Help!  where Do I Start?

You would probably be surprised how many times a day we hear "I just got a new Jeep, where do I start?!" Enough, in fact, that we finally decided to dedicate a page just for that - upgrading your new TJ Wrangler (more Jeeps to follow!).

We feel that how you build your Jeep is something that you will need to decide as you learn through trial and error which upgrades you'll need to add, since terrain and driving habits can and will vary greatly from person to person. We thought this page might help provide a starting point.
