With some good news from work, I now have some extra spending money and a green light from my wife for a few Jeep improvements. I'm looking for some advice.
With this in mind:
Generally, I tend to pay more for higher-quality stuff.
I do the work myself.
I'm not out rock crawling through extreme obstacles. Just running trails with the family and want to get through anything that looks fun. And I have to commute every day 20 miles each way with it.
Right now, mechanically, it's a stock JLUR. Stock suspension on stock 33" AT's with about 30k mile on them. Stock plastic bumpers and side rails. When I'm out on trails, I do drag the bottom a bit more than I want, but I've never been stuck.
Long term concept was a good quality 1.5"-2" lift. Some 35" AT's.
Steel mid size bumpers front and back with a winch up front.
And some better rock sliders for better protection and to help my wife and kids get in easier.
I can't afford all of that at once, but am looking for some advice on partials.
If I get 35's, without the lift. Will they look too stuffed and cause rubbing all the time that pisses me off?
If I get the bumpers only, will they be heavy and lower it down so much that I rub the belly even more?
etc.
Or better to wait and do everything at once?
I know this sounds like a nube question. So go ahead and rip away. I have thick skin.
But remember, if you're not careful, I'm just going to go buy some angry eyes for the front. I may even add the eyelashes!
