Default New JK Rubicon

Hi guys! Am just about to confirm an order for a new JK Unlimited Rubicon (waiting on the deposit for my JK to come through from the buyer). Am ordering it with what I want on it this time (rather than build over time) so have requested:
ARB Front and Rear bar
IPF Driving lights
Towbar
285/75R17 BFG KM2's on Factory rims

to come with the car as well as a hard top (of course). this particular model also has factory sat nav fitted. Also plan on adding Dual Battery and an Anderson plug connection to the rear for charging the camper battery and running the fridge, UHF Radio and a 2" lift at a later date.

Is there anything else you would recommend to get with a Rubi?

Maybe an AEV Snorkel, & get them to throw in the Mopar 4 DR Slush Mats, are you getting the rear ARB Bar with the Tire Carrier

TassieMav, which towbar did you go with? I have a new Rubicon coming in May (?) and am trying to sort through all the extras as well.

I also want to tow a camper trailer, so any help with the towbar thing would be good. I was trying to get the highest weight rated bar possible.

I loved the Slush Mats, so got them as part of the deal when I ordered.

I have a set of the slush mats already, they wore out very quickly on the drivers side, was going to go with something else!
Tyre carrier, no, hadn't planned on it. Are JK's still having issues with rear doors? Never had an issue with mine on my 2007 JK.
I just went with the OE towbar before, it's the chassis that will limit the tow weight, not the towbar set up (in most instances)

I havent heard of any issues with the rear tail door, was just curious as I have not seen many ARB Rear bars with the tire carrier
