Default Tax Return Purchases

Hey looking for some advice on mods for my 2007 2 dr JK it's an X with the 3.21 rear gears so I'm not planning on going with lift/tires/regear... Just looking for some mods that can make my jeep different from the rest. I have about $400 from my tax return and I've already figured about $150/$175 to monstaline the tub. Here's the Jeep as it sits

Already bought some Plastidip and the rims are the next project. Not looking to do any real offroading/rock climbing. Just for the beach and some mild trails.

Some suggestions on a cargo net would be great too! I've looked at the aspen nets and they seem fairly durable for their price. They would also work good with my Bestop Safari Top.

I have also looked into wheel spacers to enhance the stance. Any thoughts on that route?

Thanks!

Forgot to add.. Any front bumper suggestions to make it look a little different? Think the VDP stock stubby kit would be good?

Since you mentioned the beach, first thing that popped into my head were the Hawaiian pattern Wet Okole seat covers!

I did the vdp stubby had it for awhile & liked it but I traded up for a full steel bumper. So if you've ever considered a steel bumper then skip the vdp you'll just waste money that can go towards something else. You could get spider Arb shades they have the side covers

GreenGiant,

Great looking Jeep! If you're looking for a cargo net, check out Dirty Dog 4x4. They make cargo nets and sun screens in a variety of colors. They look great and will fit your Jeep great.

The sun screen will give you protection form the sun and some shelter of you were to get caught in a rain storm. All the different colors they have available will give your Jeep a more personal feel and definitely set it off from other out there.

Hope this give you some ideas! If you have any questions, please let me know.

-Zach
