Default First Jeep. 2014 Willys Unlimited Need Advice

New to jeeps in general, bought a new Willys edition while I was in Afghanistan. Always wanted a Jeep and bit the bullet and bought one. Just got home and it was delivered the other day. Won't be able to pick it up for a few dats. I'm not going to go crazy 4 wheeling or anything but I was to ruggedize it a little, I'm an outdoorsman and it will see trails but it is my daily driver. Started a small list of easy alterations. Clear side markers, grill insert, nub antenna. I want a lift and am looking at the 3" BDS suspension lift. I'm a LEO so my alterations will come as I can afford them. Any suggestions? Brands? Information overload is fine.

Welcome and congrats on the jeep. I am an OME fan. I have installed around 20+ and always like the results. You will get at least 50 brand recommendations though. Lol. I would lift, tires and go from there. I have a 2008 that I am always tinkering with and my wife has a 2014 that I am in the process of lifting right now. Having an issue with a new/newer bracket I have never dealt with before. Lol.

Stupid brake clip!!!!!

Just pry the brake clip off with a pry bar and vice grips and tie off the brake line to the shock body. Redneck approved.
