Mods in order of importance

[guitarzan]

Been kicking around all sorts of mods to do to my '07 KJ Sport, and I'm just kind of wondering what is really important to you. Here's a list of a few things. If you can think of something to add to the list by all mean, do. How would you put these in order?

Lift
Tires
Custom wheels
Skid plates
Recovery Points
TT front or rear
ARB diff front or rear
Custom from bumper
Interior upgrades
Radio and components
Winch
Lightbar
Lower mounted fog lamps
Spare tire relocation
Bling

Here's my list and in this order:

1) Tires
2) Recovery Points
3) Fog lamps on the top of the bumper
4) Skid plates
5) TT front diff
6) ARB Rear diff
maybe an OME lift at some point before or after #6.
7 or so) A custom bumper with a winch

Tires first because these GY ST's suck! That's really what I see in the near future for my KJ. (I know, famous last words) I just don't see a lift being all that much of an improvement for the places I would go. It doesn't seem like a lift really adds that much. (dunno)

Thoughts?

Here's my opinion...unless your tires are Maypop AT's (May pop any time soon)
1. Hooks
2. Skids
3. Tires
4. ARB rear
5. DTT
6. Fog lights

At least 1 type of recovery point,and no putting a chain around the axle is not going to get it,think mud,water,cow manure up to the doors.

 

[HoosierJeeper]

If I were in that last option....I might not recover it... (lol)

1: Skids
1: recovery points
1: tires

There is a place about a mile from the apartment that has great stromboli. Think similar to pizza but rolled up.

I think the list of what is most important depends on what you do and where you go. Recovery points are important for a lot of places so they usually top most lists. Beyond that, I would say it is whatever mods will be most useful for your specific situation. For instance, my mall has a lot of shrubbery in the little islands in the parking lot so a brush guard would be a wise choice to protect the pretty plastic in front of the Jeep

Is stromboni like calzone?

You poor,deprived fellow,even barefoot hillbillys know about stromboli.

 

[eyehatetofu]

Stromboli is delicious!

1. Crossbars
2. Better Tires
3. Lift

3. Lift

You forgot the important ones.

1-recovery points are always 1st
2-skids and armor,more the merrier since it all is equally important.

Then it get's fun from here.....

3-tires
4-lift
5-then new bigger tires for the lift and lower gears(very important)
6-self recovery(winch)
7-lockers F/R(see my sig)


Why a winch before lockers? Lockers will get you really stuck,if you happen to be alone(shouldn't but happens and not always wheeling) you at least can self recover.

I had oem skids and hooks on mine when I bought it. I went with lift first so fitting tires won't be a problem and to get more ground clearance. Winch only because I have a great father in law. I was going to put tires next.

Here's your list. Depending on where you are wheeling, make 1 to 4 your priority.

I concur.
Numbers 1 through 4.
