Hey now, chrome looks really cool when covered in mud! I 'like' my
Laredo package with the chrome rims, chrome grill and stainless bumpers.

tailpipe resonator.

-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

-MUD should be your first mod...

If you are going to play off road, a set of tow hooks and a 'tow' or
'snatch' strap with sewn loops and a stretch factor are a must. The tow
hooks anchor to the frame and are good for either giving or getting a
pull. A strap that stretches makes it easier to not damage things
because it doesn't come up hard.

A fire extinguisher is also a good thing to have along with a first aid
kit. The fire extinguisher mounts to the roll bar or right beside the
driver's seat on the floor.
