Default Best mods for 5K?

I have a 5 grand buget for my 2011 JK Rubicon..

I already have Magnaflow Cat-back, K&N intake, HID head light and fogs, and KC bumper slimlite driving lights, and flashpaq waiting for software..

So besides those, what can I do to it to make it the perfect daily driver/long road trip and ocassional off-roader?...

I want to use my money wisely which is why I'm asking you guys...

Bumpers and winch! I see you already have a flashpaq. Consider maybe a snorkel for that extra protection in mud and water crossings. Keep in mind that it reflects on your activities with your rubi.

Do you have a Diesel JK or the gasser 3.8 V6???

Lift, bumpers would be an excellent start and if you do more extreme off-roading look at a winch.

If you have the diesel and need more performance look at upgrading your turbo.

I own a diesel 4 door rubi in Turkey, I go there in summer, its already got straight pipe, literally no cats, no dpf ,no egr, no muffler or resonator, and ported turbo, doesnt need more power. and I have the gasser 2011 in Orlando, 2 door rubi, I'm thinking of 2.5 lift, control arms, track bars and 5.38 gears, and 35s for it...and kc lights, and a volant snorkel/intake combo.

Since rims are overspending, I'm gonna get spacers to clear out 35s...
