I agree just about everyone here, you've got a good setup to start with now. And the aev procal module at 150, is worth it to correct the speedo and odometer. It should also correct the avg mileage. It's also important to just take it out and get to know your rig wheeling as is. Have fun, good luck.

Sweet jeep! Your ahead of me so far. I'm saving for a lift kit at the moment. After that I want a bumper that offers good protection from the deer around here. Like the other guy said you might want to invest in rock rails or steps to keep the rocks from dinging up the sides of your jeep from those tires. Goodluck and welcome to the forum!

I just reread my posting and you guys are right , besides the fact that I'm an old fart(ha ha) I was off base , and I am sorry for some of the comments I made ! However I do standby , and I think all of you will agree , to stay on designated trails , don't trash the outdoors , and really learn how to wheel to learn what you need in the future . alot of stuff will make your rig look cool , but I guess I am more into what works for me on the trail. I still say underbody protection , bumpers , a tire carrier for that 35" , before the tailgate bends , like mine did. Then wheel the crap out of it!He already has a lift and 35s , don't need a snorkel , and with that , you can navigate your way thru , say , the Rubicon , Moab and whatever .

From one old fart to the other. Thanks for setting a good example on stepping up and doing the right thing. I too over speak sometimes. I guess to many years of parenting has numbed to certain things Way to go man. Awesome.

X2 on the bumpers/ winch. Your jk already looks sweet...add some mean metal to it to help protect it. I personally run the smittybilt xrc front with an xrc8 winch, the smittybilt src rear and an orfab 85207 tire carrier.

I would have gone with the evo or posion spyder bumpers but it wasnt in my budget at the time.

Good luck!

OK , i'll offer a helpful hint . If you look at my jeep , the black one , you will see that my front bumper has a lowered winch mount , and that is a 9000ti Warn winch in there . It not only lowers the center of gravity , but doesn't impede flow to the radiator . also you need to know how wide you want your bumper , I like a shorty because I like to climb rocks and need access to my tires , without a bumper in the way. Good luck
