Thumbs up Favorite Modification

Just curious. Some are just starting out working on their Jeep as I am. Others have many Jeeps and have done a lifetime of modifications.

I just want to hear about your personal favorite modification you have done to your Jeep/Jeeps.

It can be anything from a sticker to full out fabrication.

I have not done much to my Jeep yet so Ill have to say my favorite mod was taking the fender flares off. It was fun getting rid of plastic and it opend up lots of different possibilites as far as future modification.

Not that this is the most important mod, but i would say lifting mine. I want to go long arm eventually, but just having the more ground clearance helps out a lot. Depending on everyones purpose of driving there are more important mods like armor or even just a Navigation system.

Removing the Sway Bars, best thing I've done yet.

Mine came with factory skids, front skid, t-case, gas tank...

If I didn't have those, I would have gotten them first, At least three times now I know for sure I would have destroyed my transfer case (Read: NOT CHEAP) by smashing on rocks if I didn't have that skid plate there. Armor is the way to go.

gearing. Going from 3.07's to 3.73s. Brought allot of life back to it. Besides that propably the open cooling system. Then lift, rims, tires, sterio, cai, Oh yeah and breaking the damn thing.

I would have to say armor and recovery so far. At only 31s I banged my jeep pretty hard w/no worries. On 1 trail, got high centered, hooked up my buddy's winch to a shackle, and I'm free.
