I just bought a 2012 jeep unlimited sport black and love it and I jus added a 2.5" lift with 18's on 35 nitto grapplers. I was wondering what I should do next?? Open to new ideas

Depends on how you use your Jeep. Can't go wrong with bumpers, rock rails or a winch. I'd say get a tire carrier for that 35 though.

Tire carrier, winch, bumpers. Just to start off.

Do u think the stock tire carrier won't hold it or something?

echoshotz

It will, until it starts to break your tailgate.

Alright thanks what would u say would be a decent carrier?

You need a rear tire carrier if you do some hard core wheelin. I've had my 35 on my stock mount for a few months and have not seen any weakness. There are a couple of YouTube videos to watch. Just search Terra Flex. Good looking JK by the way!!!

I got the Orfab (independent from rear bumper) and it's really nice. Another one that's independent of the rear bumper is the Genright (steel or aluminum) carrier. I'm wishing I would've gone with an bumper/carrier combo like LOD though. They seem to be the nicest ones out considering their customization options. Other manufacturers are Expedition One, smittybilt, rock hard. If you have the funds though I'd say take a look at LOD. There's many options out there

Go wheeling and see what you'll need next

I know that sounds stupid but honestly your next step depends on how you use it, what issues you run into on the trail, etc..

I'm taking a guy out this weekend who just bought a new Tacoma. He was ready to drop 4-5g into the machine but I told him to wait.. Lets take it out.. find out what the limits of the truck are and what you think you need.

What is needed in the desert, east, west, north, south, etc all differs..
