Volant cold air/snorkel
31" bf-Goodrich tires

Mygig w/ lock pick and reverse camera
Full redone sound system
Smittybilt front bumper w/ 8000 xti winch
Hard top/soft top/bikini top

Sliders, skid plates, budget boost, I guess it really depends on how handy you are.

I wouldn't lift it too much. If you do, then you'll want bigger tires. It's a vicious cycle. From your post it doesn't seem like you do the kind off-roading that would require skid plates. I'd think about a new rear bumper, spider shade, doors? (Soft, trail, half) or even new wheels. There's so much cool stuff out there.

x2 If I was going to start over, I'd go with armor first.

Bigger tires, lift, or flat fenders. The JK lift is easier the a TJ lift to me. You usually can do all the alignment in you driveway

Hmmm... Thanks alot guys I'm not looking to get bigger tires due to the fact it's my daily driver and for work I put about an average 80 miles a day. So I'm guessing the lift maybe a the next step any suggestions on which kind and one?

Why not look into a Soft Top for the summer months? It will give you the option to go topless much easier than the hard top does. You'll find a whole new love for you Jeep when you can walk out of work on a warm day and have the top off for the ride home. I don't care how bad of a day I've had once I climb in my Jeep with no top and doors and drive home. One of the best feelings on the world!

Hope this helps!
