investment? best investment I ever made was frame stiffeners. I believe they belong on any jeep that's going offroad. wish I had done them sooner. they even tightened up my steering a bit because I have less frame twist now

After seeing the differences between an XJ with stiffeners and mine which doesn't have them, I'm with Atmos on stiffeners. They're my next purchase.
If you want a free mod, go doorless.

if its a daily driver, then think maintenance.... steering, suspension, tires, brakes, engine, trans, etc etc. If you want a mod but cant decide, you could get bumpers, lights, a CB maybe? Kinda endless on what you can do.

Doorless is really cool. If it was me I'd go with a decent lift and some good tires and probably some lighting.

4.5 is more expensive than 3". Zone is a good brand though.

Tires should depend on your terrain and offroad %
