New to jeep lifestyle
I'm fairly new to the jeep world with my 2011 black wrangler sport. All stock. I have been wondering what my first mods should be. I am a senior in highschool and I'm paying for all of this on my own. I would like opinions on what I should start my project with as seeing I'm planning to mod it.
Thanks a ton for the comments

Welcome to the Jeep world/friends/family/lifestyle etc! As far as mods go its all about what you want to use your rig for. But you're in the right place for opinions and help. Welcome!

Many variables...start with what do you want to use your Jeep for and what's your budget? Spend some time looking through the show and tell threads for different tire and lift sizes to get ideas. Also check out the cheap and easy mod thread in the modified section.
There are a lot of little things you can do to start making it your own.

Always check the forums for good deals on mods you want. Craigslist I decent too. All my aftermarket stuff was preowned and considerably cheaper. Except the tires an rims... Went through the vendors on this forum

Enjoy it stock. Take it wheeling and see what you want it to do. A stock Jeep will go more places then you can imagine. Do NOT try to keep up with people on this forum. Even if I won the lottery I could not keep up with half the people on here. Remember Jeep= Just Empty Every Pocket

Before you do any mods you should get some basic safety and recovery equipment eg, Fire Extinguisher, Shovel, Axe/Hatchet, snatch strap. Then find some one to go four wheeling with.

Thanks, my budget is really about 200 a week. So I'm just saving up. I have decided to go with tires an a lift. I was thinking about the km2's because ive heard good things about them. Also the 3.5" series 2 susp. Lift by rough country. Any complaints with those? I would like to get into some moderate off roading and climbing, but nothing big yet
