Looks good. Ive been thinking about picking up a hardtop and getting the paint matched for mine. Found one for $1k on craigslist, not sure if I want to spend that kind of money on a new top at the moment though.[/QUOTE]

Do you like the fastback ones? I would want that one tbh

What craigslist did you find it on, mine only came with a soft, and Im looking at picking up a hard top for 1kish, because I know new ones aftermarket are 2k+


and the fast back are like 3k

even though I think they look nice, thats a solid chunk of change for an aethetic

Not sure what you like as far as bumpers go, but the one I have is currently on sale for a pretty good price.

As far as the top, it was on Atlanta craigslist but the asking price was probably 1200-1300 originally.
I dont like the fastback version for the most part but I have seen a few that looked great.

ah thats too far away I love my soft top anyway have had it down every chance I get, and I like that front bumper, did you get yours from that site? Thinking about the spyder hood louver as well

Sooooo many things to do, only so much change in my pocket

If I showed you my list of to do's even though its only been a few weeks you would probably have a good laugh

I think that is the same place I got mine, but the price was higher (even then it was one of the best prices I found).

ah just looked at it closer, when you add black powder coat its 150 bucks more, do you think I should get it and bedline it instead?

Oh ya, I forgot that part... I got mine powder coated at work for free. Bedlining it would probably be fine though. Several other people went that route. I wasn't far from spraying mine myself but I figured I would wait for a chance to get it done at work.

Might go with a smitty, ran a sheet on everything I want so far
Are these a solid wheel/ tire combo?
Forgot to add budget boost as well

LOL 4 wheel parts catalog jeep, how original

If your not going to use it off road don't bother, and if you are going to use it off road, half that shot is a joke

IMO I would cut some cost from the wheels and tires and put into an actual suspension lift and not the budget kit.
I like the Pro Comp 7069s and if you go with a 16" rim you can get them for just over $100 each. Then if you go with a 16" rim you can get some Kuhmo KL71s for $250 each
Thats the setup I run currently and they have been great tires on and off road. Very quiet for a MT too.

Smittybuilt has a bad reputation for producing low quality stuff with lots of fitment issues. Poison Spyder on the other hand has awesome quality, but you pay for it.

I think the biggest thing to decide is what you plan on doing with your Jeep. If its 99% daily driver and will almost always be on road than a budget boost isnt a problem. If you plan on rock crawling than it will be a problem.
I also wouldnt bother with the intake.

Lastly, if you upgrade wheels you will likely need a new carrier to support the additional size and weight. That can range a LOT in price depending on how you do it. Ive just got mine behind my rear seats. Fits absolutely perfectly with no room to move (although I do need to strap it down still...)




I will agree that a LOT of that list is not going to be useful off road, but not everyone needs beadlocks, built axles and long arm suspensions.
