Default How to spend money?

Salutations fellow jeepers! I am a wealthy individual who has recently bought a 2012 jk. I have alloted 25,000 (+/- 5,000) to modify this new jeep. I have been a collector of cars for years, owning everything from classic Mercedes and BMWs to Lamborginis. This is my first off roader in 7 years besides my daily 2010 Silverado 2500 Z71. I wish that you would help give me ideas on how to spend this money. Thanks.

LOL!

Assuming this is true, send your jeep to Off Road Evolution for the full treatment.

I wish! I would agree send it to AEV or the like. Tell them to spend the money, then enjoy. The rest of us will buy one peace at a time over 5 years or more. Lol just remember that you are way "cooler" if you mod it yourself.

Fully skidded, aluminum headers, cold air intake, getting ARB lockers soon and well as magnaflow exhaust. I've got a lot of smittybilt interior and tops as well

first send me the money.
then see how well it does stock it does amazing stock!

all kidding aside, how big do you wanna go?
daily driver?
If it were me I would go with a 4 inch long arm lift kit. I believe EVO makes a really nice kit.
throw some good looking 37 inch tires of your choice underneath.
put some Dana 60's pro rocks underneath the bad boy!
then start looking at bumpers. find bumpers YOU like. what looks good to you. throw a winch up front, go warn, they make great winches.
maybe start lookin at some flat fenders, poison spyder ones look awesome in my opinion!
you are gonna need some protection, get all the skids underneath that you'll need. get some rock rails, decide if you want some with a step, or no step.
I would supercharge it!! is there a supercharger out for the 2012? someone else can confirm this!
as for interior I would find some nice offroad seats for the inside, Mastercraft RS look awesome!

ummm well I probably forgot some stuff and others will chime in! have fun modding it!! welcome to the addiction.

Some long arms and evo coil overs some 37s with the rims of your choosing poison spyder armor and bumpers winch and I'd switch that motor with a diesel Jeff's jeeps in Tampa is putting a v6 Cummings but that's 20,000 in it self.

Best advice I got, do your own research here on the forums and decide what YOU want. You're just going to get individuals ideas on what their hopes and dreams are for their jeep by asking people what you should do.

If you don't want to research, like previously stated, pick a big name shop and hand them the cash. Come back in a month or so and pick you your decked out Jeep.

On a side note, I wish I had enough money to ask people I've never met how I should be spending it.

Hit the jeep with either a supercharger or the new turbo. Power is a huge issue once you get going big. Then go with a nice 4 inch lift and a pro rock 44 axle in the front. The rest is just cosmetic personal preference. You must first decide what kind of driving you plan on doing...trailer queen, mall crawl. Rock climber, mudder, etc... That decision will make a huge difference on what TYPE of lift you choose. All the big brands in my opinion have a great products, but you must decide on how,you are going to drive it first. It saves you in the long run if you for example wanted to Baja style drive in the desert and did a 4 inch sort arm...instead of the preferred EVO coil overs.
