If you had $1500 to spend on your Jeep today....

[Walter-new jeeper]

If you were about to spend $1500 on your jeep what would you do? Just asking for open discussion and day dreaming. As if we needed more distraction from jeep thoughts during work.

I am torn on what I want to do next to my Gladiator.
Was thinking bed rack.... Then thought of new rear bumper, again.... Then thought of gravity light bar. or lights. or new front bumper, again. Then found clearlidz again....

Pretty much sold right now on getting the clearlidz, so i'm really not asking what I should do next, just wondering what YOU would do.

Since the electrical system I want to add will be more than $1500, the next thing on my list in that price range would be 35" KO2 ATs.

I've got a few total is under $1500 but one of the most used items.
- A good air compressor
- MorrFlate tire inflator/deflator https://morrflate.com/product-category/morrflate-multi-tire-air-kits/
- SkidMark 4x4 hitch skid plate https://www.skidmark4x4.com/
- Rusty's lower control arm frame skid - https://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-rear-lower-control-arm-frame-side-skid-plates-jt-gladiator.html

The rear lower control arm frame side are super vulnerable due to the wheel base and control arm location.


Another good buy are a set of wrenches. If you don't have a battery operated impact wrench, and impact bits, that would be another good buy.

My favorite mods $1500 or less has to be Apex autoLYNX sway bar disconnect and Innovative JK Products under the seat 4 tire air system. You will have a couple hundred left over.

The autoLYNX is a great price and good innovation. If I had a non-Rubicon I'd totally buy those... I take that back. I have had issues with my electric disconnect lol, maybe something like this is in the future.

There's already a skid plate as the mount for the arm.

Yeah the problem is that bracket gets mangled after a few rock gashes. If it bends, you can throw off your alignment, and need a new bracket re-welded.

Knockoff steel bumper and 15k winch.

RCV axles for me.

$1500? Ohhh. Gas. Next trip to N.C. would burn 1/2 that.

I'd probably add some more underarmor. I have a full belly skid and front LCA skids, but I'd go with a couple more somethings... Ideas? Maybe rear LCA skids, diff skids ...or a new clutch.

Steel bumper and winch. If not that, then belly armor.
