OK, here is a fun Q/A thread. What items did you add to your TJ that you think should have come from the factory? Anything that came on the factory that you thought did not belong in there in terms of looks or quality or function? Anything you think they got it right on the later models (JK/JL) that they missed in the TJ? Please include a short justification if you can. Please also remember that stuff like fancy LED headlights may not have been an option back in the day.
I almost wanted to exclude bigger tires and lift from this question, but being that most people go to bigger tires (which needs a lift in most cases), it's perhaps fair that it should be open for this topic. This is not in my list below, but see #2
My nominations are:
I am curious as to what everyone else thinks.

My nominations are:
- deeper axle gearing for the 42RLE equipped models - this one is a no brainer
- highline fenders - I suspect many people will be OK installing going with slightly bigger tires without a lift if they had highline fenders.
- tummy tuck - for people who go wheeling, this perhaps will be huge
- Cable shifter for the transfer case - I recently had a savvy shifter installed, and I'll never understand why the TJ did not come from the factory this way
- Better halogen headlights - the stock sealed beams are pretty bad. How did they ever approve it for release it I will never understand.
- Better way to mount the mirrors - if you are making a vehicle where people can take the doors off, there needs to be a proper option from the factory for mounting (or relocating) the mirrors
- Beefier interior storage - the TJ should really have come with something similar to tuffy console for the interior. On a vehicle that you expect people to take doors/top off you need atleast one well protected area.
I am curious as to what everyone else thinks.
