What were your first JK mods

[Ghost*JK]

My first was the JK HD Aluminum Hinged Carrier Kit from Teraflex.

 

[tgoss]

The first upgrade I did was replace all the lighting with JW Speaker units. The stock headlamps were not making the cut.

 

[Jim G]

First mod was a pair of front grab handles.

 

[JK4Me]

Sidesteps and then handles.

Wheels and tires a few days after i left the dealer

 

[frenchjk]

2.5 Lift kit, front bumper, beadlocked rims, tires, procal(if that counts as a mod) as soon as it was off the dealer floor.

Haha This is a great list of first mods. Have fun counting down the days to when you can pick up your jeep lol. Congrats

First was grab handles for front and rear doors. Second was CRES cover for rear and bikini top, then was trimming fenders

My first mod was removing the stickers and decals. I parked it at home, went inside to grab the hear gun and went to work

 

[cartertripp]

My first mods were Ace Stubby Front bumper and Smittybilt XRC tire carrier and bumper. I basically got rid of all of the plastic on the jeep.

First mod I did (not cheap) was swap the pathetic stock head lights for some TruckLites.

Excellent first mod.

 

[notnalc68]

Start with stuff like this.


Recovery Gear

Buy a WARN winch & a mounting plate like RockHard makes, until you can afford a good front bumper.

 

[Mizippi]

Flip the rear view mirror over then you can see over the head rest in the back.

My days are moving at a snails pace. I also forgot 5.13 Yukon gears

Grabars and JW Speakers

 

[SteveC6R]

I recently just bought my first JKU and it had somethings already done such as a lift, grab handles, etc. so I went the safety and recovery route for my first mods somewhat.

I bought a fire extinguisher, Hi-Lift Jack, winch, and recovery kit. As far as actual mods to the Jeep...diff covers and sway bar quick disconnects. I also bought a Powertank for airing and tool duty.

If you buy a Jeep used, it may already have the factory front air dam removed. That leads to hood flutter on the highway. This is my first mod to the Jeep I bought, Saturday, although not technically my first mod.

Daystar Hood Wranglers. Easy to install, cheap ($24.94 on Amazon), & believe me, they work! I used them on my last Jeep.
