed manual. I added the Sunrider for Hardtop and a hard folding tonneau for security. Looking at seat covers. No intentions of lift kits or 37” tires, no need for a winch or accompanying bumper and no desire for bling. It drives and handles great the way it is and is more than capable enough for the mild 4-wheeling that I may do. Will likely go to a mild All terrain tire later, but not until the stock “birth control” tires are worn out.

Tires, wheels, bumpers, and suspension are all stock. It rides and handles great. I changed the antenna to a stubby one, and added a receiver, winch, some lights, and another battery.

What did you use for antenna? Frankly I forget the stock antenna is even there the silver sort of fades away against the blue.

Front receiver? I bought a front receiver as I figured I'd be able to park my trailer a lot easier that way - especially where I have to turn it around and park it.
(A winch that fits the receivers front or back might be an idea for the future but that's not really so much a JT mod as a plug-in accessory that doesn't modify the vehicle in any real way.
I think it will remain pretty much stock otherwise.....

I have an Overland and I’m keeping it stock. I’ve modded my 04 TJ and to be honest the Overland drives so nice and smooth and has so many features I just don’t want to mess with it! When I drive the TJ on it’s bigger tires and with the soft top I get the traditional wrangler experience I’m used to and afterwards when I drive the Gladiator it feels smooth as a Cadillac

I’m keeping my Sport S stock with no real upgrades other then I put a roll up soft cover over the bed and Ill get the line-x spray in bedliner at some point and 33” tires when the stock one wear out. I don’t off-road other then driving on the beach and the logging roads at my house in upstate New York. I’ve added seat covers but that’s not an upgrade.

I'm keeping my Sport S, pretty much stock. I added a Bedrug and a Tonneau cover. I will consider replacing the tires and wheels at some point, not bigger just more aggressive looking.

One of the things I love about this truck is the million ways you can spec them from the factory. Each of us has a slightly different idea of what we want and Jeep is happy to oblige. That is why I ordered my truck the way I did.

For now it will stay pretty much stock .... at least until the aftermarket catches up! But I really don’t plan on doing much.

I got a Sport S, it has the features I want and need. I added a soft Roll-Up Tonneau, Togo Rico step/rock rails and the bed trail rails. Mine came with the Line-X bed spray, but I might add a rubber bed mat and get rear step. Otherwise, it is stock.
Cheers

I put one of these on it. I bought one from them for my Nissan car, and it worked really well. I didn't even shop around, I just bought one from them that matched the truck.

I'm keeping my Sport S stock except for larger tires after the originals wear out,
Same here….well, OEM rock rails, front passenger handles and small antenna are the only mods.

I got my Sport-S with almost everything I wanted from the factory. The only things I've added are:
  • 256-GB low profile USB chip for my music collection.
  • N-FAB Predator Pro steps.
  • Line-X spray-in bedliner
Other mods that I will likely add:
  • upgraded window tint
  • hothead headliner
  • insaneaudio.com JL3001
  • bartact seat covers
When factory A/T tires wear out, I will consider upgraded / slightly more aggressive tires.

I have no plans for lift kit, non-stock wheels, etc.

Stock rubicon here. It handled so well off road that i don't want to change anything yet. The only thing I'm working on is getting is more accessories for the rack. Some big pelican like cases for the top. Side stuff like maxtrax and fuel and water containers, and truck bed stuff like attachment panels on the sidewalls for shovels, fire extinguishers, my parang, and my katana. Gotta protect the family you know.
