This is my current wheel size 245/65 R17
And yes it does have a 2" Budget boost right now.

Just search for threads on recovery gear, it will pull up over 40 threads on the topic.

Great vehicle!
My buddy has a very similar WJ with a 2" budget boost, and 265/70R 16 Falken Wild Peak tires. Very impressive capabilities even with the open center differentials.
Your list of goodies should work out awesome.
Two good tow points on the front, and a snatch rope, couple of Bow-Rings, and a set of gloves would get you a long way.
A winch hangs out pretty far off the front, unless the front cross member is modified.
Here is a great website with a lot of different options for the WJ bumpers, tow points and such.

For the winch, go light, like the Warn M8000 with synthetic rope. That is a workhorse of a winch, without a lot of weight or bling. A great winch to tuck in tight with a modified front cross member.
For winch support gear, if you get synthetic rope, the snatchblock choice becomes important, so that it doesn't chafe or trap the rope.
Might want to hold back on the front bumper and winch for a while. You'll be impressed with the capabilities with your mods.
Look forward to following along on your build and adventuress! :beer:

Things are moving along. Just picked up 10 JK Hard Rock take offs. Should have enough now for my trailer build also.

I just finished my front flatland 4x4 bumper with winch, and have the rear cut out waiting for time. I did order the bumpers through g&g fab though so they did the cutting for me. Excellent front bumper for the price! I'm very happy. Easy build also. I am experiencing a bit of flex when winching though, so I'm looking for additional bracing options.
