Ha, this is pretty easy.
I've already got an ARB for my rear, and 4.10 gears all around.
So to start a front ARB locker.
1)Custom made (by me) roof rack with lights in front, side, and rear.
--all lights on top will be completely selectable. I can have any portion on or off at any time in any combo
2) Front and rear bumper
--front with a hoop, rear I may just use a tow bar
3)winch, no explination needed
4)Long arm setup
---have yet to decide how tall. I like LCOG, but not sure what I'll end up with
5) Sliders and skids
6)Yet TBD
I'm working out a turbo setup, but thats not gonna count.

The last thing I can think of off the top of my head is one of those b***hin tents that has the connecting piece that goes around the back of the jeep so you can get into the cargo area.

My Jeep is pretty much as complete as I want it, with the major exception of a H&T SYE.
Then I can remove the 1-inch TC drop, and regain some clearance.
Have a winch, so I don't need lockers
Now if I could only improve gas mileage. Gettin around 13 avg right now.

Selling it within two month and getting 3 grand for it
Seriously though, first I have to get a new tie rod bar, sway bar & links, quarter armor, rebuild the front posi, new windshield, and repaint the thing. I'm not much of a Jeep guy lol

I want to have the perfect harmony of tech (computer, wifi, lcd screens etc..) and brute strength.... (solid aftermarket parts, grill bars, custom bumbers etc...)
