he never said he was going to offroad, he just asked our opinions on how he should mod, so i told him i would put lights first bc the stock are p.o.s. and then i suggested if he did want to go offroading to add protection...any more brain busters?

you said lights first either way, buddy. lights won't get you home when you peel a diff cover or puncture your oil pan. if he wants purely aesthetic mods, then fine. he didn't specify one way or the other, so i went with functional mods for a stock wheeler. the stock lighting might suck in the opinion of some, but it's not like you can't go without changing it out. that's not to say that you MUST change the things i listed, but i'd be more comfortable in a rig with the mods i listed rather than a stocker with extra lights hanging off of it. just sayin...
