Default Stock 07 JKX $1000 to spend...?

Just got my Jeep a month ago, already got the itch to start mods. my first thought is bigger tires n a small lift... i want to be able to take it on some tough trails, but nothing too extreme... its my DD so it needs to comfortable on the road. my question is, if you had it do all over again, what would your first $1000 go towards?

You could swap your coils and shocks out for some Rubi take-offs. Hell, even pick up a set of Rubi tires and wheels, there are plenty out there with very low miles.

Year doesn't matter, go with a 4dr if you decide to go that route.

Let it ride on black and double your money....

But seriously, save it!!! Save up and do everything once. Do your research dont just spend it, to spend it.
