Re: Newbie Question: What accessories do Jeep most love?
Matt...ur jus mean dewd! lol
For me...I say buy skid plates and rocker protection...learn how to drive
your Jeep off road for a year or two then a 4" lift and a set of 33" TrXus
MT's :)and ur good to go...at that point you'll learn why you want lockers,
better crawl ratio etc...
Although one "accesory that is kool and has function if you get to deep
water crossings is a snorkel...snorkel do look kool... ;)
IMHO ;)
