With the fall season coming up work is gonna slow down some so I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on quick, easy upgrades I could do in the downtime. I have a 2000 Wrangler, automatic. It is my DD so the shorter the better. Basically I’d like to just have something to do to keep me busy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Custom bumpers is something cool to do if you like to weld. I modified/beefed up my rear factory bumper and added two recovery points to easily attach a clevis. My front bumper I built D-rings that slide into the square tubing below the front bumper. Looks great and makes recoveries a breeze.

Not necessarily in this order but this is what I see quite a bit on here and would recommend myself.

1. Replace your fender flares if they are grey and faded. Not the most fun but the results of seeing black flares again is super rewarding.
2. Install a Moryde rear tailgate unit. Removing the factory hinges on a 2000 will be no fun but this is a big upgrade.
3. Currie cable transfer case shifter.
4. Currie Correctlync HD steering.
5. Toyota replacement headlamps. This seems to be very popular and a worthy improvement if you are running stock bulbs.
6. Change out your stock bumpers if you want to change up the look. Those bolts are typically not too difficult to remove.

That sounds cool but I can’t weld plus I have a pacemaker so welders are a nono for me.
 
I pulled out my carpets, then used carpet cleaner on them Used a scrub brush and a pressure washer, let them dry and reinstalled them. The carpets looked so much better and only cost a few bucks
I could not believe how much dirt flowed out of my carpets as I hosed them off in the driveway after scrubbing.
