Yup definitley have the tools so now I have a weekend project. Jeep is always more important than packing to go to college.

The first thing to buy is the Superchips, then pick your size on the Teraflex Coil Spring Lift with OME shocks (Stay away from hockey pucks), then you can pick your tires..

I'm not sure that ill be getting the 35's for awhile so im completely lost on which to get first. Im planning on running the 35's on the stock rims. As for right now im leaning toward getting the bumper and leveling kit but then I think I should get the 2.5 because im not sure if ill have the money to get the lift and tires later on. So im thinking im gonna go with the 2.5... If i do does it look aka ward with the stock 32'' mud terrain.
Just get some windshield lights for fun. They pay off when you get bored!

Smile Protection first

I would think u want to protect your investment first, it aint no fun if on your first day on the trail u cave in ur rocker panel and can no longer install ur doors

1. rock sliders and some additional skid plates to protect easily damaged and expensive componets. (watch some of the videos on youtube).

2. lift and tire, if u go with 35's you are going to have to re-gear to be happy with ur jeeps performance on/off road.

3. bumpers and recovery items.

2 and 3 could be swapped, depending on how hardcore u are going go offroad

IT AINT OFFROADING IF ALL 4 WHEELS ARE ON THE GROUND

As ludski has said I already ordered my 2.5 coil lift with shock adapters. Then next I plan on doing spidertrax followed by superchip. As I said I won't be able to offroad intensely until next summer and by then I'll have more money to get other mods and armor that's why its not an option right now. I'm getting tires around November time so I wanna get things that go along with that right now. That's why I chose the lift superchip and spider
