Default What should I buy

So, I lost my license a couple of months ago, and have not been able to drive it, which absolutely kills me. Well I get it back in a month, and I want to come back to a more bad ass jeep. I already have a 2 inch lift on it. A couple of ideas I had were bumpers or wheels. I have approximately $1500 to spend. I know it's not much for what I want. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or ideas.

I would go with front and rear bumpers. Dont go with wheels and tires until you need them.

I'd hang onto your cash until you price SR22 insurance.
