Default Help me choose my birthday present

Here we are, another year gone by. My birthday is coming up and I always buy myself something for the jeep because no one I know knows anything about jeeps so I never get anything for it hahaha. Help me choose between ...

ARB on board air system

Metal flat fenders

AEV Snorkle (but I am not sure if it will work with the bushwacker pocket flares)

Or billet aluminum shifter nobs and e brake handle


Price is a bit of an issue.. I wish I could spend more.

Don't know what model you own but I told my wife that for Christmas and birthday I want the Tuffy underseat drawer (soft top) and the Kicker Mopar speakers (Sport model).

you don't have to buy anything(money issue...)but if you really insist on buying something be it practical(something that you actually use - not looks ...)- i see the compressor being top choice....

Do you already have an oil pan skid?

Unless you are running ARB's don't waste your money on an ARB "air" system. It is too slow airing up tires and better options exist. I run an extreme air electric compressor on my other jeep and it puts out 6 times the air of the ARB. I run a powerplant on my JKU and it is awsome - but too pricey. if you must get an air system, go buy one of the harbor freight aligator clip compressors when they send you a mailing with a half off coupon. That compressor is $50, but with the coupon it's only $25. It's the same speed as that ARB comrpessor for airing up tires. Sure, it isn't the coolest thing, but it works and saves you bank to spend on other things!

I vote for the steel tube fenders! They offer good body protection and looks, plus it is like putting a 2-3" lift on your jeep without raising it. You can now run larger tires if you want, or jeep the off-road look.

Is the ARB that slow? I am considering an on board compressor for my bday present as well. It's rated at 2.65 CFM, not good enough for 37s?
