I was just wondering what is usually the first modification that people make to their jeeps. i am a first time jeep owner, but i have always loved adding mods. to my other vehicles.

drilled mirrors are usless in my opinon, but i hant had my door on longer than 3 weeks (total) since i bought it 4 months ago, but drilled cupholders, and drilled center concle for water drainage, but the best and more fun mod requires a sawzall! home made stubby bumpers! also you can pull the crappy carpet, i threw mine in the trash(along with my airdamn). i removed my rear swaybar asymbloy and made home made front discos for less than $15 lol


what ever floats ur boat, happy moding lol

I am over 6' tall so I rotate my rear view mirror upside down to give me more windshield to look out. This costs nothing takes less than a second and it still functions when you flip the night tab. (the other way) Try it!

My Very First Mod (on the way home from the dealer) talked to my Buddy at the tire shop and ordered Mickey Thompson MTZ 33x12.50x17 then the next morning called 4wd.com and ordered RE 2" BB with Monotube shocks, But the tires make it in 2 days before the BB so they went on FIRST!!
