Default What to do what $500 in Mopar Credits ?

When i bought my 11 the other day apparently part of the deal is that I got $500 to spend on mopar stuff. What should i get?

What is everyone's opinion on the Mopar Winch bumper? it is retailing for $612 so that takes a big bite out of that price. The new one uses the stock fog lights so that is a plus. Before i bought the jeep i was planning on buying a ARB bumper. But now that i can get the Mopar one for $112 i would feel dumb spending $900 on one. That could be winch money.

What other accessories should i look at?

Cheers

Steve

Default mopar cash

I got the same deal on my 2010 when I bought it.

They tried to sell me the Uconnect setup for $500 but I didn't want it.

I decided on some other items, rear cargo mat, Rugged ridge light bar, Mopar sun bonnet, and a pair of grab handles. I had to pay around $15 out of pocket but not bad for what I got.

I think most their stuff is over priced, but I have their tire tread slush mats, and I really like them.

Doesn't Mopar carry AEV stuff now? $500 is a nice chunk out of the price of the rear or front bumper.

On my 2010 Rubi I had them add the trailer hitch with wiring and UConnect. I had to add $125.00 for the effort but I like the UConnect and needed the hitch.
Just my 2 cents

I would buy...
Air filters, oil filter (but I prefer wix), tranny fluid filter, wiper blades, pcv valve, and brake pads and drums if possible...
that way you are set for maintenance...

Someone is thinking. If you don't have to spend money on maintenance then you have more money for mods. Good thinking

Just had an idea. How if it's an auto have them put the $%#@%&*$!@# Tans cooler in, so you don't have to do it yourself later.
