Hey all

I am new to the forum but not new to jeeps. I recently bought a 2010 Rubicon 6 speed with all the upgrades. It was time to treat myself after grad school!

Anywho, I am starting to look into upgrades and wanted to get the opinion of the experts! Having said that, keep in mind this is both my offroad fun (20%) and daily driver (80%) so it has to manage both.

Here is what I have already ordered and am puttin on in 2 weeks when i get it all:

5 Mickey Thompson MTZ Radial Tire 35X12.50R-17

5 Series 7028 Cast Black 5-Spoke Simulated Bead Lock Wheel by Pro Comp

Rubicon Express JK 3.5" STANDARD KIT, 2 DOOR

I have been looking at the forum for ideas but it is overwhelming.. Here is what im considering doing next:

- Upgrade rear tire holder to fit 35" tire.. Ideas?

- Upgrade front bumper and add winch... Ideas?

What else should I consider? Im interested in both aesthetic upgrades as well as functional ones...

Thanks all, there is so much to do!

 

Sounds like a good start!

Bestop makes a pretty good rear tire carrier.
But your on your own for the front bumper... Too many choices.

 

Yah the front bumper is a tough one. every one i see on here i like....

 

I am really liking this LOR rear bumper that another user posted. Look awesome.

 

Wow

So i priced out that rear and im lookin at $1,469.00!!!

Oh my..

 

LOD is some quailty stuff I love all my LOD bumpers and rock rails. Take a beating and stand up to it.

 

Yah i keep hearing that. Im pretty sure that will be the rear bumper...

What goes well with it as a front? Another LOD or something else? Looking to keep factory lights as well as add a winch...

 

Front LoD mid width

 

Looks Great!!

Think that just helped make the decision!

 

the rugged ridge xhd modular front bumper and the rear with carrier is hundreds less than the LOD. Looks good and functional and if purchased by Thursday, there's a $100 rebate. Bryan from 4wd.com put together a very good package price.
