What sould I do next?
So I want to hear from you guys. I am looking for ideas of what to do next with my jeep. Keep in mind that this will be my dd until it gets all rusty and higher miles on it. I am looking for stuff that wouldn't break the bank.

I would tint it.. this way it will be cooler in the summer and if you break your glass wheeling it will not shatter all over you or you could also get those oem clear marker lights if you like that look

I have looked at the rampage headlights and would like to upgrade. What about a new wire harness? anybody know of a plug-n-play aftermarket harness? Not really looking to make it pretty so the clear corners arn't a big thing to me. do you know what brand those lights are that are on ebay?
Skids are a great idea. I am hoping to get to the jy and grab a gas tank skid off a grand when the weather gets better. I have heard that t-case and gas skids are the most important. Where can I get skids for a good price. (I am not a welder)

Remove the air dam from under the front bumper and trim the end caps. Its a free mod and will give it a much meaner look.

I finaly got the ok from the wife to buy a set of tires and rims from a guy for $300 they are 30x10.50 bfg at on 15"x7" soft 8s with stock bs (don't know what stock bs is...4.75"?) I have stock lca and need to know if I'll have any trouble with them. Like I said off topic but smebody that reads this will know.

before you do all that I would find a picture of a jeep with it done already... see what it looks like sometimes they do not come apart and are a pain to put back together just some advice

that looks pretty sweet. do you think you could heat the end cap and roll it under a little so you don't have that chopped look?

I'm sure you could heat and roll it for a more finished look, might take some work to make it look good though. I did'nt worry about it too much because I was getting ready to build a new bumper.

I would like a new bumper but am keeping it cheep for now. I think I am going to cut it and try heating it. I'll take pics and post back. Also, anyone know about the wire harness upgrade for headlights? Any other ideas?

If you're ever thinking about going off road, recovery points are essential and relatively cheap. I intalled tow hooks in the front and a class III receiver for the rear for towing. I do admit that they're more "go" than "show" however.
Your new tires and wheels will look great. Are you sure that the tires aren't 30x9.50 or 31x10.50? I have 31x10.50 BFG AT KOs on stock wheels. I had to adjust the steering stops to keep from hitting the LCAs during sharp turns.
