Default where should I take my build from here?

My rig is my dd and I'm tryin to make sure it's ready for the warm weather so I can beat the hell out of it again. I have a 2.5 teraflex with bilsteins and 35 inch toyos. I'm lookin to see if there's anything I should get overs winch or armor such as trackbars or lcas or something. I have a bit of flighty steering at times so maybe I should get some arms. But I figured I've gone this long is it really necessary? Or should I get a winch or some seat covers?

I would deffinatly go with some control arms to correct the geometry of your driveline. IMO that would be my next purchase.

You can never go wrong with good recovery gear. If you're going to be wheeling your rig, I'd go that route.

I agree that your priority should be to make your jeep more enjoyable to drive on a daily basis by correcting your steering geometry with either adjustable lower arms, or Rubicon Experss caster washers. After that you should worry about stuff you might never use.

Ive been down this path... lol.

If I could do it over I would go with a winch. You know how much money could have been saved in damage if I would of had a winch and just winched my way up a few obstacles instead of forcing the jeep and breaking parts

winch, it will drop your front down just a bit too with the extra weight and may help the flighty steering feel a bit.
