Default What would you do next?

My '07 Unlimited has a 4 in lift, 35" tires and new wheels. What would do you think that I should do next? (sliders, exhaust, etc). I appreciate any advice!

Protection is always high on my list, so I say sliders or bumpers

1st I would get the EVO gussets and LCA skids - well worth the money for piece of mind

Sliders, rear bumper/tire carrier, gears...

I did everything first before i regear and it's worked well for me off road and on road. It's not ideal, but it works. I am currently in the process of saving up for my regear/lockers/driveshafts upgrade.

Guess it depends on how & where you're going to wheel it.

in general I'd x2 on what joneszj said. -->Start with Gussets & Sliders

For now the best place for me to truly off-road is several hours away in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Other than that it's mainly moderate trails and some places in the Badlands of North Dakota (but a lot of these are off limits to the public). I'm meeting with a guy tonight that it going to do some welding for me. I wanted to discuss some other options too. It's much too cold here now (-15 degrees without wind chill) for me to do much in my unheated garage now. I appreciate your suggestions. Keep them coming!
