ROI is how I look at things too. Couple of things come to mind that I don't think have the ROI, for me at least.I guess it depends, lets call it ROI (return on investment). If the mod is something you need, go for it. But if you are lifting it 6 inches and putting 40's on it, I would serious rethink of a different gearing option. That is a lot of weight to get rolling down the road. Your mileage sucks, no torque, unless you get into gearing it correctly for the additional weight. You don't think they are going to Engineer your Jeep to be able to sustain "Tank" like add ons do you? Hell no you are now the (Jeep Addict) where you have to keep feeding the habit. Been there, and unless I use it everyday for mountain crawling.. Why would I do that? Looks from the chics? or better yet their jealous boyfriends. Love a Jeep with a winch, 37's, death suspension, that has never seen dirt!!!
Tires are 1 of them. You can have 2 different 37" tires and they can vary in weight by 15#. This is actually one of the things that someone was disagreeing with me. I didn't want to add 40# of rotational, unsprung mass with little benefit. Maybe certain tires offer more benefit than I give credit. I don't have anything to compare it to, so I don't know.
The other thing that comes to mind is skids. I just added an engine/trans skid. For my needs, the factory gas tank and transfercase skid are working just fine. I can't justify adding 60-80# with no benefit. I'm not rock bashing stuff though.
