Outfitting the Wife's New Wrangler

Any recommendations on where, what type of Soft Top to buy for my Wife's new Wrangler?  Also any other fun additions you would recommend, Bumper/Brush Guards, Doors, Tire Covers, Fog Lights, etc...  Thanks!!  She stayed with me while living in a shed with no electricity or running water for 4 years, she deserve it.

My wife has a 2012 Jeep and the best thing we did next to tires was put a synthetic winch with a winch bumper. Ive pulled out a bunch of people, felled trees, drug trees to my sawmill and more with it. We have a hardtop so no recommendation for the soft top. Congrats to her!

Fred they are looking to spend "your money".  Probably stuff your wife will never need.

4 link is a kind of suspension making it flexy, 1 ton axles and 40" tires.

Sorry, I should have added, this Jeep will rarely see mud, rocks or anything close to resembling off road.

Sounds like most wranglers I know lol

I liked some.of the netted doors for summertime, that way you only worry about falling out a little bit

    Any place you recommend to buy from?

[Jpmiller]

No, the only jeep I have now is a liberty but there's a plethora of places around, both online and in store. That might be the best thing about the wrangler is availability of good to great aftermarket add ons.

id just save up for future repair bills

I had an 18 Rubicon and just sold it a while back. I had a hard top. A friend of mine who had owned one informed me that a soft top wasn’t a great idea. It gets to hot in eastern Washington in the summer and your head will bake. I never bought one. Mine did have the 3 piece hardtop. So you could take off the back section or take the two pieces out like a t top. I added a 2.5” lift, wheels, tires, steel fenders, winch bumper, winch, wheels and tires. I didn’t add any aftermarket lighting except the headlights. There’s lots you can do to them lots to add on at reasonable prices. I used mine for light off roading and hunting. Never had any issues with the jeep

Since you said this is your wife's Wrangler I'd ask her what aftermarket things appeal to her.  I know when we had our last Wrangler about the only items my wife and I agreed on were the wheels we put on it.  Pretty much everything else I wanted to change she liked something different.  Even though it was a Rubicon everything I wanted was geared more toward offroad ability and my wife's plans for it, not so much. 

My wife is pretty cool about most everything I spend money on but I've learned to ask before I leap when it comes to messing with anything relating to the vehicle she drives so my advice and you probably already know this but ask before you leap.

I agree completely.  I'm just sending her some things to look at and consider.  She will let me know what she does and does not want.  Right now she's liking the soft top and the tube doors.

Tons of cool soft top options but I’m with Teanawayslayer. It’ll get hot! And the AC will be mostly pointless.
Bestop and Smittybuilt are good.

Bought mine used. Hard top with "T" top  Seller had some pretty cool upgrades.  2 of my favs are heavy duty spare tire carrier and pistol safe under seat that's hooked to the frame.  That comes in really handy cuz "no guns" on property at work and a 92 mile commute so I don't have to worry about a break in /theft.  That's a full size Kimber.  You will need to buy a lot of rubber ducks and guilted into waving at other jeepsters.

There are many different looks to the grills, and are a fairly cheap and easy install to change the look.

Also, if ya have a hard top, take off the rear part leaving on the front sides(dont need to buy a bimimi top that way) and highly recommend a soft tonneau cover for the rear(I think Bestop is the one I have.)

You guys live kind of out there, I believe. Get her a winch and show her how to use it to pull herself out of a snow drift or a hole when she's out by herself.

I'll let her know, but I have a feeling there is no talking her out of it!  Thanks!!

If it's that bad, which it does get occasionally where we are at, she'll be staying at home.

In that case,, Get yourself some whiskey.

I don't care for the stock wheels or bumpers that come on the Wranglers so mine has Smitty Built bumpers and pretty fancy wheels. Doesn't do anything for performance but it totally changed the look. I haven't found a bug guard/rock deflector that I like but it's also on the list.
