I'm sure this is an old thread, but...

Tires 33x12.5x15 (32x11.5x15 are 3 years old!!!!)
Sliders (Looking at C4X4 currently)
SYE (get rid of that damn transfer case drop!)
Diamond plate for lower door and rockers.
PIAA head light upgrade (80w/100w)
ARB Air lockers
AirFlow snorkel (I forgot!)
Rear Disc Brake upgrade (I forgot!)

Possibilities:
Long arms
frame stiffeners
Read disc brakes
4.0L rebuild, or rebuild into stroker.

Lift. I'm still trying to decide on which one and how high. It was going to happen this week, but my buddy and I can't make our schedules match up, so it'll have to be put off a little longer.:mad:

SYE (Figure why not just go ahead and do it?)

31X10.50 tires.

Winch mount bumper.

Rear bumper with spare tire carrier.

Rock Slyders.

Lockers. But that may wait 'till next year and an axle upgrade.

That ought to be enough for a while.

I was told to do the SYE first. That was the best advise I never took. :cry:

I was also told to go with a sye first. Glad I didnt waste my money on it. My list of mods....nothing. Just plan to wheel the piss out of it and upgrade whatever breaks.

My next mod is going to be moving the intake filter to the cowl. Got the parts just havn't had time to get it done. One more I am hopefully going to get done this summer is some temp doors. Thinking about some metal tubing and canvas. Not going to be anything fancy or for protection just something to keep the rain out and block the wind when it gets a little chilly.

I have to fit my snorkle. Gota move the washer bottle first. What a pain. Then I start on the front winch bar cause the shipping is to much to Aus for our vendors bars :-(

I almost forgot!! Before winter, I will have a pair of these on my Jeep! (and my wife's truck):D

I put them on my semi last winter and I don't have ANY idea how I've been driving all this time in the winter without heated wiper blades:bang:

Flip a switch, your wipers heat up tp 200 degrees and the ice melts away! Talk about "should have been OEM equipment!" I'll never again do a winter without them.

Strap it to the trailer and it will still push you through the trails

I just got some really BIG items off my to do(wish)list. Geared and locked f/r.

But now I need to change out:
*both front axle seals, both leak
*ball joints, i think all 4 are bad...
*bumpstop it some more in the front
*install my shackles I've had since 2006, and front springs since about the same time..
*I also need new rear springs as my s-10 springs are finally sagging, almost 10 years on them.
*learn to put lights on my jeep for night wheeling
*figure out why my steering is soo sloppy.
*diff protection f/r

*wish list, stroker, or 5.3L; loaded LJ :D


Then once all that's done, do a JeepSpeed build!!!!

Where's my money tree?
