Haha yeah they are nice! My brother actually has one and loves it. I just wouldn't get much use but they are a conversation starter.

Amazon has a surprisingly large supply of jk stuff. If you plan on going with bigger tires, grab a superchips. Amazon usually sells it for under $300. Maybe pick up a portable air pump like the q industries mv50 which is around $55.
Amazon also carries all the hi lift stuff. Lots of rugged ridge stuff like their newer style quick release mirrors. Or maybe some off road lighting. I got my hella black magic lights from amazon.
Maybe grab a winch. I've seen smittybilt xrc in there for cheap. And every once in a while I've seen great deals on superwinch.
As others have stated, you can get too far on $700 for serious mods like lift and tires. Stick to a vendor here for that when you have the money

Your rear bumper is far cheaper then $700.

I have mine plugged in the garage at all times, keeping my adult based beverages and Cadbury Cream Eggs very cold (talk about iron will, one every 6 or so weeks).

Get a Recon winch, a nice tire deflation too, and some cans of Bedliner. Bob your front bumper and mount the winch there, then remove the rear bumper and bedline the lower lip of the metal, the exposed frame and your wheels. Add shackles from Evo later for $150 or do a redneck version.
You wont look as BOUGHT as some rigs, but on aired down and locked up Rubi 32"s on bobbed and bedlined bumpers you sure will look TOUGHER!

You can do quite a bit with $700
I would do
2" Budget Boost $119
2x pair spidertrax spacers $200
KC Light brackets $35
KC Slimlite long range $156
Rugged Ridge grab handles $15
Tow strap $30
4 shackles $40
Staun tire deflators $73
That will leave you about $32 to buy something nice for SWMBO.
