Any suggestions on where to start?
I won't be doing any specific off-roading and I live in Virginia so we get all seasons here.
2016 4-door hard top Sport

I already ordered a soft top, spare tire cover, seat covers.

I know I want to get it lifted for the larger tires I'm getting.

Eventually I want like a windshield light bar, spot lights, snorkel, front bumper with winch, bar doors, other minor mods like tailgate accessories.

I have about a 15,000$ budget over next 2 years I'm putting aside for this.

I probably should've just got the rubicon but too late xD. I didn't know I'd fall in love with it this much.


***please excuse me if I sound like an idiot. It's my first jeep!**

Rood.

Because I plan on going off-roading when it's summer again. Rode without the doors and I loved it.

I know I need to lift the jeep 2-3 inches atleast to accommodate the tires but not gonna go crazy. I hear suspension will be the most expensive.

Not yet. Please. Let this play on for a bit. :D



To OP-
First off, I hope you enjoy your Jeep! Take the time to look around one of the many JoKe forums.


If you're willing to spend another $15k on upgrades, I'd start with hubs, some sort of auto-lockers. Maybe even consider just getting some used Rubicon axles and upgrading from there.

All the mods you mentioned are aesthetics nothing that will help you off the road.

By the sounds of it you won't be able to do any of the mods yourself so your going to end up paying a lot for installs.

So my recommendation. Take that 15000 and buy something already built and ready to hit the trails. You will save a shit ton and have a better rig. Check pirate4x4 classifieds and jeepforum. Lots of jeeps for sale.
