Huge help for doin cheap mods

 

I just swapped my stock XJ mirrors with TJ ones. Huge improvement with visibility, and it looks pretty sweet.

 

3 of these:

Plastered on top surface of the back bumper. Traction for the dog when he tries to jump in.

10 Dollah, smells like China.

 

1) Budget Boost $50 - $150 (check eBay) (or 2" coil spacers in front and a JY leaf bastard back in back)
2) Lokka Locker in Front $198 or Front and Back $437 (easy to install yourself)
3) Spectre Cowl intake Air Cleaner $150 or get an eBay Snorkel (don't be sucking in water and get hydro-locked)
4) Used set of 31-32" Mud Tires $200-300.... New if you can afford it. (Look at Treadwrights) $650 (Can get cheap BF Goodrich MT takeoffs that fit 17's rims for cheap, then get steel Dodge 300, Magnum, Charger Rims for free or cheap)
5) Rough Country Sway Bar Quick Disconnects $69 (Get a little more flex)
6) GET SOME TOW POINTS - Tow Hitch in Back ($75 used) and Rugged Ridge #11236.5 Tow Hooks/Frame Brackets $100 new
7) Tow Strap ($40)
8) 52" LED Lightbar $95 on Amazon (will need mounts too)
