$100 gift card from work...

[Deleted User 38384]

I won a $100 Visa gift card from work today.

If I wanted to run 37 early next year, what would be the one part that you think would be most likely to fail or get damaged when off-roading that I should put this money towards?

I'm looking for a part in the $150 range if at all possible.

What do you think? Steering stabilizer? Track bar? Wheel spacers?

If I run 37s next year, what one part would have benefit most from?

Put it in savings…$100 won’t go very far by itself, but is a good start towards wheels, skid plates, and a lift.

My favorite $100 mod has been redline hood struts.

Metalcloak sector shaft brace or track bar relocation and stabilizer kit. But really 150 bucks isn't going to help you with 37s

Sector shaft brace, I like the Steer Smarts brace.

37s means you’re going to try harder trails I’m betting. Maybe save it for the next thing that gets damaged. Then you will know what to buy and it will be $100 cheaper. Theoretically.

Or you could have a senior moment like me and when you’re leaving for the day, decide to do just one more trail and forget to disconnect your sway bar. .For me a push of the button so no excuse. I know that’s not an issue for you (regarding age or sway bars) so just an example. Here’s what happens when physics disconnects your swaybar. Now if only I had a $100 gift card or hadn’t already spent it

Interesting thoughts. I'll have to look into those sector shaft braces, I've never even heard of that one.

The truss wouldn't be a bad idea either honestly.

On the flip side, waiting till whatever breaks first ain't a bad idea either. If anything that might be the smartest choice here. Rather than upgrading something that doesn't break, save it for something that does.

So many possibilities. Although now that I think about it, here's another thought, get another steel spare wheel, so that I can run two spares next year.

Truss is great, but even if it costs under $200, it's not a cheap install.

But the smart choice isn’t usually the fun choice…so there’s that.

You're going bring up the smart choice on a forum where we all bought Jeeps?

Weren't you talking about getting a new steering stabilizer? That (or an associated relocation bracket) is in that ballpark.

$100 gift card would get you a GREAT dinner for you and the other half. A happier other half means less problems when spending the money to go to 37s.
