I have a a few (so many) plans for this jeep once the minister of finance approves additional purchase orders.

This is located in the central north island. 300km road trip, 100km mountain bike trail, 300km road trip back.

Well. Finances being the main issue of course... but...

1) 33s, bumper upgrade (plus recovery points) and lift (2.5 inch? I need to research lifts and highway driving). I could be wrong but i think all 3 need to be done at the same time otherwise it'll look naff.... (open to suggestions on that).
2) roof rack. I have my eyes on the rhino rack backbone system. I need to do some research to determine whether the weight actually is distributed down or whether it's a BS marketing ploy.
3) reversing aux lights, just a couple of cubes so I can see where the hell i am backing up.
4) ham radio upgrade.
5) light bars.
6) camping accessories. Probably more camping wishes vs. Armor upgrades.

If i get into off roading seriously, locking diffs etc.

I think im looking 5 to 10 years and the price of another jeep to get it where i want it to be.......!
