Default Best way to Spend ~1000

So I finally got my taxes in and I have approximately 1000 dollars to spend. Now I have to keep in mind that I already have a smittybilt src front. Everything else is stock and I think the tailgate has started to sag(but I might just be paraniod). Tell me what would you do?


and if its really cool I may be able to scrounge up some extra money.

Maybe if it makes my jeep drive better offroad, hold up the tailgate, and looks awesome all at the same time!

What size tires do you plan to go to eventually? Or do you plan to stay stock? The answer to that will affect your upgrade path.

If you could come up with the extra 300-400- bucks, I'd go for new tires a 2.5 in BB and wheel spacers. You can get 34" BFG KM2's for about 200 bucks a piece. but since your still stock you'll need a BB and Spacers.

If not then you could donate it to a good Cause.......Say Abock33's Mud tire fund. Then I could get the 34's.

x2

you can also find a cheap set of practically new preowned springs from one of the board members if your really worried about the sag...

spend the grand on all but tires....put it all on and then when your sick of looking at your jeep with a ton of tire/fender clearance you'll force yourself to save the $$ for tires.

I'd get a stripper for a night. or go to vegas or some place with roulette and put 1k on red for a chance to double up. thats normally what i do with extra paychecks that don't have bills to pay with. my win over loss ratio is wayyyyyyyyyy better and I make a ton of money that way.
