Spend my money!!
I got 300.00 to spend on MODs for the '12 JK Sport and wanted to get yall's suggestions on what you would buy. I have 59/18 rated springs and shocks from a JKU Rubi, and I plan to trim the fenders for new wheels and tires later this year. I like the idea of getting trail ready, but I also have a lot of smaller/cosmetic type items I'd like to get since I could get a lot with 300. What would you get?

The first things everyone should have before hitting the trails are tools and recovery gear. A strap with some D-rings and basic wrenches , screwdrivers, etc are a must. After that I would get either onboard air or a portable compressor. I air down anytime I'm offroad and looking for a working compressor at a gas station and spending $4 to fill up or making a buddy wait around while you fill your tires is a pain. If you run with a group a CB would be next.

I'm gonna wait on OBA as I'm still working out the schematics of what I'm wanting to do. Also, anytime I go there are multiple people with OBA and recovery equipment to help out. Right now I'm not ready to take it off road. That's what I'm wanting to build up to.

I agree, or smitty SRC rock sliders, ace makes some under $300 as well to fit your budget.
Maybe set it aside and add to it for a winch? Or get something like the engo 9k for $300 shipped I think.
Get an spod to be prepared for all the wiring up you will be doing.
$300 could probably get you some good kc/ipf/hella lights and some windshield a pillar mounts, or add less that $100 more to that and get some rigid duallys for something like $385 or less.
I think there is a big sale still on bilstien 5100 shocks for something like $279 shipped. That would be a good investment.
I'm full of ideas!

Pm kolak in the vendor adv section. He had a Xmas deal going on.
Also, thought of something else. Get the solid grab handles from ken @ welcome distributing...see the vendor adv section again. One of my favorite things I ever did was to get rid of those worthless, floppy grab handles. The solid ones are 1000x better.
