Default Need help!!

Alright guys so I have around 700 dollars to spend. What do y'all think I should get? I was thinkin maybe of a snorkel and some Fox shocks. I have a rough country 3.5" suspension and 33s and I already have new wheels and a new rear ds. I need other things though and I thought y'all could help me out! Thanks

Front bumper and a winch.
If you think you're going to be in a situation where you need a snorkel, you'd probably need the winch before the snorkel.
I don't favor the look of the snorkel, but that's just me.

well there is a deal at a local offroad shop here for front and rear xrc bumpers for only $700. I might have to take that deal up and then save for a winch and so on.

I agree with bumpers and/or winch first. Unless it's a Mall Crawler, then the winch is almost useless.

CB Radio. Bumper/winch. Rock rails. Diff Covers. Oil Pan Skid. Evap Skid/Relocation. Recovery accessories (tow straps. d-rings..ect if you dont have any).

I love my snorkel but would never pay the price tag of $400+ for one

I've decided to take that deal up and go with the front and rear Smittybilt XRC bumpers for only 700. Hopefully will be installing them as soon as my sister gives my Jeep back to me.
