There as a post about this a couple days ago. What jeep do you have, what have you done so far, what are you looking to do with it?

I uploaded a photo and all the specs but I guess no one else can view it yet. Any suggestions on how to make my profile viewable?

There are a few things on my list that I need to have done but I don't know what will give me those most bang for my buck.

1) 538 gears ($1600)
2) Beadlocks ($2000)
3) New suspension (convert to coilovers: king=$4000 front, $6000 rear canti lever)
4) Rear driveshaft (Tom Woods= $400)
5) Body work (cutting front bumper, cutting fender walls, dropping lift 2" by removing spacers, additional skids, moving muffler to front of rear diff) $???

I wish that I could do all of this but no way. Unless there is a way to get good quality coilovers for a cheaper price.

Man would love to have your current set up. Seems like at this point in your progression the next level is going to take more than what you have. Just go for the gears and driveshafts and maybe the body work. Honestly though the front coil overs would be the next step. I don't think coil overs are as important for the rear. I may be wrong though
