Default Youve got $6000 and a 2015 4dr WILLYS and go.............

New to the jeep world and been researching on the forum for about a month and have come up with my plan. My jeep is 2015 4dr Willys, Anvil Color and Black Hard top.

Im going for a low and wide stance and I think ive got the wife convenced to let me use $6000 to get the jeep started. Wanted to give you a run down of the plan, prices, and where im buying from. Id like you inputs on the equipment and where im buying from hell any advice as there is tons on this forum but you can get lost a confused just as fast as you figure something out.

Tires=Not decided but think im going with 15s x 35s. That way I can keep my stock set together to keep or sell and its the same price as buying 17 x 35s-estimating $1600
Lift = MetalCloak true dual-rate lift 2.5- $1200 Northridge 4x4 + Free Shipping
Front Bumper = OR-Fab Mid-Width center mount 83230 - $640 EBAY + Free Shipping
Rear Bumper = OR-Fab Rock Slider 82205 - $403 Amazon + Free Shipping
Tire Carrier = OR-Fab 85207 Swing Away Gerry can carrier - $505 Amazon + Free Shipping
Winch = Super Winch 11.5 - $500 + Free Shipping
Fenders = Trimming Stock/save money for something better down the road.
Total guessing 8% sales tax = $5240.

Here is where I need help. with the remaining $750 I want to upgrade my sound system I have just the basic and want to keep the stock head unit upgrade all the speakers add subs, but don't know if I need to add an amp. I will do it myself but I know nothing about sound systems.

If I sell my stock wheels and tires lets say for $800 - $1000 here is the list of next things id like to do and ill take any advice or any other ideas.
Seat Covers
Light Bars - Spotter and 50 Inch, but really considering old school KC Style lights
Maybe I DIY Secure Carge cover
Recovery Kit
Clam Shell Soft top
4.56 gears

Seems like a lot but id preciate any input.

Heads up on the 15" wheels. I have them and love them off road but it limits your steering upgrades because of lack of clearance. Worth a consideration

If you're buying online out of state there shouldn't be sales tax. Unless you plan on keeping this jeep I would recommend you stay away from the orfab carrier and anything else that requires drilling into the sheet metal.

The Drilling has me nervous, any carrier bumper combos in the same price range you recommend looking at.

If I don't go 15s ill be staying with stock rims and spacers. unless I find someone selling rims and tires for the same price range.

I think flat flares would complete the look. It is very hard to make trimmed flares look perfect.

I just ordered my ACE rear bumper and tire carrier combo, you should check that out only about $1000 and looks awesome in my option. Also for the sound system, I have the stock alpine system with the amp and I upgraded to the Kenwood DDX5901 Touch screen with the Mistro controller that lets you keep all factory connect and steering wheel functions and like it pretty well got it all for around $800 I think.
