Right, but I didnt want anything not on the door. I like the mirrors on my hard doors, and didn't want anything on the Jeep when the hard doors are on. When I switch to softs in the summer, I wanted a mirror that stays on the door, that way I can switch doors back and forth without changing mirrors around.

Plus I find it easier to see out of them when they're mounted to the doors and not further ahead on the body.

I don't switch mirrors when I change doors around.

If you are looking for a way to put the stock mirrors on a soft door, you may be looking at making your own mounts.
 
Antirock is up there for me, along with the winch.
 
Ok, I didn’t see this anywhere else.
1. Angry bird grill
2. Light bar
3. 20” wheels
😁
Nah just kidding. Probably my best mod was aftermarket headlights. Hard to see with the factory ones

If we want to broaden this to important accessories, I was able to really appreciate soft shackles yesterday. We had a guy roll over onto his side while climbing tall ledge. I ran up and quickly tied a soft shackle onto the frame below the door for the winch line. We could have done it without, but the versatility of the soft shackle made the job that much easier to attach where there isn't a recovery point.
Isn't that what a tree strap is for? I guess people like carrying lots of gadgets that do the same thing.

Similar. In this case it broadens the options. If a tree strap can't be attached directly, than a soft shackle is more likely to make the connection. I could have struggled to make a choke around the frame. But the shackle was easier and the placement was better.

Their primary intention is to no longer require a steel shackle. There is more going on than simple gadgetry.

I get it, just yankin' your chain because you listed a soft shackle as your favorite mod.

I bought two of these earlier this year...
https://www.4lowparts.com/shop/soft-shackle/I'll get two more soon.
I have one from another manufacturer and it did make a recent recovery go easier. I think I will pick one up from TRE, their description says it is 10" in diameter. Many other ones are 6" and I think the extra room might be useful at times.

In Order of How to get you anywhere by yourself and not have to leave your jeep
1. Winch and recovery gear
2. Lift
3. Hi-Lift type Jack
4. Tires
5. Re-gear
6. Lockers
(5 and 6 should be done together to save the most time and money)
 
Is a bottle jack considered a hi-lift type? Mine is a 2 stage and I carry a few blocks of wood to set it on.

In my personal opinion, without knowing the exact size of the bottle jack and its total possible length it can extend, I would say no. Realistically it depends on your lift points ( axle, frame, bumpers or rock sliders etc.) to determine what type of jack you need. I only ever lift from rock sliders or bumpers with my High Lift when I am out on the trail. Now yes the high lift isn't the safest thing ever nor are the lift points always idea but sometimes the situations you get stuck in just are not idea for use for any other jack style .
 
Removed stickers off of the sun visors

How did you get those stickers off? I switched the driver and passenger visors so I wasn't always seeing the stickers. But I'd love to just remove them entirely.

The few times I have needed (or have witnessed the need) to jack up the Jeep, it's been done by the axles. Maybe we aren't trying hard enough, but we have never used a jack to get unstuck.
