I think Jeep Green is the best color for a jeep( notice sig below)

If you are just wanting to "Jeep" it up with out going overboard, good luck I dont think it is possible

But you can start small and work your way up from there. There are tons of things you can do from grap handles to Hemi conversions. Go to the sponsor websites to see what is available for the JK and look at some of the rigs here http://my.project-jk.com/.

And there are a lot of write-ups here that have been done. Many are very clever https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-write-ups-39/

Good luck and welcome to the Forum.

After your first mod regardless how cheap it is you'll be hooked. I've owned my JK since Nov. 07 and I honestly think I've spent more money on mods than I've paid in payments & insurance

Maybe I should get a second job to support my JK mod habit

Welcome to the forums!!

Congrats on the new Jeep. Try going off-road, you might find you really enjoy it and get hooked on it.

Anyways, seriously though, go offroad and I'm sure you will start to think of things that would make your trip more enjoyable and/or things that will make your vehicle more capable.
