Since it is tax season, many of us are going to be getting money back this year. If you had $1000 to spend on your XJ for addons, not repairs, what would you buy? I'm talking winches, lockers, long arm upgrades, armor, lighting etc.

 

Recovery first!- Winch and recovery points

Then IMO
Lockers Second-If you put a locker your still gonna get stuck. Proly further and deeper than open diffs

Long arm kit third- Nice and would be great. However without recovery you will be hooking to your axle with all ur new components hooked to it.

Armor and lighting- That's a personal preference and also depends on ur needs

 

Recovery, as in good bumpers. I would rip a stock recovery hook thing off in a second.

Armor, weld in 2x6 sliders and a t case skid.

Depending on off you have a DD or a trail rig, I would go long arms or lockers next.

Long arms and good shocks made my Jeep ride awesome on the road, for the front anyway.

Lockers are awesome offroad... and so are gears and 35's. It's a never ending cycle.

 

Lockers (front and rear), nerf bars, rear bumper, roof rack, more lights.

 

lockers all day man

 

I would go buy another xj since I'm currently xj less

 

Nates bumpers.

 

Im looking at Front Bumper then Control arm drop brackets, and then a lunchbox locker for the Front end. Just have to decide which ones to buy..............

 

I'm in the same boat. I'm gonna have close to $1500 hopefully more.

Bumpers front and rear, and a winch.

If I get extra money new shocks.

 

Gotta love having a kid and getting about 5k back every year.

 

Gotta love not having kids that cost way more than that in a year.

 

Frame stiffeners rocksliders and off road bumpers would be top of my to do list.

 

I have a 3yr old but this isn't the year I get to claim him. Next year I get to. We switch every other year. Next year will be better lol

 

Try 3 kids and $7500 back
Im prolly going to buy shocks and steering upgrades, a lunchbox and a winch.

 

Someday I will have that many lol. That's a nice tax break.
