Top 5 First Jeep Wrangler Mods

Sunday, Jan 5, 2025 | 3 minute read

These are my favorite accessories for Jeep Wrangler JK / JKU owners, for model years 2007-2018. The really nice thing about these Jeep is that there are plenty of products out there that can add modern day features allowing these cars remain relevant for many years to come!

Jeep - Antennae

Loading product information...

This is a super easy install, but be careful not to dent or scratch the Jeep in case your wrench slips. I used an adjustable wrench to get the right fit but it is a counter clock wise turn to remove (not lefty loosey). Most local stations still come in fine, but its not as good as stock. I listen to Carplay anyway so it doesn't bother me.

Jeep Headlights 07-18

These headlights are plug and play, and were really easy to install. They look great and they are always one of the first mods I do, as the stock headlights for 07-18 Wranglers are notoriously bad lamps. The 'in light' turn signal is a nice feature too!

Jeep Wrangler Handlebars 07-18

I have had two jeeps now and this is one of the first things I add. The install is easy and the placement of the bar is in just the right place. I prefer these over the ones that attach to the door frame and hang down.

Jeep Hood Latches 07-18

These hood latches on Amazon for my 2007 Jeep Wrangler. If you have the stock Jeep latches, they are made from rubber and degrade over time. They can cause something called 'Hood Flutter' at highway speeds, where the hood will vibrate as air can get under the hood and the rubber makes it bouncy. I was driving more on the highways for a period of time and it became really noticeable for me. These came with all the parts you need! I picked these because for the price they seemed to get the job done and seemed to function well. It helps to have tiny hands as you will need to attach the bottom catch to the hood area. They can be a little tight at first, make an adjustment to the adjuster screws if it is too hard to open. These latches give a unique flair to your Jeep without being obnoxious, and solve the hood flutter problem. They are easy to install and fair priced!

For some people, part of Jeepin' is just being chill. See a Jeep you like? Leave a duck on it.
