Mod for $300 or less

jeepincb · 10-05-2005, 09:15 PM

Looking for a mod to my stock X $300 or less. Already have 31's, looking for some suggestions. thanks

Every $300 you spend leads to $500 more.

Do you have safety equipment like fire ext, first aid kit, tow hooks and strap(s)?

baileyaz · 10-05-2005, 09:34 PM

CB...if you plan on doing any trails with a group. Second, quick disconects. Or vise versa.

Safety and protection first. All the stuff Union Guy mentioned is top priority. Then look at skid plates like oil pan and rockers.

deffinatley get some skid plates! I put it off, and now im wishing i hadnt. Thats probably the next thing im going to buy!

hmmmm as far as protection, i would start searching for rockers and corners. Your underside is pretty well protected. If you have a newer TJ those rear gas tank skids are pretty decent. for what you will be getting into with 31's at least. I would say for 300 bucks start looking for used rockers and corners. Your rockers are going to take the most abuse since you'll be sitting so low. as far as an oil pan skid, that's up to you. I"ve never hit mine, but that doesn't mean it doesnt happen.

Tow Strap

GPS

Steering box skid-cheap, like $50 or so

Rocker Guards are under $300 easy

Front locker-$250 for a lockright or aussie...you'll love the difference

I love my power inverter. Whether you prefer this one or a larger one, they are very useful to have around. When I get my TJ replaced this is one of the first things going back in it. $45 from Wal-Mart ... picked one up today actually.

Skids! You have to protect it or you'll be walking home.

NJSurfCowboy · 10-06-2005, 12:43 PM

id say oil pan skid and steering skid....those protect two vital areas of your jeep that if u mess up, it may be very hard to get home..

buy a REBB and all you will need is to save for a MM and 1 inch BL to run the 33 inch tires you posted about in an earlier thread. unless you want the 35 inch tires instead.

the BB is easy to install my 14 year old son did most of the work on ours.

Hmm, $300,...

Either skids or a lunchbox locker, either end, your choice.
