My planned mods

over time, I am hoping to get the following mods: Fab Fours Bumpers front and back, Sliders (havent decided on brand but need to this week), Sonoransteel LCA, Treknwil's LCA skids , new skids (there was a post somewhere that had some really nice ones for front, and gas tank), 3" lift (havent decided on brand yet, looking at donahoe front, OME rear, but really dont know enough about lifts yet to decide), and 35" BFG MT's. I also want a winch for the bumper and an ARB front air locker and hope to make my own snorkel... Id like opinions and suggestions on my choices and the things im uncertain on still. I know this will take a LONG time as its several thousand $$. Some of the stuff I plan to do soon (like the sliders) and some will be towards the end (lift and tires).

Treknwil's LCA skids
Wish we could get him to make and sell these things, Ive seen a few offered from some vendors but they dont look as good as his. So....those are really just on my wishlist, have to buy some knockoff I guess

I believe it's Budbuilt. Here's the link:
http://www.budbuilt.com/new/. I must say you have good taste. You may need the lift after the front bumper/winch install.

Re: My planned mods

You will want to do the lift, either right before or in conjunction with, putting on the bumpers and winch. If not, you will end up with quite a bit of sag on the stock springs.

Re: My planned mods

Yeah, the bumpers will probably go one at the end with the lift...actually it was Iron Mountain Performance. Still not sure on what sliders or 100% on what lift im going to use.
