Default What next???

So I can't decide what to get for jeep next so I will turn to the masses!!

Budget: 500 or less
Definitely out: any lift
What I currently have:
2010 4 door rubicon
Cobra 75 on versamount with firestik
All around floor mats n cargo mat
Smittybuilt tailgate molle system with gear on it
Ipf headlights
Pilot fogs in stock locale
K&n drop in air filter

I think thats it for now, I was thinking of some light force lights for the windshield or the arb onboard air compressor.... Or something else? What do you guys think?

Save a couple hundred more for a bumper and a winch.

Dual battery kit from benchmark. Stage 3 with a boost option. Or plan ahead if you want a rror snorkel and get a remote mount dual battery setup.

Two votes for a snorkel eh? I have my eye on the RR xhd bumper.... I'm trying to keep it under the wife radar, lol I do need to get a winch though... Maybe I'll just pull the trigger on the bumper and winch

I was and continue to be in the same boat with keeping the high dollar purchases under the radar from the wife . I ended up buying the RR XHD winch bumper from Northridge because you cannot beat their prices, free shipping, and no sales tax. Think I paid around $330 and then a month later, purchased a Superwinch LP10000 from Amazon for $370, free SS shipping, and no sales tax. Of course, you still have to decide on bumper accessories and I ended up buying end caps and a bumper hoop as well. Good luck with your decision.

The Superwinch is nice and I felt that it was the best available winch for the money although the XRC winches are nice too. I also agree with you on the flexibility of the XHD system and if you get bored with it, there are several ways to change it up.
