The biggest diff u can make right off the bat is small lift and mud tires. Other than that bumpers. If u plan to off road you can't go wrong with skid plates. For example, we bought my wife a jku x about a 2 week or so ago. I put a 2.5 lift on it with some 33 in mud tires in the first 3 days of having it here is a before and after.

What do you want from your jeep. Better off road, looks, all above... The jk is very capable off road out of the box. I did a 2" aev bb. Off road lights. Tuffy under seat box. Adding rr side armor in the next few weeks. Probably do the evaporate skid next. Don't neglect all the free mods in the cheap and free mod thread

I made the mistake of taking mine off road the first week i had mine. Didnt have any rocker protection and voila, my first dent came from a tree branch popping me right below the driver door. So some sort of slider or rock rail would be my first suggestion.

If you're not going off road right away you should get some 20s because the chicks dig it.
