Default New Jeep, First Mod???

Hey Everybody! I finally took the plunge and got my first Jeep, and I just moved all the way from NJ to Central Iowa. I got a stock 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X (with 3.21 gears) and now I'm trying to decide what my first mod should be. What do you all suggest for a first mod? Thanks!

My first mod was tucking my garage opener into the roll bar gap of padding. Found somewhere on here.

Lift, tires(wider ones or use spacers to push out those tires), rims, then regear.

My first few simple mods were: bedlining rims, blacked out taillights, turn signals, side markers, mopar grab handles, hoist for my hard top

X2 on that thread. I drilled my mirrors and may do the grill mod off that thread.

My first and so far only mods: grab handles, removing the jeep emblem off the grill, changing my wrangler and unlimited stickers to black, a black JK forum sticker, and new black wheels. All of those except the wheels are pretty cheap/free.
