Newbie Mod Ideas
If I were to do it again, I would have bought d60 front and d80 rear axles with those Tom woods driveshafts before I got a lift and tires so I could get 37s or 40s and not be scared off-roading with those tires. Definitely would have bought a rear bumper with tire carrier before the bigger tires because now I never leave the tail gate open because I don't want it to sag.
I want to line-x the tub and get a lot of auxiliary lighting with hid projector headlights along with a front bumper with grill guard and if you plan on taking the doors off often, I would definitely get a set of delrin door hinge bushings. Check out the free/low cost mods thread too, lots of great ideas
For tires, I can say that the goodyear duratracs are performing very well for me so far
(Rear light guards and a stubby antenna are a must
)

Thanks! Everything on mine (except the wheels and tires) is DIY stuff I learned on the forums.. hehhe .... Speaking of wheels, that's a DIY thing you can do! You can plasti-dip or paint your stock wheels. That's one of the first things I did when mine was stock.... Totally changed it, here it is back in the good ole' days with painted wheels <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=569223"/>

Yeah, I meant to come back and mention that also. I have never actually ordered anything from them, (many people like them, I just have never ordered anything there) but when I was new to jeeps, I liked having the catalog and checking out the build-up stages using the same jeep. Gave some good ideas.
Up top on the forum somewhere is a vendors section. Wouldn't be a bad idea to PM a few of them when you decide on a part. Most will offer a forum discount and/or free shipping. Many of them are active and will even comment on your posts asking about certain products, and are very willing to answer questions.
