Default 1,500$$$ to spend....

I need help spending 1500$ on my JK. I already bought 33s and a PSC brawler lite front bumper. Probably going to get the TF 2.5 coil lift w/bilsten shocks. And then.... no idea. Maybe a superchip and some quick disconnects. Any one have some input?

if youre going to off road.. the quick disconnects are a must.. id also get some rocker rails and some skid plates. my 33s fit on my stock tire carrier... and doesnt show any signs of buckling or anything.. however.. if i didnt have rockers on the side of my jeep i would have a helll of a lot more scratches and dents. so youre looking at..

$140 for JKS quicker disconnects
about $400 for side rails
$115 for an evap skid

youd be looking at about 700 bucks left to get whatever else.. maybe an oil pan skid.. gas tank skid... transfer case skid... your lift.. maybe leave some cash on the side for installation if you dont plan on doing it yourself.

Use that $700 for an oil pan/transmission skid.

Track bar if you don't already have it. then: quick disconnects, rock rails, tire carrier. Then save up for a flashpaq.

getting my hawks plate soon. and am dedicating my jeep to bulls and hawks. black jeep. red stickers. red glow. all black and red. and i go to EVERY game. so should look awesome once i get her built up a bit.
mmmmm...big ol jeep in the lexus section?! I THINK SO!
i used to work for a company that sponsors the blackhawks.. we would have events at games and i would park in the lot with all the nice cars. no one would park next to me.. i dont think they wanted to hit their doors on my rock rails.

I pulled the trigger and called Dave at northridge and got a TF 2.5 coil lift with OME shocks, superchip and JKS quick disconnects. Dave had them all in stock and shipped the order today!! Can't wait to do the install. Any pointers for the lift?
