I just got my jeep last week and it has a lift kit and tires appointment on Monday. I am so excited.

[@caitlynpardo5639]

Can you list where you bought your stuff

[@CD-lw6fl]

I put the 33” no lift and no regrets !

Sick whip man, don’t know why people get so mad about owners making their jeep cool looking without taking it off-road 😂😂

They’re just mad they poured even more money into their Jeep and it looks like shit 😂

@@TheClamy8911 and you're a grown ass man with a username called "destroyer of worlds"

[@cj7420]

@@danrockwell1883 those of us who pour more money into our jeeps and take them off road, we need the functionality of those more costly parts vs. what looks good at the local Starbucks on meet night. Anyone can buy stuff from wish to make anything look good at the mall. different strokes for different folks. That being said, you should start off your videos with " first 5 mods for a non off road Jeep" as you may get some that copy your opinion on mods and find they wasted their money if the choose to hit trails that are harder than your average fire road. everyone buys their vehicles for a different purpose. At least you didn't put an angry grill on it with rubber ducks in the dashboard. lol keep on doing what you do, everyone has their path in life.

[@justanotherchad9554]

@@danrockwell1883 I don't think that's it. I think they have a superiority complex pertaining to off-road vs on-road Jeep owners. But you know what? Where I live every other vehicle is an "off-road" Jeep and yet in the past year that I have owned mine I have NEVER seen another Jeep here off-road except for my and my father's Jeep.

[@BluestofFalcons]

Facts. You wanna drive a Jeep off a cliff, good for you. But mind your business. Too easy

[@avry5101]

just got a 2012 wrangler, thankfully it already had a lift kit, bigger tires and black rims, wench, and a full custom sound system when I bought it

[@buenaburks3201]

Thank you for the information and tips. I am on the process of 2nd modification after I did my Hot pink wrapped, I am on the process of lifting my Hot pink Jeep!

[@HDcompany_]

Post yours?

[@commanderroddi7742]

Got 2 inch lift, 35" on my Rubicon, and I love the Jeep Modular steel bumber (was a great option). Winch is a MUST (was my FIRST) and added a brush guard that protects teh winch a bit more. AS for Running boards, I'd get the ones that double as rock rails as well. Having said that, my jeep (a '21 JL Rubicon unlimited hybrid (4xe) was able to do Hell's Revenge in Moab stock! (THink the electric engine helped a lot!) but the 35" tires and lift make it so rock rails and underrside armor don't scrape as much! NIce Jeep! I'd add a winch to it :) Maybe some extra lights? (which I plan to do to mine next)

[@pawlowjp]

I’m getting one next month from my dad. Completely stock! Looking forward to enhancing it

[@tym3kill3r33]

If your going to lift it and put on tires I would suggest either front lower control arm drop brackets or adjustable control arms. The ride and handling is so much better.

[@gorillahd9247]

Adjustables for the win!

My stock Jeep is pretty badass I'd say. I plan on a 2.5-in lift and bigger tires when my radials wear out. But she's badass as-is.

[@danrockwell1883]

Heck yeah?

[@trippyboi958]

Dude, you gotta give the specs and everything you did on your last one from the vid from the tires, like where you got stuff and what you got. Freakin beautiful

[@ButterscotchBlonde]

First mod I’m making on my ‘21 JLU Sahara is changing the running boards. No offense to people who like them, but I think the factory ones look soooo cheap, and throw off the look of the body-matched fenders and roof. Next will be 33s on 18s, maybe a lift. Great video!

[@danrockwell1883]

Hell yeah! Wish I did that earlier. Big impact and pretty inexpensive

[@paultheseafoodchef9399]

That's going to look really clean 💯💯

Thank you 🙏🏼 😊

[@K-9-force]

Just making sore you weren't promoting this for off road.. your right no wrong mod for your jeep. make it what you want for what you want it for.... have fun...

[@danrockwell1883]

Yeah I never went off roading. Can’t afford taking a 50k vehicle off road. Someday!

