How do you decide on the millions of things to add to your jeep?

I have a long list of things I want to add to my jeep, but can seem to sort them out based on priority.

Land vehicle Tire Vehicle Car Jeep


Checkout these things I am considering for the jeep:
1) Magnaflow exhaust, Magnaflow MagnaFlow Black Wrangler Axleback Exhaust 15160 (07-16 Wrangler JK) - Free Shipping

The SOUND is amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9v3GudmOic&index=24&list=LLgTvpirHy9nVdy_hzgv9TRA

2) Cold air intakes (so many, no clue which is best in sound and performance)

3) Oracle Light/Mirrors, http://b.cdnbrm.com/images/products/rell/lights/oracle_led_off_road_side_mirrors_jeep_installed.jpg

4) Power Dome Hood MOPAR 68184708AB - MOPAR® 10th Anniversary Rubicon Power Dome Hood for 07-16 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

5) Metal Cloak overland fenders

6) These headlights http://www.wranglerforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1988561&d=1426270391

7) Front bumper (not even sure which yet)

8) Undercarriage lights, wheel lights (I need to see when and where that's legal to use)

9) ARB Differential cover painted accent color

my list goes one, but this what I have in mind so far

Please show me what you have added, if possible. I like to get inspired by looking at other jeeps.

My list of mods is mostly on what I can afford. I have no plans for either a lift or a wheel/tires combo so most of the big ticket stuff isn't an issue.

I have a bit of a fetish for lights, so that is where most of my mods will be going, as well as a few cosmetic dress up items.

I know that I'll be adding lights in the future, as a result when I installed the switch for my day time running lights, I added the other three switches at the same time. I also ran all the wires to the terminal blocks that I installed under the hood, etc. I will add relays when I add the lights.

I have a trailer hitch on my list, but I'll probably hold off on that until I foresee a need to actually pull a trailer. I will get my mirrors (for when doorless) around spring time, as I don't see taking the doors off before then.

Just my two cents

I mod as I find that the stock parts are inferior or don't meet my needs. I bought a Rubicon so that I don't have to go crazy. So far I've only replaced diff covers, tires and am getting ready to install JW Speakers. That's it. My goal is to improve on it, not recreate it. Not exciting or popular among some crowds, but it works for me.

That exhaust sounds fantastic. Why don't you get that done and let me know, you live semi near me and I want to hear it in person! Keep in mind that video isn't of a JK, I'm guessing that may make a difference.

Metal Cloak Overlands are in my top 3 next mods along with trek armor seat covers and mostly likely a Warn Zeon 10-S winch. I go back and forth on what's coming next. An exhaust is also on the short list, looking at magnaflow as well.

I'm jealous of your Jeep color, had it been offered when I ordered mine I would have had it.

This is the dilemma I'm in now too. No idea what to do next. My list basically builds off each piece and no matter how I look at it there will be some rework...at least the suspension stuff. For a nominal fee of $19.5k, I could have it all rolling on 40's. I'm so close. Hoping to do skid, SPOD, LA upgrade in the next month and then 60s when bonus comes. Sucks though is they'll sit in the garage until early '17 when my wife releases more jeep money and I can get the beadlocks and 40's.

Gas Skid
SPOD
Long Arm Upgrade
Ultimate 60s
Trail Ready Beadlocks

40's are my ultimate set-up even though I don't really use the 37's I have now. So for now I'm basically done building my Rubicon. Only other things that I might get are MetalCloak drag link and tie rod, MC Fenders (highly doubtful), re-gear (small possibility), another soft top. Its almost sad really with nothing left to do.

First things first....that exhaust won't sound the same because you have a 3.6 V6 and that video is a 4.0 inline 6. So don't expect your Jeep to sound exactly like the one in the video.

I have a growing list of things I want/need but mostly I wait until a good deal pops up and I pounce on it then cross it off my list. I will say almost all of the things on your list are different than mine. I tend to go for function over form.

I always go cheapest first... (and i mean cheap like 20 bucks.. or so)
then self recovery ( nobody likes being stuck because getting out can cost a lot and take away mode money)
then how to strengthen and not brake things... armor and stuff because if you break you will need recovery... and a tow and to replace things.. very expensive

However my jeep was pre lifted
