Default What would you get (for you jeep) with $1500?

So we got our tax returns back... I'm spending $1500 on the jeep and putting the rest into savings. I currently have 33's and 1.5" lift and thousands on items saved to my amazon wish list but thought I would see what ideas you guys suggest before the money burns a whole in my pocket....

So let's hear it, what would you get (for you jeep) with $1500?

Lets start off with what you have first. Do you have a stock rig except for the 33s and 1.5 lift? What type of build are you going for (I.e. rock krawler, mudder, expedition, daily driver, etc.)? Do you carry passengers frequently? This will help tremendously with the advice we give.

Yeah, pretty much stock daily driver other than the 33s and leveling kit. I haul two kids to/from day care every day too, so this is as high as I can reasonably go. Just looking to see what people would get to spark ideas for myself.

Yes for the love of God please get rid of that Eyesore they call a Front bumper. It is the most ugly thing on the Jeep and it must go!! Plus you can alway pitch it to the wife as adding safety. Because we all know that stock front bumper made from the Play-school division of Jeep would crumble if anything hit it.

Here is my Bumper next to that ugly POS stock one
