DISCLAIMER: I'm blatantly stealing this idea from another regional thread.

For those of you in the NW what do you find are the best mods that you have done? What are your recommendations?

Lift and good mud terrain tires. Break over is bad on the JKUs.

Like NWBronco my favorites would be 37" MTR/K's and also my LigthForce lights. Especially in the winter it can get dark out on the trails rather quickly, and we all know the stock headlights suck.

Definately a good set of tires for the sloppy soup out here, lift and some powerful lights to cut through the dark wetness...

Evap skid for piece of mind, that thing is really exposed. Same thing on wire insert to fill in grill holes and protect the rad/ evaporator from sticks and stones. Pulling out the carpet so Its easier to clean up after my two kids and/ or after a weekend of camping out on dirt roads with no top on.

I have a long list. Here's what's done so far:
1) Full width LoD bumper + Engo 10000E winch with synth line
2) extra lights (Hella 4000 and 500, PIAA 540)
3) added Spidertrax to accommodate the 35in tires
4) HAM and CB radios
5) or-fab tire and gas can carrier
6) Vector e-dock
7) painted the OEM rims black

Good tires. Because without good tires you couldn't make your winch look like this...
