Default If you had $6,000.00....

What upgrades would you do to your Jeep? Be specific, if you are going to lift it, which lift would you use. If you are going to get bigger tires, what tires. If you are going to get a new bumper, what bumper, etc. The reason for this thread is to see exactly how you would build your Jeep on a $6,000.00 budget, not just to hear everyone say "lift it". Now if I only had $6,000.00.

Heck, I don't have a JK yet, but if I had $6k the minute I get my new Rubi, I'd get...

TeraFlex 3", BullDog Fab front/rear bumpers (if he's still making them, I haven't seen him around for a while), gears, BFG KM2 35's, AEV ProCal, ProComp wheels of some sort, and probably some windsheild lights.

Ooops, I might've gone over a bit. Maybe I'd just have to scrap the labor part and have a friend help me install the lift/gears.

For mine were it is at now I would get.

Full Traction 4" long arm w/gas shocks.
4.88 gears and installed.
LoD Signature Series Shorty Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier.
Custom Wet Okole seat covers front and back.

That will use all the $6000.00 or real close.

My wife would make me pay the property taxes and some home improvements. She might give me enough for a new bumper?

I'd give it to Nadya Suleman (the lady who just had 8 more kids) so she could move to another country and spare all of us our tax money.
