Haha, thanks man, yeh, most of my upgrades have been for offroading and looks, but I'm looking for some things that will help out for daily driving now, since I have to drive about 30mi just to get to work during the week. First thing is a Ripp Supercharger...

Call me a hater...
... but I love to ask how often they actually wheel. I only have a few grand in my paid for Jeep, the rest of the money gets spent to wheel and take trips in it every weekend.

I agree with scouting the used for sale stuff on this board and looking for opportune deals.
jks discos : 100
5 cans of plasti dip and othe material needed: 50
used rubi tires: 375
5 new soft 8 17x8 : 500
kc slimlites: 175
all my various recovery gear, straps, etc: 100
soon to come riddler diff covers and oil pan skid plate 350
teraflex leveling kit 130
rubi springs: 50
rubi shocks 50
1800 when i get to my stopping point of this stage.
i will be completely done (barring parts that break ) once i do f/r bumpers and a winch, which i recon will be the most expensive part of all of this, saying 1750....
1750+1850+1200 for new 33"s in a yea of two....
4800 plus say 200 for misc -- like used rock rails
to me spending 5000 for a good budget build over a few years is great. I can't see spending a penny more, the jeep was extremely capable stock, more so now, and it rides great on the road, and with all these mods it will look good, but i don't feel like i will have to replace, control arms, track bars, risk burning the diffs to soon... etc

not too far in yet
I'm only about $3k in so far. This includes 5 sahara wheels powder coated black, 5 new 33" duratrac's, a top (my JK was completely topless when I got it), rubi suspension, WP LED tail lights, bestop rear bumper with tire carrier, warn elite front bumper (neither pictured as they're being installed as I type), 1.5" wheel spaces, replaced all speakers, hidden amp, and upgraded double DIN HU.
