first start out getting simple things like Grab handles, or for that you can get a front bumper and winch and try to go get stuck? either way once you start buying stuff you will get that addiction all of us have.

Def go with diff covers esp if you need to change your diff fluid soon... Rock rails are nice if you dont have any depending on the type of wheeling you do. Also evap relocation or skid plate

I agree,the rubi wheels over stock SRAs will give the jeep a much more aggresive look and stance. Ive seen brand new rubi take-offs for around $500 on craigslist for the set (5)

I just ordered my front bumper and winch from Northridge. It came out just shy of $1,000. This is my first expensive mod. I wouldn't buy tires yet if I was thinking of getting a lift. You don't want to spend a lot on a set of tires and have to get rid of them later. If you aren't climbing on rocks, I don't think the diff cover would top my list. You really need to let people know what you intend to do with the Jeep.

If your doing some mudding diff covers are def a must. Lowest point on the jeep and you can't see whats under the mud

Well if your mudding you might want to extend your vent lines or even get a snorkel for those just in case moments.
