My vote is for gears!

Northridge could provide something that gives inner strength, like Ken has. New axle shafts, gears, or interior protection for the driver and passengers - seats, cage...

there are a lot of excellent ideas here, but some wont work as I already did them:

I think northridge could help with some interior features, aka cargo/equipment carriers and mounting.
It has a EVO rear tailgate table & Tuffy cubby cover.

What a great cause btw!
It has a full set of Rockhard skids (except the evap, which was relocated) It has LoD sliders already, just not installed in the pic. Also has OrFab rock doors not shown.

Kick ass switch panel for all the lights.
Tuffy boxes
Cb
Black ARB diff covers with lockers
It has a full Tuffy console, underseat concealment box, glove box, and rear cubby cover. It has a Cobra CB. It has a ton of lights on it already (fog, driving, & long range). Switch panel would be a good idea. It has diff covers already.

It has onboard air, installed but not wired, I was waiting on a switch panel I intended to build this winter.


All excellent ideas, but i had it built to where i was ready to finish my switch panel (winch, air lockers, onboard air) and installation of new axles. That is right where I got stalled.

Wow. It is already built up nicely then. SO I'd say definitely beefed up new axles, geared and locked. Maybe rip out the carpet and Line-X? And how about some rock lights?
