I got $500.00 bucks for spending my stock JK, now what?
 
Not that I don't know how to spend my own money, just interested in opinions here.

I bought a 2010 Jeep Sahara, hard top. Just sold some stuff on craigslist, so I am planning on spending the cash on my jeep.

I was thinking of buying a soft top, some guy is selling one for 500$ with all hardware and claims it's brand new. This would be nice for the summer.

Or I have also been wishing my jeep had hands free and ipod connectivity. But it kinda feels like a rip off paying nearly 500 bucks to add it to my stereo. Not interested in any aftermarket units either.

Or- I have also been thinking about adding a Truetrac to the front dif, not sure if it's completely necessary, just want to make sure I never need to get yanked out of some snow bank or mud hole by some hummer! I would add a rear locker later. (There are tons of them in these parts)

Also been thinking about a teraflex leveling kit, and some warn lights. Both would be nice and would set my jeep apart from the other two black JK's in our small town. But I am not sure how the jeep would look lifted with 32 inch stock tires.

Thoughts?

I would get the top if I were in your shoes.:wink:

Yeah, the top seems right to me. Never had a soft top before. Thanks for the reply!

If your in Jersey, I doubt you will be using the soft top anytime soon

get a recon winch (ebay) and a winch mount plate (harbor freight), and you will be able to unstick yourself untill more money arives, I just got this set up for right at $500

But I bet I couldn't get a top for $500 in the summer.

Get a Superchips Flashpaq! More power and mileage and some neat features.

Everyone I have talked to hates their soft tops.:beer:

Also I dowloaded a 20% off coupon for Harbor Freight, and went straight to the store and picked up the winch mount plate.

I vote for a leveling kit and wheel spacers.
