First 5 Mods For Jeep Wrangler | Daily Driver Edition

[@IamShaunnaNakice]

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 !

[@damonbuchanan4948]

The dealership put a leveling kit on my JL with a new set of 33”. Looks good

[@rsayer]

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

[@danrockwell1883]

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

[@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.

[@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.

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....

[@pawlowjp]

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

[@Florida_beach_life]

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.

[@shaneh7519]

@@danrockwell1883yep, massive rims and a small tire sidewall is a dead giveaway. Meanwhile my stock rubicon crushes trails as is. But your car your choice.

[@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)

[@SpikeRockNRoll]

Perfect video to make a pavement princess. No mention of a winch!!!

that hood is soo badass... awesome jeep bro, im looking forward to start modding my JL

[@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]

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.

[@Yeritsmario91]

If you are going to lift your Jeep and change tires buy a rubicon. Longevity is the key!!!

[@danrockwell1883]

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

[@ca7889]

Good video for what you did to your Jeep, sorry about the crap you 're getting from Jeepers who use their rigs for actual off-road, I despise those that put down others, especially when a video is about appearance, just a piece of advice as far as the video's go put in the disclaimer about lifts and tires as far as functionality. We all know some people never take their rigs off road. Enjoy your Jeep

[@danrockwell1883]

Thanks man. Yeah I figured most would know when I say “daily driver” I’d love to take my Jeep off-road but it’s just insane to me to take something worth almost 50k and beat on it. I know myself and I’d do stupid stuff off-roading haha. When I have more money maybe. Thanks for the comment!

[@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. Sport you can make badass too but may miss out on some goodies. No wrong answer
