There is always a lot to do on the Jeep. I'm curious as to some smaller upgrades or modifications that you have done or recommend.
One I have talked to a couple people about is the air intake replacement. Steering stabilizers? One of the next items I need is a fuel tank skid.

Re: Smaller upgrades
The stock air intake on a JK is great, I wouldn’t change it. The aftermarket ones sound a little better but they are more prone to have issues with dust and water on a Jeep that’s actually used off road. The factory steering stabilizer is fine, just needs to be relocated a little higher so it doesn’t get crushed in the rocks. Trimming the fenders is a free mod and really opens up the wheel wells and looks good if done right.

Re: Smaller upgrades
Not having a JK here is what I would do based on what I have heard
Ensure all the basic skids are met including that canister in the back.
Get the steering stabilizer relocated to the higher position
Do what you like to make it function for you.

Re: Smaller upgrades
Actually, you likely don't need a fuel tank skid, the stock ones are pretty good, you should get the other skids and the Evap canister armor/relocation. and then sliders if you don't already have.DaThug wrote:There is always a lot to do on the Jeep.

Re: Smaller upgrades
the stock fuel is pretty thin, when I had her lifted that was the first thing Scott said.. I should replace the fuel skid as its pretty dinged up. I have many other skids as I did those before lifting.

Re: Smaller upgrades
Skid plates always best upgrade! Cold air intakes are for mall crawlers 
. And as Randy said relocate steering stabilizer.

Re: Smaller upgrades
Relocate the evap as well. Better than a skid.
