Got my wheels and tires put on a month or so ago.....absolutely love them.
Not on the list, but I put on Long Range KC Slimlites mounted to my windshield brackets. Wired them myself, which I am very proud of as I've never really worked on a vehicle before.....definitely getting more confident.
Other note worthy mods not on my list that are now on my JK
-stubby black antenna
-tinted license plate covers
-Rugged Ridge Grab handles front and back
-Rugged Ridge Front Floor Liners
-removed the "sport" stickers
-silver Jk sticker on the rear quarter panel
-Tinted my turn signals with VHT nightshade spray paint
-mirror relocation brackets, so I can have my mirrors when my doors are off....which seemed to be all the time this summer
Excited to cross more off my starter list, might take a while! Here's to hoping I win the lottery!!

Started trimming my fenders. Got Passenger front done, going to tackle my Driver front on Friday. I'm waiting until the spring to do my rears.....maybe.
EDIT- decided to do the Driver today too. Just have to pop on some door trim, and we're finito!

great start, cutting my fenders was my first mod, you might want to go 33" tires idk what size you have now, or even 35s, with the 2" lift you could easily unless you want to watch your gas mileage
