I installed the OME stage 1 lift and 31's this weekend. I really enjoyed working on the Jeep and want to do more. This is the only thing that's been added so far. What are the next steps to make the Jeep more capable offroad?

If you got the stock bumpers on.... take'm off! Get something a little stronger just incase you decide to bash some rocks. Or go with some rocker gaurds. Its really up to you on how you wanna build it.... the list is endless!

You got that jeep thang.

Tell him what happens now, skeeter!

My pockets are empty.. i give every check to my bank to pay off my jeep loan
Depends where you want to go next:
rocks.. get some bumpers
mud.. get some recovery straps/ropes - or winch
etc..

 

[Odhinn]

Depends on what capabilities you want out of your jeep. I personally would go for recovery gear next. Just my personal preference of course.

 

[Adventurous]

Bumpers are definitely on the list. I'll have to wait to get my refund before I can think about the winch. I'm a female with an addictive personality and am not surprised that I got the Jeep thang. I did the same thing with scuba diving, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, etc. I think the Jeep thang will be my most expensive additction although scuba diving was quite costly.

I've been eyeballing Black Mountain Winches. From what I've seen they stand up very well to some pretty abusive stuff. They also are a bit easier on the wallet. Just dropping some info for ya to save some shopping time.

The next step would be for you get a lot of seat time off-road and see what the jeep will do. Then from there you can plan your next upgrade. Do you belong to an off-road club? If not look into joining one.

Armor - Can you list stuff in order of importance?

Clubs - I don't belong to one and would like to. Any recommendations for the MA/CT/RI area?

 

[Scout]

Let’s start with the lowest part of the vehicle:

Differential skid plates or heavy differential covers
Steering box skid plate
Upgrade your tie-rod
Belly-up skid plate
Oil pan skid plate
Engine skid plate
Gas tank skid plate
Rock sliders
Bumpers
Tube fenders and crusher corners/flares

I’m sure I missed something but I know someone will jump in and add to it.

I beat you to it. :flipoff: Although your response looks more professional.

Here are a few pictures, showing some mods. Even personalizing your rig, with stickers. If you think you have an addictive personality, the list is endless......... Just to give you some visual upgrades. Note: minimum of 4" suspension lift. Welded on rock rings, to protect your rims, etc, etc, etc...... have a look.

Sorry, forgot the shot of the wheels......

 

[jeeptales]
