Question What would you get????

Well I'm getting a decent tax return this year and have alotted a portion of it to my Jeep...however not a very large portion being that I have other things to worry about. My question to all of you is what would you get with about $300??? You can look at my signature and see what I already have...

Here's a couple of things I really want...but are a little too expensive ($$$ burns a hole in my pocket and I don't know how long I'd beable to hang on to it):

Shrockworks front stubby bumper in textured black...not sure with or with out winch hoop...but then I'd need to go and buy a winch and some fog lights.

Either Shrockworks or Poison Spyder Rock rails & Poison Spyder body armor.

Poison Spyder steel tube fenders

Rockrails first and save for the bumper.
The rails will protect the side of your jeep from trees, rocks, idiots slammin their car door into your jeep, etc. Since you want a new bumper, who cares if you scratch yours up while you save.

Yeah, rock rails have already saved my door. I left the store one day and say a line of blue paint on my rail.

I like the Expedition 1 bumpers, but that's just me.

Default Rock Rails

I got rock rails 1st b/c I had a bare pinch seam. Something needed to be there and protection was my goal.

I'd go with rocker rails or guards first. It adds to the look and as mentioned not only helps offroad but keeps the soccer mom damage to a minimum at the grocery.

The other option would be to lock the rear.

I would get a couple cases of beer ($30), full tank of gas ($50), camping gear loaded in jeep, some food ($20) and head to the mountains for the weekend. I would do that three weekends in a row! Take pics.

After the armor, right? You know the cases of beer make things show up on the Jeep that were not there before.
