Post Thoughts?

Got a 2010 Sahara a few months ago and I'm ready to add on. I'd appreciate it if you guys commented on what I'm planning on adding, so I can see if it would look good or terrible. I understand that everybody sees Jeeps differently, but I just want to hear what other people think.

* I have a 4-Door RED ROCK CRYSTAL Sahara with TAN INTERIOR but looking to possibly change from tan *

So here is what I had in mind:

* Rugged Ridge Eclipse Sun Shade (4-Door)
* Quadratec Summer Accessories Combo (Bimini Top, Channel Header, Windstopper, Tonno Cover)
* McGard Security Door Locks
* TreadLightly Floor Liners
* Smittybilt Seat Covers
* Clear Headlamp Protector and Foglamp Protector
* PIAA H13 Xtreme White Bulbs
* QR3 3" Side Step Bars
* 2.5" Lift Kit (Haven't decided)
* 18" DC Torque Wheels (Black)
* Fender Flares (Xenon, Bushwacker Flat Style, or Smittybilt XRC)
* Sub Wooder Kit with Kicker CompR Speaker and Kicker Amp
* Rampage 3D Grille (Diamond Black)

Total costs about $3,000 (Not planning to buy everything at once)

So let me know what y'all think

First of all, do things how you want to.

My opinion, you can save money in a few appearance areas and put it towards the suspension or tires. For example if you cut your stock fenders you would save ~$600 right there.

For wheels I would go 17 or 16 inch diameter. More tire options and better in other ways in my opinion.

Read and learn about many other free and cheap mods you can do and then research a lot before you spend the money on the bigger items. Good luck!

I have a Sahara with fenders that are the same material as the rest of the jeep. Can you cut that?

The sahara flares are just painted plastic and can be cut but don't look very good when trimmed.