[@K-9-force]

Yeah my first few times out with my 22 rubicon gladiator was a little nerve racking. When decide to go make sure to first take it through some brush and get desert pinstripes..... it's going to happen so just get it done.....then start small and work your way up.... when you find out what your jeep is capable of you'll be hooked .... you'll only tear up your rig if you do things you shouldn't be doing....oh.... but you'll definitely tear up those tires and rims...... need more side wall....

[@wesbarcus3761]

If it's your first 4x4 and you plan to off road, add heavy duty tire carrier and a way to carry fuel outside. Learn to use it before you start lifting. Join a 4x4 club or find friends to 4 wheel with, don't go alone. Buy some recovery equipment. Drive it until tires are about half gone, by then your experience level will be much better. I like the suggestion to improve the rocker guards, stock ones aren't much good for protection.

[@danrockwell1883]

Yeah if you plan on doing off roading, don’t do what I do lol mine is mostly for looks. I have more clearance which is great but ultimately it’s built for the road and light trails for camping/hunting.

[@wesbarcus3761]

@@danrockwell1883 camping and hunting can get you into rain, snow, tight roads. The mods done on your jeep are fine for the unexpected. Plus, this ain't your first rodeo, that's why your mods fit your needs. Newbees on the other hand need a little more info before they do tires, lifts, etc. Aftermarket mods on a brand new jeep can void warranty, gas carried inside behind the seat can cause headaches.

[@dougknight1720]

Just bought a 2016 Wrangler with Most of these Mods. But will continue personalizing it

Welcome to the Jeep family. Do yourself a favor. Do NOT listen to ANY advice given in this video. He may have good intentions but he has no knowledge on how to build a Jeep properly. My family has been buying, selling, modifying and racing Jeeps since 1953. This video is nothing but bad information on how to properly set up a Jeep.

[@danrockwell1883]

Thanks man. This comment above cracks me up lol. His Jeep may perform better off road but that’s not my goal. If you want a solid looking jeep for an affordable price and don’t go off-roading all the time, you definitely can follow my advice.

[@BiancaGreenJeep]

Good suggestion man, of course. Glad you got something out of the vid 👌🏼

[@rustbeltrobclassic2512]

What kit still clears a standard garage door? Will your jeep fit in your standard garage? I ask because here, it's -30F with the wind 2 months of the year, and i drive a stick.. So no remote start.. And before anyone chimes in.. E-Brakes freeze in the winter, so it has to be in gear..

@Danrockwell what are a good brand of tires and can you put 33 inch tires on 2008 jeep wrangler without a lift kit I’ve been looking at videos. I also went to my Dodge Jeep ram dealership and fire stone tires but so indecisive on what kind of tires to get but I want the look. Lol fire stone told me that they don’t think they will fit it in some of the tires that I looked at. They said they don’t come in 33s did BF good rich I looked at those the Falken bridge stones Toyo nittos Mickey Thompsons

[@danrockwell1883]

If you want to best bang for your buck, order Venom Power XT’s, there’s not the best but there the best cheap tire and look great.

[@rustynaquin3411]

Did you have to change your driveshafts? Debating going between 3 or 4 inch lift. 18x 10 with 33 or 35? 20x10 with 33 or 35’s. So many questions lol. 2016 JK.

[@stephaniecotton2425]

Rite so many questions I’m indecisive as well. I’m looking for a new pair feet or shoes should I say but I don’t have a lift kit but they say that you can get a 33 inch tire without a lift kit. I really don’t want to do too much manufactory I had a jeep Compas a jeep latitude Cherokee then I just got this jeep so I’ll trade my car is in very often so but I do want to change the factory tires

If you get the 2.5 $200 one it’ll be stock just higher. You can get a 2.5 or 3.5 from rough country with the upgraded shocks and coils. I’ve never had an issue with them. Best bang for you buck!

For the extra 10k to get a rubicon, put 10k into a sport. It’ll be better than a rubicon at that point. Suspension, lift, new gears, then you’d have enough left over for wheels

[@danrockwell1883]

I like Sahara, less than a rubicon and everything you can ask for inside. If you plan on doing a ton of off roading, it may be worth getting the rubicon because it comes with a better gear ratio for big tires and upgrades suspension.
