1) Ditched the stock bumper for a home made C-channel bumper. Each end is bent 30° inward to give it a little character. Can't wait to start welding additions to it!
2) Dyed all the plastic trim - fender flares, rear bumper, side mirrors etc.
3) Painted the inside of the fender lining black. My wheel wells don't look so ugly anymore.
$30 scrap channel
$8 dye kit
2x $9 Dupicolor spray bedliner.
- $10 Pep Boys gift card
All said and done - $50.

Added Polk DB651S to sound bar and dash, if you attempt - get brackets from Crutchfield and a twelve pack. You will drink one doing 3, the remaining eleven are for the drivers side front speaker.

Added KC Daylighters to my Rugged Ridge XHD bumper, installed an Airaid CAI, & swapped out the stock hood latches with the Daystar replacements. It was a good week for the Jeep!
Sadly, my wife is not as thrilled as I am....

Added heated seats and set the appointment for the 3" suspension lift, 35" MT Baja MTZ's, and ATX Artillery wheels for Tuesday. Finally wore enough tread off the factory tires to justify upgrading it all, but in hindsight I should have done it the day I bought the Jeep.
