Default How to spend 300 bucks

OK. My Jeep has little to no mods...Wheels and slightly larger tires, RR light guards and lights on the windsheld are the only mods...I have about 300 bucks to spend. I have been looking a lifts and bumpers but everything i look at is more than 300 bucks. What would you guys sugest to buy. I would like more than 2.5" lift but know I need driveshafts and dont have the cash for it.

Rough Country 2.5" lift.....the coils give a bit more than 2.5 and its a great way to get it up on the cheap.

Why dont you just put the $300.00 away and pretend you never had it this way when you come into a little more money you could get the lift or bumper that you want!!!
Don't let it blow a hole in your pocket on something you dont need. If you have to ask us what to spend it on because the stuff you really want is more $$$, then you really don't need to spend it.

Default I agree with Tommy

Sound financial advise...otherwise you end up with a bunch of little "astetic" things purchased on several occasions, instead of a couple or few really cool mods that are functional as well. I speak from personal experience on thumbing through catalogues every time I had 50 buck, I just had to have grab handles or something......that's just me....also, I got my 2.5" suspension used for 75 bucks when someone just had it installed, then went bigger. Ask your local off road shop about used???

Thanks 4doorsWI. If I took that advise when I was younger, I would have been able to buy my Jeep outright with cash with money left over for mods. Instead I foolishly spent money on a whole bunch of useless crap that I never needed and don't even have anymore.

Oh well you put 2.5 inches on your first post so thats what I assumed you wanted. Yeah def. gonna want driveshafts with anything above 3! How use it for a front bumper. Then when you get more money you can buy a winch. I would say that is the most important 4wheeling tool. Of course, I do not have one lol. I do always go with someone who does though.
