Hah my parents say tires aren't "Christmassy" so they'll have to wait.

So far I have recovery straps and rear tow point (receiver) on the list

What are some good off-road lights you can get for cheap?

Any other ideas?!?

Thanks for the current ones

I need a complete list totaling to $350 in the next few days!!!

If you wheel it at all I'd strongly suggest front and rear rcovery points, rock sliders, and a hi-lift jack.

Recovery points to aid in getting your rig out of situations you really don't to be/shouldn't be in.

Rocksliders to protect the body.

Hi-lift jacks are very versitile tools and not just for replacing tires. Use extreme caution though cuz they will hurt ya if you're not careful.

For under $350? Not very likely.
