Default Build list feedback

Hey guys, wanted to throw down a list here and get some feedback before ordering parts.

Vehicle: 2012 JKU

What I do with it currently: DD and mostly trails and desert runs to go shooting and camping.

What I want to do with it: Be able to do some intermediate trails and go to Moab.

What I won't be doing with it: Bouncing up against boulders. Yet.

*(1)Metalcloak 3.5 ARB edition

*(5) 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers

*(1) VKS Front Stubby Bumper

*(1) JKS Quick Disco

After this, the next upgrades will be:

*Gussets and sleeves
*Regear
*VKS sliders
*Rear carrier (currently not running a rear bumper and don't care to. Maybe just chuck the spare in the back and ratchet it own if it fits)
*Front driveshaft

For wheels I'll be utilizing stock Rubi's with spacers for now unless I can find some used black aluminum wheels for around $100/piece.

Any feedback on parts or the order of planned parts to purchase would be appreciated.

Id bump those gussets and sleeves up the list ahead of the front bumper. Otherwise its looking pretty promising.
