If you go lights KC SlimLites are very good and can be had for 170 on Amazon per pair. I love mine.

the next step for your jeep would be regear and lockers
but youre gonna need a lot more than $500...
front and rear 'value' ring and pinion $400
decent front locker $500
installation $800 minimum
master installation kits $200
upgraded u-joints $60
diff covers $175

thats the bare minimum. and that is what I would save up for

Obx racing header $220, BBk performance throttle body $250, Flowmaster 40 series $70. Haha, these pay for themselves over time... My mpg jumped from 14.2 around town to 16.7. Which is 50 miles per tank($10-15 a tank).... Then again I have a 2wd so I don't have to worry about being tempted in buying any expensive off road stuff. All terrains and recovery point is all I need haha
