Throw Some Ideas Out
Alright, just bought my new Jeep a couple months ago. I'll be deploying soon and I am planning on coming back with at least 10K to put mostly towards good upgrades for my Jeep. I'm pretty young and have little experience with off roading. I know that i love mudding the most but am open to anything adventurous. I know that some people out there have had some problems with the big wheels that come with the '08 Sahara.
I'm mainly just looking for some good suggestions as to how i should go about spending my money wisely without messing up my jeep too much. Glad I found this Forum and am happy to be a part of the Jeep Family.

So far so good, I know i have a big wish list, and for the 9 months I'll be gone, I'm sure I'll be doing as much research as I can when I have free time. I appreciate any ideas and tips ya'll have.

Start with the FAQ's stickied at the top of this section.
The 'Wheels & Tires', 'Suspension' and 'Axles, Gears & Drivetrain' areas will give you a good foundation to plan your upgrades.
Then move on to the Write-ups area. Lots of great mods and how-to's in there.
