Default Upgrades coming soon

Hey guys about to start doing the upgrades on the Unlimited Sahara. Here are the plans;

Rugged Ridge Front Bumper

TeraFlex 2.5" BB with Shocks

Keeping the stock 18" wheels but putting on the 34" Wrangler Duratrac tires

Hella 500 Windshield mounting Off-road lights

(possiblity is the Gobi Roof Rack)<< Any Opinions? >>

Basically just wanna see what people think and if anyone has any other suggestions. My Sahara is Black just to give people the image. You can see a stock picture of it in my public profile.

What is your plan for it? Do you want it go on the trail a lot or just city driving?

Bro, search through the show & tell threads and you'll find a situation where just about all of your plans have already been executed by someone else. Then learn from their failure or success. The results below have to be filtered by you but hey are a start....

Rugged Ridge Front Bumper - https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/sear...archid=3182020

TeraFlex 2.5" BB with Shocks - https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/sear...archid=3182028

Keeping the stock 18" wheels but putting on the 34" Wrangler Duratrac tires - https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/sear...archid=3182036

Hella 500 Windshield mounting Off-road lights - save your cash and buy some HIDx HID off-road lights instead (i'm running a pair of their 4" HID lights). You can get them through SCreaming Lizard Customs (a vendor on this forum).

I would say that it will be 80% driving on roads and 20% offroad. It is my daily driver which is why I wasn't going the Mud Terrain route.

I've got the RR XHD bumper front and rear and a Gobi rack. I'm happy as can be with all of it. I'm especially happy with the rack. The rack is a it heavy so you may see some sag when combined with the bumper.

FYI your front coils might not be happy with that bumper after some time.

Would you recommend spacers ontop of the Lift or do you not have a lift?
