New JK and new to the forum
Hi all!
Just got my JK on 2/28. It is a manual 2014 Unlimited Sport JK with no frills, black :-)
Always wanted a wrangler since I was young and finally did it.
And probably like most, I want some lift, bigger tires, front and rear bumper upgrades, winch, and more.
I wanted to do the lift first but seems to be a lot to figure out and a little overwhelmed on what to do. I want to limit it to about 4K with the lift, wheels, and tires. Now wondering if I should just start with wheels and tires.
Overwhelmed but very happy with the JK.

Welcome aboard!! I'm jealous...I wanted either black or white, but the only manual trams they had was red when I bought mine. The salesmen couldn't believe that a girl refused to buy an automatic!
Lift, wheels and tires can definitely be done in that price range just depends on how big you wanna go! I did a 2.5" RC suspension lift for around $170 and got all 5 wheels and tires (16" MB TKO's with 285/75/16 (33" equivalent) from Discount Tire shipped to my front door for $1665. They give forum members a nice discount too! Mind you, my son and I installed the lift ourselves. But, it's a start....
Good luck and welcome to the addiction!!
