Default Need some opinions guys!

Alright so I've got about $750 to spend on my JK. I absolutely need a tire carrier, so I am probably going with the OR fab one.

Does anyone have any other options on what to buy with the rest of the money?

I was thinking some corner armor and new taillights to go with it. But labor fees are going to come into play.


Help me out

I'm pretty challenged when it comes to installations LOL. Especially if it requires drilling and cutting.

Seriously....save your money. A rear bumper and tire carrier are super easy to put on. All you need are basic tools. Buy it and read the directions. If it looks too tough then take it somewhere. I am no mechanic and I did it no problem. You can always refer to this forum too. There are always good people on here to help.

lol did you have trouble with installing the rugged ridge light bar too, i swear to god it got to the point where i needed to use a mallet to pound the base to the top frame, took me an hour of frustration to get it together!
