Quality of life upgrades?

[Boeing720]

School me, I never heard of seat jackers, how do they help help?

Seat jackers are machined aluminum blocks for the front legs of the front seats. They lift the front to add leg support for taller/longer legged drivers. They are highly recommended all over this forum. I got mine, (and love them) before I knew I needed them. Kind of pricy, but well made.

I'm looking for some specific suggestions on upgrades for the daily driving side of things. I feel like the performance related upgrades I have a good handle on, but looking to improve the daily comfort, since its my daily driver. The few things I've done so far:

- I installed this windshield protection film: https://www.grab-gard.com/products/jeep-wrangler-windshield

- I installed the tazer mini to remove the auto start/stop

- I installed cheap/basic seatback covers with pockets (I have two small kids), just something generic off of amazon

- extreme terrain tonneau cover


I'm looking for some specific areas that I want to improve, but if people have other suggestions for things that really improved their daily driving experience, I'd love to hear those as well. The specific areas I'm looking for:

- Some way to organize things in the bed. When I go grocery shopping, its a jumbled mess back there by the time I get home
- my 4 year old has trouble climbing into his seat. Any suggestions on a step?
- Phone holder for when I'm using it for navigation

This step: https://mountainoffroad.com/products/hide-a-step-black-jl

And this phone holder: https://amzn.to/3wlZYrS

have been perfect for us.

Needed a place for sunglasses. Also a good pouch for gas card, Costco card, etc, and this fit the bill nicely: link

Bestop sunrider is by far my most used addition.

Been looking a bit at headliners but with the sunrider on 7-8months, doesn't seem necessary. Previously drove a jeep liberty with sky slider, and that was actually much noiser than my JT so i think im skipping the headliner.

i'm stealing some ideas off this thread for bed organization though.

i just plug my phone into console Usb and use android auto for nav, so don't want or need a mount.

I did the Bulletpoint JT Platform Dash Mount for my phone and GoPro-type camera. Extremely happy with its ability to hold a phone sturdily. Clean look/finish as well. Easy to install, easy to adjust thereafter.

Avoid the tablet holder unless you don't use a protective case, they made is so small it doesn't hold the tablet if you have a case... I wouldn't risk it on a bumpy trail so I bought a different one with appropriate length arms.... bullettpoint missed the boat on this one and customer service didn't care when it came returning it

I went this route for bed organization. Because of how the tethers work, it slides forwards and backwards, basically a big drawer that pull out over the tailgate. It's expensive for a hunk of plastic, but has been my biggest life improvement upgrade for the jeep.

Dead pedal makes those long drives a lot more comfortable:

A nice head unit is another bonus for those long trips:

If you have 37s or bigger, the Step Sliders from Rock Slide Engineering are a huge plus, especially for those with family members:

That’s clever and simple. I built this slider for my bed. It’s was $500 and 3 weekends - aluminum is pricey. But now I can get to stuff in my bed. Along with the Supertop it’s a great improvement for hauling stuff, camping, etc.

That's a pretty sweet setup. Prior to the Gladiator, with just a regular boot I never really considered ease of access as everything was in arms' reach. But now with a bed, accessibility beats most other considerations for me, and things that slide (in a controlled and intentional manner) sit at the top.

One word of caution I'm finding out myself the hard way.
I have wireless carplay in both my Jeep and my wife's Subaru with a dongle.
I wanted magsafe charging in both as well so we both painstakingly hid the wires and did very clean installations.
Now if you try to magsafe charge while doing wireless carplay you will actually lose battery %.
How pathetic is that.
I was so proud...

It's depending on the phone, wireless charger and power source output ratings to optain fast charging.

It is a 60w USB outlet with 20w PD ports which feeds a genuine Apple Magsafe charger.
This combo should allow the fastest wireless charging Apple allows.

100% dead peddle
i have a saddle bag type plastic bin the goes in front of the shift leaver. very nice bit of extra space. There is a really nice youtube video tho i don't remember the channel about comfort accessors

A SIG 365 fits nicely in the pocket next to the Driver's right leg, easily accessible.

I want one of those so bad. Not on California's roster so I have to wait until one shows up for sale from a LEO. Usually 2x the price then.

Wow. That's interesting. I'm currently using the non mag Quadlock wireless charger, charging at 7.5w and it's barely enough to keeps up, but not loosing battery though. Just ordered their mag charger, will update with results.

 

[Sprinkler-Fitter]

Yes. But there's also more to the Tazer than that.

With stock tires on my Mojave what else would it get me?

With stock tires on my Mojave what else would it get me?

I bought for 37” tires, 5.13 gears, and to enable an aftermarket front camera. Not sure it’s worth it - you be the judge but Tazer turns off the seatbelt reminder, allows use of navigation while moving, has memory to keep A.S.S. (Auto start/stop) turned off, remembers traction control position, led lights show (mostly silly), turn assist like Bronco has to lock the inside wheel, blacks out the license plate light when backing up to reduce glare (one of my favorite) , 0-60 timer, line lock for burnouts, winch setting for increased rpm when winching, ability to add a front locker, and I’m sure some other stuff I forgot.
