Mods to avoid
Most of us have done it, paid money for mods that we regretted later! What mod do you regret? I'll start with something small, I went with a stainless light bar, instead of black...Yours?

OEM/Warn Engine Skid.
Fine for the casual wheeler but if you play in the Rocks DO NOT GET THIS SKID.

When I first got my Jeep a couple of years ago, I bought a set of used tube steps. They didn't last long...they ended up kinda shaped like a rainbow! Thankfully I only paid $40 for 'em. Much happier with my Shrockworks rockers now!

ProComp suspension lift, ProComp ES-3000 shocks, nerf bars (tube steps), tail light guards, first-generation Tera control arms (distinguished by having polyurethane bushings at both ends), under-hood tool box, under-hood Hi-Lift mount, K&N air filter, throttle body spacer, dimpled/drilled brake rotors, 33" spare tire on factory spare tire bracket... and probably a few other mods that I'll remember later.

Wow Jerry, that reads like a used Jeep ad.
Olympic 4x4 bumpers for me. Cheap price = cheap parts. |

Those plastic bumper caps that replace the floaties. I tore one off on my very first wheeling trip, and you can't just snap them back on.

Putting a full size CB in my Jeep because someone gave it to me. I didn't know that the actual CB is the cheapest part and their ain't a lot of room in the jeep. I made two stupid mistakes. (a) I looked on this forum for a couple of hours and didn't find a mounting place I liked from your suggestions. So I mounted it on the passenger side of the stick shift cover ( I don't know what the official name of this area is). It seemed like a brilliant idea until I tried to pull up my tumble passenger seat and it hit the CB. (b) I bought a 9 foot cable because I convinced myself the wrangler couldn't be that long. Well, it connected. But, just barely and not routed the way I wanted thru the cab.
If I was starting from scratch I would have bought a much smaller unit. But, I don't give up easily so Last week I bought a seat riser kit and mounted the CB under the seat. I like this alot more. Now I can see over the hood, get to my CB when necessary, and tumble my passenger seat!!

The mod I regret most right now, is the mod that was recently done to my fender on a wheeling trip to harlan ky. My fender looks like a pretzel now.
