Default What next?

Money has been tight lately (mainly because I make it that way) and I make sure to have a certain minimum amount in our savings account. After some major home purchases and going on a cruise, I have gotten that amount back so am now ready to buy something new for the Jeep.

I put on some 33" Pro Comp Xtreme's a while back and love them. Hit some trails with them but have never flexed them real hard, and get some pretty good performance with them already. I have yet to run into a situation where I needed a lift.

1) Side "steps" (thinking the Shrockrock sliders)
2) Front bumper (Looking at that new Mopar one coming out)
3) Teraflex 2.5" lift
4) Other?

Here she is currently:

Maybe some offroad gear winch with accessories and highlift jack. Looks like you got a good start though. I'll be doing some more mods after the new year or maybe christmas( little over 90 days).

I would get a Rubicon hood decal. That way you get lockers, e-disco and D44s all around.

Or you could get a BB. Your choice.

07 JK Unlimited
3 inch BDS suspension lift
33x11.5x16
JKS Quicker Disconnects
Warrior Products Tube Doors
Mopar Off Road Rear Bumper
Oil Pan Tranny Skid Plate by SkidRow
Custom Front Winch Bumper by RoundStar OffRoad
Skyjacker Adjustable Rear Track Bar
Skyjacker Brake Line Extenders
Rock Krawler Adjustable Front Lower Control Arms
And Plenty of "CHARACTER" From rocks and Trees

Get some sliders and a good bumper. Shrockworks for both if you can swing it. I have seen some of the Mid-West groups sliders/bumpers and Shrockworks makes some quality products.
