That very first NECESSARY mod

[Hootbro]

Furthest from I meant sorry as it’s a huge waste of money

Good thing I was spending my money and not yours then.

Not sure if this is the one he has but a friend recently told me about his truck and using magic box. Seems pretty sweet.

The stock Rubicon ones are not beefy enough

You plug this into your USB port, and then attach a firestick

First was the Hotheads Headliner, quickly followed with Teraflex Leveling kit, RSE Step Sliders, full Artec Aluminum Skids, and Oracle back-up lights. Bumper, winch, wheels and tires were the next year, along with more of a lift and a re-gear. ARB twin was last year. Now things are on an "as needed" basis, maybe....

That’s way cheaper than the magic box!

Not a Rubicon, but, these were vital to me. So vital in fact that when I ordered my truck I had a lot of these items already waiting at the house by the time the truck was ready to pick up:

- Dead pedal
- Bullet Point phone mount
- Nice high sided floor mats
- Door sill protectors
- Front leveling kit

Really didn't need much to get started that I thought was vital.

Since then its became about storage for day to day items and other daily life functional mods like adding power outlets here and there, various tie downs in the bed (I did a DIY trail rail and other stuff), exterior work lights...I don't really wheel my truck so fancy lift kits, big tires, re-gearing, etc have not been on my radar.

Yeah storage is tough on the Gladiator. My JL had all kinds of bags and shelves.

This is their official site. I did have to buy a separate power bank to plug the firestick into. Other than that, if you have a mobile hotspot on your phone, you will be good to go.

1) Tazr
2) Headliners (for the winter/cold & Middle Summer/Hot)
3) Bestop Sunrider (I know that's an odd choice, but I've enjoyed it a lot more than I ever thought I would)

First thing for me was to swap out the Rubicon side rails for a pair of Overland running boards, immediately followed by installing a trailer brake controller.

I have a 130-mile round trip every day. Dead pedal was the first necessary mod....

 

[bryanklay]

the first thing to do is tires. the next thing to do is go on your trips and think about what your primary purpose will then be. I started out just with tires and wheels because the idea was to use the jeep for going back and forth to the east coast and after some research and some playing, i changed to the idea of going someplace far away to go play and then come back home with little problems to fix.

Guess I'm one of the few guys that still likes the ole whip antenna. Probably cause I'm also running a taller ham antenna.

The tall antenna doesn't go through a car wash very well.

A lot of us cannot fit into those car washes, myself included. Maybe that's the difference. I also prefer the whip antennae look over the stubby.

Until that whip antenna catches on a branch or bush backing up and whips back chipping the windshield in the process. Interesting you don't fit, how big is your lift. The JLUR with 3.5" lift and 39s still fits fine. My gladiator with 3.5" lift and 37s fits. Are you 5" lifted and 40"+ on the tires?
