2.5 inch coil lift, AEV Argent wheels, 305/70 R17 KM2's, and an AEV or ARB front bumper with Warn M8000. That's probably pretty close to 5K. If not, add the Rugged Ridge rear bumper and Warn 6.5 inch wireless controlled lights on the windshield channel. There, that should be 5K now.

2,500 lotto tickets and a sweet front bumper and winch! That way if you win big you can increase that budget and the first time you use your winch offroad...it pays for itself!
