Bedline your grill and hinges, trim down your flares, remove the stupid ugly ass plastic skid under your front bumper. Not only is it pointless, its ugly. Cosmetic stuff is endless, you can go on and on. There is stuff I did way back to my jeep that I can't even remember. Kinda past that stage now as I have bigger fish to fry, haha

Dont powder coat the rims , waste of money, just plasti dip it and you can always take it off plus it costs about $20 for 4 cans and you're good to go.
Also platic dip the grill.
Get wheels spacers ,
Chop the fenders.
For about $20 and some work at home your jeep will be a copmletely different beast.

Is it paint? What if I mess up, can it be taken off? Also did you cut your fenders or are those aftermarket? Looks good man! Yeah I want to take the plastic skid off, and what's the best way to remove the sticker without damaging the paint? I flipped the rear view mirror upside down.. so far that's my first mod haha

First mod IMHO should always be either relocate or skid the evap canister. Whether you plan on wheeling or just driving, this should be done first....should have come from the factory with this done. After that, do whatever YOU want to do with it. You are the one that has to drive it and like it.

that is not too time consuming or difficult..?
Relocate or just install a skid for the evap canister?

The other good thing is that you just need to wash your grill or wheels before applying.
