So, I have been trying to determine what to focus on next and can't make up my mind. I have hit a point where I have all of the must haves and need some opinions.

My current build:

- AEV 2.5 lift
- 315/70/17 Duratracs
- Mickey Thompson Sidebiters
- 4.56 gears for D30 and D44
- LOD front and rear shorty signature bumpers
- Rubi Rails win ACE sliders
- Engo 10k synthetic winch
- Old Man Emu steering stabilizer
- Bushwacker fender flares
- Terraflex sway bar disconnects
- DynoMax Rock crawler cat back exhaust
- cobra CB
- Polk MM speakers w/ Alpine amps and under seat Sundown 10 sub
- PIAA lights
- PIAA Bass horn
- SPOD w/ air gauge (no air yet)
- Trektop NX
- Grabars, Paracords, etc...

(I think that's it)

Here's what is on my to do list,but nothing stands out for me. What should I add:

- AEV heat reduction hood
- Katzkin Leather Seat covers
- Viar constant duty on-board air w/ river raider Air tank mount
- half doors
- upgrade axels (far away due to cost)
- River Raider rear Corner Armor
- Dual Battery Conversion

What am I missing that may be more functional that's reasonably priced? What would be best next step? Mechanically speaking should I look at adding anything to suspension (tie rods, control arms,etc..)?

What would you do next?

 

Dual battery is what I'm looking into now.

But what do you do with your vehicle? That'll dictate what you should do next. If it's a DD then air makes sense because you can help others as well as yourself.

 

I travel quite a bit for work, so I primarily use it on weekends. We will take it wheeling when can, although closest place is an hour away. I want to start planning more organized events next year. I was leaning toward both battery and onboard air options too. Should I be reinforcing anything else? I really don't wan anything breaking when I do wheel a bit harder.

 

Axle armor or tie rod and drag link would be my suggestion. That's what I'm doing next week lol.

 

^^^THIS!

If you haven't already done so, put a gusset kit front axle to keep from damaging it. Best bet is probably the Artec kit, as it's pretty complete and fairly inexpensive. Can sleeve the front axle, too, but gussets usually work just fine. That'd be my next course of action in your position. Didn't see it on your list, but either a skid or relocation for the evap canister, too. And yes....beefier drag link & tie rod.

 

Nice..are you doing everything at once?

I am putting gussets and sleeves to the top of the list now. This is probably all I will ever need for my axels based on my wheeling and would give me a piece of mind. I am leaning toward EVO or Artec at this point, and need to track down a good welder since that's outside my garage wrenching abilities.

Great options!!!

 

[QUOTE=Mbogan;4162590]Nice..are you doing everything at once?

I am in fact. My boss basically made me take all my remaining vacation at once since the holidays are coming and I have the least amount of seniority at work. So since my jeep is my DD I figured now would be the best time to get labor intensive mods complete.
I've got trusses, gussets, and skids to weld onto both my axles. I've got a 1 ton tie rod to swap in and a PSC BFH front bumper as well. Throw on some paint for this stuff and it's going to be a major change. I can't wait lol.

Got a lot of cutting, welding, and drilling to do!
