Default convince me !!

hey everyone!

I am currently a full time college student, and during summer break ive been working 55-60 hours a week doing 2 jobs, and any side jobs to make a few bucks. Since i will not be working as much during school i have September-May Jeep Payments sitting in an envelope. Anyways, since I am fortunate enough to have some side cash I feel as though i deserve to buy something for my 2011 2Dr...So ive come to you all for some convincing!

I am currently looking at a set of Trek Armor Seat covers, either smittybilt/ACE sliders, tire upgrade, MBRP grill guard ETC. I would really appreciate some help on convincing me why and what i should by for my Jeep!. Thanks alot in advance!

I'd say go for bigger tires. I have sliders but have never needed them. If you feel like rocks will really be an issue, go for sliders. I feel like tires are a great mod though. Better traction, more clearance, and usually less likely to rip/tear in comparision to the ones you may have now.

x2 on the tire upgrade. It's a night and day difference from the stocker look! Will cost more than $250-300 bucks though..

I've been watching my local CL and this forum for some deals on tires. No luck yet ! I really want the trek armor seat covers, but the 260$ on seat covers is tough to swallow. They worth it ?

what size tires are you running now? a full set of upgrades will be more than 3-400 but you might be able to find some 32' rubi takeoffs if you check with dealers. call jeff tucker at Metro Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge in Johnston. his dealership installs terra-flex and he's a pretty good guy - i bought a used grille from him

Im running stock 17 in SRAs now. I've been told to check dealers for take offs but just assumed they will be over priced... What would they charge for a TF lift roughly ?

couldn't tell you, but they did tell me that it should affect warranty, and it's always nice to know a mod-friendly dealer

Somewhere on here I saw a link to Quadratec with front seat covers for like $150 with rear set free. I can't remember if it was trek armor or not, but it looked like it. Maybe search Quadratec and try to find what I'm talking about, b/c I can't seem to find it!
