Got a new Jeep and not sure what your first upgrades should be? (Hint, an LED lightbar and an 'angry grill' are not on the list!)

A lift was one of the very first things we had done and it was probably one of the single-best/most used/most useful upgrades we ever did.. We didnt get a rear locker until a year later, and didnt get a front locker until 3 years later..I know everyone is different but I can't believe lockers aren't on that list.
Lockers > Lift IMO
Fair point. Skill behind the wheel is certainly one of the largest factors of successfully navigating obstacles no matter what gear or mods you have.A lift was one of the very first things we had done and it was probably one of the single-best/most used/most useful upgrades we ever did.. We didnt get a rear locker until a year later, and didnt get a front locker until 3 years later..
My non-locked friends tell me you dont need a locker if you have skill! (and, then they prove it and make me look bad)...
I would agree that lockers should be last.A lift was one of the very first things we had done and it was probably one of the single-best/most used/most useful upgrades we ever did.. We didnt get a rear locker until a year later, and didnt get a front locker until 3 years later..

It just may be true....One wheeling day I had some trouble with my first attempt of an obstacle, and my spotter yelled for me to turn on my lockers. I have switches to the right my steering wheel for my cube LEDs higher up and my Eaton e-locker lower down. Hit the switch and hippity-hop I went. At the top I heard someone yell “your lights are on!” I was very impressed — I seriously thought about getting a 50” lightbar after thatLights before lockers is what the folks over at VisionX would say! HA!
I would agree about getting a good lift early on.I think if you can afford to go with a good lift early on, that is definelty a smart move.
