I'm new to the jeep world and would like to set up my 2010 JK unlimited sport for all purpose. But I'm not sure what upgrades would be best to do first ? Any help would be appreciated.

I already swapped stock rims and tires.

 

Body protection.

After that, it depends on budget.

 

Under carriage first ?

 

I would go with Manual swaybar quick disconnects first which will allow you to flex more.

Set of a Rock rails and then if you want get an Oil Pan skid and Evap Skid. The rest is all skidded up already.

Depending on what you want to do....you could either lift it or go with flat fenders.

 

Well I just decide to go with some lights to light things up if it gets lated and LoD bumpers and Evo sliders and will buy a winch, and then see how she drops and then probable purchase a lift. guess it always depends on what you will be doing with it.

 

I want it to be all purpose. Only thing I'm not to big on is the beach thing. I def like to play in the mud whenever I get the chance, but mild crawling does intrigue me. Did a little in TX with my dodge.

 

I would focus on armor and axle reinforcement first. Once u start bending stuff on ur axle, its not good. I had a very slight bend in my axle housing and they are able to install off road evolution sleeves anyway since it was very slight, if the bend had been worse, I would ahve been out of luck. My C's were straight but people are bending them as well. IMO this is how u should do it (this isnt how I did it though but I have learned the hard way)

1st round

Sleeves
Gussets
diff covers
Evap canister skid
Sliders
oil pan protection
lower control arm skid/pref weld on when u do sleeves and gussets

this seems like a lot but u can get sleeves, gussts and lower control arm skids for like 250 bucks-add on another 300-400 for labor and welding. Everything else do yourself.

Round 2

2.5 inch Spacer lift and 35s
regear + lockers
rear bumper

round 3

winch and front Bumper
Nice coil lift with adjustable control arms (good stuff like teraflex, clayton, Rockkrawler)
New drive shafts

Round 4

37s and Pro-Rock

(may never be needed)

If I had to do it over again, this is how I prob would have gone but your needs may be drasticly different. Sleeves and gussets are not sexy but they provide nice piece of mind, espec on 4 door.

 

Def appreciate the breakdown, thanx.

Dirtman, you've been alot of help In all my threads, thanx man!

 

Indeed! I'm sure we will cross threads again!

 

I'm on vacation for 2 week and currently in Disney world, but hoping to find some trails next week. Kind of tough living in VA, but was told there are a couple places in NC about 4 hours from me.
