Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and a new jeep owner by about a moth.mive got an '08 x 2 door. Absolutely love having a jeep. I've been offroading 2 times with the crappy stock wrangler SRA tires. Getting a set of 265 70 17 dura traks put on tomorrow.
Other than that I'm planning on a smitty winch. Something around $299
This is a semi daily driver. It's a third vehicle but I drive it all the time because it love it. So it's not meant to be an offroad beast. However I want to do some reasonable a value adding mods. Like tires winch and ????? What else?
Thinking about a steel from bumper to compliment the winch and provide a good mounting point. II, also thinking it would be a good idea to add some skid plates.
I'm not planning on ever tackling obsticals that make me ask" I wonder if I can get over that?" I just want to go where a car won't take yu and have fun with friends and family.
I'm looking for cost effective solutions for the essentials and are additonal skid plates, bumpers etc the right starting point? Or should I be investing in other safety related items? I've got to keep my costs down as much as possible though.
Also no lifting planned here. I've got an extended warranty and don't want to created any automatics arguments at the dealer should I ever try to use it.
Please pass on your advise for this new guy.
Thanks!!!
