I dunno

I've put a lot of $$$$ into my JK and I made a point of 99% of it being strictly performance! not counting the stereo! but I stayed with the factory h/u and just reused amp from my TJ and bought all new speakers.

X2. Looks better too. I would also do a leveling kit.

2" lift, slightly bigger tires, rims and enjoy the subtle difference. I think bigger rubber and wider rims or spacers make the biggest visual improvement and functional improvement as well.
On another note a controlling girlfriend/boyfriend is going to make a terrible spouse lol. I found the purse strings only get tighter after the I do's lol.

First free mod you should do that will make a huge difference is get a new girlfriend.
