Title: Ways to blow $500
Post by: Boring8487 on April 25, 2013, 05:11:46 PM
Ok so my wife and I are going to be selfish one more time before we have our first baby. We both get $500 for whatever we want. So my question is what would you spend it on? Also if I did what could I buy for my jeep that would give me the most bang for my buck.

If you really want bang for your bucks, give the wife your $500.

Winch. 35's and locker will get you into some nice places but sometime you will need to pull rope. By synthetic.

Either one of the two previously mentioned items would be good. I am going to ride the fence on this one though.

I'd go for giving the wife the 500 and then the bang.  Repeatedly.

Check into ENGO supposed to be a good one. Or smittybilt but some may not suggest that.  {popcorn}

I'll secon the Engo. They came in second or third place in 4wheel offroad's winch shoot out, being beat by Warn by only a few points. I've only had mine for a few months but so far I love it.

x3! Just ordered mine so no opinion yet, but I got the EPF10,000S, so the synthetic line with premium finish for under $500. After months of research I decided that was my best option.

I've got the Smitty XRC 10k...  Only had to use it a few times but pulls hard...  Wouldn't keep you in the $500 range though, with winch plate...  Since you have a two door an 8k would be plenty and keep you in the ball park...  Heard a lot of guys talking about engo...  Seems to be legit...

There is an engo rep on jk forum that will give a decent discount.
