Top 10 Add-Ons for your XJ? Like, new storage space mod, or outlet in the back mod..

What would you recommend? I have a fire extinguisher, little 3.5" speakers in my rear cupholders (yes, they fit perfect), marine speakers on my lift gate,

Just looking for some more useful things I could add that I haven't thought of yet. Y'all know more about these Jeeps than I do and probably use them more! I love hearing stories and tips from Veteran XJ owners.

Thanks!!!

17 what-pounds? Feet? That stuff is in inch pounds dawg.

Little 1/4" ratchet a bump past firm is good enough with a Fel-Pro PermaDry. FSM torque specs are for the cork gaskets I believe.

(Also, contaminants in the hole will screw things up)

Two days. Throw some RTV on the outside if you're trying to last until payday. Don't get it on the elbow, lol

What kind of bank are we talking about here? Bastard pack in general is pretty cheap.

What are good ways to mount lights on a stock bumper with minimal cost? I don't have a welder.

Most stock bumpers are ready for lights with two holes on topside. Holes often have a plastic plug in them.
