Just got my JK and looking at throwing some money towards her
Looking at spending $1500 at the moment and was wondering what do you all suggest.
Will be doing mild of road, and beach work to start with but still want no warranty issues
In terms of value for money and something you'll get benefit from every time you drive I'd say look at getting some new suspension. Not sure you'll do it for $1500 depending on what you go for but I've just done mine and it made a massive difference. The ride is so much better and steering is far less jittery over broken roads.
This will only affect your warranty if you have issues that are directly related to the parts you fit. After seeing how much difference it makes to the ride and handling though, if I ever bought another new JK I would get new suspension fitted before I even picked it up from the dealer.

My sugestion would be a compressor and a tyre gauge/deflator as well as some recovery gear such as snatch strap, bow shackles, long handled shovel and some training so you know what do do and how to use the recovery gear when you need it.
