What else should I get? (pics)

Black Jeep · **Posted:** Mon Jan 15, 2007 4:35 pm

Hey guys I was just testing out my new camera I got from my parents for an engagement present and what better way to test it out then on the Lib. I wanted to get your opinions on what else I should get for my Jeep. I have a light bar sitting in the closet from christmas just waiting to be installed (havnt had the time for it). BTW I called the jeep place for a quote and they said they would only charge me $180 for installation. Just for fun I asked them how much they were selling the light bars and they said round 400 I am glad I bought mine brand new on ebay for $280 -$300 I cant remember how much I payed but I got a really good idea. I wasn't sure if i trusted the guy but when it came i looked at it and it is brand spanking new with all of the stuff i need for the install I just dont want to do it by myself because of the drilling. So please take a look and let me know what you think and what I should add to it.

I already have:
Magnaflow 40 series
2 Kicker 12" subs
1200 watt sony amp
tinted windows
window guards
bra (not shown)
new Pioneer head unit
Sirius Replay
235/75/16 BF Goodrich tires
Black Crager 16x7
Light bar (not installed yet)

thanks
Chris

At least its the right color, rims and tires with the white letters out looks good also. What do you need next, RL bumpers, or ARB front, more lights on the front oh wait now getting in on my list....

What kind of box do you have your satellite radio plugged into?

The sirius replay plugs into the back of my head unit in the aux input connector.

A cargo cover or rear interior rack to hide the sub?

Could you down size the pictures a bit? Thanks.

For looks (and function) A roof rack to go with that light bar.

If you are planning on doing some offroading, skid plates and rear hitch or tow hook if you dont have it already.

Since you are not lifted, do you get any rubbing with that tire size?

Congrats on the engagement, your parents must be excited to be rid of you, mine only took us out to dinner :lol:

I have two comments, and I hope that they don't come over as snotty....
1) Spend a bit of time cleaning up your wiring. Some strategic wire placement will go a long way in the professional look of a job. I hate seeing wires in my installs, and would be glad to offer some advice if you PM me with some pictures of how the wires are routed now...

2) Get a program for your camera that will shrink the size and width down on the photos, it's really hard to look at a picture that is 10 monitors wide. (I thought that this problem would end when I got my new laptop with the 17" monitor....

Other than that, I love the look of your jeep based on what I could see.

dont be afraid to drill your roof!.. i installed my light bar last night and it was pretty easy.. they instructions are good.. i just used 2inch masking tape to mark how far back.. then used the tape again to put across my roof and maked the holes...(and it saves it from scratching your roof while moving it around) it's nice the headliner doesnt have to come out or anything.. but if you do do it make sure it's 67mm back from the front of the roof.. if you go back 70mm it'll hit the inner roof structure

..... if you have basic knowledge about cars you can do it no problem.. besides that will save you money to almost buy the mopar skids!
