$100 to spend - What would you buy?
 

Got a $100 incentive given to me today, from work and figured I'd see what I could spend it on. My JKU is stock, so I could use anything.

Wife has mentioned grab handles, but I'm either leaning towards mirrors when the doors are off, or some emergency kit.

Any suggestions?

I say go with the grab handles. Anything you can do to make your wife think modding the Jeep is her idea is a good thing.

Go with some Smittybilt extreme grab handles 1. They are cheap, like $15-$20 2. They are three strap so they don't pinch together and 3. You will have plenty of money left over for something else while satisfying the wife at the same time. I don't recommend a lot of Smittybilt stuff but these have worked well for me

My : 2cents :

Two of my firs mods were Rugged Ridge mirror relocation brackets and Rugged Ridge tail light guards. One is functional and the other cosmetic.

Do both. :thumbsup::beer: Get the grab handles for your wife, and then just stop by the nearest Harley Davidson dealer and pick up a basic round left-side mirror (only about $20) - it will bolt right in the door hinge when the doors are off.

pickup some quadratec floor liners if you don't already have all season-type mats!

hrmm get the grab handles and Rugged Ridges new mirros they are only like 69 for a set. then tell the wife " i went a little over budget getting you these grab handles"


it worked for me when i was getting other parts on a budget:beer:

I see zero mods in your description so I don't know if you have anything on your jeep.

Assuming you have nothing, but $100 to spend, I would scour the used items section to see what you can get for cheap. $100 can get you some pretty nice stuff!

For example - I picked up a pair of RE 4.5" lift springs, brand new, for $70 total. There is a lot out there. I bet you could get a used CB system for $50 or so, a complete set of floor mats for $50. I've seen Sahara side steps sell for $100 shipped. Do you have fog lights? A front bumper and recovery hooks could be had for uder $100. Used grab handes are $20 shipped (that's what I sold mine for).

If you only want new check out sites like Quadratek and 4wd.com for nic nack items.

Have fun!!!

Grab handles and a Bestop under seat storage box.

Buy something from Quadratech for $8... pay $92 in shipping profit they'd charge you and there you go... $100... :doh:

No mods currently, I've had the Jeep for 2 months. Haven't had a chance to think about what I'd like to get into, eventually it will be new wheels/tires and a lift.....but for now it's just something to spend the $100 on.

Used to be, if I would have been handed the $100, my first thought would have been to have someone watch the kids and take my wife out to dinner. Now first thought was, what could I get to put the $100 to good use, for the Jeep :rotflmao2:
