Plenty of things you can spend $1000 for the Jeep other than lighting. If you don't already have them, though, get a good set of replacement headlights. JW SPeakers, TruckLites, or have a set of HID's custom built. Will have money left over even!
If it were me, though, I'd spend that money on something more useful for your Jeep, like onboard air so you can air up your tires after a wheeling trip. Or maybe some armor, like Poison Spyder corners/flares/rockers.
Or here's an idea.....and it has nothing to do with your Jeep. If you're not already....spend that money and get dive certified. That money will go a long way into getting your course paid for, getting the gear you need to start off with, and maybe something extra like a decent buoyancy compensator, etc. That, my friend, is a whole different world!
Just my take on it of course.

Hahahaha,some really good ideas there.I like the poison spider flat fenders,already got the 3.5" lift 35's ,lod sliders ,led headlights and orfab tire carrier.So I got to start somewhere,I see a lot of people running extra lights and winches, that was my reasoning for the spod, I guess I could do a big brake upgrade, or start saving for a set of half doors from mopar.

If nothing else, for the price of them, Do the super 7 upgrade with good bulbs. they are less than 100 bucks and you have a great headlight then. The total out the door with the super 7, harness, hella 500s, 55w HID kit for them, 55w/100w bulbs for the super 7s will run you less than a good light bar and mount. the cheap lightbars are cheap for a reason, they are JUNK. I think for 350 bucks plus shipping you can get everything for the Hella lighting setup, so you can still buy a winch with that!

$1000 will get you a nice winch. Thousand will get you chromoly axles front and rear. A 10" light bar or a pair of cubes above the front bumper will throw more light than you will ever need with a Jeep unless your bombing baja or the KOH at 80mph.

Beg to differ, as mentioned before my buddy has two rigid 20" and my 2 hella 500s with hid just puts out way more, and its great to have that even though I am not bombing baja or KOH....just back roads with lots of large wildlife I would rather see far off than in my cab. a pair of cubes are a joke actually.

Check out KC's light bar:

Very nice all purpose one.
If you mount the bar beneath your hood and angle it down like your fog lights, I'd imagine it will help a lot in snow.
Heated TruckLites from Northridge4x4 would be another thing to consider.
