New to the forum... poppin my cherry!!! (first post)

anyway... fun question... if you had $2,000 to spend on your new jk what would be the first and most important things you would buy. Personally, I have purchased some used tires/wheels, rock rails, fender flares, and speakers... interested to hear your input.

That's a good start. Unfortunately, modding your Jeep is addictive. The more you do, the more you realized "needs" to be done. If you are mechanically inclined, you can do most of the labor yourself which will save you some money. Then again, that is just more available money to spend on other mods. Welcome to the forum and good luck with your projects. Definitely post up pics when you finish them.

Welcome to the forum. I'm sure if you look around some it will be way easy to spend $2000.

I'd probably get a 2.5" BB to start. Then you'll have plenty left for bumpers. Think about lights too!

It's looking good so far. My wife is starting to eye a new Jeep in that color and I'm trying to help her in that direction!

In your opinion would a 2.5" BB lift look weird with the stock rubi wheels and bushwacker flares?
