Default Getting the itch

Ok, I have been lurking on this site for years. I have done a few little mods but I am ready to take the plunge and lift my 2007 4 door X. I believe I have the items that I want.
Rough Country 2.5 Suspension lift (shocks and spring)
MB72 17" wheels
33" Nitto Trailer Grapplers

This about all my budget can handle right now. I think it will look awesome.

Mods to come:
Cut my fenders (maybe tomorrow)
LEDs to the floor board and outside as Rock lights (if I can figure out where to put hem after a cut my fenders)
Lights mounted to windshield
Rough Country Hybrid Stubby Bumper
Winch
Grill Mod

Running naked for the first time.

Thanks for the encouragement. The lift looks good too. I'm going to have all black add ons. I'm not into the silver or chrome parts. I'm gonna have to add

Just make sure you remove all the lights off so you don't get paint on the jeep

Tinted my marker, tail lights and turn signals today. Not perfect but I think it looks good. Thanks for the help.
