Default hypothetical shopping.

2011 jk unlimited sahara
looking for power/performance
maybe a smail lift and bumper/winch as well

my hypothetical is simply: imagine all this could only be done via Truck Parts & Jeep Parts - Lift Kits, Winches, Tonneau Covers, Tires, Wheels, Bumpers, Performance

whats the best possible parts combos that could build this dream jeep?

they have no chargers or motors so its all modules...etc I'm a bit stumped and looking for solutions

How about a budget, usage/needs and actual future plans for the jeep, rather than a vague open ended question that will get about a bajillion different answers.

For actual power and performance, skip the bolt-ons and just start saving.

How about you go ask 4wp what to do , they build jeeps all the time for people

If you are trying to get more power out of jeep , then you won't be able to do that at 4wp ( or maybe I don't know it they sell turbo's or super chargers ) but back to what I said earlier

Go ask 4wp since they are helping you out

So looking to pull much more horsepower out of it.
A regear and a tuner for the bigger tires. An exhaust to make it 'sound' different? You just aren't going to pull a bunch of HP out of this engine with 4WP bolt-ons.

I'll go with:
2.5" RK max travel (probably end up with procomp or RE?)
35's of their choice (probably procomp?)
Rims with a 4.5 or less backspace (probably procomp?)
Warn Winch (or whichever winch they'll give you.
Rear bumper w/carrier (whichever they will give you)
Front winch mount bumper (whichever they will give you)
Programmer/Tuner (probably a procal?)
Hella lights w/windshield brackets
Bushwacker flats
CB, grab handles, underseat concealed carry drawer, behind seat storage, bikini top. Seriously, just go through the catalog and start picking...

Thinking it will just end as : whatever they will give you...

If it were me I would go with:

35x12.50R17 Toyo Open Country MT
17x8.5 Pro Comp Alloy Wheels La Paz series 29 satin black
2.5 inch Rock Krawler Max Travel kit
Fox Reservoir shocks
Poison Spyder Brawler Lite front bumper
Poison Spyder rear bumper w/tire carrier
Garvin Rock rails
Bushwacker Flat flares
Warn winch
Volant cold air and snorkel kit
Airaid throttle body spacer
JBA Cat4ward ceramic coated headers
MagnaFlow Offroad Por Series exhaust
Bully Dog Triple Dog GT tuner
ARB Front and Rear lockers
G2 Gears front and rear probably 5.13's or so

Yeah that feels like it should about do it! Unfortunately there is not much power to be pulled out of the 3.8 motor without boost of some sort which that sight does not appear to offer. Personally I think that the list above should put together one heck of a Jeep.
