I just bought my JK and want to start making it original. In order what would be the best mods for it? ie..lift, tires, lights, bumpers and etc.

What did you find that you needed first and what you could have waited for?

 

Same situation here... I think I'm going to start with bumpers (aside from stupid shit like mud mats and quad bar lamps) because I didn't get the tow group and I need a hitch. I would love to jump right into a 4" standard Skyjacker lift but then I'd need new tires and I don't have the money to spend on all that. Not yet....
I need a bikini/duster/windjammer pretty quickly too, but I guess that's more accessories than mods.

 

Need is questionable. I started right off with rims/tires and a lift. Pretty happy for now. More mods to come soon though, feel bored with it already.

 

I like the feedback. I need tires bad. They definetly won't do well in the snow. But I don't want to put any on yet untill I get a lift so that it won't look awkward.

 

Guess it depends on how high you want your lift. I just went with a TF leveling kit and threw on some 33" (there are numerous threads about 33" and no lift). The leveling kit was $127, granted I installed it myself.

 

You forgot more lights...lol

 

Fyi the stock springs will sag pretty bad with the weight of aftermarket bumpers so you will want to lift soon after or be driving a lowrider lol

 

Here is mine with Wheels, Tires, RR Lightbar and Lights, Euro Grills... No Lift Yet!!





Hope this helps!!

 

Nice looking rig!!


Myself I went with what deal I could find. I added windshield lights first than reverse lights, grill's, front bumper w/stinger and winch, 1.5inch wheels spacers.
