Default What should my next mod be??

So i've saved up about 500 bucks and i know if i don't spend it quickly it'll get spent on something stupid I.E. bills or something. So i had planned on saving for new tires but my wife has made the point that my stock tires are pretty much brand new and it would be wasting them to just get rid of them. I've already got DIY fenders, wheels, 2 sets of hella lights, side armor, and some American flag hood decals for some flare. My thought was a new front bumper. I'm lookin at the Poison Spyder stinger bumper A. because it looks sweet and B. because i've heard nothin but good about it. Also i've looked at the smittybilts and others but it's hard to find a front bumper in my price range. I also thought about a budget boost of some sort or minor lift from like Rusty's, but I don't know how it would look with the stock 31 inch tires. If anyone has something that i'm missin that fits in my price range or another mod that i'm missing please post up before my Jeep funds go to my family vacation. Any input would be appreciated.

Do what i did and buy a set of rubi take off for $500 and sell your current tires for $300. Now with new tires, spend the remaining 300 on other mods (that is if you dont want 35s)

Otherwise id look into some rock rails, or a front bumper/winch combo

Default Parts to consider...

If you are into mud and trails, I think the Rubi tires ALONE will give you alot of boost in ability. Pluss, they are cheap to replace if you munch one. Thats why I run them instead of stuffing 35's.
I can puncture a sidewall and just replace it. Pluss I am faster since I have less rotating mass to spin.

Sell the ROCKSTAR rims and tires or trade outright for RUBI take offs, then buy a WINCH and stubby end caps for your OEM bumper... THEN GO GET STUCK.
