Ok, so I just got my new 2011 JK 2-door soft top about a month ago and I've poked around on the forum to try and decide what to do with it. I'm wanting to make an expedition style rig (obviously no roof rack unless there is one compatible with the soft top). I was thinking about getting a 3 inch lift, 35 or 36 inch tires, beadlocks, overhead and grill mounted fogs, body armor front and rear bumpers, and a winch.

With that being said, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should change/add etc. And also what brand parts should I get?

Thanks!!

 

About the body armor bumpers - the fronts are great. Love mine immensely. I'd only 50% recommend the rears (they have tire carrier drooping issues, and the high-clearance rear bumper has no provisions for jerry cans - you'll need that for an expedition build - or hi-lift jack). Maybe check out the Rancho bumper/carrier combo? I wish I got that now.

 

remove your muffler and air dam....throw them in the trash.

 

Ok I'll check that out. Did you have sagging issues with the bumper?

And what's the air dam? I was thinking about also getting aftermarket exhaust and an air intake (most of what I plan on doing doesn't include fording deep water so idk if I'd need a snorkel or not. Even though think they look sick)
