Alright so I have a guy who is giving me $5,000 worth of mods in exchange for some advertising. The question is if you had $5,000 to spend on your Jeep and you were pretty much starting from scratch, what would you spend it on? I am trying to get the most out of the money but quality of course is important. It is mainly a DD but my goal is to build it so that I can do the occasional moderate off road trip.

I already have a Body Armor front bumper w/winch plate, neoprene seat covers, AtoZ rock sliders, Panasonic AVIC-F90BT, lights on bumper, and a few other accessories.

I know I want a lift,35's and wheels....

 

I need some stuff too. That would help you spend it a lot quicker.

 

Toss in a RIPP system. . .

That is what I would do anyway.

 

x 2 . . .. ..

 

I asked a similar uqestion last nigth to a friend in my 4wd club and he started naming off stuff that related to my axles! Apparently the Dana 44's in my Rubi require major renovation to handle the off-roading he would do if he drove it! I know they aren't "true" dana 44's but man..he was reaplcing everything!!!

But for daily driver stuff with some moderate off road..

Lift
tires
gears
exhaust
some addtional off-road lights or maybe a snorkel (they look cool!)

That should cover the $5000 unless you go the cheap route and do all the work yourself.

 

I actually looked at the supercharger last night. I think it's on special right now for around $3500.

Someone concoct me a setup with the RIPP, 35's and and OME lift for around $5k (ill be doing all install myself.) And Ill be all over it

 

what model jeep are you starting with

model
gears
axels

i use my jeep as my dd and my weekend worrier so i go pretty easy on her, sounds like your in the same boat. if i had 5 grand to spend i would go with a 3" lift, nice set of 35x12.50r whatever you like the look of, new exhaust, evap relocate and maybe some flats.

with that you will look good sound good and get the best handleing on and off road

 

09 Rubicon 44's 4.10

 

Call me, I'll help you spend it all... Lol

I would start with,
Lift
Tires/rims
Regear, if it's not a ruby, add ARB lockers.

Then bumpers and a winch.
$5,000 can go a long way

 

The problem im having is that when you buy tires your need rims, and then you need the lift to clear them, and then you need the rear bumper/tire carrier to hold it...
So it seems like either Im going to have to go with Tires,Rims,Lift,Rear Bumper, OR

go all performance upgrades
