Even with stock tires and no lift....

Mopar slush mats and Mopar door sill guards for the Unlimited run about 100 bucks total.

Wow thats a good deal on windshield lights and brackets. Where did you get them and did they come with all the proper wiring for installation? Also do you have to get shock extention brackets or longer shocks with the 1 3/4" lift? thanks

My wife bought the Hellas for me last Father's Day at Pep Boys for around 70 bucks. I bought the brackets from www.quadratec.com. The Hellas come as a complete kit. I replaced the light covers with the grille type guards from rallylights.com.

I only bought the RC spacers. I'll replace the stock shocks when needed.

With the RC 1 3/4 inch lift, the instructions show removing the bolt that holds the brake line to the frame prior to installing the rear coil spring spacer, and then doesn't mention reinstalling it afterwards... is it OK for the brake line to float back there?

This is the first mod I'm considering doing to my 2 week old rig and I want to make sure it's worthwhile.

How about a Hi-Lift Jack, nobody has mentioned that. For someone without a winch i would think that a hi lift jack could come in handy to winch yourself out if your wheeling alone. Of course wheeling alone is the cardinal sin so i have read... And its under $100.00

Weathertec front floor liners...after 4 months in the salt, mud, and snow that is Bangor, Maine, came home to VA, washed those puppies, and they were good as new...and they are the best looking of all the offerings.
