Default Newbie Here.... Just got one

Hey everybody, I literally just bought my 2007 Jk sahara 4 door with 20k miles... I drove it and completely fell in love with it... Just wanted to see what is a good, first accessory for my new vehicle?

Welcome to the club!
My advise would be a locking hood latch, if it doesn't have one allready. It prevents hood lift and keeps people from running off with your battery or tampering with under hood things.

Happy Jeep'in!!

LOL. What locking hood latch are you referring to? It would seem that most everyone has not been impressed by either the $20 piece of crap that is available and the $100+ one made by Mopar.

I good first mod in my opinion would be to drill the mirrors. There is a really long post on it, all you need to do is type in "drilling mirrors" in the search.

The benefits of this are two-fold. Helps rid you jeep of unwanted wanted and it is FREE!

35" tires and 2 to 3" lift... You can do a BB teraflex lift and get 35's under there... Jusy my 2 cents but once your jeep is up with big tires you'll fall in love more

Dirt, LOTS of Dirt.... Isn't it crazy how if you are a Jeep person there is an INSTANT love affair? Congrats. I would say if you plan on wheeling a real set of MT tires is a great place to start, which might lead to a lift, which leads to, well you get the idea. Start saving your pennies.
