Smart man. Learn all you can, so that you don't get caught in the middle of an install and realize you could have done it better.

Well the plan is constantly changing, but the goal remains the same.
Right now I'm researching and planning the order I want to do the following:

JCR Vanguard Prerunner front winch bumper
Smittybilt X20 10k winch
JCR Rear bumper with tire carrier
RotopaX mounts
LED cube lights in front & rear bumpers
JCR gas tank skid
JCR rock sliders
TNT transfer case skid
Built Dana 44 front & rear
4.56, ARB, 35 spline
Rear disc brakes on the new axle
HD frame stiffeners
LineX the roof and bottom of doors
Front runner slimline II roof rack
Front runner feather lite roof top tent
Front runner behind the seat water tank
Drawer storage system
ARB fridge
LED interior lights
Kenwood in dash navigation
Polk audio sound system
Mastercraft Baja RS front seats
Possibly Dynamat the interior
Spectre cowl intake with Syclone snorkel
Dual AGM batteries
BBK 62mm throttle body
Banks torque tube header
High flow cat
Banks monster exhaust
FFD Triple Threat Radiator
Napier hood vents
Napier fender flares
32x11.5 or 33x10.5 tires
And when the time comes...4.6L stroker

A lot of this can not be done while I am on Oahu or I would have to give up my first born for shipping costs. So I am doing what I can now and will wait to see where my next duty station takes me.

I was going to stay that will cost you a year of E5 wages just in shipping. How long until you PCS, also what rank are you now?

Well I should be an E5 right now, but that is a long story, so I'm still an E4 until I switch platoons, then I will get E5. I extended for another year here so I won't leave until March next year.

GAY!!! Hopefully your next duty station is GA, at least that way we can wheel together and I'll see a friend I haven't seen in years

That would be awesome if I got it. I'd be close to Pinaula & commo smith as well.

Mike lives in augusta which is where my daughter is at. Baskin is also at ft Gordon. And a bunch of guys are at Stewart. On top of that you have a fair amount of people at Benning too.

Sub'd. Love clean XJ's. Nothing worse than clicking on a thread and seeing someone hack away with no idea what they're doing.

Me too, I agree. If I wanted a crawler, I would've bought a TJ. The XJ serves a different purpose, in my opinion. To each their own path though.

Yeah that would be ideal or FT. Carson, CO would be a nice location too, for wheeling at least.
