Well, I've saved a few bucks for the truck fund and am trying to prioritize my large list of wants. This is what I'm thinking about doing in the very near future-
- a 30" LED combo spot/flood light bar to light up the woods, mounted on top of the bumper in front of the grille.
- ARB air locker for the rear. I entertain the idea of re-gearing at this time. A new front and rear third with 4.56 Nitro gears and the ARB in the rear- completely set up and shipped for $2600. I should be able to easily install myself. If I just do the ARB in my current rear end with 3.91s, I have to pull the third member, take it to the shop and then wait a few days without a vehicle before I can re-install. This would still cost me about $1500 in parts/labor. So do I suck it up and fork out the extra $1000 to have a much nicer gear ratio, plus have the gears set up by a place that really knows what they're doing? Hmm..
- My flimsy rear bumper is nicely dented from a tree that jumped out of nowhere, so a custom replacement is high on my list of wants. I'm also tired of dragging that thing and the hitch that hangs below it. I should be able to loose 7" with a new one and trim the quarter panel to give me a much better departure angle. I'd like an integrated hitch receiver, shackle mounts, and some rear quarter panel protection. Simple. I talked with a few local fab shops and it seems they could whip up something pretty easily.
