Hi my name's Lindsey, I'm from Tennessee and finally got my first wrangler. It's a 2014 JK unlimited black sport. I've seen a bunch of mods that I would like to do but I'm kind of overwhelmed as to where to start. Any advice?

Welcome to the Forum Lindsey. You'll love your new Jeep. The first threads I would suggest are looking over the first thread:

I love the second thread. One of the best I think.

Default Muffler

Kind of embarrassed to say this... with the $10K+ I have spent on my Jeep, one of the best bang for the bucks was a magnaflow muffler. Sounds tough and makes it feel like a true offroad rig.

I wish I went slower on the lift. I have replaced almost the entire lift package I started with.

I would go mud terrains with some nice aggressive sidewalls. Again, silly, but just looks incredible. I am running 37" Trxus MTs and makes the jeep look like a monster.

Seat covers should be put on while you are at the dealer. The interior is way too fragile... too pretty. After many tries, the trek armors are the covers for me.

I would put black wheels on... I had chrome a long, long time ago and they were a huge pain. Black can get super dirty and still match the tire color. Totally no maintenance and adds to the overall Jeep look.

I would skip leveling, spacers, body lifts and just save up for a 4" lift. It's a big ticket item, but totally worth it.

Last, I put in a trunk enclosure. Too expensive for a piece of plastic, but can store a ton of stuff back there out of sight.

Hope this helps!
