Mods "NOT" to Avoid

So one of my favorite threads here is the "Mods to avoid" thread. (That thread should be a sticky! Hint Hint)

http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/mods-avoid-432090/

Maybe I'm missing it somewhere but I would also like to a see a thread for mods with no regrets

My most recent has been the Viking Fastback and Safari Straps.

Let's hear some of your successful mod stories.
