First mods?

First and best: Your butt in the seat for a while. Then go from there.

A new Jeep is an absolute Black Hole for money, MOST of which you will learn later was the equivalent of setting fire to your $$$s.

THIS!!!

Take it our for a few long rides on the road, then go off-road a few times where you intend to go, and think it all through. Outside of a dead foot pedal (buy a good one) and a cell phone holder (Bulletpoint) there is very little you can add to a Rubicon to make it "better" unless there are boulders and drops off rocky ledges in your immediate future.

Ps. Don't know if you are seasoned Jeep owner or a first time owner, so I will give you the same advice the Jeep sales guy gave me when he handed me the keys to my first Jeep, a 1st year Rubicon. "Take it slow and please be careful, this thing will take you places that you probably have no business going. And if you don't do things right, it will kill you.". This sage advice has saved my bacon a BUNCH of times in decades of owning 5 Jeeps and has kept all my Jeeps with the wheels on the ground where they belong.

Do not waste your money on an air intake.

I bought a phone mount right away, it is solid. Made for smooth highways.

It is a pain in the butt for me unclamping the phone so I can actually manipulate the screen. When I’m on the trail to my ranch I look like a drunk trying to get my finger to hit the spots accurately.

I’m thinking of turning Siri back on if its in the mount.

I use Siri for talk to text and calls a lot. With kids and wife all over the place being able to communicate on the go while staying legal is paramount. She usually gets what I say right. If not it gets fairly comical. I sometimes get calls from SWMBO asking what the hell I was trying to say but usually she just ignores it if it isn’t important.

You need to decorate your jeep in a movie or cartoon theme complete with stickers or vinyl graphics with custom theme appropriate name for your "rig" and include any and all action figures, dolls or stuffed toys on the interior of said "rig". Be sure to start a lengthy thread documenting your journey and decision making steps along the way and maybe later you can have a slumber party to review your new lifestyle.

But seriously, get a tazer now and thank me later.

I agree. Something out of the box though. Like Crocodile Dundee riding Rainbow Brite in Fraggle Rock chasing Hello Kitty.

Hell of an 80's overload there. Need a KITT light bar too.
